A blatant barrage of pictures

For your viewing pleasure...Spring! And some summer! (Yeah, I'm behind.)

I started spring with a bang. Or a chop. I chopped my bangs. Rather, I had someone else chop them. The bangs (one hour after the chop) look much better in this picture than I do.

We gave blood and this is what happened. My arm is on top and my mom's is on bottom. I was bruised and sore for two weeks. I got a horrible huge bump under the bruise as well.

We dyed eggs with the grandbabies and had an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. I LOVE dying eggs. We still do it - sometimes with raw eggs. I have a secret wish to dye eggs sometime when it is not Easter.
J and L looking for eggs. Apparently they are so hard to find that L had to use binoculars.

My mom helping V find eggs

We told the kids to put the found eggs in the carton. V kept taking eggs out of the carton and putting them into his basket. That kid is a laugh a minute. Sometime you should hear him say, "I am a robot" in his little robot voice. It kills me.


Look! I have curly hair!

L giving R a ride

We had the prettiest spring flowers on the block! I love tulips!

D and V can fit in the car at the same time!

I love my parents!

We had some beautiful poppies and irises in the back yard.

The N family with my mom, Aunt J, and N. Z is SO tall! N (on the far right) is 6 feet tall so you have an idea of just how tall Z is. But Z is not even the tallest person in his family! His brother-in-law (not in this picture) is a good three inces taller than Z!

T was shooting a film in Utah in June, so we came back just when everyone thought they had gotten rid of us!

Father's Day with J, N, D, M and me.

D pulling R and M in the Red Flyer wagon with L pushing.

Proof that T was actually in Utah! He was gone for pretty much everything except Father's Day !

S, M, D, T.


My Dad with M and R.

With J getting ready to swim - how come no one told me I still had a blob of sunscreen on my forehead?!

At Taylorsville Dayzz with brother B and L and glow sticks.

Fireworks from T-ville Dayzz. It's my secret wish to have a professional fireworks show on my birthday. Wow - I am sharing a lot of secrets today!

S and brother B playing games at R and M's birthday party

R and M were sitting front and center to open presents and L decided that he wanted in on the action, too.

The birthday cakes! Funfetti frosting is yuuummmy.

S with L and R inside the play house.

Me and my mom. Look! We are opposite matches! We didn't even plan this!

Fun on the seesaw

C and K visiting from Missouri are fearless!

Get well stuff for my mom after her knee replacement surgery.

V reading and visiting my mom after her surgery

My cousin A married P in July.

I love her shoes!

Her dress was originally long, but she had it altered (by T's mom!) to ballet length after her bridal pictures.

My Uncle J and Aunt J. I love the centerpieces! So simply and summery!
