A Pirate's Birthday

As most of you know Theresa's Connor turned 4. This past Sunday he had awesome Pirate theme birthday that Drew got to attend. Cake, ice cream, goodie bags and swimming to top it off. I wonder why it was a Pirate theme. lol JD
Included in the goodie bag was a toy airplane. This is what Drew and his Daddy came up with.

Summertime

This is summertime in Missouri. The weather has been fairly decent up to the last couple of days. It's now hot, hotter and even HOTTER! This was taken yesterday and it was ok out of the sun and a breeze was actually stirring.
I can't believe how big Drew has gotten. Almost all his baby ways are gone. Don't know where the time went since he was a little baby in our arms.

Shy Guy

This is my third grandbaby who is such cutey pie but a bit shy. I got these the other night at his sister's softball game. Here's another one that goes with the one above.

And I finally got a couple of good shots of Kiera on the field.

Early Retirement

Today was the first unofficial day of my husband's retirement. His real date is June 30th but yesterday they told him is was put in the job bank. That means until the 30th he can sit on his rear and draw a 40 hour a week paycheck!

We really put in a busy day today!
1. First we actually went to a weekday mass with Drew mind you!!!
2. Went to Walmart
3. Went out to breakfast at Hardee's.
4. Spent over an hour at the playground for Drew.
5. Ate supper on the go from Subway.
6. Went to a 6:00 o'clock softball for Kiera granddaughter. Took my telephoto lense with me and hopefully got some awesome shots of Kiera on the field. Also I think I got a really cute couple pics of J.D too!

Got to mention a funny little thing that Drew mentioned at Movie Gallery yesterday.
He love Pirates of the Caribean. He saw the movie and said look Nana, that's a pirate movie and that's Captain Jack Sparrow and it's called Pirates of the Care Bear. The cashier and I had a hoot over that one!

You Can Teach a Old Dog New Tricks

I happen to get Renee Pearson's new Digital Designs book and made it thru the first chapter(I guess you could call it that). Well I created my first background tonite.
It's got me psych to move on and work my way thru some big and better stuff in her book. It might not seem like much to anyone else but it gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Finally Posting Again

Theresa, my best friend keeps telling me I need to update my blog, so this one's for you, Tree! I went scrapping today with another one of my friends and finished two two page layouts and almost have another one page lo done tonight. I am on a ROLL!
I have tons of pictures to scrap but never enough time to get caught up. I used a transparency and stamped Happiness walks on busy feet on the left side and then in the bottom left hand corner I stamped TRIP on a transparency and put it on top of the ZOO word. Tomorrow I will try and get the one I just finished tonight which I tried to incorporated a bit of everything and go outside my comfort zone. It still looks pretty simple to me. I will have to get Theresa's opinion on it tomorrow.

And now for the soapbox...I want to say do the crime pay the time. I am sick of hearing again and again that someone like Paris Hilton getting out of jail time free and clear. Put your big girl panties on and buck up!!! IF it was one of the little peons we couldn't do anything about it because we don't have our hands in the politicans pockets. Enough ranting and raving. God Bless and take care.
