Just a quick post to show off our newest little grand baby!! He is truly ADORABLE!!!

My Birthday Surprise

There is a little peace of information one should know to truly understand the magnitude of this birthday treat: my husband and I are HORRIBLE about gifts...not gift giving, but gift "timing". We hardly ever (as a matter of fact, I can only think of one other time) keep it a secret what we are getting each other...not only do we not keep it a secret, we don't wait for the occasion to actually come upon us.

Ok, that is the "background". This birthday, I turned the big 40 and I couldn't be happier. I was "sickly" excited about turning 40, I really can't explain why.  That being said, there was only ONE thing I knew about my birthday this year: my husband was taking me out of town to an undisclosed location for three days. My neighbors watched our kids, I packed our bags, we climbed in the car and drove for I didn't know how long and didn't know where.  The "where" turned out to be the Mendocino Coast!! It was sooo beautiful!! Of course I am sharing some pictures of the beauty of it all, but OF COURSE, it does not do it justice...

Have a wonderfully blessed day....

For My Mom :0)

We were very busy with work at home this weekend, so although the menfolk DID make it up to the property this weekend, I did NOT, so , no pics from the property, but thought I would share a couple of fun pics anyway :0)

Pure silliness:

FUN FUN!! 

It has been six or seven months since I got to see my Mom last: it really stinks that we live sooooo far apart, but thank the Lord for modern technology and we can keep in touch nearly every day :0) I was going to show the pic with the three of us and she is wearing a tiara, but, I liked this one better. I really wish I could write more, but it is still unbelievably busy around here today...but:

I LOVE YOU MOM and I LOVE YOU SISTER!!!

Have a wonderfully blessed day!!
