Here are a few of my "pins" on pinterest. I love that place...

Wish I had a gate like this...and look at the cute masion jar with flowers- how easy & simple that would be???

This is Tanner (#30) & one of his best friends, 7 years ago, when they were 7 years old. Their first year of football together - and they have played on the same team ever since. They are both starting their freshman year at different schools & different football teams. It is the end of an era...and it makes me really sad.

Everyone’s journey is designed for them. I have my own. Stop wishing for a new route  because this one was designed for me.
A quote from Ashley from Not Without Salt

I read her blog from time to time - she always has beautiful pictures, yummy food, etc.  Today she wrote a few things she learned this week.  This quote just spoke to me for some reason, I have been having a bad week (but only in the conversations in my head...)

Haven't felt much like blogging...no one reads it anyway, so really, what's the point? This girl got braces on Monday- so now I have three in braces...yippee! (ya, not so much). She finally got feathers in her hair - she has been wanting those for a few months. Need to take a picture of it.

We celebrated our 17 year anniversary- went to Ruth's Chris Steak House with a gift card we got last year. (this isn't the picture from there). It was pretty good food- my favorite was their green beans- oh.my.gosh. they were delicious. Their Raymond Cab wasn't so bad either ;). Mark's lobster wasn't cooked all the way though...yuck.

This kid just makes me laugh so I needed to put this picture in...too bad the picture is fuzzy and my face is too round!- I think Riley took it.

summer is going way too fast...

Hoover Linx

I love this thing- it is cordless, battery operated and it cleans up our hardwood floors much better than a broom!  Thanks Mom!
