Where Do I Begin?

Well hello there!

I'm not even sure where to start.

Let's see I'll start with this.....

I love to blog.

Yep, but have become terrible at it.

Its so easy just to jump on FB

and type out a verse or small update 

and move on.

The blog takes longer but is SO worth it!

Let me begin here

with a few pictures.....

That's a good place to start right?

Well our Sir Cuteness is in California

right now with mama and her family 

on vacation.

This is the longest we have been apart 

practically since he was born.

But he is having a fabulous time!!

He saw the ocean for the first time yesterday,

and he is going to Disneyland this week.

He.can't.wait.

Mickey, Minnie, Olaf

heehee

He is MOST excited to see Olaf.

Oh I hope he is wandering about

with his flurry cloud above his head =)

This was taken the night before Sir Cuteness left

on the big ole Jet Plane.

We went to TGIFriday's with 

Eric, Erin and their loves.

Yes my granddaughter Miss Lady Sweetness herself.

Here she is in all her pink bowness.  

Yes it is a spectacular and it appears.

 And here she is with brother,

who incidentally was leaving the next

day to go with his grandparents to Florida for a week.

He will be gone the same time Sir Cuteness

will be, but at opposite ends of the country.

Then it was time for Glow Golf.

How fun.

Well I didn't actually play.

No sir, I VERY happily agreed to watch

this princess.

Oh.my.golly.

Look at that hair.

I mean seriously.

The cuteness.

She is a doll.

A.doll.

Ant then Friday morning I woke up 

early and watched this babe sleeping for a bit.

Yes he was leaving later in the day,

but for now, 

my heart was resting in this moment.

I love him so!!!

Then it was off to play tennis.

'nuff said.

Oh how I love him!!

Have I mentioned that?

I just LOVE this pic.

The boys are watching a video of 

Sir Cuteness hanging from a rope.

hahaha

He did really good.

Held on for almost a minute.

That's big stuff for a five year old.

Here is Sir Cuteness and Hailey

on the plane.

He loved it!!

And then he fell asleep =)

Ok so this seems silly,

but I went to get my face done 

yesterday because I have a new friend

from church that sells Mary Kay and

she was having an event,

so I went.

I loved it!!

She has such a story.

A beautiful, God-filled, story.

Here is my eye.

Not a part of her story,

but so a part of mine.

This is the one that has been infected.

Looking back to normal

and way prettier than normal.

I am not good at make up.

I just wear it.

Does that make sense?

Well, now I feel better at it.

YAY!!

anyway....

And here I am donning my Huskers hat.

Is it football season yet?

I love y'all!!

Please tell me I will get back into regular blogging?

I sure hope so.

Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day ~~ 

BOOM ~~ BOOM ~~ BOOM!!! Fun on the Fourth of July!!

I hope you all had a fun, safe and Blessed 4th of July.

I really love the 4th of July.  It is my fav summer holiday.

It is always full of family, friends and food.

3 of my most favorite things!!

******

This pretty girl came and shared in the rivarly and fun with us.

Here she is playing Rummy with mom.

These two crack.me.up.

 And speaking of my beautiful mother,

here she is playing Rummy with Alyssa.

These two have SO much fun together.

Mom is feeling better.  That is some much needed good news for us.

 2 of my favorite people on the planet!!

 Sir Cuteness and I hanging out.....

 As only we can.....   =)
(LOVE this pic!!!)

 Sir Cuteness, Georgia and I

Yesterday was G's birthday.

We had SO much fun!!!

I missed her b-day party with her family because my car messed up yesterday morning while I was out, so my Mr. Winslow had to fix it when he got home, but it was an easy fix....YAY!!

Sorry I missed your party G ~~ but thanks for coming over and sharing the 4th of July fun with us!!!

 Cute Alyssa..... real cute =)

 G doing her thing on the grill.....

Chase getting his fireworks on.....

And Sir Cuteness, being....well, cute!!!  =)

 So why is Alyssa so happy?!!

Yep, she's beating Grandma (mom) at Rummy!!

It doesn't happen often, so enjoy Alyssa!!!

 Some of our delicious yumminess.....

 Burgers and dogs.....

 And Vegan Burgers for me and Alyssa, because that is the way we roll =) 

*****

 And some chicky.....

 And then on to some firework fun.....

 This picture cracks.me.up. 

I crack.me.up.

Never take yourself too seriously.

Hahahahah.....

 Our beautiful G.....

 It makes me laugh out loud that my 71 (almost 72) year old mother still shoots off fireworks.

At least a little bit. 

Her Asthma finally got the better of her and she had to go in and take her medicine,

but she sure had fun.

And what cracks me up about this pic, is that when my mom was looking at it last night, she immediately said, "Oh my mom would be having a fit with my legs wide open.  She was always saying, 'Christine, put your legs together and sit like a lady.'"  This makes me smile. 

My Grandma Lawson passed away the year before I was born and my mom still talks about Grandma all the time.  She tells me delightful stories about Grandma and Grandpa (they died together in a car accident).  My mom REALLY misses them, even now.  I love that about my mom.  She keeps their memories and heritage alive.  She says that my Grandma would have just LOVED me so much and my creative side.  Everytime I show mom something I've made she almost always says, "You and your Grandma would have just LOVED each other."  I love it!!!

 Hahahahahaha ~~ I am SUCH a chicken =)

 Rock right on pretty mama ~~ Rock right on!!!

 G you are too funny.....

 Bac-Bac-Bac ~~ see, chicken =)  .....

 Hahaha.....  You are so silly .....

 Our neighborhood did it up right this 4th of July.

There was some people who spent LOTS O' MONEY on a bang.

Not us.  I think I spent about $8 and we had LOADS of fun.

And Chase spent about $18 and had LOADS and LOADS of fun!!

 My man and Sir Cuteness having fun!!

*****

 BOOM BABY!!!!! 

Brought to you by our neighbors =)

And there you have it ~~ our Fourth of July fun!!!

We had the best time.

And what is missing from this post?

Yes pics of Dak, because he worked yesterday, got off at 5:00 PM, came in for about 15 minutes and was off to a friends.  

I was just happy I got to see him for those few minutes. 

I'll take what I can get =)

*****

Today Sir Cuteness and I are taking it easy.  We are SO tired from all that fun  =)

Hope your Fourth was fun and FULL of memories!!!

Love you so ~~
