That one of Zach looks like a headless spiderman, teehee.

I can’t wait to do all sorts of fun things with them, It’s so great having them here!

Another one to add to my favorites

So bugs make me uncomfortable, not that I am afraid of them, we just don’t get along very well.  But whenever I see them I try to get in close to take a picture of them.  Call me a masochist.

This little guy wasn’t too bad, he kept spinning around.  I honestly think he had an itch and he was trying to reach it.

I really like this next picture.  I took it blind, holding the camera down at ground level and shooting up.  When I looked at the picture on the camera I was very pleased.  It’s my new wallpaper.

James liked the second one I tool better.  Which do you like?

I’m so excited

Two of my favorite people in the whole wide world, whom I haven’t seen in over six months are coming to town.  I can’t wait!

This is his I’m very serious face.

 

Be very quiet, she’s hiding.

These are a few of my favorite things

I made myself a photo book at work today. It was a lot of fun to go back through my pictures and pick out twenty of my very favorites. It’s neat to see how much my style has changed yet how it is still the exact same.

Fireworks!

I had forgotten about the fireworks tonight, that is until I heard a loud boom outside the apartment. When I went outside I saw we had a perfect view of the action straight down our street. Unexpected surprises are always great!

Who doesn’t love a parade?

Tonight we went to the Middleburg parade, I love parades! They throw candy at me!And I do mean at me, One little kid threw a line drive that got me right in the tummy.

Here are some more pics from the night.

I know it’s alot of pictures, but I liked them. Don't forget, if you want to see it bigger, just click it.

In Memory of

My grandma passed away a year ago. I’m sure that everyone thinks their grandma is pretty special, but I have to argue that mine was one of the best. Now Grandma wasn’t your typical grandma, I don’t remember her ever baking cookies and her house was far from immaculate, but she had other things going for her. She cared so much for people. Every time you went to her house she would have something she picked up for you from a garage sale. She LOVED her garage sales and was always thinking of you, always keeping an eye out for that perfect find. Whenever I see a garage sale, I still think of her and smile, because she would be smiling too.

Grandma was always fun to be around. For a few years we had a nice tradition of Friday night dinners at a local restaurant. There was a big group of us and we just had a good time spending time together.

She was up for anything her grandkids would ask of her. In her late 60’s she was willing to ride the roller coasters with us and if I asked her to put on a mask so I could take a picture she would play the part.

She lived a very full life and I’m so grateful to have had her.

If you have a memory of Becky, please share it in the comments. I'd love to hear it.
