SUMMER 2012

these babies of mine have gotten so big...

These two make my heart melt, I hope they are always this close, so special.

                                    Tristen ran in the 4th of July parade and made us so proud!

                                      This is his "friend" Kylee who we just adore!

   Tanner lost his first tooth after MANY months of waiting! This is one proud and happy boy!!

                                       Thomas and his baby girl, these 2 are attached at the hip

                                         Boys went to a Tigers clinic with some buddies.

 My grumpy Tanman and I on the 4th of July. It was a long hot day for him and well, he is his mothers child so he doesn't fake his moods. He is still my lil lover.

 Now we KNOW what makes this kid happy...hanging with football players. Tristen and Thomas and some friends got to go to a Lions practice and meet some of the players. Yup, heaven for a 10 (and 37) year old.

And this is my new tatt that I love. Its a verse in a Counting Crows song that has been in my head for almost 20 years and I remember the exact moment when I fell in love with these words. I was in California with Julie and driving around and on Sunset Blvd.  I looked around and was thinking that I really needed to take these things in and remember them forever and the second I thought that these words came from the radio. So everytime anything happens that catches me in that AWE phase I say these words to myself...
