Just for me!

Bethany fixed me Breakfast in Bed for Mother's Day and Brett prepared dinner for us last Saturday (since he was in route to Colorado on Mother's Day). He fixed Tomato Basil Chicken, braised asparagus, and Five Cheese Tortellini Soup. It was absolutely delicious! P.S. Our children have such amazing culinary skills!

She's off . . .

Bethany left this morning at 5:30 for J. H. Ranch for the summer.   If she accumulates ONE MORE item while there, she is gonna have to WEAR IT HOME because her luggage did not have one inch of space left!

(Bethany - if you get to view the BLOG - we know you will have a great time, but we will miss you.  Dad is already counting down the days!)

Belated Birthday Lunch!

After church, we met Brett for a belated "birthday lunch" at Vince's restaurant (The Sawmeal) in Brent. Vince & Vickie also got to join us, so that was a nice surprise.

"Thank You" Vince & Vickie for a great lunch and the time we got to spend with you too (especially since we don't get to see you as much).

this is neat.

23 years ago today . . . May 22 . . .

. . . we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT ~

we love you,

Dad, Mom & Bethany

School's Out!

Whooooooo-Hooooooooo!
This is it, the last day of school. (0 days left photo - compliments of my little friend Lilly)

bargain bonanza

so at the end of every week at JH ranch, they have a rodeo/banquet thing for the campers. So i'm gonna need a rodeo dress for all the western activities as well as for all the western skits we do during in the week. well, i've been looking for a few weeks now and i've found one at a thrift store but i knew there was a much cuter one out there to find. well this past weekend i found out it. me and mom were thrift storing and this one was my #1 thrift store find of the century. it was regular $8.99 but it was on sale for $5.99. it was definitely a bargain and it was definitely made for me because it fit me perfectly, other than the fact it was a little big in the waste which i fixed easily with a nice little belt. yeehaw ya'll.

Mother's Day!

Breakfast in Bed!

I awoke to a fabulous breakfast.

Bethany prepared French Toast,

hot syrup, sausages (in the shape of an "M" for Mom),

milk, and orange juice and served me in bed.

Flowers on my tray

After church we went to Iguana Grill for lunch.

Thank you Bethany for a fabulous breakfast!

(Since Brett left after graduation to go to Colorado for a vacation,

we will be celebrating Mother's Day next weekend when he returns home.)

War Eagle!
