Happy 4th of July!

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

Project 365....day 183

"O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!



America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Project 365...day 170

Day one hundred seventy. Happy Fathers Day to all the wonderful, caring, amazing fathers out there; especially my dad, my step dad, and most of all, my SPECTACULAR husband Bob. He is always there, picking up slack and juggling balls to help me in so many different little ways.

On fathers day, I had to work, and at the start of my day I had no idea what time I'd get home....if it would be in time for dinner, or to even really SEE my little humans before bedtime. Instead, I was out mid-afternoon, and we had a wonderful dinner and then treated the husband to his fishing license for the year, and spent the evening by the pond.

Project 365....day 150

Day 150. One day before my new camera was scheduled to arrive. It was also Memorial Day. We went 'parading' *as said by my girl-child; Amelia-mazing* Thomas sat and LOVED the parade.....



LOVED the parade, that is, until the firetrucks came along!

Project 365....day 94

Happy Easter, everyone! I hope everyone had as wonderful a day today as I did! ♥ We started out early this morning, when Toes climbed into our bed at about quarter till 7. From there, he proceeded to pat my face and tell me that the Easter Beagle had come and the baskets were on the table. He woke up Amelia....or at least, he tried. Needless to say she sent him back crying because she refused to move. Once I went in and explained that the Easter Beagle had come, it was time for the fun! After checking out their baskets and putting on their brand new princess and car's socks respectively, we hunted eggs. Finally, there were only 2 eggs left, and we couldn't find them....after checking the Easter Beagle's note, we headed out to the porch to find........................BUNNIES!!! Yes, you read that correctly, both little humans got an 8 week old baby bunny from the Easter Beagle. With that said, I will say one more time....Hoppy Easter, everyone!

Toes and his tiny baby bunny, Cherry.

Project 365....day 93

Ok, so I'm still a day behind here, but these are my pictures from yesterday. We had a great time coloring eggs and preparing for the arrival of the Easter Beagle ♥ I am blessed and lucky to have such a beautiful, lively, spirited family to share this with.

I think you'll all agree that our eggs were 'egg-celent' this year!
