July 10 was my 41st birthday and it was wonderful.
woke up to a breakfast of eggs Benedict, lovingly made by my family.
a bouquet of sunflowers. oh, i love sunflowers. unknowingly, rye put them in a vase, inherited from my grandma denbleyker. not only did i cry with joy from the flowers but i also cried because i miss my gram. she would have loved the though that this dear man bought me sunflowers for my birthday.
Post point for a picnic with my bff and our families.
then home for a make-shift game of baseball with my boys (um, i didn't play. it was my birthday. it's a rule, no exercise on my birthday.).
my favorite little brother,uncle B stops by to hang out.
hub makes me another cup of coffee,in the middle of the day. nice.
it was the perfect day.
the best way to start another year of this charmed life that i life.
dear boys, the letters D.A.N.G.E.R usually mean you probably shouldn't be climbing on anything near it.
thank you for being careful.
next time your mamas will stop talking long enough to make sure you stay FAR away from these signs.
thankfully, you have daddy's that can not only keep you safe but can also take pictures while mamas chat.
this is jacks 'pondering pose'.
sam's 'i've conquered the DANGER sign' pose.
attempting a group pose. um, boys on the right, pull it together.
thank you.
love you baby.
the flowers and the lovely vase (gram used it as a cookie jar).
gorgeous flower pot from my bff.
great action shot.
nice form maxwell.
hurdling.
hurdling X-2.
another awesome 'form' shot.
uncle B hitting and the boys retrieving. a friendly wave from our trusty border patrol.
Max gets in on the catchin!
my dad puts up netting, around his fruit trees so that the blasted birds don't eat his cherries.
sad day for this little guy.
lucky for him, 4 boys were kind enough to set him free.
that'll teach him.
