Happy Thomas

We went to one last Rangers game in September with friends of Mom and Dad and sat in the all you can eat seats in Home Run Porch. It was pretty fun. Still think I prefer sitting in other parts of the stadium where you can see the big screen.

Little Inventor

He spent all day working on his invention. He was so happy to get to test it out when he decided it was completed. And sure enough, he was able to make water go from the treehouse, down the spout and out into the yard.

You should also consider this the Cast Number 2 photo because somehow this is the only good shot I took of it during the two weeks he wore it. :-)

Work Day Collage...The Men

Even though Thomas had a broken arm, he wanted to help too...for about 5 minutes. :-) Then he went back to working on his invention.

Work Day Collage...The Ladies

We all had a lot of fun working in Grandma's house cleaning and making repairs where needed. We ladies, and I do mean ladies even though my collage says "working women" ;-), mostly cleaned, but we were busy all day both days doing it.

Work Day

Labor Day weekend we had a work day at my grandmother's house. It was a lot of fun getting the family together and working to fix things for this sweet lady.

And What Is This?

I got this plant and the previous one when my Aunt Cathy passed away. They're really pretty and I'd like to potentially keep them alive.

What Is This?

What kind of plant is this? And how do I not kill it? :-)

Jonathan Game, part 6

Me, "Oooohhh, it's in THAT hand!"

Jonathan giggled like crazy.

Me: "Ok, let's try this again. Is it the one in your left hand?"

Jonathan was so cute. He could hardly contain himself when he got me again!

Jonathan Game, part 4

Jonathan, "Ok, now let me mix it up."

Jonathan Game, part 3

Me: "Ok, I've got it. Is it the one over there on the left?"

Jonathan was so proud that I figured it out.

Jonathan Game, part 2

Me: "Hmmm, is it the one over there on the right?"

Jonathan was SO excited to fool me. Can you tell?

Jonathan Game, part 1

Jonathan, "What hand is it in?"

Father and Son

Mike and his youngest son, Palmer.

Golfing Family

I had fun playing with Mike, Dad, and Palmer. Wish two of them lived closer so we could do it more often!

Ant Snack

Here's the shot my brother requested. I took it on the golf course the day we played together. It was pretty wild seeing those fire ants swarm that cricket.

Thomas Cast Number 1

Here's a shot of Thomas' first green cast. He's had two other casts that maybe I'll post pics of soon.

Pretty Clouds

I took my camera to Lubbock with me when Thomas broke his arm. This is the only picture I took. I was loading up the car to come home on the last morning and saw these clouds nicely framed between the trees.

Saratoga Bike Rack

Forgot these photos of the boys playing on a bike rack in Saratoga Springs. Now I think the NY pics are all posted. Unless I get desperate and decide to post pics I initially rejected!

Slippin' and Slidin'

Pool Fun

This is the kind of pool fun we have at home. One day we'll have our own pool! For now, the boys had fun in this and the slip-n-slide.

Build A Buddies

Or should I say cousies? Either way, Build a Bear must have loved us coming in with four kiddos!

Jumping John, part 3

Jumping John, part 2

And I loved what it did to his hair!

Jumping John

Can you tell Jonathan had fun on the trampoline?

Jumping Palmer, part 2

Trampoline Fun

Lillies

As we passed these lillies, I couldn't resist trying to photograph them. Of course, the sun was out causing shadows and I had to hand hold the camera, but they still turned out ok.
