My Mom (aka Grammy) is the BEST Grammy ever...or the craziest!! She took Nathan, Eldon, and Holly to the beach today. They looked so cute getting ready to go. 
All the essentials...hat, boogie boards, sand buckets...jez, how long are you going to be gone?
Good bye cutie pies...don't forget to put on some sunscreen!
Kelly, Doug, and their girls came over for dinner last night to celebrate their birthdays.
Food, jacuzzi, and wine...life is good!
Kenz and Nate in the pool.
The Birthday Beauty.
Then, we played games. It was a fun time...I'm tired today.
Kyle's had an All-Star game today and hit 2 homeruns. He is playing on 2 teams right now and has 4 or more games per week...that's a lot of baseball!! They were down by 10 runs today and came back to lose by 14-13...such an awesome game. All of the boys gave 100% and it was REALLY HOT. 
Larry (one of Kyle's biggest fans) and my cousin Matthew came to watch.
The post-game pep talk...these boys should be proud of the outstanding game that they played today.
Our boy...our baseball boy...
Nathan and his friend Blake went to Basketball Camp this week. They had a blast and were completely worn out at the end of each day! Nathan is usually 100% baseball, but he is a great basketball player. It was a great first week of summer!!
Nothing like it...these photos are for you Doug!!
This is the trunk of a car of a VERY BUSY boy!! Kyle is re-taking Geometry this summer. He started yesterday. He is also on the All-Star baseball team for our League and playing High School summer baseball. 
Paul was in my Pre-School class 14 years ago!! His Mom and I hit it off immediately and have kept a close friendship. His brother Andrew was also in my class, and his little brother Joshua is our GodChild!! I am so proud that Paul his grown up to be such a terrific person. We had fun at his party with all of the high school graduates! We had to sit at the grown-up table. I honored to have been a part of Paul's life.
To the best Father's I know...HAPPY FATHER DAY!!! I love you so much...thanks for being so fabulous role models for my Babies!!! 
Nathan wasn't born when we moved onto our old street with the Newbry family. We're blessed that they've been a part of our lives for 11+ years...they're more like family than friends. Hailey and her sister Kenzie are like the big sisters our boys never had. 
Are they cute, or what?? Jerry's Wood-Fired Dogs catered Hailey's Graduation Party. It was so yummy.
Hailey and her beautiful Grandma from Idaho. Many of their relatives came out for her graduation, I'm sure Idaho is missing them.
Darrell and Doug...uh, don't ask.
Oh, here they are...aren't they funny??
Here's Kelly. Um, I think she liked the dogs! Her birthday is on Friday. I think she is going to be 39ish.
Nathan's teachers. Lisa Reardon, on the left, is a dear friend. Her son, Zachary, and Kyle went to Kinder-Sixth grade together. Teresa O'Connell is on the right. They are both AWESOME teachers and both got their lay-off notices...something is wrong with this system...really wrong!! Thanks Mrs. Reardon and Mrs. O'Connell for challenging my baby everyday.
Last day picnic in the park. Nathan is the only one wearing yellow.
My "thinking" boy. I tell you, this boy thinks way beyond his years. Love him so much. 
Sweet Baby Riley entered the World on Friday. She is beautiful! 
Me doing what I love to do...
Mommy, Daddy (Darrell's brother), and the perfect new baby girl. Congratulations Gary and Becky...you did good!! 
These are all of my kids and one of my aides at one site. Notice how many more girls than boys...LOVE these kids.
A few of my kidlets at my other site. SO very cute and smart and sweet...
One of "my Mommy's" and "my kids." When I started back to work 4 years ago, this little princess was a baby and her brother was not born. I have watched this family grow...
Another terrific Mommy with her little girl. 
My newest baby Omar, and his big brother and Mommy.
When this little girl first came into my class the only English word she knew was "pizza." Now, she is having conversations in English and Spanish...amazing!
Nathan, Blake, Blake's Mom and Sister, and I went to see the movie "UP." I loved it!! The more I think about it...the more I like it. Go see it...it has a great message of loyalty and friendship. I want to see it again...go today...you won't be sorry!
