Just a few snapshots of my oldest and youngest boys,,, They are similar in many ways...lots of energy and stubborn as heck!!!

Home again

Whew its been a busy month. Lots of camping and baseball. Camping was great... Relaxing for the most part, and new memories created. I feel at ease camping, there is not too much to worry about. Only keeping the peace among the kids...No laundry and cleaning. You get up when you want and go to bed when you want. The kids are fancy and free, biking, playing and having smores LOL... I am glad that we have our trailer...... One morebig trip to Idaho next week, and I am looking forward to a new place and new adventures...

One another note baseball is done! It has been a long season , since April... The twins managed to win Silver, for the Alberta Provinicals, not too shabby!!! Now a few weeks off and hockey begins !!! Pictures to come if I ever load the new software for my new camera.....

Peaceful

I came acrross this picture and it just made me stare. It gave me a feeling of peace and calm. I wish I was talented like the artist who created it.. It's just beautiful.

Summer...Family Style

Whew it has been a busy last few weeks here in Red Deer. I have had a lot of family here and we have been busy with all the visiting. It will kind of come to a halt, with the departure of my sister and her 2 girls. Tomorrow they are headed back to Texas. I will miss them dearly..it has been a great July!

I am off to camp for a week and am looking forward to the SUN and the Sea-doo!!! That is if the sun actually stays out for more than 10minutes.... ALberta weather is like this "CUSHIONS OUT------CUSHIONS IN!"

Me... you.... who?

Odd man out,

Never good enough,

Never smart enough,

Belittled.

Dont measure up,

Confidence is deminishing,

Looks failing me,

Nervous.

Afraid to be noticed,

Wanting to be noticed,

Mind is wandering,

Confused.

The black sheep,

Alone in a crowd,

Lonely at home,

Empty.

Searching for answers,

Faith is tested,

Where to turn,

Help.

Tomorrow another day

Happiness shine in,

Hope for something,

Smile.

what is real?

..". to stay, when all you really want is to go far far away....

to cherish memories forever encrusted in your soul....

to build in your mind the picture of what could have been....

to treasure the traces of that single kiss that was never meant to be....

to dream.... to wait.... to hope.

Is it Love?"

(A beautiful poem,,,that I can relate too)
