Warm and Sunny

Memorial Day weekend is the kick off to summer. What a beautiful Saturday it is! I've not had a Sat. off of work in over three months-so glad I took this one off. It's warm, sunny and gorgeous outside...and the pool opens today...and we're grilling out...and visiting with family...Yee Haw!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend. Drink lots of lemonade, eat yummy burgers and hot dogs and laugh entirely to much!

And wear your sunscreen. :)

Here's the Reason

It seems that most of my blog posts, scrapbook layouts, Facebook status, etc., are always about Doug, the dogs, Devony or 'Yours Truly'. There IS another member of the family. His name is Clay. He's our son.


Many of you may not know about him. Here's why...

1. He's super-quiet. Spends a lot of time in his immaculate room listening to music.
2. He's a computer geek; always in front of the PC. I have a great many pics of the back of his head and the computer screen! We encourage this. He will probably be our meal ticket when Doug and I get old.
   
3. Metro-sexual!! He can't be bothered with non-sense like playing around or rough-housing. He might get dirty. Or wrinkle his nicely ironed shirt. (that must be purchased at Pac Sun)
4. His hair is longer than Devony's and he takes great pride in it. Therefore, after all the grooming, there is not a lot of extra time to spend with the family. you can admire that hair in the afore mentioned photos in reason #2.
5. He's very popular with the ladies. His cell phone is 'blowin up' at all times, day-or-night! All that primping pays ;)
6. He's cool...
   
7. ...so cool that, well, I don't really know where to begin or end with that.
8. He's 13. There, that's the beginning and end of his coolness!
9. He spends a great deal of time irritating his sister and freaking me out with claims of playing that barbarous sport of football next year. Apparently he's one of the fastest runners in his class and the football coach has took notice of that. Dang that stupid coach for being observant.
10. Hates having his picture taken. Which just kills me. I'm a scrapbooker which means I take pictures of EVERYTHING!! I once made a layout that had a pic of Devs closet and alllll the t-shirts she has. she loves tees with silly sayings on them.

Sunday morning before church I was snapping pics like crazy. Devony was being baptized that morning so I was already on a photo taking high. After about 10 surprise tries for getting Clays picture taken, the best one was of him and the chocolate milk glass in his face. Darn that boy. :)

P.S.

I don't know where those 'flower bullets' came from. It's suposed to be #1-#10.

Rain and Shine

I LOVE Thunderstorms. There's so much electricity in the air! I'm always energetic and very creative on days like this. And from what the forecast says, it's going to be like this most of today and tomorrow. Sounds like I will...er...should get a lot accomplished. ;)

It needs to quit raining soon though. I really want to finish planting my flowers. Hey, at least I don't have to water. Right?! Of course these poor plants look like their about to drown. I might not need to water but I should probably drain.
