Thought for the day

Not a lot of words to say today because I have been kinda busy but what I will say is that I love my family so much!  I don't get to see my brother as often as i would like but God has definitely blessed me with a great family.  

This picture was taken 2 years ago at Christmas.  Seriously, the jeans and those boots were not a good choice at all.  Fashion faux-pas for sure.

And that is all, gotta go start some errands around the house.

XOXOXO  :-)

Positive thought for the day

Awkward

Today, at Kelly's Korner,  there is a link in for awkward childhood photos or just awkward photos in general.  Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of childhood pictures so I am importing what we do have. The great 80's!  I so miss those years. 

This picture was the standard Olan Mills family picture.  My hairdo consisted of the ever so popular "dove wings" as my mother used to call them.  I think even my brother had dove wings…lol  I was the one in the front with the gap in between my front teeth.  My mother promised me that over time my gap would close up so not to worry about getting braces.  You know they never did close up and I had to get braces when I was 25!  :/

My sister and I in Middle School.  For some reason I looked so grumpy in this picture but this picture of the two of us just screams awkward.  ha!

And that is about it!  The braces and other typical awkward pictures did not come until later.  I loved my younger years though.  Brought up in a home filled with love and happiness. 

Smile!!

Who else can light up my heart like this boy?!  Love him to the moon and back!!

Swimming pools

On my mind today, POOLS!

Summer is almost here which makes me think of swimming pools!  Here are a few that I love!

For those who have inground pools, consider yourselves blessed!  :-)

New haircut!!

Okay, so I did it!  I chopped at least a good 4 - 5 inches off of my hair today and I love it!  Looks a lot healthier and less maintenance.  Which is going to be great for the summer. 

This picture reminds me of Diane Keaton for some reason.  I feel like I have taken on a more mature look.  ha!  

                                                        Couldn't be happier with it.

Now also, check out that sweater I am wearing.  It is so darn cute.  I bought it at a yardsale last week for a $1. I am in love with it!

Here's a different view so you can appreciate every angle of it.

The picture was taken this morning before my haircut.  Love this sweater!  It's faded glory brand so it must have been sold at Walmart.  I am so glad I found it!  

That's all today folks!  :-)

Life is better at the deck...

Ha!  We had such a great time at the Ocean Deck this weekend!!  The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we took full advantage of it.

First up here were some pictures over the last few days.

This is how we wait for his sister everyday after school.  Sitting in the window

Sue getting her award with her coach at the last game.  She was super embarrassed, no other kids had their picture taken with their coach.

At the Ocean Deck...

Me and my sister soaking up the sun.  The water was absolutely freezing!  

Sue and Crissy.  Wasn't sure if Sue might crack a smile in this pic.

Susan and her brother James.  James not looking so happy, cannot imagine why.  On the beach, playing football, swimming and hanging out about to sing karaoke.  What more can you ask for?
