She made a difference!

Kathleen Collins was the most incredible woman I have ever met. She was Ron's aunt, but more than that, she lit up a room and never said no. She would bend over backwards for anyone, especially her family, she was just so special. It was also 11 years ago today that we lost this amazing, beautiful woman. Aunt Kathy, you will FOREVER be in our hearts!! We love you!

Happy Birthday Heather!

On August 18th, 1997, we lost our sweet daughter, Heather Ann. This year is so bitter sweet as we send our last little baby off to Kindergarten. The house will be VERY empty next week when the kids go back to school. I just can't believe that they are all grown and there are no more babies at home. God has been so good to our family and we are just to thankful for the things in our lives.

I just want to share a little something with you. If it goes too fast to read the whole thing, feel free to click it on and read it page for page. My mom gave it to me last year on what would have been her 10th birthday.

Aren't They Adorable?

Sorry it's been so long since I've shown you my MOST ADORABLE nephews, but they came in to celebrate the 4th with us. Here are a few fun photos from their visit and a few photos from their visit to the Denver Zoo. Love you guys!!! Can't wait to see you again!

A New Toy!

We found these new underwater disco lights for the pool, but Ron and I found that if you turn the lights off, you can do some fun stuff with the camera. Check it out! hehehe, the fun things we can do when the kids are asleep!

Another Fun Concert!

John Mayer and Colbie Caillat!

We went down to Tinley Park for the concert and we were totally prepared for what we could and could not bring into the concert. No alcoholic beverages, no bottles, only soft-sided coolers or backpacks. Food must be contained in clear containers, SO WE GOT PREPARED!

VODKA WATERMELON!!! (no alcoholic BEVERAGES), unless you count the liquor in the CLEAR CONTAINER! HEHEHEHE

Vodka Watermelon and Bacardi Pineapples!! Still, no alcoholic BEVERAGES and they are in clear containers! YEAH!!! We also enjoyed injected Vodka Oranges (helps to go to a concert with a nurse, Thanks Celeste!!). Considering the beers there were $11.00 each, we did just fine without them.

Someone was being shy, but there is Celeste with the YUMMY oranges!

Thank you Celeste and Robb for coming along!

Kenny Chesney Concert - ROCKED!

Gone for a while, but hopefully not forgotten!!!

OH MAN, where have we been hiding???? I don't even know where to begin and I am assuming that all my blogging buddies have given up on me. Hopefully not too soon. The summer has been SOOO busy, I have started a new job and it has taken a lot of my time. Ron finished an unbelievable home that is just incredible, have a look if you'd like. Just click on the Pine Ridge link on the right! The kids have been keeping busy with their friends this summer, baseball season went from April 25th to July 9th (OMG). We haven't had a summer vacation yet, but that is still to come. I'm posting just a few pics for you to see. Hope you return to see how we've been! I promise I won't be such a stranger!
