Finally photos!!!

Mixed...some from quite far back!! Lauren making red velvet cake, Natalie & Lauren at the KU game, Worlds of Fun. Hopefully I'll get better about this!

Cheeky Quote

I saw this in the cheeky quote spot on the blog...had to record it!!!
Why do men like intelligent women? Because opposites attract!!!

LOVE IT!!! Explains my weekend to a "t"

But, enough of that! We went to worlds of fun yesterday for just a minute, and we couldn't handle it. When you seek out all the water rides in an effort to stay cool...then you stand on the bridge over the Monsoon for repeated runs of it just to get soaked...I think it means it's just TOO HOT for ANYONE to be there!

Tyler finished up his state tournament today. They placed third...I know they were all exhausted! They did a good job despite the heat of the weekend! I do enjoy going to see him play, but honestly, TOO MUCH driving!!!

I haven't heard from Lauren in a few days, so that's frustrating. I have been trying to connect with them so we can get her Worlds of Fun pass to her, but no answers:( Hopefully her dad will just pay for her to go so she can be taking advantage of her summer!!!

Maybe when Dean gets back around he'll help me get some pics put over to the computer. Who knows? Hard to believe the weekend is already over...back to it again tomorrow!!!

What a night

I saw something tonight I have never seen before and I hope to never see again. Enough said on that one..anyone who was there knows the tale!!!
I tried transferring photos from my phone just to find I can't transfer them!! I'll give it another effort tomorrow.
Tyler took a hit right to the shin tonight...had a mega d-q moment...and made our way home. They did an awesome job tonight!!!
Natalie wants to have a girl's day out tomorrow with hair and nails...so I'm thinking along the lines of my hair/her nails!!!
I am so anxious for Lauren to come home!! Lots in the works for changes coming down our road, and I'm ready for her to be a part of it all!
Maybe I can get some help with the pics tomorrow-who knows!!

You know you're getting old when...

You start to agree with the old stories you hear from your parents and see how they can now apply to your own life. I will always remember my mother telling us she was in the car on her way back from a dentist appt when the news came over the radio that Kennedy had passed away. I always thought that seemed insignificant, at my young age hearing those stories I always wondered how or why you would remember the date/circumstances/place you were when someone not even related to you died. WELL...I remember where I was hearing that Princess Di(I know that is technically not proper) had passed, and we were at lunch in Iowa City watching her funeral. I will always remember being at school hearing about the Columbine shootings...and I was in a meeting at the bank when the World Trade Center towers fell..being in my Grandmother's kitchen on the phone with my mother and had to tell her my father had passed (by far THE most suck moment..sorry for the term) WELL...today will be another one. I will always remember my brother listening to beat it...and loving Farrah Fawcet because she made me think I could grow up to have beautiful hair!!! I wished when I was little that I could have her hair!!! Life is short..tragically, unpredictably short.

WOW...not such a graceful exit from the 20's!!!

I FEEL OLD tonight!!! My little brother (29 year old little bro) calls me tonight to ask how my "last hours" are going...what a dear!!! (Whatever) So tomorrow is it-yuck!!!
