A Little Croc Bling

A little vacation school shopping and we found these for both GRANDs.

They LOVE them!

Of course I had to have a new pair Crocs too.

Happy Birthday To My Sweetheart

Happy Birthday to my Sweetheart today!

 Celebrating on the Black Raven Pirate Ship with the GRAND-daughters.

Celebrated with the rest of the family this past Sunday.

He is the Bestest Sweetheart, daddy, and Pop Pop, F.I.L. ever and a pretty good Son, S.I.L.., Brother, B.I.L. and Uncle Harry, too. I think we will keep him :)

He is a walking miracle.

I think he is even surprised that he has lived this long.

We thank the Lord daily for him and his life.

He is blessed.

We are more blessed.

Zoo To You

This is my Mellow Yellow Monday post.

You will find lots of yellow in these pictures

 but there is one that will stand out.

We have had some wonderful FREE programs at the library this summer.

On this day we had Wildlife Wonders, "Zoo To You" come to visit from North Georgia.

We got there early to get a good seat and we brought along

cousin Ammon who was here from Birmingham, AL. visiting Gma Griffis.

He was giving us the rules.

And then he started bringing out the animals.

This is a brown skunk.

I never knew they were brown.

I thought that they were all black.

A Brazilian Armadillo who never did show up for the party.

And this is my M.Y.M. picture.

A yellow Amazon Python.

I forgot what this is??
Want to take a guess?

An African Bullfrog

Lemur

And one of my favorites, this 3 week old porcupine.

Leah Quinn

 This is my talented niece, Leah Quinn Jacobs.

She is gorgeous and dramatic.

Leah is a singer, actress, hairstylist and cosmetologist

 who lives in the Salt Lake City area.

You may have seen her a play or two??

 I finally got around to taking her pictures.

We were suppose to take them in March when

she was here but she was way to busy.

We almost missed getting them again this visit.

This is what she looks like after driving home all day from

Disney World.

This is Leah with her mother Sue.

Sue is my SIL, the Sweetheart's older sister.

I love this picture of the both of them.
You would never know that we were getting
 eaten up by bird size Darien, GA. mosquitoes!

Barn Charm # 21

Again I'm not sure where in Ohio this is, just know it is off I-75 in the northern part of the state.

Joining Trish for "Barn Charm".

Color Me Happy

A summer camp is held Monday-Friday 10:00-1:00 at our local "paint your own pottery studio" called "Color Me Happy". Shelby was old enough to go this year and was excited that her cousin Madi was there too. They did pottery-painting, canvas painting, building with clay, glass fusing, sand art & tie dying a t-shirt!

By the smiles on their faces you can tell that they loved it!

This was about half way through her painting. It turned out really cute.

 

Reagan isn't old enough to go this year. But she loves to go to the public library which is just around the corner from Color Me Happy.

She has been infatuated with all the Christmas books and we've only checked out 7 already this summer. I'm sure there are more that we haven't gotten to yet. That day I read her 3 and we checked out 3 more all on Christmas.
 And Christmas will be here before we know it.

The top pictures have the yellow in them that I need to join Mellow Yellow Monday.

I Need A Road Trip

I need to go far enough and be gone long enough

 that I could send a few postcards!

Soon!

Real soon!

Can't believe that July is half over.

Already looking forward to cool fall weather.

Little Friends

K.P. these are the pictures I was telling you about.

Cute, cute!

Sweet Baby Boy

Waiting For Fireworks

This year we viewed the fireworks in old downtown Brunswick.

We got there over an hour early to get a good place.

We try and sit right at the edge of the parking lot so that

the Sweetheart can get right out and sit down

and no walking or tripping involved.

Of course it's a good time to take some family pictures.

 My GRAND, Shelby.

The weather was perfect, no smoke from the fires and the best breeze.
Everyone had such a great time.
Half way through the fireworks Shelby yells,
"This is the best day ever"!!
And it really was.
