celebratin' 5...

turning 5 is kind of a big deal so much so talen had his very 1st friends from school party!

thank you sun for shining bright because we had ourselves a backyard obstacle course party...

and here is a walk through of our course...

did you make it through your walk-thru? 

 these kiddos did an awesome job through the course with their birthday buffs in place & war paint across their faces...

 photo booth fun...

much fun had by all, turning five is fun stuff!

and the night before the big friend's party we had a lil celebration with talen's grandparents and aunties...

 

 a special lil gift from auntie stace & bruce...a mini lop bunny!

stay tuned for her own blog posting...

 and that's a wrap celebrating 5 for talen! :)

forever young...

a special friend, a special family, a special wedding day that i'm very happy i was a part of...

a very close childhood friend this groom is with endless memories we have between him, myself, my sisters, his brother and our families together...

 i can honestly say it seems such a short time ago that we were spending our elementary school summers poolside ordering papa gino's pizza delivery for lunch & collecting baskets full of starfish on the beaches of cape cod...

 those memories i am very fond of and i'm very happy that we still have a special connection between us.  always, always, good times...

this mother-son dance really hit home with this mumma...

 they say boys love their moms & there was no doubt you could see the love between this boy & his mom that night...

forever young...

congratulations johnny to you & your family!  thank you for all that you have done for myself & my family throughout the years.  and with all the memories we have created, we sure will be forever young!  love you all...

champs...

well we now have our 1st little league baseball championship under our belts...

 so exciting and the best way to finish off a great season!

coach dad, ryman, and bat boy t-dawg put in a lot of time & effort together this year,

and made this mumma proud!

 dad was pacing around the fields prior to the start of the game as the team was calm as cucumbers...

ryley pulled through strong for his last game of the season, pitching all 6 innings and hitting another homerun over the fence!

way to go boys! 

now we're onto all-star cal ripken baseball for the summer...load up the bases Uxy!

(seems as though Coach Daddy Roz & Ry-Man are onto somthing this year...flag football champs...baseball champs...CHAMPIONS!)
