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!)

five...

five years old for talen yesterday...

 happy birthday to you talen william!

this boy was thrilled with a bucket full of sporting goods of course...wouldn't have it any other way!

the golden ticket...his very own catcher's glove of his size that daddy and ryley picked up for him

after presents and breakfast we were off to new hampshire for ryley's baseball game...

then we took a ride to york for lunch, played on the beach, some arcade games, and

brown's icecream!

 

and then we came home for some #5 birthday cupcakes...

 talen made it VERY clear he did not want ANY help blowing out his candles from mr. blakie-blake!

best of birthday wishes to you, love you bud!
