Thanksgiving Day was a lovely, relaxing day spent with my parent's and my in-laws, tons of good food and great company!!!! Too bad it always goes by so quickly...........

Mmmmmm..... Turkey! One of my favorites! Jordan of course, doesn't like Turkey OR potatoes OR stuffing, so he was just as happy with the old standby - Bologna!

Now that all the eating is done, these boy's are looking a little sleepy...

My Mom, Dad, Joann and Eric (below)

A few of my remaining flower's that are hanging in there....

And the last day of Summer is here......................This bee doesn't really seem to know.........

Reluctantly the Summer goes; the crimson radiance of the rose is ashen in the garden-close....

AHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh..... The many faces of SOPHIE!!!!!

Getting ready to go back to school.................................................two totally different ends of the spectrum here with Allen and Jordan! One is excited about new shoes and going back to see his friends, the other is dreading school but excited to be one step closer to a "grown up".....

I think a little prisoner has hi-jacked my camera -- AGAIN! (there are about 20 more photos of I-Carly on my camera!) It always makes me laugh when I discover these little surprises...

AUGUST -- OMG, It's HOT! Nothing better than SWIMMING and playin'!

JULY at Lake Stockton (the prettiest lake in Missouri, hand's down!)

Allen & Tyler on the tube, Scott hauled them all over the lake...

Jordan's favorite spot on the lake "The Rock"..... a beautiful day!

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY ALLEN!

It's hard for me to believe that my "baby" is 18! The time goes by so quickly... sniff!
