Happy Birthday Todd!!

Just wanted to take a quick moment to wish my big brother a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!  I won't mention his age, will just say he'll always be older than me!  :)  I've spent my entire life looking up to him . . . ok I don't mean that literally, although that is also the case.  I mean that I admire and respect the guy.  He's a great husband, father, provider and friend.  I've always known that he had my back . . . we lived by the code "I won't tell on you, if you don't tell on me!"  So here's to you big brother.  In honor of your birthday I won't tell mom about the time you . . . oh that's right, we're still not telling that!!

The Vacation Glow

Wow I can hardly believe that I've been back from vacation for over two weeks.  All that anticipation, then all the fun, then the post vacation glow.  I've been trying desperately to hold onto that vacation glow, but it's starting to fade.  So in an effort to recapture a little bit of that, here's what we did. 

The week was sunny, these photos just happen to be from the last day when the clouds rolled in.  No matter, it was still great.

We woke up every morning to look out at this.  Rough I know, but we suffered through!

Then we'd head off to do some of this.  This is my view most of the day . . . following the men!!

Then we'd head home to do some of this.  Yummy cucumber drink that my niece Mackenzie introduced to the group!  Hmm does that make me old when my niece is introducing the new drinks.  Suggestion for next year, everyone comes with a new drink recipe and we'll try them all!

Then we'd sit on the porch and watch nature.  The big bird was not intimidated one little bit!

Or just watch the cloud formations.

Another successful vacation at the beach!!  Hope everyone had a much fun as I did.
