Sweet Summer Treat

What a wonderful summer treat. Last night we enjoyed strawberries and cool whip for dessert. Carter enjoyed it so much he cried when he finished his last bite! I can't wait for summer to be here for more great treats like this. Summer may be delayed a week or so, as the weatherman is now forecasting 3-4 inches of rain, topped off nicely with snow. Can we Minnesotan's EVER get a break?

Sweet Child O' Mine

Many of you already know of Carter's passion and knack for dancing. He will hear a tune and begin to dance before most even know music is playing. Bryan is convinced that this behavior is of my doing...and he's right. Carter and I dance every day. What an amazing gift to be physically able to dance with my little boy whenever I want to. Just another reason I thank God every day.

A new way of reading

Sometimes there are very simple moments in our life that we must take the time to appreciate and enjoy. These photos sum up one of these moments.
Bryan was reading a newspaper when Carter decided he wanted to read with his dad. Actually, he decided that the only way he could read with his dad was to sit perched upon his chest. I could have taken 20 photos, as this was too priceless. As you can also see, Scout did not want to miss anything good either.

Bon Jovi...ROUND TWO!

How lucky and fortunate am I to have been able to see Bon Jovi in concert TWICE in two months? To some, it may not sound appealing, but to those true fans that can appreciate the amazing music that Bon Jovi makes...I wish you could have been there.

By some strike of luck, Anne and I and Shayna were able to get floor tickets, 22 rows back from center stage. These were the most amazing seats. We were able to see Daughtry's wedding ring, we were that close! We traveled to Fargo, ND for this concert and it was worth every mile and every gallon of OVERPRICED gasoline.

No tattoos this time around, but memories that will surely last just as long!

Score ONE for the weatherman!

For once, the weatherman was right! We got 14 inches of snow on April 10-11th. What an ugly mess. As I write this today (I'm behind in blogging) it's 65 degrees and there is virtually no snow left.

I'm happy to see the snow is gone, but I also am sad to say I found a woodtick on Scout yesterday. I don't understand how those darn things can procreate, hatch and become a nuisance while there is still snow on the ground. I'm sure our Texas friends miss the 'ticks an awful lot. Katie, Jed and girls...I'll be sure to save a few for your visit in July, which I'm so excited for!

Enjoy this wonderful day the Lord has made!
