Amazing journey

This past fall, we had the rare privilege

of watching Baby Sea Turtles hatch

and make their incredible journey

into the sea.

The mother Sea Turtle will lay her eggs

in the same spot every year.

Amazingly the Sea Turtles will

return to the same spot when

they are ready to lay their eggs.

It was rough going making their way to the water

and past the waves, but they instinctively

seem to know where to go and what to do.

It was such a neat thing to watch.

A beautiful sunset to end the day.

Ahhh...

Sweet...

Taylor's Birthday weekend

this past April.

Trip to Mexico for the weekend.
We got a few toots.

Lots of fun in the ocean.

Awesome card from Uncle Brian, Heidi

Aspen, Carson & David.

Lots of exciting thing

to come for Taylor this year,

driving, first job,

girlfriends...!

Oh boy!!

Celebrations

Logan turned 5 in January.

We took the Light Rail to Encanto Park.

Don't the kids look thrilled - hee hee.

The picture of Logan in the helicopter

made us all laugh so hard.

He gave us a courtesy smile on his way

around, but didn't really enjoy it.

That was his last ride.

Logan requested a Motorcycle cake.

Turned out so cute.

(if I don't say so myself....)

Make a wish...

His favorite gift.

Oh no she didn't...

Oh yes she did...

Cracked open a big bottle

of Red from Costco.

Not bad I might add and only $10.

I hate to drink on a Tues. night,

alone no less,

but it's been a long day.

Spent most of the day working on

the computer.

D has been gone for over a

week, so needless to say, I am ready

for a break - or at least a

glass of wine for now!

Recipe

I used a store bought pie crust,

and sprinkled with about 1 tbl. raw sugar

before baking.

Memories...

Today is my Dad's Birthday.

He would have been 74 today.

This is my favorite

old photo of him.

He looks so handsome

in that suit.

Today I will make a peach dessert,

in his honor.

Peach Pie was his favorite.

As kids, we really didn't care for

Peach Pie, but now it holds a

special place in my heart.

Love you Dad & miss you!

My Dad built this beautiful

armoire.

I will treasure it always.

Thanks Dad!
