Isn't this cake pretty?

Day 146

These are my very good friends, Tom and Margie.

Dick and I were lucky enough to celebrate their 25th anniversay with them last night.

They are some of the best friends you could ever ask for.

They are also the perfect example of what marriage should be.

I love them like family.

They are that special.

Day 145

It's not the best picture because I took it through the window,

but we have two baby robins outside preschool.

They are pretty hard to see because of the leaves, but here is one of them.

Day 144

On Saturday, my adorable first grandbaby turned 5!

I can't even believe time has gone by so fast.

I think you can see by the smile on her face that she was just a little happy to get the Rapunzel dress and wig. She looked so cute!

Day 143

It was the most awesome day!!

Not only did I get to work out with Allison Sweeney from Biggest Loser and Days of our Lives, but I got to talk to her and have my picture taken with her.

Like I said.....

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Day 142

This kind of makes it really official.

I've been writing for www.shrinkingjeans.net since January,

but today I have my first press event.

I am going to Chicago to cover the Self magazine Workout in the Park event.

I am really excited!

Day 141

There are so many leaves now, you can barely see mommy robin.

I'm afraid that by the time the eggs hatch,

I won't be able to see the chicks.

Day 140

Do you think the iris get tired of being wet and cold?

I sure do!!

Day 139

I am having a really hard time dealing with the fact that my sweet adorable firstborn grand baby is going to be 5 on Saturday. Where did that time go?

Day 138

My baby is a college graduate!!

I couldn't be more proud of her.

Day 137

And now you get to see Bob Seger up close and personal.

He hasn''t aged well, but he sure still sounds the same

and that was awesome!!

Day 136

We went to the Bob Seger concert last night.

He is still awesome.

Still the same.

Day 135

It's a two picture day. I just couldn't pick between them.

Nick and Natalie went to their first father daughter dance at school last night.

They stopped over on their way there for a few pictures.

How could I possibly pick between too funny and too cute?

Hope you like them.

Day 134

My two favorite guys!

Day 130

Yes, I admit it. I'm a big dork.

I get excited with dumb things like this.
