Helper Dudes

We have a great group of Dudes, (as I call them), right now in Youth Ministry - wonderful girls too, but I didnt catch them cleaning up a recent all-church potluck like I did the guys.

So this one's for the guys!

I'm sure they'll all just LOVE being here on the blogeroo! :)

Because we all need some beautiful

And these fit the bill -

Ahhh Peonies...

When Little Boys Grab Your Cam...

... this is what you find:

mmm hmmm...

Memorable Memorial Day

This is one Memorial Day weekend I dont think I'll soon forget because it was so homeownery!

Friday I had a bunch of girlfriends over and a bonfire which included wood chopping!

Saturday I worked on a big yard project and accomplished it all on my own; pat on my sunburned back!  So farmerish of me!

First there was this:

Then this:

Now there's this!

Sunday I had nearly 50 people over!  We all sat out in the yard and ate, chatted, and played - very fun!

Monday was a parade and a little kid sitting

Not this kid, but she sure is cute!

Poor Bob the neighbor! So much activity and a managed to douse his deck with a rouge sprinkler!

New Mantra

I think it was always there, maybe just unspoken.

Ready to Ruuuuuuuun!

'I'm hoping for 8 minute miles' were my famous last words

I unfortunately did not exactly find myself on an 8 minute mile course 

But I did find myself at the Place to Discover Life at its Best

So it's allllll good :)

Jojo and me are Born and Raced in Michigan

 Verwys' are ready to run and walk or attack dad I suppose...

Yay!  Who loves Lake Ann?!  

Congratulations to Matt and Kayla (both on the left above) for winning!

The first of many great runs I'm sure!

Seedlings

I had such plant success earlier this year with my tulips I'm trying my hand at seeds!  The packets were sitting, (cluttering), on my counter, so I thought, eh let's go for it!

Sooooo..here they are

Zinnias, which I expect to be long, leggy, and weird looking.  Morning glory, which I expect to be creeping all over the joint, and a bunch of herbs, which I'll probably never use!

Cross your fingers!
