A day at the beach always makes me.....happy! The water lapping the shore, the cool summer breeze, birds calling out to each other.....it's just magnificent and I get the opportunity to share in all of it.
Our Birthday Boy sure had a great time at his party! You only turn 4 once, and he had a blast! 
London's 4th birthday was on Saturday. We had a big party for him with cake, ice cream and TONS of presents! He had a great time.......some people say he's spoiled, but I say he's just really, really loved!!!
My little man is so photogenic! He cracks me up! I just love taking pictures of him doing the goofiest things! What memories we are making together!
I can't believe some of the cute faces London makes at the camera! He's just downright adorable and an absolute ham! He had such a good time at Fort Flagler and loves the beach!
We had a nice time for our anniversary trip. It's always nice to get away from reality for a while and play tourist! This deer was so pretty just sitting by the side of the road just waiting for me to take a picture. I love deer - even after I hit one with my car (it ran out in front of me) 3 years ago I still love them. They are very pretty creatures. I wish we were still on vacation.....but we have to come back to reality at some point! 
I've been seriously having some moments of self reflection....am I good mother, wife...fill in the blank. I've decided to have some photos taken of myself and then scrapbook them into my little self reflection collage of pages. Maybe it's a little vain of me to do so....but I thought it would be good scrapbook material. 
London and Jili went on a treasure hunt in Uncle Jim's backyard! What fun! Their "loot" consisted of candy, and toys in a tin container buried in a hole - oh, to be a kid again! They had such fun together those two!
This is only the 2nd time that London has met his cousin Jilienne. They quickly bonded with each other though and had a great time together. London calls her "my Jili" - he's very smitten by his cousin! I'm glad they had such a great time and look forward to the next time they are able to see each other.
I just cannot believe it! My Uncle gave us this new laptop and I still cannot believe it! I've wanted one of these for ages! He said it was a belated wedding present - yeah, try 15 years belatd! (My hubby and I celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary in a few days!) So, I know it's probably ridiculous......but I just HAD to scrapbook it and share on my blog! What a silly-silly am I? 
We went to see my Dad a couple of days ago.....I just love visiting with my Dad. Especially now that he's not an alcoholic - our visits are much more enjoyable. And oh my gosh.....how he loves being a Grandpa! He loves London like you wouldn't believe! London is finally getting comfortable around "his Papa" (as he calls him) and sat on Papa's lap and gave lovies (hugs). What treasured memories to have of the two of them together. I took other pictures too but will have to scrapbook them later. We've had a whirlwind of company come into town and I've not had a moment to hardly do anything at home - between going down to my Dad's and visiting with company. We've just been very busy! But, I'm thankful to be able to see my family - especially when I don't get the opportunity to see them in person very often. Sure, I can talk on the phone but it just isn't the same. My family is pretty special and I love them very much....
What a cute pose! He loves his swimming pool and gets in it as often as possible! I can't believe how much he's grown. My little cutie!
