summer thus far....

first things first.... 

HAPPY SUMMER!

This was me in the airport on my way to Florida a mere hour after taking my last nursing final of the quarter!!!! I deserved that drink :o)

This is my childhood best friend... isn't she gorgeous!!!!! I love you Ali!!!

silly girls...

what a lovely family we are!!!

after Florida... Sam would not leave my side...

Bella and I had plenty of cuddle time too...

meet the newest addition to our family...

after its first trip out...

*for the record... this is a one-seater. This is Jesse's toy!*

I've been on a flower kick...

this was my first car load!

and then the second....

on Saturday, I got to see my cousins on the family farm!

we rode on zero-turn mowers and shot clay pigeons! FUN!!!!

you should be scared!

I can't resist putting a picture of my sweet Bella somewhere in here... 

isn't she the most beautiful beagle ever?!?!?!

some of my flowers... more pictures to come.

I've been cleaning up the yard; pulling weeds, trimming trees... 

13 garbage bags worth... my poor lil' fingers and back :o(

I can't tell you how much better it looks!!!!

***

that's all I have for tonight.

tomorrow is my first day back at work after 3 weeks... 

gotta get back in the swing of things...

then get ready for my Mom to come visit over the holiday!!!!

love you to all....  MUAH!
