Hello, and Happy Friday, my friends! Although summer doesn't officially begin for a few weeks, June 1 will always be summer to me. This week was short but long. Memorial Day seems like forever ago, but yet it's Friday already? That is one of those things I won't ever understand, so I don't even try. Like when you drive past a mountain filled with trees, and you stop to think, if there are that many trees right here, how many could there be in the whole world? And when you sit on the shore and see nothing but water stretching out before you and wonder how big the ocean really is and why the months now pass significantly faster than when you were a junior in high school sitting in Physics class on a Wednesday in January? Anyway, here are some recent pictures from my camera roll to finish off the month of May.
My firstborn and I at Nico's birthday party...
My bestie Heather and her husband Dave came to visit this week!
We visited a spa, went to a tea, and sat on the beach. And it was good.
Meanwhile, Nicolas and Flynn played mini golf, rode bumper boats, and went on a bird-watching hike. Or, as I like to say, enjoyed Eighth Grade Field Trip Day.
The beach is good for the soul.
And in "We are still celebrating birthdays" news...
Today is Peyton Rose's twenty-fourth birthday! My second little bundle of joy is celebrating her birthday today! If you ask me what I did last week, I wouldn't remember, but I remember these moments quite well!
Peyton is a blessing to each member of our family in a unique and special way. She has smiled since that first one; she finds joy in cooking, baking, and serving others; she loves animals, the outdoors, camping, and all things holiday! She also loves her new car.
But she loves sharing her life with her Christopher most of all!
Today marks the first birthday we aren't together, but we celebrated last weekend, and Steve was sure to put candles on her dinner plate!
Happy Birthday, Peyton Rose!
And happy weekend to you, my friends.
Enjoy!
Billie Jo
Happy Birthday to Peyton! So many delightful pictures of her through the years. Her new car is very cool. The spread at the tea house looks Yummy. And that is a cute picture of you and Madison. I know what you mean, there are many things out there that are a wonder to me too, and your words made me smile. Sounds like Flynn is having fun on her Summer break.
ReplyDeleteWishing you beautiful June days, Billie Jo.
