He's got big balls

Dylan's first time at the skate park [East Troy]... and he elects to start on one of the high ramps!


Alex coaches....


Dylan falls....

and gets another lesson.

Oh, speaking of smells.....

I smelled one of the most wonderful things the other day & I can't believe I didn't share it with you....



Fresh Corn. Not cooked on the cob, but blossomed- as in: it's ripe!!! The husks popped out and let loose a scent my nose had not ever smelled before. It was glorious, let me tell you, as a non-smoker to be able to pick up on that one. Yum.

*FYI, if you can't tell, the picture is actually of a cornfield... that I'm driving by at 55mph.

Gone Swimming.... [filed under Being Blonde]

Mom, can I go swimming at Sam's?

->Sure, go ahead. Take a towel with you!

F-> Make sure its one of those goofy looking ones- with the flowers.. that's either green or yellow!

:we have inherited some really ugly towels... I use them to dry the dog, or let the kids take them swimming... [thanks Mom!]:

But those are really small!!

->:sigh: Is it a washcloth?

:silence: Yea, its a washcloth...

Being Blonde

Dylan: 'Mom, can I have some orange juice?'

Me: 'Sure.'

:::I pour him some orange juice, he adds his crazy purple straw.:::

Dylan: 'Mmm, this Orange juice tastes like oranges!'

Me: 'That's because Orange juice is made from oranges.'

Dylan: 'Oooh. Yummy!'

:::sigh:::

Where has the time gone?

I've done my best to put them in order of year. Look how cute & little they looked!!!


There. I Love my boys. Now you know.
