Lili won! Pretty Little Princess

Sophie kept making silly faces--I tried to get one good one...

Sister love

My bike ride this morning...

I love this back yard--see the hammock? I see this place every day--sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening, but I have yet to see anyone in this yard. I will show you the front yard as soon as I can get a chance to take a picture--there always seems to be someone working in the flowerbeds.

I see these bronze kids playing on this waterfall every morning, too.

Pretty front doors I see on my bike rides in the A.M.

I like to move it, move it by Lili Ruth

Talk about a big sky!

We went to see the wild mustangs (2300 of them) who roam on the Shadow Valley Ranch--it is such a wide open space. The mustang pasture is 5500 acres!

2 cute girls!

We took Savannah and Chloe to camp in Arkansas today. Chloe spilled syrup all over her shorts and then a little later, spilled a cooler of ice water in her lap. 660 miles later, we are home, safe and sound. I hope the camp is ready for these two!

Visit to Aunt Irene's

Lena and I had such a good time visiting Aunt Irene in Oak Ridge, Tennessee! We talked a mile a minute, about everything from A to Z. We both loved her house--it sits on 3 wooded acres. She and Uncle Jerry built it about 45 years ago. Sadly, he passed away about a year and a half ago. It is such a peaceful place and filled with lots of memories.

We had a spectacular dinner--she made Greek stuffed chicken breasts and all the fixings to go with them. Then she topped it off with a homemade cheesecake--delicious! All by candlelight.

The next day we had a candle lit lunch with her. We were able to spend the entire day together while the guys were out riding the Tail of the Dragon. We spent most of the time on our knees praying they would get back safely : )

Easter 1943

I found an old picture of Mom & Dad that I had never seen before--love it!

Matthew 5:5 (The Message)

⁵"You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.

Playtime

I took my camera on my bike ride today...

and I found the perfect place to practice yoga, so I'm going to strap my mat on the carrier of my bike and zip over there! There is a lot of eye candy on the way there, so enjoy the pictures.

See that gazebo at the end of the bike path?

More of the 3 Ts

Our little Sophie girl cut herself a fine mullet this last weekend. She very proudly asked me if I liked her haircut. It is a pritty scary piece of work! However, KT and I think she is pretty cute with bangs!

Movie trailer from "Babies":

I went to see this movie last night with Melanie and Chloe--we loved it! Here are a few scenes from it...
