It's all I really need... well, almost.

Diamond Days. It's our holiday. We are in harmony. And we love every minute. We climb. We hike. We eat. We shoot. We dig. We get dirty. And secretly we all wish we could pitch a tent and live outdoors for the rest of lives. And wear gigantic sunglasses to make us feel chic in the woods.




gettin 'r dun (must be said with backwoods accent).



that's how we do it. we start 'em early (this one too).


And as for Ms. G, she really isn't that interested in anything that doesn't include her yellow bucket.

I am happy to say goodbye

March, you are over. Thank you. To be honest I really thought I would see my 90th birthday before I saw the end of you. I am sorry to inform you that you are now officially out of the runnings for my favorite month. February, in it's swiftness, still takes the cake. Let's hope the following months did not take to heart your example. Instead, let's all work together(are you listening April and May?)to get the time bracket months (June-Aug) here quickly and flawlessly. I would really appreciate it.

Ok March you do have a saving grace. My Ms. B. turned 6 with your help. I will applaud you for that.

Here is to my B. 6 things that I truly adore about her.

1. She can hip-hop like nobody's bizz-nass.
2. She is truly tender-hearted
3. She gives the best compliments, such as, "mom you really don't sing that well, but you have a really really nice talking voice."
4. She is unstoppable when it comes to anything math
5. She has a knack in the kitchen. She tastes, she spices up and she can perfect most meals.
6. She is, quite possibly, one of the bravest people I know.
