I took mom to one of her MRI appointments at Summit. I wouldn’t normally post about something like this but while sitting in the waiting room I decided to take a picture to send to some friends and family. I thought the picture of mom turned out really good so here it is.

Mom really likes this butterfly that she ironed on her purple sweater. She wanted me to take a picture of it not really sure why but anyway hehe I did take the pix of it for here so I thought I would share it with all of you.

On our way home mom and I decided to give Mel a call to see if she wanted to meet us uptown for lunch. So we met and took a few more pix. It was a good time and a nice lunch. Taylor was sure full of smiles she was happy she got to sit next to her Grandma. I think we should try to do lunches like this more often.

This is Grandpa cutting up watermelon with the most precious Grandkids.

Oh the fun! The kids had watching and helping Grandpa cut up the watermelon.

Austin and Taylor were eating it as fast as Grandpa was carving the melon.

After all the cutting was finished Melissa, Jason, the Kids, And I enjoyed watermelon until our bellies ached.

Grandpa put all the time and effort into cutting the watermelon and he doesn’t even enjoy watermelon. He did it just for everyone else.

Taylor sure was happy to get her picture taken. She could hardly stand still enough for my camera to take a picture that wasn’t blurry. After several attempts she finally stood still. The close up was fun she laughed at herself when she saw it on my camera.

These are my batteries!
They give me strength and energy and keep me going.
The best part is they always stay charged.

This is one of my favorite pictures, mom took it summer 2006

everyone was up at the lakes that weekend fishing, playing and working and we surprised everyone when we showed up. I remember it was a lot of fun seeing both the kids Austin and Taylor playing around the water with their little life jackets on. The kids were 2 and 3 years old they sure have grown a lot since this picture was taken.  Even though the picture is a couple years old it is still a very good memory and a day i wouldn’t mind experiencing again someday.

This was the last time doug and I were up at the lakes.
