My "I found a nutshell - so I'm putting everything in it"...post

OH HOLY COW - by the time I get to post anything I'll be old and ... well... let's not go there.  So I've decided that I will just post all these pictures and put a caption to them and move on with my out of control life.  But as you look at them - I want you to see HOW BEAUTIFUL - my children are.... seriously folks - the only thing MORE BEAUTIFUL would be my GRANDCHILDREN and they are also in these pictures!!! So pop some popcorn (Theater kind, blast 'o' butter, extra fixins - meaning throw some M&M's in there too) and enjoy my camera's view on life as of late.  (.... not the other camera... just one of the cameras... because I have a stupid camera and then I have this camera, which I like, but I really hate using..... squirrel)  Seriously folks - no time to put these in order - welcome to my world... (this is quite possibly the laziest post I've ever done..... until the next one)

I like this smile
Brandon - the one and only favorite nephew...

Ok - and just to pass the time.... Ashley and I did the Little Red Riding Hood Century Ride...

You know - this quick and sloppy might just be the guilt free way...

Which base were you giving the send off? I've been too busy but have been invited to a few of these lately.

Love the pictures, but I am confused. . . you mom looks lovely and NORMAL. How did it happen? By the way, I have two nieces for your nephew. This is Utah, after all!

Oh, Nic, you crack me up. It seems that your pictures are very nearly the same as mine - I also have a crazy family (no wonder we get along so well, eh?) except I don't have the 4 generations. Well, yes I do if you count step-gramma...but who's counting? And I don't bike; my dead flies are from racing around in the pantera....And camille, I also have an unmarried son.....
