A boy and his shadow (Jacob mad he lost)
Another boy and his shadow (T.J. after winning , the usual look of a teenager, a frown)
3 guys fighting over two swings, apparently their mother never taught them to share (this pic taken by that mother perched nicely on the third swing which they let me have without a fight (the pouty mouth and the sad eyes works everytime)
The 3 buddys, where T.J. and Jacob are, there Ted most also be.

These pics were takin this weekend, we were all able to spend some much needed family time together, no schedules, no abligations, no urgent things to take care of, just free time...... Friday night we had loads of snacks and watched the movie "King Kong" which we seen in the theater and loved so we bought it......Saturday while the guys were out fixing the brakes on one of our vehicles, I cleaned up the house alittle and did some laundrey, got ready, and then it was off to the park to shot some hoops and goof around for a couple of hours. Since the boys usualy pick fishing or park and basketball, and our fishing liecense was expired, it was park and basketball. And me being as coordinated as a 1 legged dog it was quite the game, I wonder why all three say you get mom. (come on guys I'm not that bad, am I?) .....It was a beautiful day to be out and hangin with the kids....I cherish every day with them, their 11 and 16 and growing up so fast, wish they could stay little forever!! When they do growup and have their own lives I will miss every goofy querk they have, the laughter, the moodiness, the jokes, the picking on mom, the restling, the prayers and the goodnights at bedtime, the "MOM" yelled from another room, the mini lego's and mini Gi joe guys sprolled out on a blanket on the living room floor with both of them playing together... I will miss every single card game, board game or puzzle and meal at the kitchen table, every "Tremors" or "Jurassic Park" marithon watched on cold winter days and even every trip back and forth to school...... T.J. and Jacob you make life beautiful and fun, I love you both very much!!!!!!!
