HAPPINESS IS:

FOURTH OF JULY

 WATCHING A PARADE AND WAVING A FLAG. OR SITTING ON A PORCH HOLDING A FLAG. :)

WATCHING THE 4TH OF JULY PARADE WITH A FRIEND.

HOMEMADE SHIRTS BY MOM WITH FLAGS AND STARS. 

KRISPY KREAM DONUTS AND COLD MILK.

MAKING 103 POINTS ON ONE WORD IN WORDS FOR FRIENDS.

JESSICA AND HER CAR

JENNY'S NEW JEEP

AUNTIE JENNY'S LOVE AND HUGS...

AND A PUPPET BLANKET.

LOSING YOUR ADENOIDS, WITH MOM (AND AN iPAD) RIGHT THERE AND POPSICLES AND ICE CREAM WAITING FOR THE BRAVE LITTLE BOY TO COME HOME.

GOING TO THE MOVIE WITH MY MOM AND THEN TO OLIVE GARDEN AND HAVING LEFT OVERS FOR NEXT DAY. 

MOST OF ALL HAPPINESS IS KISSES FROM MATTIE SUE AND MALYN AND A FRIEND, SIENA. 

JUST A FEW MORE WEEKS AND WE'LL BE GETTING THOSE KISSES IN PERSON. 

A fun summer...

My cousin had twins two days before my birthday. Two girls. Hooray for girls.

 Abigail, Brynn, and Theresa

 My Uncle Frank, The twins grandpa. He'll be great. Little overwhelming!

CAMP NAMA for a week.

We saw "Brave" 

 in 3D. 

When the big bear comes out Ryan put his stuff on the seat next to him and got up and started to walk out and said, this is scary Nama. I said come sit on my lap and we'll wait and see if the things turn around and everything works out. 

We did and it did!!!

Afternoon at Nama Dotty's house.

Ryan: "Nama Dotty, your house is AWSOME" 

He looked at everything through her big magnifying glass.

We had lunch with sandwiches cut into shapes.  

And Ryan was in charge of timing the home made cookies. Yes boys put the timer on top of their heads. Why do you ask? 

Cookies are ready and Ryan takes charge and gets them ready for Nama Dotty and me.

Then we need to do a few jumping excises. This is the leap and...

  

Jump.

Then we went straight into the pool at Nama Dotty's pool.

She gave him a little red ball and he jumped in to retrieve it, maybe 50 times. Rested then started all over again.

In and out. He'd get out and bounce the ball high in the air and it would land in the water and he would look for it and jump in and retrieve it. Maybe he was a golden retriever in his last life. J/K.

Never to tired to help. He takes good care of his Nama's.

Ryan ran some errands with me. Here he's getting Boo's mail.

Funny how this was a big deal. But he loves his Uncle Boo so doing something like this was extra special.

Didn't see the chipmunk movie but saw the little guys there.

Didn't see Spiderman movie but saw the poster and Ryan thought it might be a good idea to take a picture with Spiderman.

Poppy and Ryan heading out to his last day at Vacation Bible School.

My buddy for a week. 

Such a fun week.

Chesley and I took Ryan to VBS the last day and walked around after dropping him off. Here is what we came across. No wonder Ryan had the time of his life.

 Chesley may have enjoyed walking around with Ryan a couple of days. Maybe next year.

We did other fun things but sometimes you just have to leave the camera / iPhone in your purse!!!!
