I always knew...

that my dad had eyes in the back of his head!

But in all seriousness, this is what they had to do to dad's head before his MRI yesterday in preparation for his biopsy today. The doctor will be going into his brain to attempt to grab a piece of the tumor. We probably won't know any results for about a week.

Everyone please keep good thoughts and prayers that all goes well today.

I started out my day off...

with a leisurely breakfast outside enjoying the wonderful weather and reading the paper. I looked up and there was Mark snapping my picture!

(and then I ended this nice day by washing my cell phone in my pants pocket - what a nimrod!)

It was such a beautiful day out...

I decided to go to the park. I don't ever remember seeing so many squirrels and take a look at the lily pads, they were just covered with turtles!

I enjoyed feeding the squirrels, birds, ducks...

Tired Little Bird! When I pulled into the empty parking structure at work on Friday, I saw this little bird just sitting there on the concrete. Eyes were closed, breathing was shallow. As I walked up, he never moved. Sick, I wondered as I pulled out my phone to take his pic? Nope - just a little snooze before a busy day! Nudged him and off he flew (a bit erratic as he had been so rudely disturbed!)

The gang wasn't quite all here...

but we had fun with the ones that were! I thought I got this great family picture and then found that Owen's head was in front of dad's. So, we tried again. Got dad's head, but Owen didn't want to play the game this time and I almost cut off George and Lindsay! No one was up for a third try. You take what you can get!

Happy Birthday Mom and Dad!

We got together to celebrate Mom and Dad's birthdays. I made Chicken Divan and "The Coconut Cake" (thanks Dawn for both recipes).

Lady in Red!

Wow - check out those heels!! Can you say "There's no place like home."

Fun with Owen!

Owen was having fun with the blocks, building a fishing pole. Every time we didn't think we could find one more single block, "voila!", one would appear.

He was quite proud of his tattoos. Fred said that he actually had wanted a real one. More to follow...??

There was a roly poly bug in the cup. Quite a catch! Anyway, by the time they left to go home, roly was no where to be found!! Loose in grandma's house?

Corynn singin' to her olives...

Camdyn goes under!

Papa and I ...

took the twins to the Living Desert last Friday. We had fun checking out all the animals. Must be nesting season for the birds. We saw one drop an egg and one of the vultures was on her nest. Of course, the giraffes were wonderful to observe. Such beauty!

Camdyn was the adventurous one at the petting zoo. Corynn was happy to just look. As you will see, she got her nose out of joint a couple of times! Check out the floating flip flop! Fun day!!


"Dang...she found me!"
