Mary with fireworks and tomato's, she couldn't be happier!!! (she's even in a dress)

Mary & Baby Will

Mary loves her brother she is always wanting to play with him and hold him. I will try to get her to back up a little bit, but baby Will just loves her. She had never tried to pick him up by herself until the other day when she picked him up by his head and neck. I just about died, I was able to walk very slowly to her and get him, poor baby. ( he didn't seem to mind) Some where along the way Will got a very bad poke to the eye. It was so red and would not quit watering so I finally took him to the doctor to get it checked out. They put some drops in his eye to make it glow in the dark and then turned on a black light. It was pretty crazy but all is well and is eye is doing much better!!! He is such a tough kid!!!

He has been pulling the funniest faces lately he has been trying to imitate sounds and facial expressions. He is so dang cute.

Trip to Oregon!!

Great Grandma & Baby Will. It was a long drive but it was definitely worth it, for priceless moments like this. We are so blessed to have such a great family!! We love and miss all of Matts family up in Oregon. It was a great trip and Oregon is so beautiful!!

Mary and Matt spent a night in the tent in the backyard at Grandma Pats and Pa Pa Steve's.

Pa pa Steve built a little campfire and we had smores, the were delicious. Mary loved it!!!!

The kids both loved rocking with Grandma Pat!

Mary and Pa Pa Steve loved running through the sprinklers and blowing bubbles outside. Mary was in heaven!!

Matt and his cousins, they are all so close and grew up playing together at the ranch, what a great childhood Matt had!!! I loved being able to spend some time where Matt has so many great memories. He has an amazing Family. We love and miss all of them!!

Mary and her cousins. She loved playing with all of the kids.
Grandma Pat with all of her brothers and sister.

Great Grandma Gallagher with Mary and Will. It was so fun to see Matt's grandma. It was her Birthday on July 3rd, she turned 85. She is such an amazing and wonderful lady we sure do miss Matts family. It was really nice to see everyone and be there for the 4th of July.

Spinklers at 7AM???

Mary was insisting on running through the sprinklers at 6AM?? I told her we needed to wait until the sun was up, at least. By 7 AM she had found the sun and was ready to go, why not. She loved it, and I was able to get the garden weeded.
Mary has been so funny lately. I finally got rid of all sippy cups and she said. "Mom I'm not a baby anymore I don't need them...... I guess I am growing up!!" so cute.


Mary loves tomato's she was so excited to see the first one on the vine, Yea!!!
My kids live by the motto "Early to bed early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise" (is that how that gos??) They are both up and ready to go by 6AM. I wish they would learn to sleep in, they get up early no matter what time they go to bed.

Celebrate What's Right With The World

I love this video, if you have time you need to watch it. It is well worth the time. (just copy and paste the link if it won't work just by clicking on it)
Here are some of my favorite quotes from this video.....

"By Celebrating whats right we find the energy to fix whats wrong."

"Our perception becomes our reality"

"He assures us that there is always more than one right answer. Celebrating what's right with the world helps us recognize the possibilities and find solutions for the challenges before us. "

*Believe it and you'll see it.
*Recognize abundance
*Look for possibilities.
*Unleash your energy to fix what's wrong.
*Ride the changes.
*Take yourself to your edge.
*Be your best for the world.
