We went to a picnic on Memorial Day.  It was a beautiful day. HOT, but beautiful.  TJ and I just relaxed, and the boys ran themselves ragged.

The Man

This TJ’s “cool” face. I think. Whatever face it is, I like it.

Thing #1

I am getting into fighting mode.  Yes, I am prepared to fight girls over my son! I called his name, he turned around, this is what I got. I love it, even if it is a little blurry.

Thing #2

He does NOT like to pose for pictures. I have to “catch” a good smile, if I can. One day I’ll “catch” him looking into the camera.

Sweet Pea

I’ve been training him on his “camera” smile since Kindergarten. Hard work pays off!

So Happy Together!

Mr. and Mrs. Day. Yes, we really are THAT happy!

These are the menfolk who surround me…….

 

No explanation necessary.  :)

TJ Junior.  16.  Literally makes me laugh so hard that I can’t breathe.  Greets me every morning with a hug and a kiss.  Also thinks he can beat me, so we wrestle pretty much every day.  He hasn’t won yet! TJ lives with his mom now, but visits often.

Thing #1. 13.  Don’t worry, it’s an affectionate term. If you don’t know, read up on your Dr. Seuss! Hugs me all the time.  Follows me everywhere.  I should call him my shadow.  Artistic. Sweet. Outgoing.

Thing #2.   13. Kind of a loner.  Also artistic. Very quiet.  I have to go chase him for hugs.  Usually helps Junior wrestle me. He loses too!

Sweet Pea. 11. The youngest of the bunch and my biological child.  Smart, funny, silly. A video game pro.  He loves having brothers!
