P52 Week 25 Plus 1000 Gifts....

Some pictures from our beach day on Friday.  It was a beautiful day.  The beach we went to is close to one of the California Missions.  We visited a cross that one of the father's planted there around 1700 to guide visitors to the mission.

My Girl....

She is off to camp.....
She was so excited to go this year because she would be in "high school!" Are you kidding me, she should still be in kindergarten!  Where in the heck did the time go??? I told her she did not need to take the bus that I would drive her and she just stared at me with this look of horror on her face... "but Mom, I am in high school!" But girlie girl, you are my baby!!!!! Please let me baby you!!!!
She took the bus...
She is there, SAFE, and I am sure having the time of her life.
Why do we have to have all these stupid changes at once.  I liked it when my babies were little and they were stuck to my hip... honestly!

I am sure I made a mistake somewhere with her age... she is really only 10, right?

Blessings,
Kim

P52 Week 24 Plus 1000 Gifts....

I love taking pictures....
I have not posted as much because honestly, "where does the time go?" Last week, we spent some time in Seattle, Washington.  We were able to hang out with the grand kids and enjoy some different scenery.  These pictures are of our oldest daughter's back yard.  She has all these beautiful trees and all this green around her.  My girlie girl and one of my grandson's decided to climb some trees.  Can you see my grandson at the top of the tree in the first picture? Also, my girl in the third picture.










Also, I have not posted my 1000 gifts in awhile so I decided to start anew again...
