Cutest Boy in NY

I don't get to see this little guy very often but when I do it is just so fun because as you can see he has the cutest little face ever and he is very expressive and fun to be around. He is my only brown eyed little cutie and I love him to pieces. I will be glad when he lives closer so I can hug and kiss his little face to my hearts content.

More Cool in Flagstaff

After Greer Wayne and I went to our timeshare in Flagstaff. This is always a fun place to end the summer. We have a few days to ourselves to recharge and relax and then the family who can come up to enjoy a last little bit of cool before school starts. Wayne and I checked in on Sunday and spent a quiet evening reading and relaxing. Monday morning dawned to rain and it rained pretty much all day. We took our time starting for the day and finally left to eat lunch and go to a movie since it was such a rainy day. On our way home we stopped and replenished our food supply since more family were coming the next day. Carrie and her children along with Aubrey came up Tuesday evening. Marcus and three of his children and Trevor came up on Wednesday. What fun we had just haning out, reading, playing, watching T.V. and of course going to the Activities Center to swim, play miniture golf, swing, and etc. Carrie and her girls, Aubrey, and I went for the annual getting ready for school shopping trip. That is always fun, especially with Abby!
