HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY PRINCESS CORA!!!

You've come a long way baby!!!

Summer beach yoga

Taught a class on the beach last night.

Well... it was on the grass next to the beach,

but it was beautiful.

The sun was going down.

There was a slight breeze in the air.

The sound of the water rolling over the shore was soothing.

10 beautiful women.

So relaxing.

Cleansing.

I could do that all day... every day.

ironman/4th of july/Carter reunion

Some random picts of the past few weeks.

Ironman Cd'A

Elmo!

Whitney and James came to town to celebrate mom's birthday (Happy BDay Mom!) and James, an ironman himself, was more than happy to go watch the event.

(Elmo was out of order) Watching the final runners finish was inspiring.

Ashley, Whitney, James and Carli had front row seats to cheer participants on.

Fourth of July weekend was spent studying.

The kids loved it because they got to pick a couple movies out and have some fun eats.

This was us headed out to grab the grub.

Finally at 9:00pm, Frank and I broke from our study and took the kids out for some fireworks.

This was Luke's first time he wasn't afraid to hold the sparkler and as you can tell...

he was excited.

(A neighbor guy told me that he heard from someone that... Bradey really belongs to my sister, and I just take care of him. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!! Who's he been talking to???)

We had a big reunion for my mother-in-law's family.

It was fun to meet everyone and get to know them better.

They all traveled to our home town and got to see the area.

Frank made a big mexican dinner on the last night and no surprise to me...

they loved it.

This is my nephew Gus. He has red hair too and has learned to say "coco" recently.

Daddy and Luke playing. I had to zoom in on this pic to see what they were doing.

Turns out they were having a country game of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

Go figure.

The weather was beautiful and the countryside was breathtaking.

Until next time...

Happy Summer to you!

Uniquely you

How good it is to be uniquely you!

Judgement doesn't belong in my heart.

Wednesdays at Gary's

This post is to show my brothers what we do (or try to do if health and weather are willing) on wednesdays.

Lunch with Gary at his business barbeque.

Good food. Gary's stories. Nice staff. Good times.

The boys like to look at the Macaw who dances and talks.

It was a rainy day so the boys got into some puddle jumping.

They giggled for around 40 minutes and were soaked by the time we left.

On sunny days this is where the barbeque is held. It's a gorgeous courtyard that makes you feel like your in AZ.

They were pretending to be birds in a bird cage. Most of the time spent in the cage was spent discussing exactly how birds look and act so they could do it right.

I hope it's a good monday!

Shout out to my Carli. Happy 7th grade graduation. You handled the year like a pro!

We are so proud of you!

Love mom and dad... and Asha Brenner.

fried computer

From slowing down to pretty much a dead halt.

There has been nothing to speak of because it's very quiet around here.

This stepping back or slowing down is harder than it at first seemed.

It's been rainy and cold to add to the slow molasses feel around here.

My computer hasn't been working for a while so I've had to use my husband's.

A couple days ago we had a little blackout that fried his computer so I no longer have much to work with. He can get the computer going for a bit, but it doesn't last long.

I don't know that for a time I will be able to do a lot of blogging.

I'm not quitting, just setting it aside till things get figured out.

I'm still working with a new blog that will be fun to share when it's ready.

I'll be back here and there.

Hopefully I will be back into it regularly again soon.

Till my next post...

Have a good one!
