Happy Friday the 13th!

friday the 13th has never been an unlucky day for us - just another day ;0)

here, i had them say "i'm a knucklehead!" ~giggle~

but what better day, than today, to post a totally random blog....complete with totally random pics! ~teehee~

steph sent this to me - cute pic of the girls at cole's bday party

guess who's mohawk is gone?!
yep, he let me trim up both sides last night, and then decided, "uh, maybe u should cut it off"
"u sure bub? u can grow it again another time, but once i shave it off now, it's really gone"
"yep, maybe i'm done with it"
adorable!

i hope everyone is ready for daddy day! :0)
we've been anxiously waiting to give curtis his gifts - we wrapped these weeks ago & all 3 kids have managed to keep the surprise this entire time (from daddy & grandpa) - amazing!
~sniff, they're growing up~
i'm sure they'll come home from daycare with lots more loot for dad today too

i've never claimed to b the most observant person in the world, but how in the heck did i miss the fact that we have yet another cherry tree in our back yard?! last evening, while watering the flowerbed & gathering most of the rest of the cherries on our other trees (cause they're all really, really ripe now & will either go bad soon or be eaten up by the birds & bugs) & just a few more blackberries (haven't gotten too many - the birds just squawk away when i'm gathering the blackberries, like get away from our bush! ~lol~), i looked over to the side edge of our yard and spotted these...

they are tiny still & just starting to turn yellow - but hopefully we'll get another round this summer!

besides celebrating father's day on sunday, by doing whatever it is that daddy wants to do that day....we also have family coming in this weekend - my mom's side....her sisters & my cousins (and their kids, in some cases) from texas, north carolina, west virginia....my papaw.....mom's brother who lives 2 hrs away.....mom's twin aunts who she hasn't seen in 10 years (i think they're living in illinois these days).....it's our annual Brady reunion - but it's more than just an hour or 2 of eating/socializing.....we have a huge lunch with steaks on the grill at the park, the kids swim at the park's pool, we hike the trails & just sit and chat for hours....then we move the party to my papaw's cabin where we start a bon fire & have s'mores.....chat some more & have some drinks.....it's so much fun! i can't wait! :0)

everyone have a GREAT weekend! stay cool & enjoy the outdoors with ur family! and show dad just how much he's loved! ;0)
