Awesome #6 -- My cool Nephew Ryan

 

Ryan already knows he's cool, but I'll say it anyway.  I've known him since he was born, even before he was officially my nephew.  He is a super-smart and super-special kid, and we all think he's awesome.  Plus, he is 15 today!  (Oh my gosh, how did that happen?!)  Happy Birthday Ryan!

Awesome #5

Last Sunday, in a sports bar/restaraunt, an infomercial for the Genie Bra was playing on one of the big screens (who knows why).  My sweet Nathan points at the screen, and says (loudly), "Mama, you need that!!!!!"  He and James laughed for 10 minutes.  awesome.

Not Awesome, but I hear this at least once a day

"Hey, where's my book?  Mom, have you seen my book?  NATHAN, DID YOU TAKE MY BOOK???!!!!  GIVE IT  ...... oh, here it is".

Awesome #4 My sweet nephew, Ivan

The sweetest boy who says "I love you Aunt Susie" several times a day whenever I visit.  His 7th birthday was Saturday, and we all got to celebrate with him.  Totally Awesome!

Awesome #3 -- My nephew, Alex, and his Hollywood Smile

Alex is 10 today!  Happy Birthday Alex-- you are awesome at everything you do, and we love you lots!

Awesome #2 -- Girl Scouts

I've had the best time helping with Emily's Brownie troop this year.  There are 24 girls, 2nd and 3rd graders and they are so much fun.  We have gone camping and canoeing, spent the night at a childrens' museum and the aquarium, visited an animal hospital and a nursing home, learned new songs and dances, and of course, sold cookies!  I have to get Emily a new sash for next year, her old one is completely full of patches for activities and badges earned just this year. 

My Own Book of Awesome

Because I've been thinking about things that make me happy lately.


1.  Little Boys' Hair when they wake up in the morning.  Sticking out in all directions and so adorable.  (I would put a picture of Nate's hair up, but he wouldn't let me take his picture)
