Where's Conner...It's So Quiet!

This past Friday I hurt my back picking up my little buddy. And I hurt it BAD! So, I was basically in the horizontal position either on the couch or lounge chair outside all weekend long. Talk about a bumber. I'm not a lay around kind of person and this just made for a long weekend...not in a good way! Boy was I going stir crazy! Anyway, my point...I was out on the lounge chair enjoying the company of my hubby (the best part of my entire weekend) when I realized it was really quiet. I wonder what the kids are doing? Madi was watching TV...Surprise! She watches every chance she gets since I only alow maybe an hour every now and then. This weekend she was in TV heaven. She probably watched more TV than she's watched in her entire life. Okay, probably not. In actuallity she probably only got about four hours in this weekend, but for us that's alot! I think there's so much more to do in life than sit and veg-out. I guess every once in a while it a nice break from reality. Off the subject again...sorry. Anyway, you can see what Conner was doing. Funny thing is, he had to push a chair across the kitchen, climb on it, then climb on top of the counter to reach these tasty little treats that were up on the third shelf. I have no idea how he reached them. Amazing what this boy will do to get food. A boy after his parents heart! We love food!
Well, I'm back on my feet...kinda! So, hopefully I'll have some great things to share this week! Thanks for visiting!

Fourth of July in Big Bear



What a fun weekend we had. My mom, hubby, kids, Lucy and I had a long 4 day weekend in Big Bear. I don't know where to start??? Maybe at the begining. We left mid day on Thursday and stopped at In-N-Out for lunch. But first I had to snap a quick shot of my daisies in the front yard.




Once we finally got to Big Bear we spent a lot of time just kickin' back. We went hiking, took a boat ride on the lake, shopped in town...Ate Ice Cream!!! Yummy! It was fun. Here are some of the cool pictures I got.


At the House...





Pretty Flowers and weeds...




The Trees...


The Bees...



Sorry, you have to turn your head. I have no idea why this keeps turning my pictures around?






Other Cool Stuff...



On the Boat...




Out Hiking...





We had a blast!


When it came time to take pictures of the fireworks, I found myself unprepaired with my tripod in the closet at home. I decided to have fun with the camera anyway. I got some interesting swirls of light. Maybe next year I'll be better prepared...but probably not!


Here's what I took...
