EXCELLENT JOB Stacie!

If anyone is looking to find my Stacie lately, they will have to look a little harder to find my little lady. She's recently joined Weight Watchers, and in a four week period has lost over 13 pounds. It hasn't been an easy fight but she's taking to it with determination. I'm benefiting a few ways with this deal. The first and most important to me is my wife is happier and healthier, it's making me more conscious of what and how much I'm eating. And just look at her, she'd still be pretty even if she gained that much. I've got enough love for a bigger Stacie but will have to focus it in on a smaller Stacie, I believe that qualifies as concentrated love, she's still the purttiest.

I'm getting excited for the upcoming reunion.

I'm getting so excited about our reunion coming up. I so can use and need the chance to recharge my "batteries".

The sound of the nearby stream was so relaxing (maybe a little stressful to the moms of the young), but I love the sound of running water, maybe cause I'm hearing the fish calling my name.

The road to the campground was top notch, with a couple of steeper grades, but not too bad. But as the driver, keep an eye on the road. The area is so pretty and beautiful, just leave that for your passengers.

It's going to be nice to sit around campfire, sharing stories, catching up with everyone and strengthening the bond of family. I hope we don't hear another confession this year of someone sleeping with our father, not even from mom (there still are things a kid doesn't want to hear).

My girls are excited to see there cousins. Does anyone ever think how lucky we are that our kids live so close to their cousins, we always had to wait for reunions and special occasions to meet our extended family.

This is something I think will be unique to our campsite for the year. This was what looked like our source of water there. It looked clean, but a bit odd. We'll be able to use some of the young energy and put it to good use.

June already?

I can't believe this is already June, May went so fast.

May is always a favorite month around our house. Both Samantha (15th) and Sierra (28th) celebrate birthdays.

I know I've said it before and I know I'll say it again, but my girls are growing up so fast. Sometimes I'll just sit and watch them. They are so beautiful and smart (want to get good kids? Start with a good mom), they are so different but yet so much alike.
