1)
Yesterday was Ozzy's Birthday! He turned 7! You're never too old to chew on a good stick!

2)
Braden is competing in States for the 55 and the 4x200 relay on Saturday! It is being held at Roanoke College...the above picture was taken at Heritage High School last month...

3) Last weekend Nick was flipping through the tv channels and came across a cooking show called Cookin' Cheap ...it was filmed here in Roanoke in the early to mid 80's...oh my gosh, we laughed so hard...this was a great little cooking show...you'll have to see if you can stream it...we found it on PBS...

4) The last few times I've downloaded pics from my camera they just kind of disappear into my computer...I know I saw them download but now I can't find them...have you ever had this happen to you? So frustrating! I do however need to clean out the old archives...soooo many pictures that are just sitting there taking up space...

5)
Going back in time to March of 2011 when we first got Ozzy...ahhhh would you look at my 2 babies! Ashlyn was in 11th grade then and Ozzy only about 6 weeks old!

That's my 5 for the week! I hope you will join in! Post 5 randoms, link back and visit others!! Have a great weekend friends!!

This morning's sunrise...the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance...it's going to be a gorgeous day!

2)
Wednesday was Ashlyn's 23rd birthday! I went over and picked her up so we could spend a few hours together. She wanted to go to Black Dog Salvage and look around for a table...everything was way out of her price range...they have cool stuff there, just pretty costly...I've heard from people around here that the prices went up after they started their show...that's too bad...anyways, after leaving Black Dog empty handed I took her to lunch at Tuco's Taqueria which is one of her favorite places...we both had a shredded beef taco and a chicken taco...oh, and a margarita :)
After that we went back to her apartment and walked around the block with Riley...

3)
This one is a couple of houses down from her...

4)
This one is on the corner...can you see the porch curtains on the left? I love when big porches like this have curtains!

5)
The little alleyway that runs behind her street...

I've got to get the boys up shortly and head to the mall...we need to do some back to school shopping...boo...school starts Wednesday...booooo :(

I put shopping off till almost the last minute and wouldn't you know, today and tomorrow are "tax free" days for back to school stuff such as clothes and computers and school supplies...you couldn't pay me to get out and shop tomorrow but maybe the crowds won't be so bad this morning and I can save a few bucks!

That's my 5 this week friends! I hope you will play along too! Post 5 randoms, link back and visit others! Have a great weekend :)

1)
More from The Bridges/Dr. Pepper Park in Roanoke...this is the Speedy Gonzalez edition...getting Ashlyn moved this morning...

2)
We were going to get a moving truck but thought she didn't have too much to move and the heavy stuff like bed and dressers could fit easily in Nick's truck tomorrow...

3)
Boy were we wrong...you would not believe the sea of boxes sitting here waiting to be loaded into my Explorer and her little tiny car...

4)
This morning it will just be me and Ash and the boys moving all this...we get to pick up her keys at 9...in an hour...I see a few trips back and forth in our future...good thing her apartment is only 10 miles away!

5)
Her friend and boyfriend will help later today when they get off work and Nick will help with his truck tomorrow when he is off...hopefully by tomorrow it will just be the bed and dressers...I better get going! We have a busy day ahead!!

That's my 5 this week and I hope you will join in too! Post 5 randoms, link back and visit others!! Have a super weekend :)


I'm linking up with Mascha's Weekend Green & Five on Friday

P.S. Thank you so much for linking up last week and I apologize for not getting around to visit everyone yet...it's been a busy week with getting things ready for Ashlyn's move and other clean-ups but I will get to you eventually, I pinky promise!

Since Ashlyn graduates tomorrow and I took some pics of her on Sunday I am going to show a few of my favorites!

1)

Ashlyn's major is Political Science and she spent much time in Miller Hall

2)

This was an accidental picture. It was windy and she was trying to get her cap back on, waiting for the wind to stop....turned out to be one of my favorites!

3)

A couple more of my favorites that she wouldn't agree with...here she is posing with James Madison and again the wind blew her cap off but she looks like she is having a genuine good time with old James here! Makes me smile!

4)

5)

And here she is with Duke Dog!

That's my 5 this week and I hope you will play along! Post 5 randoms, link back, visit others!! Have a great weekend!
