June Theme Day-Feet

The first of the month means "Theme Day" with the City Daily Photo group. This month the theme "feet" won. I caught Braden's feet in the air while he did a flip into the pool!

Train Over Bridge

Good morning, happy Saturday! Any fun plans over the weekend? Christian has a baseball game this morning and we will actually get to play, no rain in sight! Plus he had practice last night and that went as scheduled too! It was fun getting to talk with friends again and me and a couple of other moms even got to play outfield since our team was short a few players. That was fun,lol. I'm not quite as good as I remember from my softball days, ha!

Have you seen any good movies lately? The other day Ashlyn and I rented New In Town, it's the one with Renee Zellwiger and Harry Connick Jr...that was a really cute movie. We also recently watched Bride Wars, hilarious!

Have a great day :)

SkyWatch Friday

It's been a few weeks since I've participated in Skywatch Friday, not sure why, just busy I guess! This shot was taken yesterday at the Blue Ridge Park. We were getting ready for some afternoon thunderstorms which have been happening every day this week and we've been having to postpone our baseball games and practices. In fact, Braden and Dalton were supposed to have a game tonight, but another afternoon thunderstorm rolled in and fixed that for us. It's been so frustrating! Christian is supposed to have practice tomorrow night so keep your fingers crossed that we have clear weather!

To see skies from all over the world, visit SKYLEY!

Barn and Train

I had to take a couple of movies back so I took a little side road for a few new pictures. I pulled over to the side of the road to get a picture of this barn (you probably already know what a huge fan of old barns I am) when this train happened by. Perfect timing!

A is for Adorable

Some of you might remember when I was recently telling you that we had put some tadpoles in a fish bowl to watch them grow. Well, we have two baby frogs and the photo above is one of them. Isn't that just the cutest thing? We have 3 more tadpoles that still don't look anything like this little baby frog. Look how tiny and cute he is!

Salem Red Sox

On Mother's Day, we went to the Salem Red Sox game. The Red Sox are our minor league baseball team. I love going to these minor league games. They are so much more geared towards the kids than major league. After the game was over, they let all the kids down on the field to run the bases. The boys loved that. Christian is having his baseball banquet there too.

Snappy

The other day I found this cute little baby Snapping Turtle. He was just sitting there in the dirt and I barely saw him as I was walking by. I picked him up and brought him in to show the kids. We made him a temporary home in the fishbowl so we could observe him for a couple of days before releasing him into the pond.

I was trying to do my post on Thursday when my computer just totally went out. I don't know what happened to it but I tried everything I could think of to get it back before finally having to resort to a system restore, which worked, but I lost all my info and stored pictures. Oh well. I've got to get better at getting my pictures put on disks. I also of course lost all my bookmarks and when googling my blog "Around Roanoke" discovered someone else has stolen my identity! Yes, someone just started a new website titled "Around Roanoke"...hmmmm, oh well, it looks interesting though, but really, Around Roanoke?

I also have been wanting to publicly thank Di over at Blue Ridge Gal. Last Sunday, after hearing about our sad loss of Daisy, she stopped by our house bearing 2 bouquets of flowers. One for Daisy's grave and the other to keep in the house. She is a sweet, SWEET lady! Thank you again Di, we all appreciated it, really.

And I also want to thank all of you for your kind comments about Daisy. It truly means a lot to me.

I also was tagged by Pak over at Chorzow Daily Photo a little while back and am finally getting around to playing along! Thanks Pak :)
