Deep Thought Thursday with JBL - Vol. 25

Scuba Diving

Diving Deeper and Deeper.

Dependant on air in a tank.

At 60,70 FT you Look up.  You can't see the top.  You look around and notice the serenity.

You will be back.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

SUMMA SUMMA TIME!

Isn't he the cutest little rowdie you've ever seen.  Those training wheels aren't even hitting the ground!

(Taking his shirt off was the only way he could handle the Texas heat at Grandma's house.)

We just can't help but graduate....

We had another graduation this weekend.... this one from high school!  Congrats Rachie! 

Mom smartened up and brought a camera this week :)

Deep Thought Thursday with JBL - Vol.24

Wind

Begins with a breeze

than a hard powerful gust

soon will be passive

Ying/Yang

This is Tonda, we work together.  She always looks fabulous and you will never find her in heels shorter than 5 inches.  No joke. 

Today we came in dressed like we should be in a Target commercial.  The color is off, but my dress is chocolate and hers is tan.  Aren't we cute?

Security Enforced

Just a word of warning... I plan on making Neatos private.  My blog has always been intended for family and friends as a way of staying connected... not for creeps (you know who you are).  So next week I plan on making the blog private.  For all my known followers, nothing will change.  I'll just send you an email giving you access to the website.  And for all my unknown followers, you will be granted access only after I've given consent. 

I know it sounds serious, but it's not.  I just want to still be able to talk about my amazing, awesome, totally rad, cool life without worrying about weirdos.  You understand right?

Congrats Graduates!

One negative side effect of having a sister with an eye for photography and the camera to capture... is that the rest of us become really lazy when it comes to documenting.  Sorry, but this is the only photo that was managed the whole weekend.  We suck.

This weekend two of my cousins graduated from college!  Mom and I swam our way down to College Station to watch Mary Elizabeth cross the stage at Texas A&M University, while my dad ran up to Norman to watch Scott accept his diploma at Oklahoma University (we don't hold it against him).  Our family is so proud of both of them.  I think sometimes, when college is considered the 'norm' in a family, it's sometimes overlooked as a relatively easy task... but it's not.  It's a lot of work, dedication and caffeine; and we really commend them both for going the distance.  Scotty is officially a registered nurse, but is continuing on with specialty school after a year of field work and Liz is crossing her fingers for a second round interview as a Spanish teacher at a local Episcopal private school. 
Congrats Cousins, you can now breathe a little easier! 

OH, wait!  Here's a pic of Liz... via someone else's camera.

Trees

Covered in foliage

They move with the blowing wind

Soon, the leaves will go

Sorry that DTT was on Friday.  I did a fast and furious daytrip to Atlanta yesterday for work and it completely left my mind.  I'm sorry to everyone out there that was robbed of their Deep Thought.  I will find a way to make it up to you. 

THURSDAY

How long 'til happy hour?  I'm in desperate neeeeed.

Deep Thought Thursday with JBL - Vol. 23

Summer

Hot, Steamy

Playing, Running, Swimming

Fun in the sun

Heat!

Baby Noles wishes she had a name.

I told you earlier that my childhood friend, Jaime was expecting a baby in June... well we're now on count down!  Yahoo!  Some friends and I threw her a shower on Sunday so that she would be totally prepared for her little girl's arrival on June 2nd. 

Jaime was definitely SHOWERED... with clothes!  I've never seen so many girly outfits in one room!  Now all that's needed for that baby is a NAME.

Surprise, surprise I forgot my camera so these are just a couple that I snagged from a friends' mom.  Congrats Jaime!  We can't wait to meet 'what's her name'!
