WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!

I'll tell you where I've been....right here. Well, up until recently. Lexie and the kids were here till about July 9th and after taking them back to Arizona and getting home myself, I seem to have fallen off the earth, when it comes to blogging, that is. I have been such a slacker. I guess that I am taking a summer vacation, literally...although I still seem to fix dinner and do the laundry. It has been very different not having Tibi here, just Landon and us boring old parents. Landon took off last Monday for scout camp all week, just got home this morning, so Kevin and I took a quickie trip to Carlsbad. We went to the beach, did sealings with dad as sealer, went out to dinner with all family adults, and went shopping with Lisa. And did I take even ONE picture....NO! I don't even have a good excuse either. I did happen to snap these two pictures right before we left to come home.

My beautiful sister, Lisa, and me. People are always telling us that we look alike, but even more, SOUND alike. She works at JoAnne's Fabrics and every time I walk in and start talking, the employees all freak out because they can't believe how much we sound alike. I don't get it...

And my lovely mother...she's even beautiful without her makeup on! Too bad I look more like dad. ( He doesn't look so bad without HIS makeup on either!!)

That's the first I've seen a picture of your mother and/or Lisa in literally ten years!!! In fact, I don't think I've seen Lisa in over 15 years!! Amazing to know how old we are all getting. But she looks great. Your mom too. How is her health? Thanks for blogging!

Those are the best pictures in the world. I'm so glad you went and to do sealings with grandpa sealing is a dream come true. I have a hard time picturing you and dad frolicking by yourselves at the beach. Where did you shop with Lisa? How was Scott's birthday? I'll call you soon to talk it all over! Grandma looks fantastic without make up! She's a true beauty no matter what! Lisa looks great!

I don't think any of my daughters or my sister sound like me. when I was a teenager everyone on the phone thought I was my younger brother.
