Mommy is glad he is home.

Happy Birthday Oliver and U.S.A.

Oliver had a fun filled fishing and fireworks birthday! He spent the morning and afternoon with Mommy and the evening with his daddy. Mommy will see him Friday.

This was a hard picture to take...

These are so much fun to take and it takes a lot

to get it right.  Giggles.

Fishing for the day with Mattias.

Curious onlookers.

Serious about weighing his bluegill. 

Birthday cake time!  Mommy made Oliver the painting

of the states.  

Playing cornhole...a birthday present from Mommy.

Love this 10 year old!

Getting Ready

Tomorrow is Oliver's big day.  He is turning 10 years old!  He celebrated for a bit today with his Daddy's family.  Then he came home to hang out with Mattias and get ready for fishing and fireworks tomorrow!  

We chose a little cake for him at Major Market.

They are so grown up.

Walking in Trader Joes they both looked

so grown up.

Shooting in the range.  Yup, growing up.

Mommy misses that cute baby that was

born 10 years ago.  

Camping, Birthdays, Fair, Summer Fun

So much summer fun for both of us.  Oliver is finally home and we went to Claire's 5th birthday party yesterday and the fair today.....  Here are just a bunch of pictures.  Maybe Mommy can find time to caption them when she also finds time to put the tea party and graduation pictures up!  Busy summer!
