138/365 Inspiration

This may not look like much but this is my father in law, who is blind, throwing in a dart game while we were at the boardwalk. He is really quite amazing, but I must admit we did keep the kids back a bit for this!!

137/365 Stripes

Gotta love the stripes on this big clown. Sean did not want to sit there for the picture but in the end he was a good sport for me :)

136/365 sandy

We went to Point Pleasant for father's day with my husband's father, and his brother. Here Sean was walking through the sand while the older boys went on some "big boy rides."

Out my window (make your own theme)

I was driving home tonight to a very unhappy sky and as I drove closer it became a VERY mean sky! The dark patch in the back is where I had to go and boy were there thunderstorms :( It seems like we have had nothing but rain for weeks. I took this with my new cell phone so it's not very clear but it did the trick!

134/365 Things that go

Well this is my sisters boat, wave runner and her ocean kayak..they all "go!"

133/365 Big Event

This may not look like a "big event" to many, but to my little guy Sean this was HUGE! Last year he freaked when we tried to take him in the water but this year my nephew Ryan was able to get him in the water the first time out. It took him a little while, and thank goodness that Ryan was patient, but he eventually let go and walked in the water alone!! YEAH!! now on to swimming lessons

132/365 The Wild Side

This is my oldest Adam thinking he is "just all that" as he took a ride on my sister's wave runner.

131/365 Black and White

My husband Chris looked very nice in his black and white tuxedo all dressed for the affair that honored his father.

130/365 Fashion

This was taken a few weeks ago (still catching up) my father in law was honored as humanitarian of the year at Seton Hall University. You can check his foundation out here http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=86645867709&h=iSI-W&u=TiGif&ref=nf . I labeled this fashion because since I lost 45 pounds I have to relearn how to dress. My mom fitted me for this dress and all the accessories and I felt awesome!

129/365 Graduation (make your own theme)

This has been a crazy few months my little guy here Sean is finishing pre-school, my older son Adam finished Kindergarten, I finished another bike tour this time 45 miles and work is as busy as ever. Please bear with me I'm going to try and catch up.

128/365 On the Water

I couldn't help but take a picture of the gulls surrounding the boat while we were on the bay. They are beautiful while they are in the air but darn if they aren't annoying little scavengers. This was taken at Tyses Shoal it's the very end of Island beach state Park in NJ, hundreds of boats dock on the weekends here and then walk over the dunes to a private beach on the Ocean. It is just gorgeous.

127/365 Perfect Alignment

These are the new pavers outside my parents beach house. They made a deck and leveled off the property which makes for an awesome seating area!

126/365 Take a bow (make your own #10)

Lol I was looking at the theme list and nothing seemed to fit then I started playing on words and this one still makes me laugh. I wish this was a boat junkyard but it's actually an eyesore that is close to my mom's beach house. Three boats and none worth the paint they have on them - I'm sure at one point someone had a lot of fun with them

125/365 Rest in Peace

I didn't take this photo - I wish I could have because that would mean that my grandparents were still here, but they have been gone almost 20 years and I miss them as much as ever. This is my Jiddaw and Siddaw (Syrian for grandma and grandpa) and they were the best anyone could ask for. I used to stop over their house on the way home from college each Friday night and my jiddaw would always make sure I had $5.00 gas money (which he saved from his Bingo winnings) and they always had food waiting for me. They always wanted to know how everything was going and were so upset when I had to leave . My Siddaw had very bad arthritis, worse than I have ever seen even now after being a therapist for 15 years- but I never ever heard her complain. She is my hero and I hope that I have a little of her strength in me.

I miss you both so much
I will love you always

124/365 Garden Treasure (Make your own #9)

My mom has a ton of little garden statues but this one always makes me smile.

123/365 Stepping Stones (make your own #8)

These are stepping stones that go down the side of my parents beach house.

122/365 Pink

This was a pink azalea plant in front of my mom's beach house. The flowers were all blossomed it is a beautiful bush.

121/365 Fairs

Oh I am sooo behind :( With the warm weather I am trying to get out and do some yard work and keep up my biking so unfortunately this has taken a hit :( I have a ton of pictures I just need to post them so please scroll up and take a peek

This is my dad and Sean on a tilt a whirl at a local fair. I can't go on anything that spins so my dad was gracious to volunteer to take Sean and he had a great time :) Thanks dad!!

120/365 Legs

I set up my camera for my sister to take a picture of my husband and I and she thought it was hysterical that I stand on my toes when I take a photo with him. Well I am over a foot shorter than Chris so I kind of have to tip toe when I am wearing flats :( Anyway I thought this was cute when I was going through my photos so I thought I would share.

119/365 What's for Dinner

mmmm stuffed pork loin on the BBQ! This is my sister showing off her culinary skills! It really was fantastic!
