Replica of a drink from a restaurant.

Nurse Roberta at the Sarcoma Foundation of America benefit. She is amazing!

Fellow sarcoma survivor Kennedy.

My hero Dr. Boland. Beyond grateful for his role in saving my life and putting things into perspective.

When your mom is a nut you embrace your heritage. 

I wish he had sat there all day lol

Memorial weekend picnic with some of his basketball team and the team younger.

Paddle boating and splashing in Locust Shade.

He is huge.

When you dyed your hair and now it is soooo long. I think he looks like the Lorax when he swims.


Made him take a soccer practice picture. Friday night under the lights. 

Undefeated season for the Electric Donuts. Two awesome coaches Coach Curtis and Coach Flores. I will never forget the Friday night at 7:30 when we showed up for practice and Boyd was the only one.  It started down pouring and was chilly and Coach Curtis stayed and worked him out. They had a blast and Boyd put what they practiced into the next series of games. Coaches who go above and beyond hold a special place in my heart.

"Mom I am so much more efficient at this now"

White chocolate bunny for the win!

"Mom, I;m getting too old for this (only when it required looking low)."

Picture perfect clouds on our walk back home from church.

"Mom these look like clouds from a screen or a video game"


Love this guy! After church we went to the driving range and fish pond, and rested. Today Boyd had the day off but I didn't so he was my helper.
