Mom's participating in a monthly challenge of taking 12 photos on each 12th of the month. Here's this month's excitement.

More than a bucket full

My brother came to visit today in our muddy backyard. I'll let him tell the story from here.



Because I'm the President, I get some privileges like hanging out.


Like a good body rub from mom.


Just another good time playing with Violet Mae


And I run amuck with the neighborhood dogs against the fence.


What????? It's just alittle dirt. Dad says he'll need more than a bucket full of water to clean me up...BOL


You want to do what? Hose me off? I'm the President alert my team,...I'm outta here.


Oh Lordy...is anyone looking? Do we have to do this in the FRONT of the house. I get no respect around here.....


Well, I guess this is man's work.


yes Dad please clean up the beard I don't want any dirt in my water bowl.


Seriously???? I wasn't THAT muddy!!!!!


Alittle to the left please......


I'm looking good! Back to looking Presidential....

Uncle Chuck

My Uncle Chuck died today after a valiant fight against lung cancer.

Uncle Chuck was my Godfather along with Aunt June(Godmother). He was one of the biggest chatterboxes I've ever know, and boy could he tell a story!

Uncle Chuck would regal us children of the 70's with ghost stories, in the dark, outside. It was great! As he had all of our attention, my Grandpop (his dad) would jump out of the bushes and scare the bejesus out of us!!!!! And we loved it, knew it was coming and loved it anyway!

I am truly honored to have known him. My dad lost a wonderful brother today.

But now Uncle Chuck has some new people to tell his stories to up in heaven.


From the left Aunt June, Uncle Chuck, Me, Matt, MaryAnn, Dad the week before Matt and I were married in Hawaii 2003.

OH Nothing to do on this lovely day......I'm so bored....



But wait! I have a visitor for the WHOLE entire day? Awesome!


My brother Lion Quincey is here for a playdate! Isn't he so handsome?


Remember Bad Cuz? Well, Bad Cuz got thrown around alot.


I'm trying to pull a "Wyatt" and bury Bad Cuz.


Q Bear likes his BLUE Bad Cuz, but he put up with my Red one.


He's bigger than me but I've got moves!


Airbutts! BOL!


I'm totally enjoying the day!


That's HIS stick.


Good Lord now I need a nap!

Winter Blues

Matthew 20

Can't believe my Godson is 2-0! Here we are on his 1st birthday playing peek a boo and he's cheating!


So we celebrated Matthew's 20th birthday and had another Circle Dinner! (Steve-LM's boyfriend, Lisamarie, Lexie- matthew's girlfriend, Matthew and Daniel)


All the men had a good competitive time. The bearded one is my youngest brother, the others are Matt and brothers in law. We have wonderful BIL - they realize the Cahill girls come with cameras and people. They understand the process of posing and meeting new people. I love them!


See, they'll do anything....we ask...


Matt puts his bowling face on. As usual he's good an any sport.


This is my younger sister Shelly, Mom to Matthew. She's usually a reserved person, but I've learned over the years to take continuous shots and you'll eventually get a good one. Just like when I take pictures of Violet Mae - LOL!


Another example of using the continuous speed on your camera. My nephew Daniel, and his mom horsing around.


To me these are better than posed shots.


The whole gang minus a brother in Montana and Dad and MaryAnn.
