2nd Annual Nina Seiler Birthday Celebration - "Party like a Rockstar"

Here are just a few pictures from Nina's birthday party Friday night. As I already knew, I cannot party like I used to. I was exhausted and ready for bed at about 11:30, but managed to keep on truckin till about 1:30. Whew! P.S. Me and the girls were the Spice Girls.

A great article...

This article is an incredible story of a father and his son who has Prader-Willi Syndrome, which is what my brother, Klint, has. So many of the everyday struggles they have are so familiar. It really makes me miss Klint and realize what a crappy sister I am. I will do better. It also makes me want to do something that gives back more than what I do now.

Friends are friends forever.......

Towards the end of the evening, we let Bagel in because she doesn't like hearing fireworks (nor does Darcy). When she comes in, she lays right on the mat in front of the door and rarely moves. Well, finally Lorelai was able to pin her down and love on her. At one time Lorelai was laying on Bagel, then sitting on her, but she moves pretty fast so I couldn't get all the shots. I'm shocked Bagel just laid there! Friends for life!

Couple more pictures

4th of July Collins Family Shindig Plus a few friends!

We had a big time Saturday for the 4th. Some of Clint's family came over and Caroline, Lorelai and her dad Drew, and Vincent came over. Plus Mike Gordon, a friend of Clint's and ex-husband of Natalie, Clint's cousin. Of course Natalie and Lily (her and Mike's daughter) were there, as well as Natalie's boyfriend, Todd. I know what you're thinking - what? Yeah I did too but they are friends. I can't quite imagine something like that working with me and Clint if one of our exes were around us, but whatev! I'm glad they get along so well. I tried to snap pics of who I could, but as you will notice there are none of me. Like I was going to take a picture in my bathing suit!! And not everyone is accounted for in the pictures either. Not everyone really cared to have their picture taken, as you can see by Sarah's expression in the picture of her and Chris. Sorry yall, but I had to have some memories captured!
