Sweet Pooka

This was by far one of the best 4ths in a long time!! Surrounded by family and good friends and tons of delicious food!! Really enjoyed all the kiddos (there were plenty) and spending time with my sis.

Let's Play Catch-Up

Protect The Dream

Well...my hubby has joined/formed a Rock Band and is working on being signed to a record label....this all started from a silly contest at the Porterville Fair.

Drew is an amazing singer and musician and their demo is out of control!

  Letting Go

First Class

I am trying not to completely freak out but the same thoughts keep coming back...this is his Dream...he has wanted this since he was a kid...Let's do this!!

Sleeping Gavey

Cram the Man

For as long as I can recall, my family has gone the Sunday before Memorial Day to Exeter Cemetery then Porterville Cemetery to decorate family graves. My Grandpa Darris always insisted on bringing both plastic flowers and potted flowers. He also insisted on Sunday because then everyone would see our family had already been and decorated. Last year when we made the trip Grandpa had just left us a month before and it was very bittersweet without him. This year there were several unexpected obstacles in our way but we made it. I want my boys to understand why we have this tradition in our family and to have stories to tell of cousins and photos taken at "the graves."

Gavey

Oh Gavin. My baby. My wild man. I rarely have a clue what Gavin is up to. Since the day he was born Gavin Carl Eugene Harness has done exactly what he wanted. He is always "up to" something. He tells stories about things he couldn't have possibly done but wants everyone to play along. He is the first to hug and in the next breath is ready to punch. He wants to do exactly what Cameron does but with his very own twist. Gavey makes everyone laugh. When he finally knocks out after a long day of work, he snuggles into me and I breath in deep his sweet baby-boy smell.

Cameron

My middle child. I know its not "cool" to label children, but it is what it is...Cameron my darling boy, loving, kind, energetic, funny, silly, intense, quick to laugh and quick to cry. Cameron is taking school by the horns and proving to be not only a superb student but also a good citizen. Friend to all. Cameron is on the go and then when he's done he curls up with his Mom and crashes. Many interesting posts will be made about Cameron I am sure.

Jake

This is my oldest son Jake. I tease he is my favorite. I think I feel that way sometimes because he is grown and because he makes me so proud. He knows what he wants a gets it. He is far and away cooler than I ever could have thought of being. He is intelligent and hilarious and opinionated and full of himself. I simply adore him and wait in anticipation of what comes next.
