Oldroyd Family Life and Times of an Oldroyd

My mom is dying. I will miss her.

The wood and metal babee-tenda circa 1970. It certainly wouldn’t make it past legal these days. How did we ever grow up without losing fingers, hands, eyes, etc.?

Parker and I went on a bike ride to go help a new family move in and on the way home Parker was show-boating a bit on his bike. He twisted the handlebars and went down hard. It was originally a 6-bandaid event, but when one above his eye didn’t want to stop bleeding Kris took him to the instacare and we ended up with bandaids AND superglue. Parker is a tough kid but still this had to hurt a bit.

Later in the day we went to Mom’s and helped her clean out some things from the basement and then did a little slip-n-slide action. The kids had a good time. I’m glad to be able to help Mom and Dad out a bit.

Owner of this bug looks to be over 80. He and his wife are cute.
Happy Independence Day!

A little patriotism is a good thing. We were at the “Murray Fun Days” parade to watch Cassidy walk in the parade and the first float handed out American Flags. I love our country and am glad to be a part of it. God Bless America!

Greasy Mexican restaurant phone. Stopped at La Frontera in a seedy part of town after Lexi’s theater school performance.

Cassy loves me. Rawr!

It was the hottest day of the year so far – 95 degrees, and how does Abbi finally go to sleep, on our floor with a winter parka on. I don’t even know where she found it. We have weird kids.

And that cat will stay out for the night… Cat wouldn’t come in last night so he wanted back in pretty badly.

Morning beams create a myriad of lines. Loved it.
