Happy Valentines

Happy Valentines day everyone. I am beginning to wonder if I'll only make a new post if there has been a holiday.

My LJ has been talking about Edible Arrangements for sometime now and he's finally gotten one, that he was willing to share.

We weren't able to take time off during the boy's Spring Break so we took our favorite Florida vacation a little early this year. Here are some highlights from the pool. While we were there, Good Morning America visited the same manatee park that we did. Since it was unseasonably cool, the manatee's migrate to a warm inlet in the park. Hopefully you'll see them all floating around. They are really like huge slugs that float to the top to stick their noses out of the water to get air and sink back down again.

Look at the air he's catching...... :-) Ciao

Merry Christmas..I'm back.

I can't believe it's been 2 months since I have posted last. No excuse is a good excuse, but truth be told, I've been busy on Facebook. With three boys to look after, my "free" time is limited and I've been chatting with long lost friends.

Over the weekend we traveled to visit my family and had an early Christmas. They had an ice storm the night before and it was beautiful. Of course that doesn't stop the kids. Uncle Todd gave them Rockets they just had to go blow off.

We made 3 stops in three days and here are a few of the highlights. As I post these I notice I only capture the kids or adults with the kids. I must start taking pictures of everyone. That just might be my New Years Resolution.

(His first Christmas present)

Here with R-man is his cousin from New York. They are only 14 days apart.My husbands Grandma just when into a nursing home so we stopped by for a visit. She just loves the kids. Poor thing (or fortunate) she would ask were we where, like she didn't realize it was her who lived there.

See you soon.

B-Day Party (the brief musical)

Grandparents' day Sub

I was chosen as a special friend to my niece while her Grandparents were on vacation. It was such a treat. The entire school day was dedicated to grandparents coming to different classes throughout the day, it was quite the ordeal.

My nieces teacher had a nice touch where the kids were to sing a song to us. It turned out to be a beautiful yet emotional song. As soon as it started, I thought I was going to have trouble keeping it together. It's a Bette Middler type song. Love Will Build a Bridge

As you'll see we didn't make it though the whole song. I guess I wasn't the only one who thought so.

First movie attempt...no bells...no whistles

As embarrassing as this is, it's a cute little video I made today.


At the beginning there are a few snapshots that will display with no sound. At the end, there is this woman talking ridiculous baby talk. You may want to mute your sound.

Bad Ike!

This has been my home away from home for the last 3 years. It's the new Wilson's complex that is Wilson's South, MAC soccor indoor and outdoor fields, the MAC pool and FIT (Females in Training) that I have come to love since I quit work. I spend at least 3 mornings a week hear and in the summer more time here than at my house.

Bad Ike!

It was hard to see it flood and hope they rebuild. I know Wilson's South isn't in jepordy, but FIT was housed in the old Club Woodrail and was older and quieter than the new facey gym and I loved it that way. Since it is only women, there is a chance they'd tell us to use the new facility with all it's pretty paint, state of the art equipment, beautily views and co-ed crowding. Who knows if it's worth insuring again.

I slept through most of the rain and it was on the way to church Sunday morning that I discovered it. I would have never guessed we got that much rain.
