Mother's Day -2009

What do you want to do today? It's Mother's Day.
GO TO THE BEACH
Do you want to take the kayaks?
HECK YA!
(I got the picnic packed and we were on our way :)



We have the "sunscreen shine" going!


Collin took a friend and he and Alex fought the waves all day. I'm sure they slept well. The surf was rough and they played all day!

"Orange Blossoms" Line Dancers

Fun times with friends here in Orange County---we are the Orange County LINE DANCERS! How fun is that? Last night we went to Larry's French Market --what a fun place! Live band, good food, great friends, and fun line dancin'. Husbands go to watch for "cheap entertainment". HA
My friend ordered our new shirts with some "blink" on them.

Cinco De Mayo..TAKS ...and Summer Countdown!

All these proved to be perfect reasons to have a teacher/friend get together yesterday. Several friends came over yesterday afternoon to "chill out" ---eat----sit by the pool-----and just unwind. How fun was that? Really fun. It's a definite "do again" thing.

TAKS testing was over last week for teachers and students...we have only 17 days until school is out and "why not?" Cinco de Mayo..............

Are we getting older? Or is time just going by faster?

A little of both........ getting older, yes. Time flying by faster......yes.

We can't believe that it's been 18 years since we said "I do". Wow. In some ways...so much has happened during the course of the years it does seem like 18 years...however, it also seems like yesterday that we were living in Dayton. A move, a job change, the birth of Collin, new pets, several hurricanes, high school graduations for the girls............. a lot of water under the bridge. I love growing older with my best friend!

We ate one of our favorite sandwich places in Lake Charles for our "anniversary dinner" Monday. Jerry couldn't believe that I wanted to go to Darrells. They have the most amazing roast beef sandwiches on these buttery, crusty rolls and jalepeno mayo. Can you tell that Paula Deen and I would get along beautifully????

May 4, 1991 to May 4, 2009----#18

Happy Anniversary to Us...Happy Anniversary to Us! We had a great weekend getaway to Houston this weekend. Stayed at a new, interesting hotel in the Galleria area - Hotel Indigo-. ---very tropical, very Caribbean...unique. It was a great way to "pretend" we were more than 100 miles away from home.

67 to 32!!

Okay- I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself. My Wiifit age is now 32 :) I know, I know....I'll have to take it back soon as the age will probably go up and up and up and up! Cheers for the "good feelin'" just for alittle while.
