Bathing Beauties

Taking full advantage of the pool is my Lil man & 2 of his favorite girls, the Pressleys! He's learning to keep his water wings on, put on the inner tube & 'jump' off the top step into the water & wiggle furiously to spin himself... everyone slept well last night...

Think this is the Lil man? Think again! Look at the date on the side - yep, it's ME at 4! Scary huh?

Anniversary

4 years ago, I married my best friend - the guy who can one minute make me pull my hair out & the next, laugh my head off! Grilling out, dining out, laying out by the pool, drinking a good glass of wine or having friends over are many of the things we like to do together. Thanks honey for us never having a dull moment - to say the least... also for giving me a chance to be a step-mother to a beautiful, intelligent girl & mom to a wonderful little boy - not to mention having another on the way! Happy Anniversary to us!

Mother's Day Part 2

I tried to post this on Mother's Day & was having some issues.... so here it is, today!
Of course I have to mention my own mother - the lady that took me up my 1st tree - taught me patience is a virtue (I'm still working on that one) - you can catch more flies with honey - never burn your bridges - to always write thank-you notes - that you're always a mother, no matter how old your child is - that not everyone is as etiquette savy as we are & try not to judge them for it... ;) I could go on... I am always in awe of how she carries herself & how she thinks of everyone before herself - She is not only an amazing mom & example, but an inspiration. Love you mom!

Happy Mother's Day

We had a fun filled Mother's Day weekend! We started the weekend with a Family Day picnic at Hills & Dales Estate. Lil man liked to look at the horses, but not ride them - & he was REALLY surprised when one sneezed in his face! This is on our tour of the gardens, he LOVES to see water!

Next stop was church with Grandma Mell (aka Moe) & then to our favorite Mexican buffet at Los Nopales. Another stop at the water fountain too ;)

Then, I got to do my favorite pasttime, go to the movies with mom & see a total chick-flick 'Ghosts of Girlfriends Past' while Lil Man hung out with daddy at home. When I got back, I had this artwork waiting for me! Awwww.... love my guys too...

Chef BOY-ar-dee

After a week of being sick & barely eating, Lil man attacked his ravioli with a vengence last night! He's also got a habit of running his fingers through his hair, so he's also sporting a red, half-mohawk (I hope that's not a view to the future!)
