Mr. Shades

So - my little E.J. is almost 10 months old.

Doesn't he just look adorable in Daddy's shades?

How is everyone's summer?

(sorry for the lack of updates - we have been super busy with the boys this summer. loads going on. I hope to update more toward fall. when preschool starts. lol.)

The Best of July

So. Me and my besties went to see the midnight showing of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II". Let me just say this: "It was AMAZING!". As I thought it would be. *winks*

We celebrated Roy's 4th birthday this past weekend! I can't believe my little boy is growing up so fast! When did that happen? lol. We had a lovely time. :)

I love my new favorite person - my 'cake lady'. *giggles* Her name is Megan Craig. She is local. She moved here from San Francisco. (not sure how to spell it. lol.) Everyone agreed, they had never tasted a better cake! So, well done Megan! ;)

Hope everyone is having a lovely SUMMER!

Cabin Weekend Retreat

So, this 4th of July, we rented a cabin with a few friends for 3 nights and 4 days.

It was....

BLISS.

E.J. enjoying his 4th 'get-up'. *smiles*


We all had a terrific time!

We visited Smoke Hole Caverns.

And finished the last night off with some pretty awesome fireworks!

We loved the sparklers!


HOW WAS YOUR FOURTH OF JULY?

(more pictures to come - in another post - stay tuned for Part II.)

Happy Father's Day (belated) Post

Daddy opening his card from R.A. & Edward. *smiles*

R.A. giving Daddy his gift to open up.


He got him a Willow Tree figurine for his 'Man Cave' or Office. *hee hee*

I got him a "Marriage Prayer" plaque from the Christian Bookstore.

Aren't these darling? These are the inviations that we sent out for R.A.'s 4th birthday party!

Hope you all are having a great week!

Happy Monday!

Walt Disney World Vacation: Part III

Epcot was a BLAST!

MMM...Lobster frittata - poached eggs, asparagus...need I say more?



The lovely carriage at the Grand Floridian - used for weddings.

R.A.'s Mickey Pancake with Mickey sprinkles!! Loved this!!

*sigh* What a beautiful sight! *smiles*

Walt Disney World Vacation: Part II

We visited Planet Hollywood in Downtown Disney - we loved it!

Ha! R.A. was so scared of King Louis - E.J. loved him, and Louis blew lots of kisses to him.


This was by far the weirdest thing we saw at Disney. Hands down. Pretty cool, huh?
(in case you can't tell, this is a woman, her face painted green...she would hide out by the bushes, then walk over and scare the living snot out of everyone! lol.)

R.A. loved the fishies!

R. and I loved the Animal Kingdom! Aside from me gashing my thumb open, and having to be sent to First Aid center in the theme park. Yeah, aside from THAT it was great! lol.

(no stitches needed thank the Lord, but it hurt so BAD!)

More pictures to come soon, with even MORE views from The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa and Walt Disney World. *smiles*

Walt Disney World Vacation Part I

It's official. Walt Disney World Resort was AMAZING!

You haven't truly experienced it...until you have stayed INSIDE the parks. Just sayin'.

Cinderella signing R.A.'s autograph book. *smiles*

Me and E.J. - poolside.

Caught a quick glimpse with the camera of this beautiful bird...before loading up on the boat to Magic Kingdom park.

Isn't the castle just breathtaking? *smiles*

More pictures to come. So many, so little time to upload. lol.

And by the way - the circumstance that has been killing me for 3 solid months - has come to a conclusion. A decision was made - all was put out on the table. And the Lord truly answered my prayers...in more ways than one. Continued prayers would certainly be appreciated, however, changes have already taken place and life has been pretty good...vacation was amazing...and now more than ever...I feel loved like never before. *squees*
