Reflections....

Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday to me.


I just thought I would go back and think about what I did this year....

My baby turned 5!
I became a mother of a teenager!
Came very close to killing people at Nutcracker!
I stayed out in the freezing cold for Christmas presents!
Got a new Baby Cappuccino!
Had the most relaxing vacation of my life in Turks & Caicos!
Kicked butt in Egg Schiessing!
Played sports Mom and watched Adam's track meets. In the coldest spring ever! I also watch him run cross country ! Yes I would see him for about a minute then he would disappear off into the woods!
Finished another year of Home schooling! (Praise the Lord). Was not sure that they were going to make it but not only did they finish they lived and I think they are a bit smarter.
Remodeled a Kitchen (I know you all want to see and hear how it turned out) (I'll get to it someday)
Hosted 13 girls from TCI and 2 from Maryland. I housed 10 + 1 Chaperone and 2 babies.
Took them all to NYC with Barbara
Made MoHEATtoes.
Had way too much fun with Widget
Randomly jumped into pools
Did not kill Frick and Frack!
Had a major meltdown at the Mann!
Saw my favorite ballet SWAN LAKE
Survived the 3 weeks with all the kiddos
Drove to Massachusetts 4 times!
Went to Six Flags
GOT EZ- PASS!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Relaxed for a bit
Had a great pre b-day dinner with Barbara, Mark, Snusan, and family at Sang-kee! YUMMY! Thanks Barbara & Mark!
Came home to watch TV and got lucky that they were showing PETER GABRIEL IN CONCERT on TV! How cool is that!
But most importantly this year I laughed! and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed!

Thanks to all my Family and Friends who have been there with me and for me! You made it a great year to remember!

Austin got shoes!

Happy Birthday Austin!




We had a small family party and went to see a the movie "Underdog" . It was fun.





As for presents...He got "white bread" (ask Adam) & SHOES!







MEET SHOES THE FISH

Is this God's way of try to get me to understand my Mother?

As a child/teen my Mother would complain about my hair. I have a lot of it and I would shed! My hair was everywhere. Once I even found it in the freezer!
Don't ask!?











But God having a sense of humor.......

What did my boys do??

The boys got to go on a great all MALE fishing trip! They went to a lake in Kentucky! The rented houseboats and fished with their cousins and uncles and Dad and Pop-Pop! They had fun and here are some pics. You will not see any photos of fish though because no fish were harmed duing the making of the male bonding time. (no one caught a thing!)
