Stink's Birthday Celebration Begins....

Had a little cake issue...when I went to pick up Stink at school, ( with balloons tied to the car no less), he had a friend with him that I had not planned on taking home....the cake was in a bag on the floor of the back seat....big boy with big backpack collided with cake.....
We did the best we could, and Stink did not mind.
Aaaaahhh yes.....the presentation of the sword....this is a BIG deal. Big B's Dad got this during the World War II and after he died when Big B was only 11 he inherited it. This is a precious thing to Big B...he decided that it was time to pass it to his son....Stink was FLOORED he has asked for this sword since he was little. Tyler said he will pass it on to his own son someday..... So sweet of Big B and so meaningful. I have the BEST husband.
Tyler promptly cut his cake...........notice the "Ipood" t shirt....that's my boy
Licking the frosting from the candles.....this birthday thing had started off pretty darn good!
Tomorrow prepare yourself for Part II. We took Stink and 4 of his friends to "Lampu".....many more pics to follow.....

April is BIRTHDAY month in this house....

Big B's birthday is on April 7th, I'm the 21st and Big T also known as "the stink" is TODAY!!!

It's a whirlwind of birthday fun and excitement......

Needless to say I cried on mine, turning 49 was a bit of a revelation for me...I'm old. Ha!

The pic above was taken on my big day. tonight we are taking Stink and his friends to his fav restaurant...pics to follow.....

I'm afraid...very afraid.....

I have a fear of two major things.......





Water Moccasins and

Alligators

So why we live on a lake in Central Florida makes no sense at all.....

This may be our new home...we just have to sell our house first....
Can you believe this kitchen??It is GIGANTIC..BIGGER THAN BIG!!!
Master bedroom has it's own fireplace....
Covered screened patio overlooks pool
nice pool......

hope it happens....I like this house!Keep your fingers crossed!!!

I hope you had an awesome and productive weekend. I spent the last two days working on Tyler's high school football website.....and dreaming of our hopefully new home....

If it's meant to be it'll happen!

O-town Lunch, Mom's getting better!

Had to take a quick trip down to Orlando yesterday to take Mom to the Dr.. He said she is doing pretty good considering it's only been a few weeks since her heart attack. My sis , Cass from over at Mockingbird Hill met us for a quick lunch. We live about an hour North of Orlando and Cass lives in Orlando so whenever we go down we meet up. Never pass up a reason to eat right?!

Guilty Mama. Cool Aids Crab Shack

It's Spring break here in Central Florida and I have not spent ONE MINUTE of it with my child...I am feeling sooooooooooooo guilty. Let me fill you in on a little history first...I decided in May of 2006 to open my own real estate brokerage, sounds good right? Not really, the market promptly began to tank and well I am sure you all know the rest of the story. Leave it to me to do this at this time...like it isn't hard enough....anyway, though the office has steadily grown and I am thankful to have many wonderfual agents working for me. I am however working harder than I want to be. My health,family,finances, and sanity are all suffering and I am feeling so badly about it. I am too far in to quit and just have to keep going. But, during times like this when I would normally have planned a vacation or fun time with Tyler , I have had to work the entire week because my main employee had jury duty...another example of excellent timing!!! Well, I was feeling so bad about it all when I came home tonight I asked Big T where he would like to go, well, he loves garlic crabs...ew....so we went to this place called COOL AIDS CRAB SHACK......no kidding, that's the name...
He had a ball and ate sooooo much food, it was really good.
After that, off to the big ice cream cone...
Even Big B got in the act.....yum!
Big T was happy, I feel kinda sorta better but still guilty....
Hopefully this will all turn around soon....
Well, I am just Little Miss Happy aren't I????
Hormones or stress....you decide....
I am gonna go spread my sunshine somewhere else...
