Happy Belated Birthday

Happy Birthday Jimmy! Sorry I'm late but I hope you had a wonderful day and weekend of celebration :)

Warning: Picture Overload!

Well, someone requested more pictures from vacation so...Mom, this is for you :) These are definitely in random order. Sorry!

Extreme emotional difference :)

Chillaxin'

Absolutely love this picture of Hannah...looks like she's chillin' on the couch with the remote!

My aunt and uncle came over and visited with us today. They also brought my cousins two little boys with them. It was so nice to see them all again.

Uncle Rodney and Andrew (he's one day older than Hannah)

Ethan was my little buddy...wore me out chasing him around the decks outside :)

This evening we went and played mini-golf. I actually won!!! That is definitely a first!! Here a few pictures from a very fun evening

Dad trying out his Arnold Palmer pose...he almost fell over! :)

Jimmy taking a seat...hope he doesn't ignite the box! haha

Vacation!!!

Sorry for the lack of posting recently...no real reason, just laziness I guess :) I am so happy to be on vacation now! Here is what I've been doing so far...

A lil' bit of air hockey and pool

a lotta pin ball

learnin' how to play BlackJack

Breakfast at the Apple Barn...of course!

and lovin' the view from our cabin!!

Another Day Off :)

Yesterday morning I had to report to the Warren County Courthouse for jury duty. I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to actually be on the jury...I was an alternate and then the defendant decided not to show up for his trial! Oops...too bad for him :) So I had the rest of the day off! Yay! I decided to try and get a few things accomplished...first off I got my new bedding set all together

Jax doesn't seem to understand that he's supposed to be completely on his bed...not my comforter :)

Got my curtains up (including the curtain rod)

I had originally bought a curtain rod that braced itself inside the window frame...no screws/holes in the wall...sounded perfect. Unfortunately I hadn't measured how big the window was and it was too short! So I had to go back to the store and get a different one. Of course there wasn't one long enough like that so I had to get my drill out last night and put this one up!

I also bought new windshield wipers, got Dad to replace my headlight, did some laundry, went to Curves...and I think thats about it :)

I also had this picture on my camera...it is from last Tuesday on my way home from work. Can you tell where I was? BTW...my car wasn't moving when I took the picture! :)

Snow Day!

A rare thing happened today...work was closed! First time in at least three years for winter weather! I have thoroughly enjoyed being at home and lazy all day; however, I am getting bored and will be ready to go back tomorrow :) Here are a few pictures that I took from our balcony.

This one is actually from last year. I would have taken a new one of Jax but I took him out w/out his leash on and he ran around the back of the building. I was worried that he would try to chase the ducks and fall through the ice into the pond so I didn't get any of him :)

One of the many pine trees around here

You can't even tell where the pond begins!

If you look closely you can see the ducks in the small part of the pond that isn't frozen :)

Dad's Birthday

...was last Wednesday and we celebrated on Saturday with breakfast at the Original Pancake House...I've heard the have the best maple syrup around :) Saturday evening we had dinner, cake & ice cream and gave him his gift. We all went together and got him tickets to the Gaither Homecoming that is in March. Instead of giving him them in a card...

looking like something is going to jump out and bite him :)

...we made "The Ultimate Concert-Goers Practice Kit"

Complete with microphone and lighter!

a closer look...candy, popcorn, peanuts, soda, glow bracelets, mic, harmonica, kazoo, lighter and of course a Gaither DVD w/ the tickets inside :)

with an information label :)

On to dinner...we had wings from Buffalo Wild Wings...yummy!! along w/ pasta salad, cheeseball, green beens and veggies

Finished off with a yummy cake that Ashlee made and Erika decorated...I posted a side shot so you could see the wonderful job she did...all the way down to around the plate!

Trying to help Papaw blow out the candles

Not really liking the icing on her finger :)
