Another Mothers Day post

Every Mothers Day we take pics of everyone and their kids. This year was no different. I dont think anyone looks forward to Aunt Angie pulling out her camera and making the sit around and take pictures. My sisters even questioned me on why I was sitting them in the order I sat them in. Well this is how we sit every year. DUH! Cant mess with perfection!

From left to right starting at the back row: ME :), Christine (sister), Tonya (sister). Front row: My momma, Beck (sister), and Kim (sister in law)

My sister Tonya and my niece Brooke. Oh how she has grown! She is 17 now and it seems like just yesterday that she was a baby! She is a junior in high school and has her learning permit. Of course we all would like to keep her off the road for now. She isnt real good out there yet lol.

My sister Christine, my niece Mariah, and my nephew Jeremiah. Again these 2 have grown up so fast!! I still call my niec Riah butt. I think I will call her that on her wedding day lol. And Jeremiah is such a lover. He always wants to hug everyone! AND never will pose for pictures so this is one time of year that he doesnt cover his face!!




My sister Rebecca and her son Jace. What can I say about Jace. Hmmmm, he is definitely the handful of the bunch to put it nicely. I dont even know what else to say lol.

Me, my daughter Chantelle and my son Austin. Chantelle has grown up to be a beautiful young lady. She is now 16, will be 17 soon. She has grown to stand 6ft tall. Yes I have to look up at my own daughter lol. She will be taking her driving test on Friday to get her license. YIKES is all I can say about that. No really, she is a good driver. She even has her boat license. Yes she can drive a boat legally but not a car lol. Oh and Austin. 12 years ago that little man was born 14 weeks early weighing 2lbs 6ozs. He literally fit in the palm of your hand. It was by far the scariest time in my life. Not knowing whether your child was going to live through another day. But he is growing up so fast now. Before long they will both be adults! YIKES!

I hope everyone had a GREAT Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day!

Another Mothers Day has almost passed. I hope every mother out there had a fantastic day! And like everyone I think that my mom is the GREATEST! She is always there for us no matter what. This is the card I made for her to go along with her gift. She is getting a pool installed this week and is really looking forward to everyone coming out and having sitting poolside sipping on margaritas. So I gave her a couple margarita glasses that I bought in Florida. I believed she loved them. :) AND to make this card I broke out a SU set that I bought that last year and have never used! So be proud of me all you stampers!

Its been SOOOOO long!

Its been so long since I have made anything!!!!!!!!!!! But I finally got my little stamping away halfway set up. Enough that I could sit down and throw a card together. I used a Bella that was sent to me. I colored her with my copics. Its been FOREVER since I have pulled the Copics out! Everything else on the card is from PaperTrey. Love my PTI!

More pictures from Florida

Just sharing some more pictures from Florida. This was such a fun trip and I cant wait to go back. Although next time we will definitely fly. It was the longest car ride ever! When driving to Florida you dont ever think you will get through the state of Georgia. It is the longest state ever lol!

This picture was taken standing on a pier at Cocoa Beach



I just have to laugh everytime I look at this picture. This was our waitress at one of the resturants we went to by the ocean. This gal had the hots for Les. It was crazy how much she was flirting with him.

The Disney cruise ship. That would be fun to go on!

Just a boat out on the Banana River



And sea turtles. SO cute just swimming around.

First time in Florida and seeing the ocean

Peacocks in the middle of the street? A little odd

Les and I standing on a pier at Banana River

Just a view of the ocean from the pier

One would think that at the age of 35 I would have seen the ocean by now. But alas I had not. That is until Dec 2010. Les and I took a trip to see his uncle in Cocoa, Fl. The weather was decent all week but on this particular day it was kind of overcast and chilly by the water. Les didnt want to walk to the water to get our picture taken but there was no way I was not getting my pic taken at the water so I made him suck it up and do it. After the pic was taken I walked into the water so I could say that I had been in the ocean. You cant visit the ocean for the first time and NOT go in the water right? It was really cold but thats OK. :)

The picture below was taken in Cocoa Beach FL

New England Patriots Week 3

Awwwww week 3 of the New England Patriots. This is so my favorite time of the year. Cool temps, hoodies, bonfires, hayrides, Halloween, and FOOTBALL! Tomorrow the Patriots take on the Buffalo Bills. Although it should be a shoe in that the Pats win, you just never know. Last week they lost to the Jets. Blahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Lets hope for a win tomorrow!!

Finally!!! Football Season is BACK!!

oh my!! We have waited and waited and waited for this glorious day where the NFL is back!! Excuse me if I am busy every Sunday from now until the Super Bowl! :) Today the Patriots play the Bengals at home. Hopefully they will have victory! And you will all be happy to know that Tom Brady signed his contract extension and will now be the Patriots quarterback until the 2014 season! What great news, right?! I think so. Now I must go get the cleaning done because in 2.5 hrs football is on! Go Pats!!!
