Happy 9th Birthday...

Wow!! Nine year's have flown by faster than I can even begin to explain. Just going back through pictures brings tears to my eyes. I love you more than you can imagine, more than words could express. I hope as time continues to pass us by... you will always know how much you mean to me and how proud I am of the person you have become.

Happy Birthday!!

No longer a D-Mom Chat Virgin!!!

This was a long, busy weekend to say the least. Holiday weekend and the last weekend before my "little angels" went back to school.
.

Here's the "short version"...

.

Thursday: HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!!!! We had a group of great friends over to help us celebrate. We DID make it to midnight (woo hoo). I had my camera out to take a few pics to share, but somewhere between the Sweet Tea Vodka and the "F"ed up Uno... I forgot.

.

Friday: Our plans were canceled because my sister in law got sick. HOWEVER, we did not complain because the yucky rainy weather was a great excuse to stay in. Besides... the hubby had a headache (hmm ~ wonder if he got it from his "friend" Jack Daniels?)
.

Saturday: I was put to work. The tree came down, the outside Christmas lights came down, it was all packed up and the holiday 20 boxes and bins went back into the attic until next year.

AGAIN... I forgot to take pics of the house and tree.

.

Sunday: oh Sunday... I was a church slacker(she says ashamed). So I watched me some church online.. it was live! (who knew?)

.

Anthony on the other hand started on the loft bed. Justin wants it for his birthday and we decoded to build it. THE PLAN is that it will be completely suspended except for the 1 post on the outside corner. This was in lieu of a cable going into my ceiling. (Thank you Bob Villa)

Here he is cutting wood...

While daddy was occupied... the kids and I got ready and for some reason allowed my friend to drag us out to the Manatee viewing site. I'm sorry... I was born and raised in Florida and it is FREAKIN COLD out there right now!

.

Either way we went. This pic obviously shows my excitement...

We were all bundled up but still complaining "IT'S COLD"!!

Notice the not so thrilled look on Justin's face...

OOOH~ your face is warm.... warm my hands please.... what a friend!

You really couldn't see the Manatees in the picture I took, but the sharks and stingrays but on quite a show for us...

Before we left... we stopped in the Manatee museum to defrost.

We headed home via Sonic for my LAST route 44 diet vanilla coke. (I miss them already)

I scurried along to cook dinner and get the angels in bed before 9:00. (most of you know why)

It's because up until last night I was a D-Mom chat virgin... WELL NOT NO MORE!!!

How fun was that? SUPER FUN!!! You all are NUTS! In a good nutty way of course.

I am glad I was able to join in the fun... I've been missing out.

.

So on that note... all I have to say is: D- Moms ROCK!!!

.

Happy Monday!

Happy 2010!!

Here's to a new year full of love, peace, happiness and cures :)

Happy 2010 EVERYONE!!!
