Birthday Celebration No. 2

Sunday, we had a small cook out to celebrate Maddock’s 1st Birthday with family and friends. Everyone seemed to have a good time. The kids fully enjoyed their goodie boxes, especially the “grills” Lee picked out.





The kids gave me some silly poses showing off those VERY shiny grills...

Maddock did not participate in the grill wearing but he did participate in some cake wearing...











I do believe he enjoyed the gifts the most... Thank you everyone!

Cake Anyone?


1st Birthday Celebration No. 1

Tonight we celebrated Maddock’s 1st Birthday with Daddy, McKinlee and myself. As you can see below someone fully enjoyed every bit of his birthday cake. Only one thing to add, YES he is still blue today…

Happy 1st Birthday!

Its official at 9:09 a.m. this morning munchkin is 1 year old today. I was able to snap a few shots this morning in his crib waking up so they aren’t that great … I will have plenty more messy photos from cake later :)~
Munchkin on the Move…

Maddock started walking on his own two weekends ago and I was finally able to catch him in the act. The video isn’t the greatest but it’s the best I get can at this time…


Look at my Garden grow…

Before school ended McKinlee was learning about plants/flowers and how they grow. So needless to say my son asked actually “begged” to grow his own garden. Seriously he wanted nothing more than to grow watermelon. He said to me, “mommy I want to grow watermelons for us so you don’t have to buy them anymore.” Very sweet, so Lee took the boys one night to Home Depot and bought some vegetable plants and YES two watermelon plants. I hate to say this – the watermelon plants aren’t doing so well. In learning all about how plants and flowers grow, he also learned that when you plant seeds, water them and lots of sunlight they too will grow. So while at Home Depot, McKinlee wanted string bean plants – Sorry – Green Bean seeds. So now we have lots of green bean plants growing. Have a look below – McKinlee is very proud of HIS garden! (Thanks for your help Daddy!)

He Said He Wanted to Ride...

Today I'm writing a short story... My best friend back home as twins :) Alyssa and Justin turning 2 on July 1, this past weekend they decided to go to the shore "Point Pleasant" for the day with the kids. Well down at Point Pleasant beach there is an area called "Jacobsons' Boardwalk" where they have a ride area.

Angie and Dennis decided to take a walk through with the kids only to stumble upon the Fire Truck ride. Which Justin wanted to go on... so mom and dad proceeded to put him on, Alyssa declined the ride. This is the outcome of the ride on the Fire Trucks...



In any other situation I would most likely have said to mom and dad, gee do you get enjoyment out of torturing your child, but in this case.... He Said He Wanted to Go on the Ride...
My Boy is WHITE!
The Next Top Model? Or Maybe Not?

I could not have asked for two better looking kids...


McKinlee apparently thinks he is "The Next Top Model"


Maddock he just loves to show off and have a good time, wanna take a walk with me?

Presidential Election?

So let's just talk for a minute about my thoughts on the coming up presidential election...


Everywhere I look these days I see stickers, signs, notes, banners, etc

. Obama '08, Clinton '08, McCain '08 and ONLY one bothers me more then any other. Seeing an OBAMA '08 sticker on a vehicle, blog, or anything at all for that matter that is owned by a white person, this infuriates me to no end. Why you ask, well let's think about this. A black person as president at this point in the economy... HELLLOOOOO are you all out of your friggin' mind?!?!?!!?! What is wrong with you people, are you that stupid and have your eyes glazed over that much that you think this black man is gonna step in and help us -- the white folks?? YOUR LOSING YOUR MARBLES PEOPLE. WAKE UP!!! Have you not been watching, reading or listening to what the rest of this country has been... Obama is a liar! a fake! a biased ass! You idiots might as well go to the store and buy your shoe polish now, because the only way he is helping you, is if your skin color matches his.

I have one question to ask, and if anyone out there can answer this for me, I would be grateful -- but I do NOT want the answer -- "Because I have the right to vote and support for whomever I want" that is NOT an answer. Why if you are white would you vote for a black man over a white women that has already done the job and did pretty good job the last time.

AND for the record I'm voting for McCain (http://www.johnmccain.com/) but please people, if you are white and you are a Democrat don't be stupid people vote with your heads!!! CLINTON '08!
