Relax

Sorry - I've been behind on posting here. I'll try to keep up a little better. :-) Mostly I've been on Tabblo so if you still wanna see what's going on you can always bookmark my spot there and check out my photos. The kiddos are out of school now and so I'm busy trying to keep them entertained along w/running back and forth for TBall games!

Big Hitter


JT is playing TBall this season and I took a few posed shots before his game last Saturday. Looks like a "Big Hitter" doesn't he!

Tabblo: Turning 2!

Joey turned 2 years old last week!  His actual birthday was early last week and so we had a small celebration at home.  His big party was yesterday (that'll have it's own tabblo) and so we had homeade pizzas and homeade yellow cake w/real cream cheese icing (not that stuff from the can) it was the real deal!.  I can't believe this precious boy is already two - he's getting too big, too fast for momma.  I love the last few pics of the two boys eating the cupcakes and being silly.  Just such sweet innocence.  ...

Looking Back



Tabblo: Scoop!

These photos were taken last May 2006 when we did some work on our property.  Jimmy was on cloud 9 this day b/c he got to help drive the big "Scoop" with Dad.  For those of you that don't know - "Scoop" is the name of the backhoe on the popular kids cartoon Bob the Builder.  Jimmy was very impressed that Scoop was actually at his very own house.  At first he was terrified of the big beast of a machine but after much coaxing by Dad he finally agreed to climb aboard and then we couldn't get him off!


Jimmy saw these pics again this week and has wanted to look at them over and over so I made this Tabblo just for him - I'm planning to poster this one for his room!

Tabblo: Caboose

The boys had a blast rambling around this old caboose - Jimmy is still talking about it this morning.  After playing on the caboose we went to two playgrounds to play some more!  Nothing like a little outdoor fun on Spring Break!

Tabblo: 4 Yr Old T-Ball Practice

I have to say this was a sight to behold!  10 little 4yr olds learing the basics of baseball is really quite humerous.  We practice twice a week, and this is the third practice.  I finally had a chance to attend this one since it was on a Sat morning instead of at 6pm which meant I didn't have to stay home to put lil brother, Joey to bed.  The coaches really have to work hard at trying to keep everyone's attention - especially when it comes to fielding the ball after one of the kids has batted.  I'm hoping to get up a little closer for some better shots this week.  I was trying to stay out of the way and not be too much of a distraction and so some of these are a little farther away than I wanted but I think I still got a few good ones!  Can't wait till our first game in two weeks!

Tabblo: I've Been Busy!

Welcome Spring!


The weather has been gorgeous the last two weeks!  I've been out of the house and in my yard nearly every day.  Cutting back trees and bushes & I've been laying out new flower beds & rearranging old ones.  Shoveling out fresh mulch and planting some bulbs (hostas, elephant ears, bleeding heart etc...)for the spring.  Gardening is one of my passions and so I'm totally stoked that Spring is nearly here.  Each day I walk my yard looking for little green shoots of perrennials to start peeking up and checking all of my trees and azealeas for buds to start bloming out.  If you don't see any Tabblos from me don't worry - I'm just outdoors these days!  I'm planning to try and capture each stage of my flowers/gardens so that you can see how things are progressing!  Yahoooo for warm weather and sunshine!

Tabblo: Super Silliness!

My Mom brought my son home w/a brand new box of FLOAM last weekend after their day together.  Jimmy was WAY excited as he's been asking me for this stuff nearly every time we are at the store.  Guess he's been watching too many commercials on Nick Jr and Noggin!

Tabblo: Pajamas and T-Ball Practice

Nothing like a good game of T-Ball in your PJ's and boots!  These were taken back in October when it was still warm enough to get out and goof off.  Ahhh what fun!

Tabblo: Somebody's Gonna Win!

A Day At The Races!


I took Hubby to the races over the weekend for a little birthday surprise!  Sunday we played the ponies and then stayed at a wonderful bed and breakfast on the lake.    I didn't take my new SLR b/c it's so heavy and I didn't want to lose it so all these shots are w/my little Olympus Camedia.  (It easily fits in my purse and wasn't to heavy to tote around all day.)


We didn't win big but we broke even and were able to have lunch and some cocktails too!

Beauty for Free

Sunday Drive

Tabblo: Sunday Drive

Hubby kids and I were out taking a little Sunday drive yesterday.  We are considering buying some property and building a new house so out we went yesterday in search of some places we'd found for sale on the computer.  There is some beautiful stuff  out there but it is a good bit farther out than where we live now which means it's a longer drive to the grocery, shopping, liquor store, out of pizza delivery range, out of DSL range, etc......  However the mountain and lake views are amazing especially for the price of the lots.  The lots are all 3-5 acres and are well within the price range we are looking to spend but I'm not sure if I can handle being quite so far out  - wondering if our friends will come visit us! Ha!  Kinda feels like you're headed the secret route to the bat cave.  I imagine if we had to give directions it'd be, "go down X road for 10 miles then when you think you've gone to far go another 4 miles! and turn right past the cow pasture!"

Garden Show (last year)

Tabblo: Garden Show (last year)

Garden Show March 2006

I look forward to the Garden Show every March.  My mom and I always make time to go and we always have so much fun "oohh'ing and ahh'ing" over all the exhibits.  Each year brings something new that we want to try in our own gardens and we always walk away with some new plants to try our hand at cultivating as well.  With a weather forcast of rain rain and more rain followed by 30 degree highs for next week I thought I'd dream a little and remind myself I've got this to look forward to in another two months.

To Those I've Loved Before

Tabblo: To Those I've Loved Before

Open your heart and Rescue a friend for life!

These are a few of the dogs I have helped rescue, foster, or have helped to place in new "forever homes."  I volunteer with the Boxer Rescue in my area and these are some of the sweet smooshy faces I have rescued over the years.  All these darling dogs come to our organization through no fault of their own.  We rescue them from certain death at pounds or shelters, and some are owner surrenders (he digs, we're having a baby, he ate my couch, she jumped the fence, I can't afford her anymore, blah blah blah and on and on the excuses we hear.)  Our organization gets them vet care (most have to be treated for heartworms), we nurse them back to health if they've been neglected,  and we board them or foster them till we find new homes for them.
