My 365...

Happy Friday!  And Happy first day of Fall!

Today does not feel like such a great day.  But you know what?  That is a-okay.  We can't be on our game every second of every day.  We need those "off" days to be able to recognize and celebrate the "great" days.  So thank you crappy day, I appreciate even you.  :)

My photos of the day...




The most beautiful baby in the world as seen through the eyes of his father...

Until next time..."Just because today is a terrible day does not mean tomorrow won't be the BEST day of your life.  You've just got to get there!"

Have an amazing, memorable and exciting weekend world!

My 365...

Happy last day of Summer!  Goodbye Summer.  Please take your time coming back next year...I am not a fan.

The house has been really quiet today.  Amber and baby Cooper have been out, and Jack took the boys on a long bike ride.  Quiet in this house is a rare and usually delightful phenomena.  However, I have decided that I prefer my boy noise to quiet.  I am constantly reminding myself that soon enough I will have all the quiet I can stand.  Until then I shall rejoice in my boy noises.  :)

My photos of the day...

An itty bitty flower for mom.  It is about the size of my thumb nail, so tiny yet so perfect.  Thank you Blake.

My 365...

Arguing with a teenager is an exercise in futility.  I have been after Casey for a month to clean his desk.

"I will mom"...then nothing.  Day after day, day in...day out...nothing.

Today I gave him a final warning...

"Son, I insist you clean your desk today."

Casey..."Blah...blah...blah...blah..."

"Okay then, I will unplug your computer until it is cleaned."  I then reach over and unplug.

"OMG mom you did not just do that, I was in the middle of something!!"

Ten minutes later as I walk by his desk and spy no progress."  "Unplug"  "Mom!!!!"  (teeheeee)

This is kind of fun!  :)

Fifteen minutes later....nothing.  "Unplug"  "Mom!!!!"

Twenty minutes later...still nothing.  "Unplug"  "Argh!!!!!!"

"I am sorry son, did you say something to me?"

Get the point?  He did.  :)

My photos of the day...

I don't get the teenage grief with my Blake...yet.

What is this?  A lawn statue of the goddess Miss Lilly poo?  No...it is just the diva herself live and in person.  


Music I am listening to today...Daft Punk, not really, but I love this video.  :)




Random Link of the Day...Ready for lift off!

Until next time..."Today I will...be uplifted, smile, open my heart, love, laugh, listen carefully, rejoice, be inspired...share it with others."

My 365...

Where did all my babies go?  I was looking at the boys this morning, and they are so grown up.  Having Blake at 40, I have had the pleasure of babies in my life for the last 25 years.  Blake is only 10, but definitely a grown boy now.  Thank goodness for my grandson Cooper, this mama still gets her daily dosage of baby.  :)

Happy Monday world, hope yours was a great one!

My photos of the day...

Number 3 son Casey, age 16.  Brilliant, funny, talented, creative, soulful...and ready for his own cell phone.  :)

Here are some PHOTOS he took today.  He loves photography.


Son number 4 Blake, age 10.  Hilarious, mischievous, stubborn, thoughtful, determined, artistic, adventurer, outdoorsman, loving...also requesting his own cell phone.  lol :)

My 365...

Perfect Sundays are perfect.  :)

Today was one of those perfect Sundays.  I pulled an all-nighter last night not because I was not feeling good or had too much work to do (even though I do!), but because I stumbled upon a great new series and had to watch every episode!  Durham County.  I love Hugh Dillon, and have really enjoyed this show.  So good!

About 5:30 A.M., I decided to go into the kitchen and try my hand at some Roti.  It is my new favorite thing in the world.  It is like a flour tortilla, but much lighter.  Very yummy.  I left a note for Amber and Brandon so they could have some when they woke up, and decided it was probably a good idea to get a little sleep.

Garrett and Kori came over this evening so I put together a delicious last minute family dinner.  Some chicken flautas and Mexican rice.  My rice came out perfect!  Amber made some tasty guacamole dip to go with the flautas.

We sat in the living room and enjoyed each other's company.  The boys talking "skate boarding", and us ladies talking foods and stuffs. It was perfect!  Life in our world is good.  :)

My photos of the day...

By 10:00 P.M. I realized I had not taken any photos today, so Blake came over and gave me a quick pose.


 Some photos by Brandon today.  He and Amber took the boys for a walk.



Precious Grandson Cooper.  Amber was telling me this evening that I have a new name. They are teaching Cooper new words and since "Grandma" may not be so easy to learn, I shall now be known as "Gigi". how cute is that?  I love it!  :)

Another photo by Brandon.

Until next time..."Me, weird?  Bitch, I am a limited edition!"  *grin*

Have an amazing Monday.
