Ride the Wonder Wheel...

Last Saturday, Dave and I took Sarah, Molly, Bridget and Cayden to the Home & Garden show at the expo center. They have a huge ferris wheel that travels around, up and right out of the building thru a glass enclosure!! So fun to ride! We sang Cherl Crow's song "Wonder Wheel", ok, maybe just I sang Wonder Wheel...

"Ride the Wonder Wheel...

It goes round and round, it goes UP... and it goes DOWN.
how I love all the sights and all the sounds...
riding on ... THE WONDER WHEEL!

Cayden had some fun sliding in the playground set up! The girls loved climbing all over them too!

Bridget and I ended up sitting and eating ice cream while Papa traveled the aisles, checking out decking, pool liners and such.
You scream, I scream, We all scream for Ice Cream! We were all pretty worn out after this excursion! I am in FLORIDA!! The Desperate Housewives have landed!

Townsend Cayden

My sweet little Cayden broke 2 bones in his foot today .... under my watch. I feel so sad about it, although, I know, there was nothing I could have done to prevent it. He was not climbing stairs, or furniture, no, he simply was walking and fell since he is still "wobbly" at it.
He came home from the drs. ready to smile for me still. He is just the most precious little guy to me, I could not love him more.
His Papa loves him lots too!
Pray for quick healing so this little man can get to walking around again! His Mama's thoughts here.

Desperate Housewives of Bay Cedar

Here we go again... Roxi and I are once again hosting the "Desperate Housewives of Bay Cedar"!! Dee, Patty, Debbie, Marlene, Meigan, and Janice will be joining us again on Bay Cedar for another fun filled week of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT A GOOD TIME! We will eat out, see movies, lay in the sun near the pool, read, rest, laugh, drink, laugh some more and we will do a little shopping too! Jeanette will not be with us this year and we are all so sad about that... we will miss her impressions and her quick sense of humor which always keeps us in stitches!! Hopefully, she will be back in the fold next February!

We have been going together since 2005- the original group being- Patty, Jeanette, Roxi, Me, Dee, and Debbie... back when we all looked like this...
Marlene and Meigan joined in the next year and they're sticking with us! Roxi is already in Florida since she resides there over the winter months! She misses the plane ride down, which is half the fun... just ask Peppermint Patty!
Just so you don't think the women have all the fun... Rick and Dave also host the men, who apparently enjoy cooking at home when they are all together...
Who the hell knew?
They are a funny bunch for sure! It's so great that we have the two houses -- to host so much togetherness!!

For Rhiannon...

One of my blogging friends daughter has started pressing flowers and wonder if any one had ideas what to make with the flowers fresh out of her press! Here's one idea....

Hi Rhiannon... Lynn made me this pretty little heart with a cream colored flower that almost looks like lace!! I can't wait to see what ideas you come up with yourself!

Click on pictures to make them larger!

Isn't it lace-like?
Have fun!

Sugar and Spice and .... one little boy!

SUGAR,
SPICE,
and, still everything so nice with this little boy!

They all enjoyed a sleepover together... they were busy coloring,

Having photo opts,


After a fun day of playing together, it was time for dreamland...
Sweet Dreams! Happy Valentine's Day! Hope yours was sweet too!

You Capture ~WORK

This week's challenge... Work.

Work for me, is missing my son, Tegan.

Who on a cold January morning 2 years ago, packed up his things and said goodbye to his little pup Bella.

and hit the road for Grand Junction, Colorado to start WORK here...

WESTSTAR AVIATION, painting private jets. Like this one...
and this one...

Came home in the spring to load up all his belongings and his little car...
Said goodbyes again to his family who adores him!
Went to work, met a girl, fell in love... her name is Kelley...
and they are WORKING on their wedding... along with some other exciting things!

Work has taken him from home but not our hearts or our thoughts. We love our visits, here or there, and we can't wait for JUNE 19th!

See more over at I should be folding laundry!

Playmates!

Sarah and Molly have not been over for a couple of days, (very snowy days), so when they got together with Cayden today they were so surprised to see him walking by himself. Cayden is always so excited to see his cousins! He wants to just keep hugging Molly, who is not much taller him, and he just loves to scream.... SARAH! Cayden plays well all by himself but...
He really loves to play with Sarah!
Molly was napping and missed all the fun with balls! Sarah had this to say today...

SARAH: Mem, I think I am a better babysister.

MEME: What? What do you mean- better babysister, better than what?

SARAH: A better babysister than you Mem, that's what I mean.

Who knew?

Here's something I knew... go here and you will know too!

Your neck of the woods...

So this is how it looks in my neck of the woods...


But there is some warmth going on inside! Uncle Danny and Cayden


What's it like in your neck of the woods?
