Newsflash!!!

My brother, Ben and his girlfriend, Lori are getting married! I'm so excited! He proposed this weekend in Atlanta. Congrats to the super cute couple!

Where's Waldo?

Apparently frogs and turtles aren't God's only creatures that like to come visit us. If you look closely, you can see the latest visitor we had to our backyard.

My Monkeys and the Zoo

I took the boys to the zoo yesterday. Okay, we call it a zoo but it's nothing compared to our old zoo in Birmingham. Landon was thrilled with the visit and Cameron, of course, acted as if he was way too old to enjoy himself. Landon enjoyed seeing Sydney, the resident giraffe. However, he wasn't too impressed with the goats. You can see his reaction below. Too funny. My sentiments exactly. :)

Here he goes again...

Landon had an interesting day today at school. Ms. D (remember her, his new teacher?) filled me in on some of his antics this afternoon when I picked him up. Apparently, he and two of his friends (twin boys) decided to hide from her when it was time to come inside from outdoor play. The boys hid and wouldn't come when she called for them. Ms. D then saw Landon peeking around the corner chuckling so he pretty much gave them away. After her heart started beating again, she too chuckled, and then read the boys the riot act. And, of course, I had to continue the riot act after I had my chuckles, as well. Landon's reason for hiding behind the tree? Oh...they saw a frog and wanted to play with it.

Today's events gave me a major flashback of Kim and I and all the trouble we caused back in daycare growing up. Ha! And you wonder where he gets it from! I guess some things really never change.

Have Some Fun With Your 411

I saw this in one of my magazines that I was PATIENTLY reading today while I was waiting for my tires to be rotated and balanced. It was pretty cute so I thought I would share.

What To Do:

1. Multiply the first three digits of your phone number (not your area code) by 80.
2. Add 1.
3. Multiply by 250.
4. Add this number to the last four digits of your phone number.
5. Add that four digit number again.
6. Subtract 250.
7. Divide by 2.

What number did you get?

Happy 4th of July!

For real, this time!

Last night was no exception. The Navy Base put on a wonderful fireworks show. In the past, they have always held the celebration on the 3rd of July. This allowed for us to watch fireworks two nights in a row. Looks as if this year will be no exception. Tonight there will be fireworks at Pier Park. However, I think for these, we'll have the perfect view from our front yard. :)

By the way, have I mentioned lately that it's soooo nice

to be back home?

Happy Birthday America!!!

Okay, it's a day early but I had to show off the cutest little sugar cookie dessert I just made. It turned out more square than rectangle, but it gets the point across. So much for my culinary skills, eh?

Too much time on his hands?

Cameron is complaining about the HTML on this page. Apparently, he thinks it's too plain. Whatever. I'm okay with a basic appeal. What do you think?
