Quick Disney Fix!

Loved the traditional Dumbo ride...............

Going to have to post a couple each time to share all these amazing moments at the Magic Kingdom! Hopefully this will make you smile each time.............................................

To find time................ahhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhh.............that is the question! Why is it that the hot summer days of laziness and relaxation can't seem to land here...........at 2701 30th Street......it's always something.........whether it be good or a challenge...........it's here at every moment....don't get me wrong I'm not complaining and I absolutely love my busy, crazy life. But the days are streaming by so quickly, and I can't put on the brakes...................

It's so true........the ebb and flow of relationships, as my sweet friend says the peak and valleys............I'm tangled up with it right now...............thoughts and plans............happiness and unsure...............where do we start and stop???????????? Family and children are the heart of it all and answers come with being faithful and truthful..........we'll see!!!!!!!!!!! AS Griffin says, we'll see.........................................!

Happy Late Summer everyone!!!!!!!!!!

More Disney characters and fun................

Love this pic............and he was surprised by finding "Pinicchio"!!!
So who's having more fun..........Mommy.............Daddy..............Griffin??????

Wooohooohoooo!!!!!!! Yes it's really TTTIIIGGGEERR!!!!!!!

After our wonderful long journey that took us through Grapevine, Tx. (thanks once again Tim and Vickie), on to Mobile, Alabama and finally to Orlando, Florida..........we are here and inside the Magic Kingdom for a day filled with surprises and fun! Aunt Cathey met us at the resort yesterday and we are so very proud she is here. Another set of eyes and hands.........................Griffin is a very busy little 3 1/2 year old! Let's see what the day holds...................................

We are waiting to be seated at our character breakfast on our 1st day at Disney World.................check out the magic kingdom in the background............
Pooh Bar!!!! Yes, Griffin calls him Pooh Bar and always has, still does!

Leaning towards Mom, Pooh Bear is so sweet........
A little closer to Eeyore..............

What a happy moment for all..........finally okay with the "Pigwet"......
Okay, that's enough........................

WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD..................

We had a fabulous time in the land of magic! Bunches of pics and details coming soon.....................

My busy little boy!!!

Snack anyone? Check out the cheese on the TV!! And the 5 sandwiches on the cabinet??
And wonder where this very green koolaid will end up????????????

Spring has Sprung.................

Spring forward........isn't that what they say...........I need to post so many pictures of recent events...but can't seem to get to it....so I'll just spring forward as they say and try to keep up. What a joke! Hope everyone is enjoying the sights and sounds of spring. We are loving being able to work and play outside once again.
Isn't life great?

I can't get my hands off the pink spray paint.............it makes everything look fresh!
Sorry honey........



Our loungers .....we love Sunday mornings right here, minus cushions, oops!

My little friend...he thinks everytime you pick up a camera, he needs to say "cheese""""""""""""""""""""""
Our "every night spot", we like to watch the deck TV and just relax a little...is there such a thing???????????????????????

These beautiful magenta wave petunia's come from Secret Garden....my mother in law and I can't wait for these every year............
We discovered this unusual plant a few years ago in Vancouver when we were there...it is called a "fuschia" (sp) , it loves shade and the blooms are just fabulous......my sweet hubby is crazy about this one..............

I picked this up "Little Red Riding" in Lubbock, they always have the neatest plants, this one is called a Dr. Seuss Daisy.....................sweet, huh????
Most of our hibiscus plants froze out...even though we tried to very hard to keep them watered and in the garage this last winter.........it was a very harsh winter....

I am trying to recycle..........old pots, birdhouses, tables, stands, etc. Nothing a little paint won't fix!
My new favorite! Sweet broom...........smells so good and fresh.....
Have a seat..........cold drink in hand..............

So always a story with us.........here are our two garden plots...one is mulched, one is not...first we get compost each year to work into the soil..........we did this a couple of weeks ago . I made a quick trip to C-City to buy the fabulous tomato plants they have to offer, Beefsteak, Porter, Whopper and an heirloom called Abraham Lincoln, we work so hard to get them planted just right.......in rows......labeling each row..........and BAM, 4 days later, a hard freeze! So here we go again................back to work! I have big plans for these two plots.....................

And here's my little Sunday morning bedhead baby...............loves to be outside in jammies!
