We had such a fun afternoon with you all and the horses. Mommy survived her allergy attack from the horses too! :) We love you all and hope to see you again soon.

Christmas in Tampa...

We went into Tampa the day after Christmas to see Papa and our aunts & uncles. It was a nice couple of days and we enjoyed our time so much! :)


My Papa has many pets in the form of these squirrels that he feeds with peanuts. They have even broken into his house a few times when he left the window open and they chewed through the screen to find the peanut stash. One day he came home to find two of them inside with peanut shells everywhere!!


Mia loves playing with all the little cars that Papa has.


Papa is the Best Grandpa in the world!! We all love him dearly!!! :)


Molly loves it at Papa's too :)


This live oak tree in his back yard is on the historical registry.


The girls are the third generation to climb it's branches.


Aunt Jan is the best with her creative imagination and tender heart.


Uncle Rick is the wise & funny guy!!


The next several pictures are to highlight some their favorites at Papa's house when they visit...



orange, maybe tangerine tree

They have had this coo coo clock a while...I loved this as a child!


The girls love their swinging time :)



Flying our flag...proud to be an American!!


The neighbor across the street, Janice always has offers from the girls to help with her gardening!




When my grandparents had their shell driveway paved many years back a raccoon decided to leave it's prints.

My SUPER Husband!!!


I had a very hard day yesterday. Roy & I both woke up with headaches. He went to work and mine kept me in bed and went into migraine mode. I started to get sick along with it too and was concerned I couldn't take care of the kids and our new puppy? When I called my awesome husband, he checked to see if he could come home...Praise God he could!!!

He got me to the point where I could take medicine. It was one of those times where you can't eat or drink and when you get sick it is mostly dry heaves. NOT FUN AT ALL!!! I have the most amazing husband that takes such good care of me & the kids (& little Molly) he was still battling a headache himself and managed to go to work, come home and feed the kiddos, do laundry, fold clothes, make dinner, weed eat the back yard, bathe the kids and love on me. All this without any complaints!

He is amazing and I love him so much!! I am so blessed and I am so grateful to the Lord for my wonderful husband.

Thank you honey for taking such good care of me and making me feel better... just having you home. :)

I Love You Roy!!!
