Psalm 139:13,14

Saw this idea a long time ago on Livin Lovin and fell in love with it! I totally wanted to try it myself and thought it would be perfect for when mothers day rolled around! I gave it my best effort and was very pleased with the results. Made this for Nana Halloran of all three grand kiddies (made one for my SIL of her girls, my mom and myself of Hunter). Everyone loved it and I must say I was pretty proud of myself! Thanks Heidi for "letting" me steel this idea! :)

...the better to hear you with my dear!

Hunter had his tubes put in and is doing great. He had had chronic ear infections since being a little guy. Had lots of thick fluid trapped behind his ear drums. We had tried every possible antibiotic, the last one putting him in the hospital. Nothing seemed to completely get rid of the gunk.(My theory is due to c section delivery and not getting all that gunk pushed out) Anyway.....his procedure went great! We went to Arnold Palmer Hospital's children's center in Orlando and they were FABULOUS! Michael teases me because I really enjoyed our updates from the anesthesiologist! (Tall dark and hansom with an amazing Latin accent!) hahaha!!! Anyway, surgery went great and recovery even better! He slept off everything on the way home and was 110% by that evening! Thank you for all of the prayers...so far he is doing great and already showing signs of much better hearing and talking better too!

We really got a kick out of watching the Valium kick in...funny at first but then a little sad and scary too! Hope to never see him like that when he is a teenager! LOL~

Going to the chapel and were gonna get married!

Yay! My not so little...little bro Daniel married Christi this weekend. Of course she was stunning and they were both so cute and excited! Such a fun time with family! And I know I know...but my little man was such a stud in his tux! Such a special day! I sure hope they are having fun in St. Lucia! :)

Dillo Disturbance

Ok......for you true Floridians...you know how pain in the , well, how unbelievably ANNOYING those pesky and absolutely nasty rodents known as Armadillos can be. We had one a year ago dig several tunnels under our house of which my knight in shinning armour in all of his geniousness (and God knows I love this man) decides to blast firecrackers in the tunnels and then concrete them in! HA. Well a few month ago we have been revisited. Each morning there is a fresh tunnel under our front window and Mic fills it back in only to do this about every day for several weeks. Well, we set a trap to no avail, broke out the BB gun to no avail! (I wont let him keep his other guns at our house, thank goodness). Needless to say Mics dad found us a super large trap to set. Mic and I looked carefully around our property to see where this pain in my...side...was getting in and out. Needless to say night two was success. I had asked Mic to move his car early in the morning so I could leave for work. He came running back in all but break dancing on the floor cause the nasty thing had been caught! Thank You Lord. He drove it all the way out to the race track! (I suggested the middle of lake Jackson but we did not have a boat at the time)! So here is my conqueror and his prize!

Spring Break is GREAT!

Had a very self indulgent spring break if you will! Hunter went to school like normal and mommy had play time! Thank you to my hubby who never complained once about my going and doing and him having extra Hunter duty! I was able to do some fun things and really enjoyed my break that went by WAY to fast. I will try to give a quick recap of the week! I had TONS of great pics. Ill try to share my favs

Safe and Sound

All has settled down at our home! Though we did have quite the drama for about 24 hours with the FBI, Highlands County Sheriff herself, and lab techs doing an investigation at our home...the only house in our neighborhood to be a "victim"! You can read the link to the newspaper article from today for the stats (sorry but all I can say is what an idiot!) In a nutshell...I was in Orlando for a few days shopping with mom when Mic called my cell phone in a panic!!!!! All I could hear were people talking, asking questions, something about anthrax and FBI at our house! He had come home from picking up Hunter after work, checked the mailbox and saw that we had a white envelope with a smiley face drawn on the front. He had heard of the lock down at our local hospital due to the envelopes with anthrax threat on them so he immediately called 911 and within minutes our house was in a frenzy! Most of you locals know that it was a ridiculous April Fools hoax. Well I hope the suspect can laugh for the next 79threats x 15years per threat (1185 to be exact) he could face in prison for second degree felony hoax of a weapon of mass destruction! Anyway, I am very glad all involved are without worry. Though we do get jittery at night when we hear noises outside. Our once white mailbox is now dirty black from finger print dust. And of course my wonderful husband does not have my instinct to capture on film the men in white suits walking around our house but you could just imagine I am sure! So next year I would much rather have Saran wrap over the toilet seat than have a white envelope in my mailbox! And I really Lord forgive me just want to smack the grin off this guys face! Sorry guys! Mamma is riled up about this one!
