What I'm Loving This Week

 

As you know, with my fractured toe and foot, I am still limited on what shoes I can wear.  I did find these at my local boutique.  I luv them.  You can switch out the ornamentation so, I have multiple differnt looks for my shoes.  Luv it.  Check out their website:  www.lindsay-phillips.com.

 

 

Back To School Again

 

I can't believe the summer is over.  Where did it go?  Time to start another school year.  Good luck boys.  I know you will do well.  Thank you to their teachers for all that they do! 

 

 

 

Bryce - my big 4th grader now.  He is too cool to smile.  What a wonderful school.  They teachers had a band playing, streamers, etc. to welcome the kids back.  What a welcome back!

 

 

Had to beg for this pic of my 7th grader, Grant.  He is saying, "really Mom".  But, at least he still humored me :)

 

Well, since I took pics of the boys' first day of school, I thought that I would post a pic of what, my about 4,500th day of work.  There was no band or streamers that welcomed me when I walked in the door.  Can you believe that?  Oh, well.  The boys said their first days were great!

 

 

One Last Hurrah

With back to school shopping done and back to school open houses completed it is time for some relaxation so, what did we do?  We headed to the JW Marriott Grand Lakes in Orlando with friends for some fun, golf, swimming, shopping, food, drinks, and RELAXATION!

 

 

 

The girls and I doing what we love best, laying by the pool.  Ahhh!

After a hard day of golf and swimming, time to relax by the firepit.  I want one of these at home!  Where are the s'mores?

 

 

 

 

Bryce begging outside of Starbucks to try coffee.  No, Bryce - no coffee for you.

 

 

What a great way to spend the last weekend before school starts.  Head to the JW Marriot Grand Lakes-Orlando.  Location is great - very close to Sea World and is situated and associated with the Ritz Carlton.  The rooms were standard size but, nice.  The bathrooms were huge.  The pool area and lazy river were awesome.  The food was pricey but, average tasting.   The ammenities were great.  Lots to do for kids and adults of all ages.  Would I go back?  Of Course.  I have to try out that spa!  Here is a link to their website:    www.grandelakes.com/

 

 

 

USA! USA! USA!

 

 

Going thru post Olympic sadness.  Yep, that's me on the last night of competition.  I'm loud and proud wearing one of my fav's, Loud Mouth!   You can't be shy when you wear these clothes.  Be seen and hear by checking out the website.  www.loudmouthgolf.com.

 

 

 



Time flies, Literally!

I can't believe it has been over a year since my last post.  The old saying IS true. Too true!   Our lives have been so busy over the last year.  Shall I say, Krazy busy?   So, I think I will just update u all with a year in photos.....

Bryce played his first and last season of football.  He was soo cute, wait, I mean....mean out there.  We enjoyed being on board for the "Crazy Train".

                                          Did you see these scary guys last Halloween (2011)?

   Grant ran his first year for his middle school track team.  Way to go Grant!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                    A peek into my weekends

We had a new addition to our family in Feb 2012.....Our first Grandchild, Sophia Paige!

Sophia and me after 48 plus hours of labor.  Poor Britt, but she was a trooper.  We are so proud of her and her husband.  They are wonderful parents to our Granddaughter!

                                                          Ricky, Britt, and Sophia Paige

                                                           Great Grandpa and Grandma

                        Sophia Paige - 1 day old.  I luv her shirt "I wasn't born yesterday or was I?" 
                                                        Watch out Mom and Dad. 

This was one of the presents they received at the hospital.  I had to post because it was so cute.  It was a diaper cake, with washcloths, and an actual cake on top.  Very cute!

Our Family Easter Picture 2012 with our newest addition, Sophia Paige.  It was her first visit to our house.

Look at our family form for the Annual Easter Cornhole Tournament.  Watch out because Bryce, is a ringer!

                                                    Black and yellow, black and yellow....

All the Ladies are looking good for the First Saturday in May of course for the Kentucky Derby!

            My boys posing while learning to paddle board.  Yes, that is the Gulf.  No waves that day. 

                                                       Now, it is my turn....watch out!

Well, it was good that I got the paddle boarding in and a good run in because, the next day I fractured my little toe in two places and my foot running into the sliding glass door from a snake on my lanai.  What I didn't know was that I was going to be non-weight bearing and on crutches for 4 weeks and then had to continue to wear the boot for another 5 weeks for a total of 9 weeks.  Ughhh!

Celebrating with friends

 

Phew....I don't know about you but, I'm worn out.   Grant and Bryce had a great year in school and sports but,Bryce has decided to just focus on and play travel soccer.  Grant is going to play travel soccer and continue with his middle school track and soccer so, it will be another busy year for us traveling all over the state of Florida and of course visiting Britt, Ricky, and Sophia Paige in Georgia.  So, stayed tuned.  We have big plans for this upcoming year, with travel, home improvements, jobs, sports and of course lots of my favorites.  It will be Krazy!
