It's a Milkshake Kinda Day!

It was a gorgeous day today! I got a yummy milkshake on my way home from work today! I am LOVING this warm weather!!!!

Reading After School

The boys know that their free time after school is from when they get off the bus until i get home from work. That is when they have their after school snack and than just do whatever they want. Once i get home from work than we dive into homework. for ryan that means we start with his 30 minutes of reading everyday. We read together so i make sure he reads and help him along the way. He used to get all his numbers and letters all backwards and upside down. It's been a long and painful journey but we have been working on this everyday for YEARS and he has improved in leaps and bounds! He didn't want to be in todays after school picture to The Dude in Cammies, so he hid behind his book. We are reading the sequel to A Boy No More that we finished reading about a week ago. This book will be the last one he reads for 7th grade and he will use this book for his project for the Literacy Fair.

Lions, Tigers, & Wait A Minute....

We went to Barefoot Landing today.  I took the kids last year when The Dude in Cammies was in Afghanistan, so this year Vicki and I took him to see the tiger cubs. We were totally surprised to find that they had LIGERS there today!!! I remember wondering if ligers were really real when the Napoleon Dynamite movie came out when we were stationed on Okinawa. Ty wrote a poem about them and confirmed to me that they were in fact real not too long after seeing the movie. Today we got to hold 2 of them! Vicki is holding a one month old liger that doesn't have any teeth yet, but VERY sharp claws, that is why she is holding that cute little fur ball sooooo far away from her!!! I would have had her cuddled up under my chin not caring about her lil daggers!!! I'm holding the 3 month old liger cub that had LOTS of teeth and who happened to be VERY hungry at the moment and VERY content with his bottle!!! He was HEAVY! His fur was sooooo soft!!! I just wanted to cuddle up with him!!! Ed has my new boyfriend. It was love at first sight.....the next post will explain......but it was definitely totally fun interacting with these sweet animals before we posed for this picture with them! Wish we lived closer, i would totally volunteer to work at this place and help care for these animals!!!    

The monkey being all cute with Vicki....

The monkey trying to get Ed's attention....

The baby liger cub was just tooo cute!!!

This monkey totally loved me.....and i loved him....

Mid March Weekend

Just things happening the middle weekend of March 2014....

The weather is getting nicer!!! Jasper is always begging someone to play soccer with him. Ty usually always goes out to play with him. Leah is the ref. Jasper soon becomes a ball hog and runs off with his ball and refuses to play anymore. Game over.

Funny Friday Morning pictures sent to The Dude in Cammies from my work. I'm 3 hours ahead of him so they will be his wake up pictures....

With warm weather comes easier hunting for Leah! She wanted me to rub her tummy on this kill she was soooo VERY proud of!

Mine and Vicki's fortunes. Yes, we laughed at mine. Epic fail.

Doughnuts, hash brown casserole copy cat from Cracker Barrel my fishies all puckered up from my lemon water and sitting out in the warm sun made for an AWESOME Saturday!!!

Jasper is NOT allowed on the couch.....i think he thought if he was curled up all small and cute looking i would look the other way....i took a picture and than looked the other way....i think he was dreaming of his Eddie Spaghetti....

Snow And Sun Roof

We had a 2 hour delay this morning due to all the snow last night...

I had to use the ice scraper to find my wind shield this morning and now I have my sun roof open driving home from work!!!!

Crazy weather this place in the South is giving us these days!!!

My Ugly Clothes

Vicki lets me know when she doesn't like what I wear. This is one of her favorites, as in favorite worsts, as in like my ugliest outfit I own. So I modeled it for Ed to see how hideous I looked tonight out in public. 

Snow to 79* in One Week

This brings a giant smile to my face!!!! 79* outside right now!!! It is Wednesday in February and 79*! I have my sunroof open driving home! Last Wednesday we were snowed in! This is just crazy a week later, but I love it!!!

She Takes My Seat!

Ed and Vicki drive me to work every day. They drop me off at 7 am and than do whatever Ed has to do for work stuff and than they kill themselves at the gym, do lunch and than come get me at 2:45. What cracks me up is as soon as i get out of the front seat Vixs crawls out of the backseat and takes my seat. I think that is hilarious how she doesn't just stay in her seat in the back.

Sheer Bliss!

I came home from work today and sat on the couch.....loved the site of Ty and Ryan doing their chores....yep, sheer bliss.....

Sparkly Car!

When I left for work it was a nice chilly 16 degrees outside!  My car looked sooo pretty!!!  The picture does NOT do it justice!  It was all sparkly and shimmery!  I wish I could get a paint job just like it looked in the dark morning light of my outside lighting…….sigh…..

Happy New Year

The VERY first post should be Happy New Year and a New Years Kiss! Yay for 2014!!!
