Happy Birthday Jack

Today was Jack's 3rd birthday! Can't believe he is growing up so fast. He is currently obessed with grills, grill tools, and tools in general. Rarely does he go anywhere without his channel locks, pliers, or screwdriver. He is such a boy.

Cupcake time!!

I wanna go back!

This happens to be another post relating back to the Bachelorette... however this time it has nothing to do with the contestants or the show. Only to do with the fact that they are in Thailand!!!

I went to Thailand in the 7th grade to visit my sister who was living there at the time and I WANT TO GO BACK! It is such a beautiful place and I would love nothing more than to go back at an older age and truly be able to appreciate all of the wonderful experiences that it has to offer!

Please don't end

I have spent the last week at my favorite place in the whole world. Navarre, FL.

It is pure perfection in an island.

Isolated

Cozy

Crisp

Hot

&

Beautiful

The best part of all... the memories.

Today's Find

Sometimes StumbleUpon is my arch nemesis..

Today, not so much.

I found this blessed little saying and I truly need to reflect upon life in this way.

Have an outstanding day!!!!

I am thankful for...

by Nancie J. Carmody

...the mess to clean up after a party

because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

...the taxes I pay

because it means that I'm employed.

...the clothes that fit a little too snug

because it means I have enough to eat.

...my shadow who watches me work

because it means I am out in the sunshine.

...the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot

because it means I am capable of walking.

...all the complaining I hear about our government

because it means we have freedom of speech.

...that lady behind me in church who sings off key

because it means that I can hear.

...lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing

because it means I have a home.

...my huge heating bill

because it means that I am warm.

...weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day

because it means that I have been productive.

...the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours

because it means that I am alive.

There are three kinds of days:

1. Good days,
2. Great days, and
3. Outstanding days.

I hope yours is Outstanding!

Anticipating the End.

So...... As tacky, trashy, dumb, idiotic, etc. the Bachelor/Bachelorette is, this season, I AM HOOKED. It is a waste of time in all honesty, but I can't help it.

After tonight's episode, so many things went so incredibly wrong, that I am in total anticipation of the episode, After the Final Rose.... wow.

Our dear ol' Bentley from SLC is a D- BAG to the max! Wow.. I cannot wait for Ashley to watch this whole thing and see his moronic and arrogant personality.

Ok that's it.

Loves!

Old Fort Days!

Well it is time for one of my favorite activities of the year.... THE OLD FORT DAYS RODEO!!!! Yee Haw!!!

Last night my mom and I took the little girls I nanny and their mom to the rodeo and it was such a fun time!! Love being able to be true to my redneck roots!

Bull Riding: Highlight of the night!
