Chip N Jimbob with Disney Characters

These pictures were taken back in Feb. when Eric was in Philly. The kids and I visited a different park each day and had a lot of fun. The day Eric got home we all headed to the zoo from the airport.

Random Disney Pics

Eric and "J" in Tom Sawyer's Fort

I have many pics to upload so please bare with me for the next couple of days. I may throw in a little blogging here and there as well.

Fun in the Sun

Jimmy & "Mama Sharky"

Taylor & her walrus "Bill"

The kids had a blast last week using their new pool toys. I took many pics and one of them shows Mr. Toothless. Jimmy was so scared when he got his first loose tooth that it took almost a year for it to come out because he wouldn't touch it. Once it finally fell out and he woke up to money he figured out he had a good thing going and a few days later wiggled another tooth until it popped out now he is working on the top two. He is going to become a millionaire from the Tooth Fairy. I have tons of pics that needed to be added and will do so as quickly as possible.

Taylor and Jimmy love the pool and swim as much as they can. Most the houses in our neighborhood have pools but the kids have a few friends that don't and guess where they head daily??? Yep, the kids love coming over and making up new pool games, some of the games they come up with are crazy but they have a lot of fun. I will also be uploading some pictures of my big kid in the pool as well.

I'll Be Okay

As most of you know I have not been blogging lately, I have hit a very rough patch in my life and have not done much but spend it with my children. I know I will pull through in time but now my heart aches more than it feels good. I have been walking through an endless tunnel, I know there is an end but it is taking some time to find, I am determined to find it. Why am I telling you this? There are several reason, but I know I am not the only one who fights depression, it's an uphill battle and the other reason, I know the people who love me are worried but I am going to be okay. You will start to receive my daily phone calls again, I don't know when but I will get through this and I will be me again. I love all of you and I know you have my interests at heart but I have to do this on my own, I have to fight the darkness to find the light and I promise each and everyone of you, I will do it, I will be back.

Happy 7th Birthday Jimmy

The Seven-Year-Old

Jimmy turned 7 today and boy he couldn't wait. He has been counting the days for three weeks now so not only was it his birthday but he also woke up to an Easter basket as well. Yesterday we had an Easter egg hunt for the kids, after the hunt it was time for his birthday surprise, a new BMX bike. He has been asking for one for a couple months now and him and Eric have window shopped so he could find the one he wanted. As Jimmy searched through his eggs Eric rode the bike around back, I have never seen Jimmy so excited before.

Jimmy decided he wanted to spend the day at Epcot so that is what he got. He received a Disney giftcard from Disney to help celebrate his birthday. He loved his special day but was exhausted by the end of the day.

Happy Birthday Jimmy, we love you!

Taylor's Yule Tree and present

I gave the kids some clay yesterday morning and had them make Yule decorations with them. They had a very good time and used every bit of clay I had stashed.

Just A Few Random Pics

Yule Altar

I have my Altar set up for Yule, even though I have since changed my altar cloth to red. It looks great next to the front door.

Buddy is doing much better now. When I first brought him here he was scared to even step foot in the house now he roams around like he's been here all his life. He'll hang on the screened porch when we are out there, other than that, he lays around the house. He takes turns sleeping in each of our beds during the night and as you can see in the pictures above, he loves sleeping with his daddy!
