I really enjoy journaling our family's fun events and hope the boys will enjoy looking back on it one day too, so I am going to try and do a better job. Here are some pics from our last year....without so much journaling.<div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEkdzdBYjWnFbM0Cj0XImET4rDb5IrWRLeUPlSjL5PXCmWgxvKUx7DZWhVL5AnzDJMziNfIBLqYkIu1YD-UNQBt27AGU6s5VggWaRnvGj5omhTnZjHIRKSvRNBcthipazAb5-GRZ4PhACo/s200/DSC_1216.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497177931990634482" /></div><div>Christmas in Shreveport- December 2009</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh34bl0bfWGd-oZlQBk-l3re8a0ew1nRxLACntr9avENNcVf6DAgVxNwWNiMckYVG3QxP4dJn3io9UujpVvNKSx9N1xBHvCzOxUzjVhzzGHQqA8Ewd8hnweyGYWqDR2GpM1zx2fy4WE7s31/s200/IMG_0036.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497177946932755154" /></div><div>Happy Birthday Daddy- January 2010</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrZolvwRpefcTV0N2MLswlkILwo7ri4cQ-nCoxwHvoIndvXQqFe6jw0IOpo-xtlKZFkNpB03lTVu9-GpiBtIiEKrRaXuoaA1DMA2j4f4D8WBeiXuyXyPsSVB3Rn_ckaIRgCrnh9QOgB4iw/s200/IMG_0159.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497177956703492354" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6RVRjhS3EDA5m7PBCEiKta4JiCHWU6GFOmF8k7cgYAFk5rG021Gy2NungkK0Cnf7sx8Py0OX-nYNwoaDrbu_W0YPbUHAI1-IFT8k-V4O0d6GYeLP_AsTbtpvk508-8hCS0-kJQDz6clqK/s200/IMG_0161.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497177959073567298" /></div><div>Happy Easter - May 2010</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5IPfnZsa_BXMi_8cWRuZNhPC6rMkN-IFUw_Gn2B4dEteAPdCYIEPPRRdj-Vduv2MvrDauPHIW4Abb8jReX3QEhmhW6i1TdaTfM-wcVx0zxdzCXrG28uuSs2aE7SCe3NpUflsaO6WST9nd/s200/IMG_0203.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497177968863708306" /></div><div>Happy Birthday Will - April 2010</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT52ujt-Sx45qZqAeFdqySlvmIGUTPKE_G7UrG8HQcyUr5r9BXcnWZxCOL2YJkANs1QnTBod6E_kR7-yAQUkvOPt7MqrGxgz1D_dVTX1VWGb8S0HEH4Xovcu9dqWKX5S03s0JqT2JOq6tz/s200/IMG_0314.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497180671125122306" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:15.6px;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJe8EIYo8FMP3kZecOEhc4vGeBX0K2Pqu_aLpLHEAbcYDyWKHppqc5HGWoMy2cwoIgvXRaGa0e8W_UnbupBRGY5lCVGI4VHelyah-t7joqDmeU7mmK9bNkia1466DIxelknLrYlWkVKID0/s200/IMG_0323.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497180683643152914" /></span></div><div>Will's Preschool Graduation Party - June 2010</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQapZMK_VLJneqm130TiGx82VARZHswog-wCwuUqoMVAysNKVVamcrtZdlUYxwdL-vdGq2bbDQGjDg8LZDo4eTXBnOIZeP42dOrT21ZUNnXKiYNxX4pn4WCvg8Oy4qxh30FHRfg5OIJsim/s200/IMG_0436.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497180689069166882" /></div><div>Happy Birthday Wyatt - July 2010</div><div><br /></div>gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079606185236142684.post-19581987786415775782009-07-20T12:45:00.001-04:002009-09-11T13:02:19.894-04:00Cousins<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJUr1sntFq2yc2glkr4b58C2rxWJ4amf0ASC_51cb_BZfXVP5n_ij7s4qObONpAPiLbunseA3amvSt-s5PAVOzYqWpK3K8EhllRT2fpTjK04krbZzUh2ySPWQDE5LJyQtkl3dgtWcaU8rm/s1600-h/IMGP1800.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380252303068729954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJUr1sntFq2yc2glkr4b58C2rxWJ4amf0ASC_51cb_BZfXVP5n_ij7s4qObONpAPiLbunseA3amvSt-s5PAVOzYqWpK3K8EhllRT2fpTjK04krbZzUh2ySPWQDE5LJyQtkl3dgtWcaU8rm/s320/IMGP1800.JPG" /></a> <span style="color:#000000;">We had the privilege of having our nephews Daniel & Anthony stay with us for a couple of nights.

We stayed with our friends Chuck & Mindy who also have 2 boys. It was a great being with old friends. The next week Bill came up and we had a little family vacation. We thought about going to Sea World one day but the boys loved being in the water park at the resort so much that we just did that every day, stayed cool in the water and saved some money. It was a low key, relaxed get-a-way.<br /></span><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyFllWh6tGF28gyHBq6KbKjHhDvB9um5XFZUC_hIWwY497x5v_YBunrYqieplhrsfLXGEGe3QTCCa4C4hxQuk2wly41Z2wJr2mJZ4zrRp70JEVHomb3z547zYnW_J1jwPdEbSuWLwgHVfK/s1600-h/IMGP1776.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373336266327822898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyFllWh6tGF28gyHBq6KbKjHhDvB9um5XFZUC_hIWwY497x5v_YBunrYqieplhrsfLXGEGe3QTCCa4C4hxQuk2wly41Z2wJr2mJZ4zrRp70JEVHomb3z547zYnW_J1jwPdEbSuWLwgHVfK/s320/IMGP1776.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhToVplfW7Mp2DqlQWZ8ZfkEIFluldCyA-ob1ubkLfW0JefljNFAlpU39uT_RufGNDL6jm-EETLJkYyz2JYDtH5DPtea-zpXLPjmzLF3BSl6TUIkows5WrfswH9GU6vi9eHrw5oTG-BeDzh/s1600-h/IMGP1780.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373335653466134002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhToVplfW7Mp2DqlQWZ8ZfkEIFluldCyA-ob1ubkLfW0JefljNFAlpU39uT_RufGNDL6jm-EETLJkYyz2JYDtH5DPtea-zpXLPjmzLF3BSl6TUIkows5WrfswH9GU6vi9eHrw5oTG-BeDzh/s320/IMGP1780.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079606185236142684.post-57645023734302801562009-06-20T21:06:00.001-04:002009-08-23T21:22:11.600-04:00Baby Toys & Big Boys<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGAuum2ILjmfkMeqBwsGPHHJL5n5bCil_KKl_YsYNCx0q1-2ABmyB4xLTHgg8KV69DwNZisHmzwEbZg62cX93dzAzfpooXDNJHZzMz4bg8bnEQYF2JLhRT1c0smR9xwN0j8Plde1hl_ZhH/s1600-h/IMGP1760.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373331313301966002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGAuum2ILjmfkMeqBwsGPHHJL5n5bCil_KKl_YsYNCx0q1-2ABmyB4xLTHgg8KV69DwNZisHmzwEbZg62cX93dzAzfpooXDNJHZzMz4bg8bnEQYF2JLhRT1c0smR9xwN0j8Plde1hl_ZhH/s320/IMGP1760.JPG" /></a> <span style="color:#000000;">A few weeks ago I pulled some of Will & Wyatt's baby toys out of the attic because one of my friends was coming over with her 4 month old son.

It was so nice to have them here for a whole week! I think Steph and I were both a little nervous about how well the kids were going to get along throughout the week having so much time together. We were both pleasantly surprised at how good Will & Hannah, both very strong willed and borderline OCD, got along. Wyatt of course is so extremely laid back, not much bothers him, he was thrilled to have another playmate.<br /><br />Hannah immediately became best buds with Bill, not sure if he was giving her candy when we were not around or what...she just loved him. This was great for me and Steph, it meant that we were able to go out and have a girls night while the kiddos stayed with Bill.<br /><br />During their visit we went to the beach, of course it rained twice while we were there but I learned a very valuable lesson....don't take so much stuff to the beach. I think I spent more time lugging our beach bags in and out of the rain than actually enjoying the beach. From now on the sunblock goes on at home, change of clothes stay in the car & all I bring on the sand are my children, a towel & 1 toy that each child can carry. The kids had fun playing in the sand and we packed a lunch to eat there. We had a great time in spite of the rain, it was a beautiful Florida day.<br /><br />It is hard for me to find the words to describe how wonderful it is to be with such a great old friend. Things are so much different with small children running around, but so nice just hanging out and talking about our lives now and our lives back then. Though we don't see each other much anymore I still feel very close to Steph and treasure her friendship. We were so glad they came to visit and hope they will come back again next year. Now Will wants to go see the snow at Hannah's house. I hope we can make it up to Tulsa to visit them sometime.<br /></strong></span><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEcAQjQDd26EELi3imqjpnAP5oSD_5pBEPYW4jre6BSzbogNXxVjzN_5li1Sd1CZoMR_VzlVDAQskjg9nRJsJ2EbeVlsx7ZSYjdpr88KZXhRF40G0wTqEnoPMGiRKQTLbl5bLCqP7qx5cb/s1600-h/CIMG6991.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355892511582729250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEcAQjQDd26EELi3imqjpnAP5oSD_5pBEPYW4jre6BSzbogNXxVjzN_5li1Sd1CZoMR_VzlVDAQskjg9nRJsJ2EbeVlsx7ZSYjdpr88KZXhRF40G0wTqEnoPMGiRKQTLbl5bLCqP7qx5cb/s320/CIMG6991.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLv0k6AjESXAkLyRX-Vh03DkPmHC-WkkjiL7ThuR17oLb5vCT_z1Vvlh5uL4QXcvnl8AfM0vrHEBUz8eHX7XyXQJce0HPk_4mHYzQitBuA815kAyQ_oOneTxqz_gCFq7Pnwymnp1nMA1tu/s1600-h/IMGP1767.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355892522427316226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLv0k6AjESXAkLyRX-Vh03DkPmHC-WkkjiL7ThuR17oLb5vCT_z1Vvlh5uL4QXcvnl8AfM0vrHEBUz8eHX7XyXQJce0HPk_4mHYzQitBuA815kAyQ_oOneTxqz_gCFq7Pnwymnp1nMA1tu/s320/IMGP1767.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079606185236142684.post-38908422961004513702009-04-30T15:13:00.000-04:002009-06-12T15:29:26.779-04:00Babi's Here!!!!<div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga0aXNM7M5rikbKgtAl6RNmrLxL4IBH91DGbvACvvADbzV7LTNTbbeTa2gU8C4wmnZcuYmCf6NKw4yW7AaNSpnM-h98LhplIMW9wRvYuab2xLuZbNFIGNlE7mmapnCO4zrQiXHZEvGinGx/s1600-h/000_0068.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346521912714044482" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga0aXNM7M5rikbKgtAl6RNmrLxL4IBH91DGbvACvvADbzV7LTNTbbeTa2gU8C4wmnZcuYmCf6NKw4yW7AaNSpnM-h98LhplIMW9wRvYuab2xLuZbNFIGNlE7mmapnCO4zrQiXHZEvGinGx/s200/000_0068.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#000000;">Babi came for a visit and boy did we have fun.

It seems like just yesterday I was holding him in my arms at the hospital looking at the wonderful creation God had blessed us with. This year for his birthday we were in route to Shreveport so we had several birthday "parties". The first was in his class at school. We took cupcakes & marshmallows for everyone to enjoy. After everyone finished eating Ms. Peach let Will be the class "singer" and he lead a few of his favorite songs which included "The Backwards Alphabet", "BINGO" & "Freeze". We learned several new impressive things about him that afternoon....the 1st being that he could say his ABC's backwards...or would you call it the ZYX"s? And the 2nd thing was that he could actually sing and dance. This is just something he does not do at home for Bill & I. Mrs Peach assures me that we are not the only parents that have made this discovery. And let me be clear about the discovery I speak of, it is not the singing & dancing so much as the fact that there are things she can get him to do at school willingly that he will absolutely not do at home. I was so thankful we had the video camera with us!!!!<br /></span></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwkdM18bteX1boc44nHvdhZLKXtR-QbU-xROG_RBTpWpHI5RkZt4yUJ_iqWzs4BE2SXm6pfqZECKAQRNlN1_c9DUEsocw1dHdHQliC8H5RIuOQjBlYUKJ80s78aclYe8V1HeKKOw2OdQtX/s1600-h/Ap+027.jpg"><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338324711721867730" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwkdM18bteX1boc44nHvdhZLKXtR-QbU-xROG_RBTpWpHI5RkZt4yUJ_iqWzs4BE2SXm6pfqZECKAQRNlN1_c9DUEsocw1dHdHQliC8H5RIuOQjBlYUKJ80s78aclYe8V1HeKKOw2OdQtX/s200/Ap+027.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>On April 5th, his actual birthday, we were in Louisiana at my Grandmama's house.

I was not sure how Will was going to feel about the rides but he really surprised me and was willing to try some new things. He had been talking about wanting to go ride a roller coaster so I found a "Will sized" one that consisted of a short round track with a few bumps along the way and the cars looked like an alligator. I thought for sure he would back out when he saw it but he still wanted to ride. He climbed into a seat next to a little girl that looked to be about 8 years old. When the alligator took of abruptly I could see in Will's eyes that he was not happy, but thankfully that sweet little girls motherly instincts kicked in and she put her arm around him and told him it was going to be ok, and he was but after the ride was over he didn't want to go again. I was proud of him for trying. After that we stuck with the bounce house & the trucks that go around in circles very slowly. It was a fun night.<br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnqma1PpIM5XQEsDqVzaDIxvvUeDFDsLPfThzC4bfr48IaeIY_4PYzftVSJNlyFWuBPp_7Tvw60CyGdRoAOuTAE8mdzS6gYGwjji42Q3knLolKkVCOuke8JhLmzmlBz76tck6Z0YIBzutF/s1600-h/March+09+012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327933289726486130" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnqma1PpIM5XQEsDqVzaDIxvvUeDFDsLPfThzC4bfr48IaeIY_4PYzftVSJNlyFWuBPp_7Tvw60CyGdRoAOuTAE8mdzS6gYGwjji42Q3knLolKkVCOuke8JhLmzmlBz76tck6Z0YIBzutF/s200/March+09+012.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFbq1cW0yLjtJgeMlsB8ZnloWEMEI_goJ6N48sefDyOli3HvSr3s_crv4su5C-2ndL2gUBdmx2VQ2eM1mhrZLLGCAqlb7QNNUpUTdt4m1FK7CncERcZFzGqtTU8VEC4M3Zbsnmi5BB3jPf/s1600-h/March+09+010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327933288401020770" style="WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFbq1cW0yLjtJgeMlsB8ZnloWEMEI_goJ6N48sefDyOli3HvSr3s_crv4su5C-2ndL2gUBdmx2VQ2eM1mhrZLLGCAqlb7QNNUpUTdt4m1FK7CncERcZFzGqtTU8VEC4M3Zbsnmi5BB3jPf/s200/March+09+010.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-3qBMr5jmrNpPQK5FWLE__v0wMQWkSivu9weDbAzA9pHqi9D-47J-EalrSZeoYUuVkujVltXw4dfauJ4rKLC3baz34qdLo9eU4BBSQGsns3iLwx-PViVZLwp7OFsaJo8uwQBt20TbIhj/s1600-h/March+09+006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327933282382425234" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-3qBMr5jmrNpPQK5FWLE__v0wMQWkSivu9weDbAzA9pHqi9D-47J-EalrSZeoYUuVkujVltXw4dfauJ4rKLC3baz34qdLo9eU4BBSQGsns3iLwx-PViVZLwp7OFsaJo8uwQBt20TbIhj/s200/March+09+006.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079606185236142684.post-26196056418630638672009-02-25T12:03:00.001-05:002009-03-31T12:55:35.231-04:00Roonie & Mary Visit<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn3P2c921G3xgiaog8ishXO41AIwmPjuPKL6n5AdEMowmtVNPWeRZoDBjYhcvx5qv_iUC6w66RDR5eak3oIwY-Yw4fagIiL9xTbytHcx6eA42RWmxOgF2ZrrCpx6myJWGv3oqHQrHNdqId/s1600-h/Feb+09+012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319388494446948066" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn3P2c921G3xgiaog8ishXO41AIwmPjuPKL6n5AdEMowmtVNPWeRZoDBjYhcvx5qv_iUC6w66RDR5eak3oIwY-Yw4fagIiL9xTbytHcx6eA42RWmxOgF2ZrrCpx6myJWGv3oqHQrHNdqId/s320/Feb+09+012.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw68M_r-45uYheFQmD53vmWrHubQmtUoYEUi9lLQIUskFGGB2cw2_EJSmuVNZRAzX4w8en2h3hdxU-YcabkVMEqE1d0xdr4BCT7PDtHS54IB7ytx_qagam6yB6S1_sdjMz-GYw40uPcagd/s1600-h/DSC_0535.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312333980423084882" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw68M_r-45uYheFQmD53vmWrHubQmtUoYEUi9lLQIUskFGGB2cw2_EJSmuVNZRAzX4w8en2h3hdxU-YcabkVMEqE1d0xdr4BCT7PDtHS54IB7ytx_qagam6yB6S1_sdjMz-GYw40uPcagd/s320/DSC_0535.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#000000;">We love when Roonie comes to visit and this time was no different. Bill and I were excited that she was bringing King cake....ahh the joy of Mardi Gras....King cake with cream cheese filling, definitely one of life's greatest pleasures. It didn't last long so next time we requested she bring a large one. The boys lined up right away for rides around the house on a beach towel. This is something fun she has always done with them, they laugh so hard and Will begs her from the moment he wakes up to go for a ride. It is funny to me that they think only Roonie can do this, they have not once asked me and honestly I like it that way...she wears herself out running around my house dragging the boys on a towel. Looks like good exercise. It wasn't all hard work during this visit though...Bill picked up some shiners so they could go fishing. I think Roonie still holds the title for catching the biggest bass out of our lake.<br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRk8IzSXfGlQLteR-MPyG0fwqiBzyMQLG-QQmuAzda7ZOnrwFvJ3cAxMmOG3yOdOlbEPkBE_GVE_pncTKbf8Wn5WrRiAC8bmLMfnfkXqSh094X0p31Ss3318j4rV-KH4wCsJ0srFWTipGx/s1600-h/DSC_0999.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312334003680245026" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRk8IzSXfGlQLteR-MPyG0fwqiBzyMQLG-QQmuAzda7ZOnrwFvJ3cAxMmOG3yOdOlbEPkBE_GVE_pncTKbf8Wn5WrRiAC8bmLMfnfkXqSh094X0p31Ss3318j4rV-KH4wCsJ0srFWTipGx/s320/DSC_0999.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span style="color:#000000;">This trip my mom's friend Mary came down too.

And it's a good excuse to eat more chocolate :)<br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div></div>gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079606185236142684.post-19065113530831196532009-02-02T21:03:00.002-05:002009-03-01T19:30:01.665-05:00Sleeping Angels<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFBHpvH3nZtVGkSExG-c2uaYnmf1dMPVZswe_aOoYEeYf7Ad0kOUkNm8e4DALMUmIRQzBsN9HHpbGk6LwKy7HdRzxE7ijvQqPN3tmpaUr5hLuBORuW5TY7FlTvRwKz8mO2UnDC7g_n48oN/s1600-h/Feb+09+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307668471327386402" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFBHpvH3nZtVGkSExG-c2uaYnmf1dMPVZswe_aOoYEeYf7Ad0kOUkNm8e4DALMUmIRQzBsN9HHpbGk6LwKy7HdRzxE7ijvQqPN3tmpaUr5hLuBORuW5TY7FlTvRwKz8mO2UnDC7g_n48oN/s320/Feb+09+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">There is just something about a child sleeping peacefully. Every night before going to bed I go into the boys rooms one last time for the day to check on them and give one last kiss. It is like I can't go to sleep without seeing them one last time, and I do love watching them sleep, they are so peaceful & still, it makes my heart flutter just thinking about it. So on this particular night when I went into Will's room I noticed that he was sleeping at the head of the bed on top of his pillows and Jomondo his stuffed dog & his stuffed lamb, it was so cute. Then I go into Wyatt's room and see him sleeping sound with his bear. Night night and sleep tight my big boys, tomorrow is a big day.</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFdT6p_6F8E2bSEkKfZlc29ZtOr3oe3t6_823IJLCcdkkk34F6hxwuU5XgLCrFCnyBWr8wRxIAyvPiVKFO1HkrK7cBK0gk1zNkOEC9pHfR4yTlzFnf6G3GwR4TBWczcu0VhFq6bMGlUGfd/s1600-h/Feb+09+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307663427035287490" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFdT6p_6F8E2bSEkKfZlc29ZtOr3oe3t6_823IJLCcdkkk34F6hxwuU5XgLCrFCnyBWr8wRxIAyvPiVKFO1HkrK7cBK0gk1zNkOEC9pHfR4yTlzFnf6G3GwR4TBWczcu0VhFq6bMGlUGfd/s320/Feb+09+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079606185236142684.post-41249168631486920412009-01-23T20:44:00.002-05:002009-03-01T19:30:55.589-05:00Happy Birthday Billy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwRing9KGDLEXMSqwGqFABbTM4NijxVYmKPpS66WmZ76_TcFX-OLqoDQxLkEH1dKwFif2yhNSLk4jHhRX7tbPKRBLuiXDjLm0U0z4CggISmYxq4uRf83VW9jJVtLpRSbQgHBzrgIKsv1Gy/s1600-h/Jan+09+029.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307658837289363906" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwRing9KGDLEXMSqwGqFABbTM4NijxVYmKPpS66WmZ76_TcFX-OLqoDQxLkEH1dKwFif2yhNSLk4jHhRX7tbPKRBLuiXDjLm0U0z4CggISmYxq4uRf83VW9jJVtLpRSbQgHBzrgIKsv1Gy/s320/Jan+09+029.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#000000;">Today was Bills....... should I dare say it.....42nd birthday. We had a very low key celebration for him but it was very special. The boys colored a very interesting "Happy Birthday" banner and I baked a yummy chocolate cake. I surprised the birthday boy by getting a babysitter so that we could go on a date. So after we celebrated with the boys we headed out for an adult dinner. It was wonderful!!!!<br /><br />I am so thankful for this wonderful man that God has placed in my life to be my husband and the father of my children.

Bill's mom along with his brother Dan and family came for a visit. Though it was short we enjoyed having them here. Will & Wyatt had fun playing with their cousin Anthony, the water in the pool was COLD, but it didn't keep them from getting in and swimming. Bill took Anthony fishing where he caught not only his very 1st fish, but also his 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th (what can I say we have some hungry fish here). He was so proud, and we were very excited for him. Eventually we all ended up around the lake fishing and by the end of the day we had all caught a fish....even Mimi, I was impressed.<br /></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbhdvJphBAxT-C5FEf5KwxkQX5jXbV2VEa3MDnfdB1-lPP_MCJDENVg9dSGBXGznD9N4POup9S6Wl6kDhTr-yi5ZOdLCDZ6__hvXsRT-qe7gRFxbwsLbeUDClSGUEcjgP0iQ7mntwdIdKH/s1600-h/Jan+09+018.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307654542007916402" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbhdvJphBAxT-C5FEf5KwxkQX5jXbV2VEa3MDnfdB1-lPP_MCJDENVg9dSGBXGznD9N4POup9S6Wl6kDhTr-yi5ZOdLCDZ6__hvXsRT-qe7gRFxbwsLbeUDClSGUEcjgP0iQ7mntwdIdKH/s320/Jan+09+018.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAFQYzdqoIYh2q75MJ1VZ76__G5UZ9ESwXPdwzVUWiaGebOf8sOFJbCSgQTL5pfzBa03Z33AIIBakQdTkgvtNqHhgW8su-x9i5q6H7SRNuqira7z8CJAfYjLd6tW6gm-SvTPnEaahHvh9w/s1600-h/Jan+09+014.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307173462816065426" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAFQYzdqoIYh2q75MJ1VZ76__G5UZ9ESwXPdwzVUWiaGebOf8sOFJbCSgQTL5pfzBa03Z33AIIBakQdTkgvtNqHhgW8su-x9i5q6H7SRNuqira7z8CJAfYjLd6tW6gm-SvTPnEaahHvh9w/s320/Jan+09+014.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcVR7STuKe81If0RAZ0K4fMtGO9vZ-Eltm1MXRJ2dHyEHhVpSG-mYZ3yWNTORwBfYlV1qrRKoAJPXH6yXbQB0zXrDNxEGQlPMHG7pIgzcLMO_o1vw_J7T5iKPUc3RAIaXElYyzj7D9d-Bb/s1600-h/Jan+09+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307173459757645362" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcVR7STuKe81If0RAZ0K4fMtGO9vZ-Eltm1MXRJ2dHyEHhVpSG-mYZ3yWNTORwBfYlV1qrRKoAJPXH6yXbQB0zXrDNxEGQlPMHG7pIgzcLMO_o1vw_J7T5iKPUc3RAIaXElYyzj7D9d-Bb/s320/Jan+09+008.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWBoTu2diPDc_G1rsTS_zaoci2EzEsP7oqmZOcX47lqHwTqmV5UG-UydyFvH71WC3jwnv88Gt6_wEyGQF8fjkew6R_KkshkZiEWycDIMQugUK9recLKxE8chXaXn9tjUFcpWr0BRYcoHLG/s1600-h/Jan+09+019.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307173448532380498" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWBoTu2diPDc_G1rsTS_zaoci2EzEsP7oqmZOcX47lqHwTqmV5UG-UydyFvH71WC3jwnv88Gt6_wEyGQF8fjkew6R_KkshkZiEWycDIMQugUK9recLKxE8chXaXn9tjUFcpWr0BRYcoHLG/s320/Jan+09+019.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPU3hsIg_c2zS5rGoDB_Mr2pXzyr3zjXKjvoF4oHar6MdrVhNnC8h6pqsb2D8WuFPWzx7LSfharTlwha2Wz0gxJl0y80VZGTNXm_U5pt7EX6Q1i2fyYJIBFqCSHiv5LSC-BBeY0pwQpmo-/s1600-h/IMG00079%5B1%5D.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307173456124095986" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPU3hsIg_c2zS5rGoDB_Mr2pXzyr3zjXKjvoF4oHar6MdrVhNnC8h6pqsb2D8WuFPWzx7LSfharTlwha2Wz0gxJl0y80VZGTNXm_U5pt7EX6Q1i2fyYJIBFqCSHiv5LSC-BBeY0pwQpmo-/s320/IMG00079%5B1%5D.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079606185236142684.post-55574641366279089812009-01-01T11:53:00.001-05:002009-03-01T19:32:48.115-05:00The Sims visit to Casa de Bliss<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeetxr6Rz1Et_cR2b-nd0ulTwhSUEnESQCRZEgFsTDP0QrSxfk0mHJIT_Fo49ahoB0HuM-FLWOBhCZvtR2YGNXH4eQdg6g01MKhm2xvWoKSM2e9D2YyjcsbgXHJN4xoZopJYWp2EjmyY2a/s1600-h/Christmas+08+189.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297131862818770754" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeetxr6Rz1Et_cR2b-nd0ulTwhSUEnESQCRZEgFsTDP0QrSxfk0mHJIT_Fo49ahoB0HuM-FLWOBhCZvtR2YGNXH4eQdg6g01MKhm2xvWoKSM2e9D2YyjcsbgXHJN4xoZopJYWp2EjmyY2a/s320/Christmas+08+189.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#000000;">One of the highlights of our holidays this year was the visit from the Sims family.

I didn't have high expectations, I thought there would be a small crowded room with a long buffet line moving slowly for some cold pancakes...but I was ok with that, this was going to be a fun outing for the boys. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised though.... the breakfast was a fund raiser for the church's youth group so the youth actually served the pancakes to everyone. The tables were nice and festive and there wasn't a crowd. The youth did a great job serving and making sure we had everything we needed during our breakfast. When we were finished eating Santa was sitting in the front of the room where the children could go up and see him. That did not go over too well with Will but I was determined to get a picture with Santa anyway. Instead of pictures with Santa, I ended up with pictures of myself trying to keep Will from escaping, with Santa "looming" in the background. I guess there is always next year.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjFskja1fYr-NlSLs1Ph60-j9az8Dd25ZERSFRtAfd40X_3Jmx07Q7t34m3olux6v5JiZ_-4vQyzXz3bYG-O3JtDgIsFBYTKSEN54xVkgqtzGTvuRFrfz-NJi4JfSrtaQEJvENcJFJ4ys6/s1600-h/dec+08+046.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286033348981112674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjFskja1fYr-NlSLs1Ph60-j9az8Dd25ZERSFRtAfd40X_3Jmx07Q7t34m3olux6v5JiZ_-4vQyzXz3bYG-O3JtDgIsFBYTKSEN54xVkgqtzGTvuRFrfz-NJi4JfSrtaQEJvENcJFJ4ys6/s320/dec+08+046.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe-dsdb9R_yJkIvl1kcS0LRpUWuVyoiU6iE6xKm8lFRozsjGHb-Ruo1QWMCqKwHN_3ekBJi-Bj-WzTeV-XuK8Jp35DJjw9ovgb-yCysXJEEQGfRGSEIBGUldXNCFuAI2HjBByoyLUdcDdc/s1600-h/dec+08+047.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286033355807170098" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe-dsdb9R_yJkIvl1kcS0LRpUWuVyoiU6iE6xKm8lFRozsjGHb-Ruo1QWMCqKwHN_3ekBJi-Bj-WzTeV-XuK8Jp35DJjw9ovgb-yCysXJEEQGfRGSEIBGUldXNCFuAI2HjBByoyLUdcDdc/s320/dec+08+047.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEE_TRzUrJQ3fc8HqVTDfXsVFQl_A-pn3FDm6Lt4AxNVSzSJUUx3DTuU7AOkFcjf-aAwI47OSkMatES6JRc09vbuMzNUwmFxkZLkR995OQL_fOBHYbeKrCsuG9kmMIeMIL-lulQHqwmd52/s1600-h/dec+08+045.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286033343557418914" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEE_TRzUrJQ3fc8HqVTDfXsVFQl_A-pn3FDm6Lt4AxNVSzSJUUx3DTuU7AOkFcjf-aAwI47OSkMatES6JRc09vbuMzNUwmFxkZLkR995OQL_fOBHYbeKrCsuG9kmMIeMIL-lulQHqwmd52/s320/dec+08+045.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079606185236142684.post-72710495289518170932008-12-12T13:53:00.000-05:002009-02-13T12:02:47.541-05:00The Live Nativity<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2a_H_LXGeQkPS-Z2QFs3O0POyJ7jSCxfgI5Sneawciv0jdWV3el9wNyWckpCVsCLNmv1zuV5emI8kZ6nOhNMDAj25hXupvWAltiv1zpvSrwbsi2Afim1KMZOYhYpQWrfbGg14q3ArHWJp/s1600-h/dec+08+058.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286032755644702578" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2a_H_LXGeQkPS-Z2QFs3O0POyJ7jSCxfgI5Sneawciv0jdWV3el9wNyWckpCVsCLNmv1zuV5emI8kZ6nOhNMDAj25hXupvWAltiv1zpvSrwbsi2Afim1KMZOYhYpQWrfbGg14q3ArHWJp/s320/dec+08+058.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>One of the local churches here had a live nativity for the community to come out and enjoy during the holidays.

In the past I have enjoyed making cards to send out but because of time constraints I now opt for a cute holiday photo of the boys and I try to fit in a personal handwritten note. I personally find this therapeutic...what can I say I just enjoy it. Maybe it is because I love receiving Christmas cards so much. I love hearing from friends and family and getting updated pictures.<br /><br /><div><div>For the past several weeks I have been trying to get the "perfect" picture of the boys for our Christmas card. It has not been an easy task, in fact it has been down right difficult and frustrating. Wyatt is touching Will or Will doesn't want to sit by Wyatt or Wyatt is looking at Will or Wyatt is crying or ...well you get the idea and these pictures speak for themselves.<br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275990013410219122" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnluHfPhANnOVu0zOpa8JY2co0udajRNg5tDzleJU4M5IOEot7w61hjEG0m7HHzQX_XqkwGIYBYfWsTPyEtIvYdezmx6tIgqltia-O-6gPAdB800OXtPAq_RGAbQGRRZMaww8Cz90lDSdM/s200/dec+08+019.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP9bsID8iwDFMBbYe_JfawxTnwT6qZPMVkL4nc17cU7z8r4xEHCMauAB1JmWcYSFYUnBMVNJIaCR2Q-TWXmZyxk_OK13kdtOq_RCKuimeNFiBLOX5KLaHMvxBed2isuHtLpO5qfvXzKydC/s1600-h/November+08+039.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275990020035522466" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP9bsID8iwDFMBbYe_JfawxTnwT6qZPMVkL4nc17cU7z8r4xEHCMauAB1JmWcYSFYUnBMVNJIaCR2Q-TWXmZyxk_OK13kdtOq_RCKuimeNFiBLOX5KLaHMvxBed2isuHtLpO5qfvXzKydC/s200/November+08+039.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div> <div> </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><div> </div></div></div></div></div><br />So as Christmas draws closer my quest for the "perfect" picture changes to just getting a picture of both boys that will fit in the frame of the card. One afternoon while out walking Hershey I bring the camera & santa hats with the hope that today is the day... I am getting the boys positioned, ready to place the hats atop their heads, Bill has the camera ready, I jump up and down, sing, dance, act silly, do anything I can to get both boys attention and make them smile then click...I hear it, Bill says "I think we got a good one". After our walk I come inside to download the picture and this is what I see..........<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275981808245309586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoRdCd_R1_AzFQohl7Gw6GOgdVmkjOALR0R0j5b0_OlknJOED2HuAl2_1gv1inVoweiluuu1WlAJEJaAB6KDU6x0thpU2xHJBTPdRIHfoV0PNlUV7UEeBPEA4UY04B26I2IZ8PWS_5aiAJ/s400/dec+08+011.jpg" border="0" />Are you kidding me!!!!!!!gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079606185236142684.post-41761708613743162132008-12-02T12:31:00.003-05:002008-12-02T12:42:10.285-05:00Florida Oceanographic Center<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMwKYYYWqIJ3J4c7ph0tgd0P-INXhcU7wQkNHAgwFU02IInIPiFYwtq6vBA9An7EYrFbQ1vJXYng45iSjS_m69t2pHHI4wpsl0YbYVcutY8wGcTpoE66ovQCuIWJE_AmHNi44IQkft_NGR/s1600-h/dec+08+006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275247358637649890" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMwKYYYWqIJ3J4c7ph0tgd0P-INXhcU7wQkNHAgwFU02IInIPiFYwtq6vBA9An7EYrFbQ1vJXYng45iSjS_m69t2pHHI4wpsl0YbYVcutY8wGcTpoE66ovQCuIWJE_AmHNi44IQkft_NGR/s320/dec+08+006.jpg" border="0" /></a> This past weekend I took the boys and our nephew Daniel to the Florida Oceanographic Center for a few hours. We had never been and didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a fun outing for us. There was a big Sting Ray pool where the boys got to touch the sting rays. There were game fish to feed and shells to be dug in the sand. We will definitely be going back.<br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-y4g_W6t1vHQmgY0bcR1GrWIZQ85gZSHQusMqJ84oUVhtvCkMjBdfXNWdCz4KPA6vAepHUbJXOXES819t3xk4fSYnOSA5EX33oEvpMLE0ovpRmUDdjb_OqF6lwMWPXb0I1D2hE4JyIJQA/s1600-h/dec+08+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275247199765667362" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-y4g_W6t1vHQmgY0bcR1GrWIZQ85gZSHQusMqJ84oUVhtvCkMjBdfXNWdCz4KPA6vAepHUbJXOXES819t3xk4fSYnOSA5EX33oEvpMLE0ovpRmUDdjb_OqF6lwMWPXb0I1D2hE4JyIJQA/s320/dec+08+004.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6WLtJe7-U0e3EtkSBi7rp8nwgy0HDPJcVye33vHFvUwo2bvTbepk_yOqpXM_S6yEIr15CbAjyETMlvKgk6h9kALMDp3o3-xYmloUex4qJUgYMTEZAIN6bMU8j1PCk6dGLuXxSADPX99ww/s1600-h/dec+08+007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275247201351713170" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6WLtJe7-U0e3EtkSBi7rp8nwgy0HDPJcVye33vHFvUwo2bvTbepk_yOqpXM_S6yEIr15CbAjyETMlvKgk6h9kALMDp3o3-xYmloUex4qJUgYMTEZAIN6bMU8j1PCk6dGLuXxSADPX99ww/s320/dec+08+007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjmXz0Cg8Y5h9mR0nvnPZQkUuxlOYLG9ZdYx5UVYf5mZ8-5R8eFvmFTGxB-ozIBaUgogHk98460d3kSvN9jOnlImLLVyO_-C8nSixppIdyimYP1-OHd9LkVO3z9u4WTIfOU-pe1oDgpqm/s1600-h/dec+08+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275247190420886354" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjmXz0Cg8Y5h9mR0nvnPZQkUuxlOYLG9ZdYx5UVYf5mZ8-5R8eFvmFTGxB-ozIBaUgogHk98460d3kSvN9jOnlImLLVyO_-C8nSixppIdyimYP1-OHd9LkVO3z9u4WTIfOU-pe1oDgpqm/s320/dec+08+003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyLAEl-UeQtjlTJOWVHxKQE1dT78evZhbz0sb8I0Zg8lSuGYApSsgtmnRHLLv_VXe_8OmRHID_I2BcdXijX1KIJLWES5xcxLuSs1R0CsAB5iP5HmSAY_yo5pdDuyv1e8oTjrddbK8WKh3/s1600-h/dec+08+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275247182424932898" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyLAEl-UeQtjlTJOWVHxKQE1dT78evZhbz0sb8I0Zg8lSuGYApSsgtmnRHLLv_VXe_8OmRHID_I2BcdXijX1KIJLWES5xcxLuSs1R0CsAB5iP5HmSAY_yo5pdDuyv1e8oTjrddbK8WKh3/s320/dec+08+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079606185236142684.post-28502512475863301752008-11-28T15:29:00.005-05:002008-12-02T12:31:25.207-05:00Happy Thanksgiving<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273808559872496946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOUietreh3eHMbFSff4bOE9eyrt1BL8MqNFp4LLLrmlY-5QgDe_QUcPX9XnYpOILBvG7xFERkT-B_hfrk6di2vgz9FW1SvZczwC9d28ELgemWjgaYKCTO2KI4CgYf9cn-HrpQ1kyGqJWTJ/s320/November+08+060.jpg" border="0" /> Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, that is what we did...Turkey, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie..these are just a few of the things we enjoyed this Thanksgiving. We had the pleasure of sharing a meal with some of our neighbors, it was a wonderful evening.<br /><br />I have been trying to teach Will about being "thankful" for the people and things in our life. I want him to know how blessed our lives are and that every thing we have is from God and we should never take for granted the things he has blessed us with. At night before we say our prayers I will ask him who he wants to thank God for. These are some of his responses mommy, daddy, Jomondo (his stuffed dog),Ms. Peach & Ms. Jeannie (his teachers), Roonie & Pawpaw, Pop & Ms. Tara, and Babi. Some of the more interesting "things" have been candy, Thomas the train, his closet door and the picture of the helicopter on his wall. It is very cute to see what he comes up with.<br /><br />I will end this post by telling what I am thankful for....<br />* Jesus Christ, my savior & provider he loves me in spite of myself, shows me compassion and grace and is my purpose for this life.<br />* My husband Billy, my soul mate and best friend. He makes me laugh and is my biggest fan.<br />* My boys....they just make me smile. When I feel their little arms around my neck, it is the greatest feeling.<br />* My parents, they love unconditionally...me and my boys<br />* Our nephew Daniel who spent this Thanksgiving week with us, he was such a big help to me around the house and with the boys, we love having him in our home.<br />* My home, food in our pantry, beds, clean water, A/C & electricity<br />* Friends and neighbors that truly make Palm City our home<br />These are only a few of the things I am thankful for, we are so blessed. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.gingerrbliss@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065612711675931967noreply@blogger.com0
