Super Hero Brother

I love watching Daniel being the little brother, especially now that he's starting to get older and he can hold his own, a little bit. In this pic, we had just had dinner to celebrate Great Grandma Hicks' birthday, and they had both been so quiet and good ~ it was nice to see them running around on the restaurant's huge porch, just being brother and sister, laughing and playing.

Deep As The Ocean

With my recent health problems, Jay really stepped up not only to be a great nurse, but also to handle all the day-to-day stuff at the house and with the children. This is my thank you card to him. More than ever, I realize how deep my love for him has grown.

Olivia

Who's not addicted to photo masks these days? I'll be the first to raise my hand and admit my addiction. And now it's just gone a step further. ViVa Artistry's now offering custom masks with names. I think they are so cool. Check it out:

Lanterns of Love

I found this poem by Travis J. Morgan entitled "Lightning Bug" and just thought it was perfect!

Dusk falls,
and on the tips of bent blades
little glowing heartbeats rise
illuminating the darkness

Lanterns of love
hovering through the air
their tails set afire
lovers blinking night affair

Moons mini murmurs
levitations of light
pulses of passion
fashioned in flight

Golden stars of the land,
echo nights constellated sky,
astral illuminations,
of the stellar firefly

make yourself merry

Last Sunday, we got together to celebrate my Tee's (my sis-in-law) birthday. We were actually trying to take a good picture of Tee with her daughter and her mother (3 generations), but one or the other of them was pulling a face. They were cracking their own selves up ~ thus the title for this layout is perfect ~ make yourself merry. Who needs entertainment when you have these guys around?

Sweet

This is my cousin Cassie's daughter ~ they are here visiting and I was able to take some pics yesterday at my mom's. Tyler is a gorgeous girl and she's so sweet, too! She's such a little mama to her little brother, just like Olivia.

FOBTY ~ Sweet Shoppe Blog Challenge

From Our Blog To Yours Sweet Shoppe Challenge is to list 5 TV shows that I've seen every episode of OR want to see every episode of . . . so here goes . . .

#1 - LOST
Yes, I have seen every episode. Yes, I have seen some episodes more than once. Yes, I am going back to rewatch from the beginning during the long, unbearable span between seasons. Yes, I watch it because of Sawyer. SO? LOL!

Seriously, the story line is incredible and I just could keep watching it hour after hour after hour.

#2 - Gilmore Girls
I have not seen every episode. Some seasons, I've seen episodes three times in syndication. I know I've seen at least one entire season 'cause I borrowed the DVDs from my sister, but I can't remember what season. And it may have been more than one season. I'm not sure how I missed out on this when it was the hot show to watch, but I did, so this is definitely one that I want to see every episode.

#3 - American Idol

I missed the entire first season except for the very last episode. From that time on, I've faithfully watched the series. I might have missed one or two episodes in various seasons. Nowadays, this is one of the shows I DVR and watch every time it is on.

#4 - The Love Boat
Before you begin pelting me with rotten vegetables, you should know that I was a young girl when I watched this show . . . at any rate, I do believe I've seen almost all of the episodes, and I still like to watch them on TV Land. Along with Fantasy Island. **ducking**

#5 - Family Ties
Yes, another throwback to days gone by, but seriously, Michael J. Fox was SUCH a cutie. I remember crying when Alex danced with Ellen to the song "At This Moment" by Billy Vera and The Beaters. I know. Sentimental drivel, but . . .

So that's it . . . what this has succeeded in doing is making me realize how much television I've watched over my lifetime!
