HaPpY BiRtHdAy 2 mE!

Well that time of year again, where I turn 25. LOL

No I'm not ashamed to say I'm 34.
The Gals I work with got my FAVORITE cake, carrot cake from the famous BUNNERY in Jackson. YUMMMMMY, sinfully! So rich this is how I felt after working on a piece for 4 hours. (I just love the picture! )

i'll show the unedited version another time!

OUR Time OUT

Wow, we were so excited. For the last two weeks, we had planned on spending the night in the theme room that Geary won when I nominated him for the Time Out Tuesday contest. He picked the Emerald Lagoon.



The room was quit small but very intricate in detail and painting, very interesting to look at. They had radio with rain, bird, thunder storm and wave sounds; not to mention the water fall on the side of the jacuzzi tub.

We went to dinner. Had an enjoyable time watching others fight there two year and try to eat. Made us miss Coltyn and yet it wasn't us at that moment.

Coltyn had croup the night before, so i had NO sleep with taking him to the ER at 5 AM. So we decided to soak in the "lagoon" and then hit the sack. The soak was cool, the tub filled from the ceiling, quite unusual; we turned on the jets &; relaxed. It was nice to have peace and have it as quiet as we wanted!

We then proceeded to try and sleep. The bed was HORRIBLE. I tossed and turned, Geary tossed and turned yet slept on and off. We both awoke with sore backs and very disappointed in the quality of our "time out". We needed a "time out" after the "time out". If we had paid for the room I would have called and complained in the night!! It was awful!

We grabbed a quick continental breakfast, visited our Chiropractor in and came home to catch a 3 hour nap in our own COMFY bed; before picking up Coltyn from the sitter's.

We decided that we will most likely not try these suites again. The price is comparable to the Black Swan Inn in and they have much bigger rooms and I've never heard a complaint about the beds.

Like I said before, they were intricately detailed and interesting to look at; but nothing to brag about for comfort!

Ideal Jack-O-Lantern for 2 year old





It's that time of year again for pumpkins turning into works of art. We were not sure since we just had Coltyn if we were going to go for the pumpkin artwork thing this year.
Well Geary found an awesome pumpkin and I found these Mr. Potato head like Jack-O-Lantern decoration set. So we let Coltyn's creativity go (okay a little help from dad).
Anyway I think it was the cleanest, quickest way to do a Jack-O-Lantern for a two year old that there is. Choices, creativity and fun!!!
Good Job Coltyn!!!

These BOOTS are Made for Walkin'.....




Coltyn is quite the card. Here he is wearing mom's cowboy boots.
He was so funny, we came around the corner and here he is walking in the boots, and as you can see they take up the whole length of his legs. He thought he was the coolest thing since sliced cheese.
