Waterlogged

I thought how the camera captured the water on this picture was amazing.

Wow, those are some big arches.

This is in Town Disney at Disneyworld. This is the McDonald's right by the lego store and the big lego dinasour in the water. These are the biggest McDonald arches I have ever seen, and my son Cade LOVES McDonald's. In fact just 2 days ago he asked if he could go to McDonald's and informed me it was the best restaraunt in our town. HA HA. The sad thing is, he may be right. I live in podunkville.

Here is my super kids at the crab trap. It was about noon on New Years Eve, the place was deserted except us and maybe one other table. Always great food, and always great service. Love having the beautiful ocean just outside my window while I'm eating. It was chilly so the windows were all secured tightly but the front and back doors were open wide so the fresh air was pouring in while we were eating the "bounty from the sea" we were dining by.

Here is my husband, my kids, and my mother and father in-law. They are spending this winter by the sea in nearby Navarre Florida just West of Destin. We enjoyed our visit with them so much and I am so glad they have the opportunity to enjoy this time together doing something they both enjoy doing.

It's meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Names in the sand in Destin.

My kids love all their family members, but there is something mighty special about their Grandma Donna. On the beach in Destin Florida, and thinking about what their Grandma was doing 900 miles away. I wish she would of been there to enjoy this time with them and put her own footprints in the sand. We only have one life so we all better get to living it.

Disneyworld with the kids. It was a beautiful place FULL of people. We saw many new and exciting things while we were there. This is near a restaraunt in Disney, I think both kids were coming off of a major sugar high.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Me kids n the gallows, afore they hav to walk the blimy plank. ARGH

Sweet little Minnie Mouses fireplace. Really neat in her house, but definate signs of millions of people walking thru a year. Also signs of needing a good spring cleaning. :0)

Caragan and Cade walking hand in hand on the beach. Wow, takes my breath away to see my babies here.

What a beautiful way to spend the last day of the year of 2009. Destin Florida beach sunset. The next time the sun looked like that, it would be the year 2010. A year of new beginnings, new hopes, new dreams while old ones are laid to rest. What a beautiful evening we spent. Goofing around watching the kids get wet in 50 degree weather wondering if they would catch their death of colds. They are fine, and I have the memories of this beautiful sight and this beautiful time. I don't know why the ocean attracts me but I just feel so peaceful next to the water. It gives me the feeling of "what really matters" the tide will come in and go out no matter what happens. It's a bit of time standing still to me, yet never ending. I hope this makes sense to the reader.

Caragan and Cade, during the Christmas morning flurry of unwrapping gifts. I thank God that my family is alive and healthy and that we know the true meaning of Christmas and how very special and important the significance of the day is. I strive to make my children understand to pass these traditions of thankfulness and celebration of Jesus birth to their children so that all this is not lost in tomorrow's society. I love my kids so very much and I thank God for them.

Christmas morning. I remember the anticipation. When I was a kid at home with my 2 sisters and my parents I remember literally waking up in the middle of the night going into my parents room Christmas morning and asking if we could open our presents. I remember mother saying, no...it's to early, go back to bed. Yeah right.....it was Christmas morning. Hello, we would go back to our room and 6 or 7 minutes later, we were asking again, until our poor parents got up and Christmas morning got under way. I don't have that feeling inside anymore on Christmas morning, but I remember it and try and make my childrens Christmas special, like my parents made it for me.
