My Birthday

Today is my birthday, I'm a spring baby!  
My parents told me there were flowers blooming everywhere and the sun was shining on the day they took me home from the hospital. :)
Spring has always been my favorite season, but after having my baby boy in the summer there just might be a tie. :)  Do you have a favorite season?
My day will start with a doctor's appt., endocrine, and continue with family, food, sunshine, and hopefully some cake and flowers, basically a lot of fun. :)

Hope you have lots of sunshine in your day!

Happy Easter & Birthday!

Happy Easter!  

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter!  I'm spending my Easter-birthday with family. :)  The last time Easter landed on April 5th was in 1953!  

I'll share a few bunnies that are Kyle's from over the years and my beautiful tulips from hubby & son. 

Dogs & Cake = Happiness

Our sweet Roxy shared her birthday cake with her siblings.  I made her a peanut butter cake topped with plain yogurt & shredded carrots, really easy to make.  I do believe they liked it. :)

Kyle was assisting Roxy as she started to climb the table while we were singing Happy Birthday to her!
Roxy had a Princess plate because around here she's the Princess, but she's also boss of  her siblings. :)

Rambo is licking his lips just from looking at it. lol

Check out the focus and self control Rambo has on his piece of cake and
the balance he has in this swivel chair. ..impressive!

Such manners!

Rocket was sweet enough to clean up the crumbs. :)

Roxanne-Love is 10!

Happy Birthday to our Roxanne-Love!!  She's 10 yrs young today!!  She'll be enjoying fresh tennis balls in the backyard with her siblings and a delicious homemade Peanut Butter cake...yummy!  We'll have pics to share later this week. :) 
We love you, Roxy!

Roxy is a certified pedigree, AKC.  That wasn't important to us, but I met a lady at the baseball games when Kyle was playing little league that happen to be a breeder.  It all worked out and we have our sweet girl, Roxy.  I wanted to share a few or her immediate family names with you because they make me laugh!

Roxy's mother - Dam, Lady Annabelle IV
Roxy's father - Sire, Bocephus Kriminger 1st

Lady Annabelle's mother - Angel Sandlin
Lady Annabelle's father - Bailey Coco Liquore

Bocephus' mother - Sassy Dixie Of Rock
Bocephus' father - Cinnamon Coco

Hope you enjoyed these!
   

She actually posed for her photo today!!!
Roxanne-Love's 10th birthday.

My sweet girl, Roxy.
She wrapped herself up in this blanket.  :)

Happy 85th Birthday!

Today is my Grandmother's 85th birthday!  I love and respect this lady so much!  She will be visiting us in a few weeks and we'll have a big celebration just for her. :)  
Happy Birthday, Grandma!  I love you so much!

My Grandmother loves all animals.
She has made regular donations to WWF for as long as I can remember. :)

My 45th Birthday

I'm 45 today and lovin' it!  As long as the sun is shining and the birds are singing, I'm a happy girl!

Does anyone else have a birthday today or this month?  March, April, May and June are our busiest months for family birthdays. 

When my hubby and son asked what I would like for my birthday I told them the only thing I want is a chocolate-raspberry cake, made by the two of them.  YUMMY!   

This is a pic of me from my first birthday. :)

Now I'm off to enjoy my day!  Hope your day is wonderful! 

Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th!  
We will be grilling a lot of food...steak, shrimp, smoked sausage and chicken and eating these cupcakes that hubby and I made...yummy! :)
Also, a Big Happy Birthday to sweet Theresa in Texas...AKA TexWisGirl. :)  You are a beautiful person!  

Thank You!

Kyle wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes. :)  
We took him to Kobe Steakhouse for his birthday dinner and it was delicious!  They put on such a fun cooking show!  Afterwards we went to my parents home and pigged out on White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle cake from Cheesecake Factory.  Kyle has never been a fan of cake, but he loves this cake. :)  

Kyle, my baby boy, had a wonderful birthday!  Again, thank you for all the wishes!

Carissa and Kyle :)

No worries...this is only Sparkling White Grape Juice.
Kyle counted this over and over...LOL!

Thank You

Thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes!  Hubby and son made my cake and yes it was chocolate!  They used chocolate cool whip for the frosting and it was sooo good!  I had a wonderful day!

I've been very busy all week so, again I'm running a little behind on visiting blogs.  
I just hope that everyone is enjoying their spring!  Remember to take at least a few minutes out of your day and listen to the birds sing.  :)

Happy Birthday!

Today I'm 44 years young!  Woo Hoo!  I will be spending the day with my two favorite guys.  Later in the evening we will be with family and pigging out on pizza & hot wings!  Hopefully there will be a chocolate cake...yum!

Happy Birthday to Andy, Chatty Crone's GS!  
We share the same birthday!

Happy Friday to all my friends in blog land!  I'll catch up soon!  
Enjoy some more pics of Mama Mallard and her babies. :)

Good Mama.

Mom, you're embarrassing us! lol

I love this...

Happy Birthday Roxanne Love!

Today our sweet Roxanne is 8 years young!  She is extra happy today because she knows it's her day!  Kyle was singing to her before he left for school this morning, she loves it!  She will be having cake later today with her siblings. :)
Hope everyone is having a fabulous Friday!

Happy Birthday to My Hubby Wubby!

Today is my husband's 39th birthday!  Craig is my best friend and a wonderful dad and role model to Kyle.  We're truly blessed!

Happy Birthday Craigy!

I love you forever!

It's A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood...

On the way back home I decided to take some pics because it is so beautiful today.  Hubby is frying a bunch of fish in celebration of my Grandmother's birthday.  She turned 83 October 2 and we're celebrating at my home today with family.  We'll all sit around stuffing ourselves with dinner and then cake and pie until we can't hardly walk...lol!  The best part is listening to stories my grandma tells about her childhood and raising my mother and my uncles.  There are some dandy stories and we never get tired of hearing them. :)
By the way, I really liked Mister Rogers and his neighborhood!  I'm guessing I'm not alone. :)
Keep your hopes high and have a fabulous Sunday!

This is the little lake down the street from our home where we escorted
Mama Mallard and her babies, most of you probably remember her. :)

Gotta love this sign. :)

To the right is our clubhouse and that is where my baby boy,  the swimmer, learned how to swim...precious memories. :)
There are two pools, one for adults only and the other for kids and families so, everybody is happy. 

Finally home and it looks like a busy day for everyone.

Happy Sixteenth Birthday Son

Today my son Kyle is sixteen years young!  I can't believe my baby is 6'2" and soon to have his license.  It doesn't matter his age or size, he'll always be my baby boy.  Our favorite book from when he was a youngster is "Love You Forever".  Anyone who has a son, especially an only child should read this book.

Happy Birthday Kyle!

You are truly a blessing.

Always follow your heart.

We love you!
