Pool Wowes

It has been raining since last Thursday. We received our annual rainfall this week. We live very close to the St. Johns River. I am waiting for the water level to reach my back yard. So far the only thing that is ready to overflow is our pool.

Cricut cutting machine

There have been so many times I would wake up in the middle of the knight and flip through channels only to find one infomercial after another. There have been a few times I saw this Cricut being demonstrated and immediately said, that looks awesome. I always thought it was one of those things that looks to good to be true. Well……let me tell you. My husband got me the Cricut cutting machine for Mothers Day. It is better than I could have ever imagined. It is so detailed. With one cartridge it can give so many diverse die cuts. The best thing about this machine is it’s so easy to use. I’m sold.

What a wonderful Mothers day.

First thing, My men made me a great Breakfast.

Then they got some great gifts.

The Cisco Kid made me a special vase with hand made flowers and his picture on a Daisy.

(LOVE IT).

Two DVD

The Family Stone

&

Moonstruck.

To make my life easier for Scrapbooking, I got the Cricut die cutting machine. That is a big WOW!!!

For and ending to a great day we went to the Melting Pot.

This is one of those time when all you can say is…..WHAT!!!!

My Husband (Chief), my son (The Cisco kid) and myself were coming out of a store. I was distracted by the on coming traffic. I casually looked up when I heard Chief say, NOW THAT JUST AINT RIGHT!!!!. I LOOKED UP AND THIS IS WHAT I SAW………

Easter and all the fun

I love Easter!!!!!  I love coloring eggs, the traditional easter food, the easter basket,  our special breakfast and and the easter bunny cake.

 

He loves cake batter.

Easter weekend we went over the Armstrongs house.  Spoon egg race with Emily and Ashley
Easter afternoon we went over to the Cherry's house for a great Easter Egg hunt with Grant and Ainsley.

The boy loves his Fire trucks.

The atack of the silly string!!!!  One of the gifts the easter bunny left.  

My baby is now 6 years old. Oh!!!! My!!!

The Cisco Kid loves My Gym. The Coaches are so energetic and fun. They are so full of energy. Not only did they entertained the kids they also entertained the parents.

The Cisco Kids party theme is Scooby Doo.

Every year I make a special themed cake for the Cisco Kids Birthday. He loves everything about the fire department. He asked if there was a Scooby Doo firefighter. Sure enough, when I got on the internet and googled Scooby Doo Fire Man, those figures came up. We thought they were perfect.

He specifically wanted the truck tipped over with flames coming out of it and a house on fire. I had Publix make the basic cake with a road and the flaming house. We added the Truck, pretzels to look like wood and Scooby Doo.

Snacks and Pizza.

Now for the fun and games.

At the end of the event the Birthday Boy makes his grand enterance for a photo op.  

Of course he is going to get the house that is on fire.
