Here is a photo from the snow blizzard we had in Feb. We had a house guest from church come get snowed in with us since her hubby was away. Her and her two year old daughter stayed about 7 days. During her stay we bundled up and took a VERY LONG walk in the middle of a blizzard condition to our local Walmart. What fun that was. She is pregnant and I have a hernia but we made it there with my two little ones. They did very well. Jimmy had her baby in the truck and don't you know he ended up at walmart to make sure we were okay. So sweet. So we opted to RIDE home with him instead of walking. I LOVED the snow....and we had a lot of fun in it.



I just love the fact that my little girl who just turned 7 still enjoys playing dress up with her friends. This pic is of her and Carissa and they had a lot of fun changing outfits over and over. So cute. I don't EVER remember doing that when I was young.



Recently my kids were invited to a bowling birthday party and they enjoyed it SO much that Jimmy and I took them bowling at our local lanes...(Esperanza) and they really had a great time. Both of them love it and must get this from daddy. He is an expert bowler.....who actually gets 300 once in a while.

Kyle got a job at Catamarans Seafood Restaurant in Solomons Island right on the pier. He loves it. Great money....the people he works with are nice and he really feels good when he dresses up. So here he is my gorgeous boy all ready for work. He can't stand me taking his picture so he won't look at me......


Well it's movie time AGAIN and so I will post more another day.

Be Blessed !!

Okay so yeah it's been forever since I have posted. I know. Just been busy and not taking the time to put my thoughts down in words.

A lot has happened so I don't know where to start other than to just start from today....and as I remember things from the last month I will post them also.

Today we went to Kristins' house for a play day. It's always fun cuz I have some adult conversation and the kids get to play with her children. She and I drank coffee and chatted. I kept the boys and she and Brianna went to pick up Kai from school. Then we all stayed outdoors in the sun (which was supposed to be rain today) so we were blessed there. She has a wonderful backyard with a swingset and slide and a trampoline so it's big fun for the little ones.

My muscles are really sore today because my son Kyle was showing me some exercises that I could do that would not affect my hernia. WOW. Really out of shape I guess. I am super feeling it today.

Did school with Bri this morning. She is reading so well now so it's so impressive to sit back and listen to her actually sounding the words out and figuring it out.



Well a few weeks ago Kyle was in a very bad car accident in Hollywood. It was on 235 at Clover Hill Road. 4 accidents have occured there within a two week period and one was a fatal. Sad. All due to a 15 foot pile of snow that the St. Mary's County snow removers piled high and wide at the median strip leaving NO room to see oncoming traffic. Horrible. Kyle was hit in rear end and the explorer he was driving was spun completely around. It scared him pretty bad. No one was injured thank the Lord. Here is a picture of the explorer. I am so thankful he was driving that instead of his Honda Civic. This truck is solid like a tank. Not sure if the outcome would have been so good for him had he been driving his car that day.... God is GOOD. His Hand is ON Kyle.....Thanks to good friends who pray immediately when I ask them to.




This pic below was the OTHER vehicle that hit Kyle. He was nice and had three very young children with him. Thank GOD for protecting angels.




School has been going great....we have lots of fun learning and Christian goes right along with the school program so he is getting smart right along with Bri. He loves it. Here is a photo of them in Art Class doing some painting.




Last Friday evening I attended our Annual Tea Party at church. All the ladies get together once a year and have a lot of fun drinking hot drinks and laughing and fellowshipping with one another. We each bring a tea cup filled with change to donate. This year the monies collected went to an orphanage in Haiti. Then we exchange tea cups with another lady there ...and add our name and the year to the tag. Each year the cups go home with a new person and you are supposed to pray for the last person on the tag everytime you use the cup during that year. Its neat. Some people wear silly hats.....and here is ONE really good example of that. This is Florence but she LOVES to be called FLO. lol




We have been thoroughly enjoying the spring like weather lately and have been outdoors A LOT. Having breakfast out on the back deck and cleaning the yard up. Three dogs can put a hurting on a back yard....they chewed up a lot of things...and so I was picking up for many hours. Not good for the back. Kyle helped me move the old pool and so under it was some nice playing sand for the kids. They call it the beach !! They got some buckets and shovels and love playing in the sand. I enjoy sitting out back and watching them play...



Well I could go on and on but I need to upload a lot more photos....and I am too sleepy right now to do that. Thanks for having patience with me. I do so much enjoy writing here and hope you will continue to read and keep up with my life.

Be Blessed !! T
