Toddler Falls 30 Feet (He survives)

http://www.fox6now.com/news/witi-20110822-toddler-fall,0,5598036.story

   Oh my gosh, this happened to me at the county fair when I was a kid. I wasn't a toddler, I think I was in kindergarten. We were at the very top of the bleachers watching the demolition derby. When it was over we got up to leave. I reached for my moms hand and fell right through and landed on my back.
  There were cross bars and beer bottles all over the place. I still think it's a miracle I didn't hit or land on anything. I remember being in pain, scared and having the wind knocked out of me. I couldn't move, my mom was by my side in no time. She was just as scared as me.
   An ambulance came, a paramedic checked to see if I could move my head and arms, I could. She looked in my eyes with her light then carried me over to the ambulance. I squeezed her fingers and fallowed them with my eyes.
   After what seemed like forever, the paramedic said I was fine, I don't think my mother was, though, and I was able to enjoy the rest of my time at the fair.
   I am so happy that this little boy, Brady, only fractured his arm. I hope he recovers quickly and is able to get back to his playing. I also hope his mom doesn't get plagued with nightmares.

From Smith & Wesson to Canon

   Last night, Saturday, Jacob and I went out for a night on the town!! WhooHoo!
   First, we had a voucher from livingsocial.com for "One-Hour Gun Range Rental for Two with Handgun Rental, Targets, Two Rental Sets of Eye and Ear Protection, Two T-Shirts, and 50-Piece Box of Ammunition from National Armory Gun Store & Gun Range". It was my first time shooting a gun, it was very intimidating. Can't wait to go back!
   I didn't know what to expect my first time pulling the trigger. I knew it wasn't going to be anything like in the movies but other then that, I really didn't have another frame of reference. It was terrifying, shocking, exciting. I pulled the trigger, there was a blast of fire, there was a shock wave, there was a rush, a high, there was no hole in the target!!! WHAT!!! How did I miss the target that was standing 10 feet away from me?!?!
   "Oh, you have to line the back thingy up with the front thingy. Now I got it." Bang. Bang. Bang...
   I think I did OK for my first time, I will definitely be going back.

We left the gun range and drove to Lefty's Tavern and Grill in Coral Springs to hear a great band, Shakey T. They were awesome!!! It was a great night and the music was fantastic. If you are local and you want to have a good night with great music you need to check out Shakey T. https://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=143103869110187

I put down the Smith & Wesson and picked up the Canon ;o)

  

I Am a GW Girl

     I love shopping at Goodwill, we have found so many great deals. I found this white milk glass bowl for $2. There was no way I could leave it behind.
    Also, my daughter's quilt is starting to fall apart. This quilt is very special to me because a couple of very special people helped me make it so we have put it away. I started looking for fabric to make her a new one but then I found this full size green, pink and white quilt. There are no stains or holes, it is in perfect condition. I bought it for $5!!!
    The table is a sewing machine cabinet that was given to me by a friend of a friend. I had one when I was a child but didn't know how to sew then. It was left in New York when I moved to Florida. This one needs a lot of tlc but I think I'm up for the challenge.

Daddy's teaching Jakey to play the guitar.

"I can do it on my own now!" Strum strum.

Zion looks like he's glaring.

Now he looks a little hungry.

Mmmm, how does that taste?

Hey, That's a nice smile! Finally.

Sweet Paris Rayne!

Yup, that's my family!!! :o)

Paris Rayne

  It's a little late, Paris' birthday was over two weeks ago. We were all sick so some things were pushed back. We did try to make her day special for her and I think she felt it. I stayed up really late, with a fever of 102, so I could make a cake, lemon with strawberry frosting. I left it on the table so she would see it when she got up. She was not expecting anything, because I was so sick, so when she saw the cake she almost broke out in tears.

 Happy (late) Birthday Sweet Girl!! <3

  

Happy 4th of July

This year my family and I spent the 4th of July at Mullins Park. You know it was a great day when the kids tell you they are having the best time ever!!!

First we played at the playground then ate some food . After that the kids played on a bounce house slide then we watched the fire works.

 Paris likes to be in the kitchen. She wanted to bake muffins, badly! Jacob took her to get the best muffin mix ever, Jiffy Blue Berry. Yum! I know, from scratch is better but we love Jiffy. She did everything herself but wanted Daddy there to watch her. She sure loves her Daddy <3

There is no after picture, the muffins were devoured!
