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.

Pics of My Kids

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.

Malachi with his little brother.

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!

My Birthday

  My day started with about 15 birthday greetings on Facebook which reminded my husband that it was in fact my birthday (not 2 days away). Then, just before noon, a package arrived! Sheri's Berries! (it was an anonymous gift but I figured out who it was) Guess what I had for lunch? Heehee! Just kidding, I have grown up a little bit, I only had 1 (and a half) and shared some with my family :o)
  My lovely family took me to Longhorn for dinner last night. Mmmm, I love Filet Mignon! I had to send it back, twice, but in the end it was worth it! I shared half with Paris who has very expensive taste, too. Her steak also should have been sent back.
  Our waiter was a real gem, we stayed almost till closing talking to him. He told us stories from when he grew up in Jamaica. He started working at 10 so he could go to school! He told our kids they should think themselves lucky, he never ate in a restaurant until he was 19 years old. My kids' eyes were the size of meatballs when he said that, LOL!
  After we left Longhorn I wanted to go walk around. We went to the beach and walked out on the pier. Oh it was so beautiful! Paris was a little nervous, she thought we were going to fall through. Daddy walked with her holding her hand. The drive home was a quiet one. All the kids fell asleep in the car soon after we started driving.
  When we got home Jacob carried Jakey into the house and set him down to use the bathroom. As I was going around the house turning off lights, maybe a half hour later, I wondered to myself  'why is the bathroom light still on?' I opened the door and found this...

Yes, it is what it looks like. He's asleep on the counter in the bathroom!!! LOL!!! The boy must have been tuckered out. I really hope he used the bathroom first!
  I was a pretty good day.

Thank You Beth!!!

  Have I ever mentioned that i love  L O V E  tulips? Well, I do, I love them and every time I see Tulips I think of my grandmother. She had a plethora of tulips in a myriad of colors.
  Below are picture I took of some tulips my very best friend bought for me. She knows me so well! Some are a little blurry, I was standing with one foot on a kids size chair and the other on an amp. I think pictures of me taking pictures would have been pretty funny.
