New Pictures Just in.. Hunters' 1st Monster Jam Truck Show!

Hunter was so excited to go see the monster trucks, when we got there all he would do it check things out.. looking at all the monster trucks and then he spotted the 4-wheelers and of course wanted to RIDE THEM. When the show started he was pretty startled by the engines and held tight to mommy and daddy. We covered his ears cause it was loud but he enjoyed watching it. He would say "oh no they crashed" whenever they would do a big jump. After about 30 mins he was ready to go.. he kept telling us "I want to go home" and then we would say o.k. lets say bye to the monster trucks and he wanted to stay... we stayed for about an hour and then headed home. As for Steve and I.. well I thought it was kinda boring..to be honest I was hoping for some serious jumping & crash em up show.. oh well. The demolition durby was funny thou.. it was a fun night just cause we were together as a family! :)

Redneck Kid

I'm so raising a redneck kid. I totally was cool with Hunter being outside all day, riding his 4-wheeler, even wanting to sit on the tractor or drive the lawn mower but now..... Hunter wants to go pee pee outside and watch monster trucks on Utube.... What is going on in the white house?!!?! Which leads us to.... our next family outing. We are going to "Monster Jam" in Ocala Friday. We haven't told him yet for fear of him asking a million times when do we get to go. I just have to laugh. What a boy! (Pictures to come soon of our family adventure... Steve said it will be a site to see for me) LOL

One last girls night with Marie! We love ya girl!

Over the shoulder boulder holder..... LOL

O.K. Ladies.. i'm sure you will understand this completely.. BRA SHOPPING! WOW what an experience this can be. I finally broke down and got a new bra. You know the phrase "my cup runneth over" well yeah my bra cup just wasn't holding things in and above my belly button (lol) :)~. So I had to make a decision, go get a boob lift or a new bra! Hummm so off I went to the mall, Jcpenny just wasn't doing it for me so next I went to Victoria Secret i'm feeling better all ready, I tried on lots of bras and then AHHHHHHHH I found the one that put the "twins" back where they belong. (o.k. so i'm so laughing right now I hope I don't offend anyone!) I'm just expressing my feelings about the joys and changes of a womans body after kids. Any one that has nursed a baby could understand or shoot just getting older... gravity will do it to ya... anyways - Thanks victoria secret you have given me a whole new look. O.k. so i'm not a victoria secret ANGEL by any means but at least I feel like one, under my clothes :).


Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E and F are the letters used to define bra sizes? If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood for... It is about time you became informed:

A ... Almost Boobs
B ... Barely there.
C ... Can't Complain!
D ... Dang!
DD... Double dang!
E ... Enormous!
F ... Fake
G ... Get a breast reduction
H ... Help me I fell over and can't get up

Enjoying a beautiful day at disney with family















Hunter and Alicia drove to Orlando on Friday to see family that came into town. Alicia's Uncle Neil,Aunt Michelle and cousins Madison and Tanner all came for a couple of day from Utah. (where there was SNOW... so they are happy to be in sunny hot Florida) We got to go to Disney on Friday and then Saturday went shopping in the morning and then hit the lake in the afternoon with wave runners and a BBQ. It was a fun couple of days. Hunter loved playing with his cousin Madi. And it was nice visiting with Tanner. My Aunt and Uncle are pretty cool to hang out with so it made the trip even better. Thanks to my brother and sister in law for letting us crash at there place... We have a blast, it was a fun weekend!

(oh wait.. how could I forget about the hole in my skirt... oh yes... I got to disney and realized that I had a hole in my skirt... I was walking and just happen to feel something and yup there is was..you could see into my buttocks cause my "underwear";) had a hole in it also, so I must had ripped it somehow... and my buttocks was showing... needless to say it was good that I had a jacket to wrap around and that I caught it in time....( I was thou the "butt" of all the jokes.. tee hee :) Notice the picture above, with my jacket wrapped around...

Hunter went Poo poo in the POTTY!!!! Wooo Hooo!

Some of you know Hunter is potty training... he has been doing really great for about 2 weeks with the peeing, still working on the pooping on the potty thou. Then this morning I put him on the potty and bribed him with GUM (he is always asking for it when I chew it )maybe he would go poo poo then if would give him some gum. That did that trick! HUNTER WENT POO POO IN THE POTTY!!! I was so happy, excited, proud... all of the wonderful mommy feelings.. I just smiled and got even more excited when I thought about it 30 min later. I think I was more excited then Hunter. O.k. I know what a silly mom I'm. Anyways I just wanted to share our fun breakthrough...

Fun Filled Days with Friends and Family

Alicia's silly tan line from the last visit... wow what a WHITE girl!

Ceder Key seems to be the fun place to be right now.... it is close eneough for the kids to enjoy the ride and great for the kids to enjoy as well as moms. Last week Hunter and Alicia went with Emily, Jocelyn, Joy and her kids Tian and Noelle. We had a blast spending the day together. Soaking up the rays and sharing girl time while the kids played.

Emily came in town for 4 days and there are some fun pics of the kids on the trampoline, 4-wheeler and special time with Papa Tom. Emily and Alicia's dad came over and hung out with us. Jocelyn and Hunter love there papa and enjoy when he swings them and plays with them.

Mommy Fun Day at Cedar Key

Lacy, Kira and Alicia loaded up all 4 kids in the SUV and headed to Cedar Key Friday morning,It was the most beautiful day. The kids did great in the car there and then on the way home I think all the kids needed naps (Hunter was teasing Joseph and driving him crazy.. sorry Lacy). Cedar key is only about 40 min away so it was not a bad drive at all. We got to swing, run, have a picnic, play in the water and even see some wierd looking shrimp thingy... I couldn't tell you WHAT it was. We really had an enjoyable day. It was fun chatting as mom's and watching the kids interact and enjoy the day.
