Happy Belated Birthday Mom

Happy Belated 58th Birthday Mom. I avoided writing this post yesterday on your actual birthday because it was to difficult for me to do. I'm dealing slowly with your death and hopefully I will find the final closure I need. I have accepted that you are gone but that doesn't make it any easier. You died way too soon and way to young. Somehow I know your still with me in spirit, I swear sometimes I feel you and dad giving me hugs. I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and say I miss you so very much.

Here are a couple of photo's of my mom some you may have seen, hopefully a couple you haven't.

Christmas in the Park

Every year our city sponsors Christmas in the Park. This is where different organizations like schools, boy and girl scouts, and other groups enter a contest decorating the shelters for Christmas. Every year I take the kids to see the lights and we decide what one we like the best. I took a few pictures but most didn't come out right :( (I think I need a new camera). The park department will set up a little house for kids to see Santa (Faith's favorite part) and this year they added carriage rides around the park and train rides. Here are a couple of pictures I got.
A Charlie Brown Christmas (This was one of our Favorites)

This is one that plays to music. Sorry it's so blurry but my other pics looked worse.

Faith visiting the Park Santa. My pic was blurry so I paid for a copy from them.

Foggy Morning

A couple of weeks ago I got up early to keep the car and it was so foggy. I took these pictures on my way back home. I had to stop at a gas Station to get a couple of shots. I know the fog could have been worse but this is the worst I had seen here for a long time and some of this had settled before I got the pictures taken.

Update on the kitties

Our new additions to the family are doing great. Both of them are getting along well and the youngest is finally playing and not hiding so much. But today I'm preety sure we may have to change Anastasia's (Annie) to Alex lol! I think she's a boy it's still kind of hard to tell. Oh well! We'll love him just the same.

Do You Remember....

Do you remember.... wait a minute this will prove I was an 80's child lol. anyway Do you remember the commericals for the Dominos NOID. For some reason this hit me so I thought I would post it. My parents gave me a huge stuffed NOID when I was younger. It was one of my favorite toys LOL! For those of you who don't remember here is a youtube clip.

*Don't forget to turn off my music player to hear the commercial*


These old commercials use to make me laugh. Here's is actually the reason I remembered these commercials Family Guy used the NOID in one episode. Here is the clip for that.



I'm not saying I agree with Family Guys version but it did remind me of the old vintage commercials.
