Category: What we’re up to

We have moved to a new host, and in the process migrated the entire site to a new platform. If you were registered on our old site, you’ll have to re-register here. Sorry about this, I know it’s a real pain in the rear, and I really tried to avoid it but couldn’t.

The gallery is getting migrated but may take a few days as it’s over 1000 pics!

We hope you’ll like the new format; be patient with us, as I’m sure the overall look and feel will change a few times as we get settled in.

Here we are, end of May and pushing right on into June.  Recently went to Oklahoma for 20 year class reunion.  Had a blast and was able to spend time with a lot of great friends and roam around the town I was born and raised in.  Forgot how small is was.  Did some sight seeing too.  Mostly just hung out and enjoyed our time there with family and friends.  Boys only have about 5 days of school left and then summer break.  Hopefully we’ll be hurricane free once again this year.  Summer heat and humidity already getting on my nerves, but what can ya do!  Have a great summer everyone….until next time….

Here we are….May.  Only 7 more months and we can put up the Christmas tree…LOL.  Hot weather has hit Florida and will no doubt be here with us until at least Christmas.  All we need is for the humidity to set in now and we’ll be on our way.  The boys are just hanging in there until summer break.  I’ve been helping out at the school and went on a field trip recently with Matt’s class.  I put those pictures in our family area.  Devin has had his first fender bender and so his car is totaled.  No one was hurt, thank goodness, other than the nice little first car we lucked out and found for him.  Long story short, the other driver was at fault but walked away from the accident and so we have a hit and run on our hands basically, or that’s what the cops are filling it as.  I put some pictures of the damage…not that it’s that interesting, in our family area too.  Figured someone in our family might want to see them.  So…today Robert and Devin are starting the process all over and going out car shopping.  Other than that, I’m just counting down the days until my class reunion in Oklahoma.  I’ll have plenty of picture to put on here from that.  Until next time….

Well, here we are… Almost April.  Haven’t done much lately, just the same old thing.  Kids trying to get through until Spring Break, which they don’t get until the second week in April.  I think both are ready for summer break.  Seems we are past the cold and on to hot and humid already.  Bring on the heat and high electric bills.  We took the boys to Lowry Park Zoo yesterday.  Put those pics on here under sight seeing.  So if ya want to see a bunch of animals you certainly are welcome to look.  Snaped a few pics of the Bucs stadium over in Tampa and the stadium in St. Petersburg for the Rays and some of the Skyway on our way back from the zoo.  Figured what the heck.  Becky, Richard and the kids all came to visit for their Spring Break.  Had a great time with them!!!  I also added some pics of a lunch and fashion show that I took last year at the Village of the Arts that I went to with mom (Tina).  Will have more since they are doing it again this year in a month or so.  Other than that, just wishing for some much needed rain in our area.  Until next time…

Well, here we are…another year.  I’m sure this one will go by just as quick.  Can’t believe it’s almost March already.  Last weekend we went to the Florida State Fair.  We’ve lived here for over 18 years and figured it was about time we went and checked it out.  All I have to say is… it’s a state fair, worth about the 8 dollars a piece we paid to get in.  Took some pics and thought I’d share those.  They are under the Sight Seeing category, but as usual, you have to log in to see our personal pics we don’t have open to the public.  Probably a little boring, but what can ya do to make farm animals and carnival rides seem exciting.  I also added more pics from our cruise we took back in ’06 that I totally forgot we did not have on here and some pics from a weekend trip we took to Orlando awhile back too.  Other than that, just keeping busy.  Devin recently got his license and a car and has been out racking up the miles and burning the gas.  I have to give him credit for picking up driving a stick in just a day.  You da man Dev!!!  Robert and I have had birthdays and now on to the rest of the year.  Hope it’s a great one!  Until next time…

We had a pretty uneventful New Years Eve here.  Just stayed at home and put out some snacks and Robert smoked some brisket and pork.  We had family over and just hung out at home and spent time together and watched TV and waited for the ball to drop.  Nothing exciting but we had a good time just being together.  Bought some lottery tickets which were just a waste of money…haha.  The holidays are over and now on to a New Year.  Hope it is a wonderful year for all our friends and family.  HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.  Until next time….

Today is Christmas Day and what a Christmas it has been.  Everyone made out very well this year and enjoyed every minute of it.  We had Christmas dinner last night and had everyone over.  Everyone then came back over this morning for a big breakfast and to open gifts.  It’s a warm one this year and we’ve actually got the a/c going.  Was hoping for cooler weather for Christmas, but what can we expect in Florida.  Everyone is just going to chill out here for the rest of the day, eat leftovers and play board games and watch movies.  I’ve put our Christmas pictures on here, but again, you have to log in to see them.  I guess all that is left of this year is New Years Eve.  I’ll have more pictures on here then.  Then on to 2009!!!  Hope everyone’s Christmas was a great one and I hope 2009 is a wonderful year for everyone.  Until next time…

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Ours was great…filled with family and way too much food.  As always we had everyone here for dinner.  Can’t believe Thanksgiving is over and now moving on to Christmas and then a New Year.  Where has this year gone?  I’m sure everyone is now in shopping mode and counting those dollars.  Happy Holidays everyone!  May they be the best!!!

We recently bought year passes to Cypress Gardens and I’ve added some pictures we took when we went yesterday.  Through out the year the passes are good for, I’m sure I’ll be adding more in that catagory.  We really enjoyed this theme park.  The boys rode more rides than any other theme park we’ve been to.  It’s a nice family park with just about something for everyone, from animals to gardens to ski shows to rides and even a water park area.  Can’t beat that!!!  Just thought we’d share our pictures with our family and friends.  Other than this we’ve just been enjoying the summer time.  Haven’t done much hiking due to the heat and humidity…been sticking to the treadmill at home in the a/c.  We plan on picking back up on the orienteering after they start again once the hottest summer months are over.  As usual…we’ll be adding more pictures often.  We’ve got birthdays coming up next month and the month after….
