Spring please?

~~
A love Spring


So Spring warm weather upon with you watch
bloom flowers: Tulip, Orchid, Cherry ect..
That awake Springtime beautiful blue sky

With me, feeling of peace with Spring
Pollen of the flowers trees everywhere
To let you know the Spring coming
Green grass with flowers fill us with joy

Outdoor full of activities
Spring gently warm our souls
To the Spring 's love within you and me forever.

It's so gloomy here today,it's almost 9:00 am and I still have all the lights on just to be able to see.Yuk.I don't like this kind of weather.

I know Spring is right around the corner so I thought I'd post a few pretty pics to cheer myself up.

Father of The Bride again

Well anyone who knows me will tell you that this is one of my very fave movies.(the newest version with Steve Martin and Diane Keaton)
I don't normally like to watch the same movie over and over but I could watch this one a million times. How lucky could I get that I've caught it (and Father of the Bride 2!!) on like 3 times in the last couple weeks! My middle daughter saw me watching it earlier and just rolled her eyes and said"it's on AGAIN??" I don't get it really considering they watch the same "Spongebob Squarepants" over and over until they memorize it and can act it out in the living room.
I'm not a Spongebob" fan,never have been.I guess it's over my head.

I was really tired this evening but decided to go ahead and try out a recipe I'd been eyeing over at Pioneer Woman Cooks.
If you've never visited her cooking blog or her original "Confessions of a Pioneer Woman" you MUST go check her out!She is like Queen of the blogs and was actually one of the very 1st blogs I ever read.(I'm pretty sure her blog has made even made the news)
Her recipes are insanely good and the way she shows you step by step in pics,(not to mention how downright hilarious she is) well she's just inspiring.
So anyhoo tonight I made her pan fried ribeye and roasted garlic potatoes. WOW!
I can get intimidated cooking steak but I followed her lead and it was awesome! The roasted garlic was yummy and I'll probably smell like it for days but it was worth it!

On a bit more serious note(now serious is not a place that I venture into much in my blog~world but this hit home),this upset me so very much.a police officer basically attacking this 14 year old boy for riding his skateboard where he wasn't supposed to.I'm sure the boy being 14 and all might have smarted off but there is no excuse for this behavior. This hit home to me due to the fact that my oldest son is 14 and skateboards and has been known to do it in places that he probably shouldn't. I know there are safety issues etc etc but this to me just looke like a man with some anger issues taking it out a kid. He wasn't stealing or vandalizing,just skating.
I am all for abiding by the law and try to instill that in my kids but this just bothered me.I could easily put myself into that mothers shoes watching her child be treated like a criminal.
Very upsetting.

The Baltimore police officer seen in the clip at left has been suspended without pay while the city investigates the matter further. The clip, filmed last summer in the Inner Harbor, shows officer Salvatore Rivieri putting a teenager in a headlock, pushing him to the ground and confiscating his skateboard -- while telling the teen, "I'm not your father -- you give that attitude to your father. You give it to me, I'll smack you upside your head." While skateboarding isn't allowed in the Inner Harbor area, we had a hard time hearing what the teenager is saying -- but there are worse things in the world than being called "dude," no?

Happy Love day!

Happy Valentines day!

This day used to be all about me and the person I was dating or my hubby and what card or flowers I would get or which fancy restaraunt we would have dinner at.

Over the years it's changed and now it seems V-day is mostly all about the kids.Making out valentines to exchange at school,finding cute little candy hearts to suprise them with. It's so fun and they are so into it!(not to say I wouldn't love a card or some flowers tho!)

I got them all suprises for later (chocolate of course)and I'm going to make little heart shaped pizzas for them for dinner.

The Dr told us that my oldest son had broken and swelled blood vessels in his nose and that he needed to stay inside and put vaseline on them for at least 3-4 days.He's home from school again today.I'm so glad it wasn't something more serious!

Icy morning and sick kids

Well school was delayed 2 hrs this morning due to the icy roads. I woke up at 6 am to the wonderful sounds of my middle son vomiting all over our bedroom.This came after my oldest son woke me up at 2 am to tell me his nose was bleeding AGAIN,(the 3rd time in 2 days)
That scares me.He's also complaining of a headache and stomach ache so we're headed to see our Dr this morning.
He went to the skatepark over the weekend and he never tells me when he falls so I live in fear that he might have hit his head and not told me. I'm really hoping it's just his sinuses being irritated or something of that nature.
I can tell already it's going to be a long day.

Our anniversary~

Well,today is our 14th wedding anniversary. Wow,in some ways it seems like we've been together forever and in other ways it seems like yesterday.

I remember every detail of that day.

It's been a journey filled with love,laughing,kids( and more kids),and it hasn't always been easy.We've had some great times and some rough times but we get through it. I'm proud to say we've stuck it out together.
Here we are on Feb 12th 1994

Here is the little log chapel that we were married in.It sits in the foothills of the mountins of Tenn~
