Trenton Park

Gee, I've got to do better at posting!! I've gotten out of the habit and I am going to do better. Here's a couple pics okay more like 100 pics of an afternoon spent at the park with my Mama, Daddy and little nephew from a couple of weeks ago. Mama (aka Nannie to Kason) and Daddy were babysitting Kason and they decided to take him to the park in Trenton. So what's an Aunt to do but grab her camera and meet them. My sweet sister in law, Amy , loaned me a very nice Sony camera so I was dying to use it. The flash is broke so I have to use the natural light that God gave us and it was a beautiful day!

Here's some of my favorite pics:

I haven't been on a see saw in at least 15 years!

Nannie's turn to ride the see saw!

Kason would slide down and stop to give Pa a kiss. He's full of sugars!

He's so happy!!!

This picture reminds me of my Brandon at this age!

Here I come!

Special memories!!

Kason hugging Pa tight!

Kason was sitting on this little ledge and the next think I know this hapenned...look at next picture!

OPPPS, he fell! I couldn't help but laugh (once I knew he was okay!)

He said, "Nannie, that hurt!"...he was A okay! He's one tuff little guy!

We had such a fun afternoon seeing life through the eyes of a sweet little boy. We are very blessed to get to see Kason every week. :)

Until Next Time~

Babysitting the Sweetest Little Guy Ever!

     We've had such beautiful weather today. High of 78! I was at Karen and Jay's house at 8:55 this morning. I was playing with Kason all day! We went outside around 10:30 and I snapped pics of playing on the slide and playing in his Little House Tykes house. He picked me some flowers then he picked his Mommy some flowers! He is the sweetest little guy.
     Kason almost always has a gun in his hand. He knows he isn't suppose to shoot people. He's always shooting the bad guys or animals such as bears or wolves. He loves watching cowboy movies. Some of his favorite at the moment is Across the Great Divide, Old Yeller, & The Wilderness Family. He will ride in horse while watching his movies & of course he has in gun in one hand. He asked me the other day, "Aim Aim, will you ride double with me!!!" Bahahahaha..if y'all could have seen me stradling the back of his horse. It was hilarious!!
     Here's some pics from today:

He's such a big boy!

He loves playing outside!

I sent this pic to his Mommy and I think I gave her a heart attack! lol

Weeeeeeee!!!

Kason picked me some flowers! This little boy melts my heart!

He would rather use the window than the door! Typical little boy!!! :)

He loves his Little House made by Little Tykes! (they have the best play toys.)

These flowers were for his Mommy! I took this picture and sent it to her in a txt message. :)

Part Two!!

     Our fun day continued as I remembered I had a couple of gift cards for Build A Bear that I've had for at least two years! Karen, Kason or I had never been to Build A Bear so this was something brand new for all of us.
     It didn't taken Kason long before he had him a little doggie. It was fun watching him realize they were going to "stuff" him! When his doggie was almost all stuffed she told Kason that his doggie needed a heart. She asked him to grab a heart out of the bag and then told him to rub it together to make it nice and warm for him and then instructed him to put it in. How precious is that?

 It's so cute because after the lady handed him his stuffed doggie, she told him to give him a bath to get him all nice and clean! He loved doing that. What a great idea for them to have a bath tub. Kids love things like that!

I think Karen and I enjoyed Build A Bear as much as Kason did! 

A happy little boy with his doggie!

Kason even got a little doggie that matched his big doggie!

Guess who we spotted? Yes, it was the big guy aka Santa Claus.

Kason was literally dragging Karen over the bridge until I said, "stop, I have to take a pic!" hahaha!

Karen & I couldn't believe that Kason took off RUNNING to go see Santa! We didn't even think he would sit with Santa let along go running towards him! Wow. We were in shock to say the least.

Kason and Santa had lots of things to discuss. Santa asked Kason, "what do you want for Christmas?" Kason replied, "I want a two-tar (guitar)".  I suspect there will be one of these under his tree on Christmas morning. Oh what a fun age he's at!

While we were at the store A Christmas to Remember, Karen bought Elf on the Shelf!! I was more excited than Karen was because I followed a few blogs last year and I knew what it was all about. It didn't take Karen long to see what all the fun was about. Her and Kason read the book that night! Kason named his elf, "George Henry". That little kid does have an imagination!  

All in all, this was such an awesome day. I love seeing things through Kason's eyes. It makes me realize how fast time flies. It seems forever a go when my boys were this little. I have not taken these moments with Kason for granted! Thank you Karen, for sharing this special day with me. We were missing one person: our sweet Moma. She couldn't come because this is there busy season at the meat department so she was busy working. :(   (they have their own meat processing business & with it being deer season this is there busy time of year).

I thank God for all of my blessings which are many. I'm thoroughly enjoying being able to work from home and having a flexible schedule!

Blessings~

Thanksgiving Recap!

     I'm just now getting around to posting our Thanksgiving photos! I'm running only about 3 weeks behind! My saying is, "better late than never". I really want to be organized but it's sad to admit, I'm not!!

     Chuckie, Newman, Richard & Frances (my in laws) & I went to Clearwater, FL where my sister in law (my hubby's sister) & brother in law, Amy & Dennis live. We left on Wednesday afternoon and stayed until Saturday! I love going down there to visit them. They have a beautiful house that has plenty of room for all of us to stay with them. It's a 3 bedroom 2 bath home with a living room and a movie room! They have a movie projector with a pull down screen! Amy had some of her Mom & Dad's old 6mm movie tapes transferred to dvd. We all had a great time watching those movies! :)

     We didn't cook our Thanksgiving dinner until Friday since Colby & Sarah were eating at her parents house on Thursday. Colby and Sarah arrived Thursday night. :) Brandon didn't come with us because he had to work the day after Thanksgiving. He stayed over at Ken & Kris's home while we were gone. They are his second family!

     We were able to go shopping, yard selling, & visited the beach! It felt so good to have energy and to feel like going. Use to before taking Plexus, I would have been exhausted just packing our clothes. Really, that's the truth. I can remember Chuckie doing most of the packing, loading the car, etc because he knew I couldn't do it.
     I am still totally amazed with our Plexus products. It gives me energy, lessens my Fibromyalgia pain, and curbs my appetite. I've lost 31 lbs as of today! I've went from a tight size 20 to a size 16. I can't wait until I reach a 12!! That will be a totally awesome day when that happens.
     We were able to visit Reddington Beach. This is mine and Chuckie's favorite beach. It's not very crowded and is away from St. Pete Beach which is always very crowded. We found this beach a couple of years ago just by riding around. Dennis also took us to the Candy Kitchen. It's been there for over 60 years! They have all sorts of candy. My favorite was peanut better fudge. Yummy!!
     Here's some photos from our Thanksgiving break:

Newman and I just hanging out and relaxing. I just love this little fella so much!

My SIL, cooking green beans. (they were yummy!)

Here's three peas in a pod! They get along great.

Kayla and Dennis taking time out for a photo at my request. We were visiting 

Willam Deans Chocolate store. They provided the candy in the movie The 

Hunger Games!! How awesome is that?

Remy likes to hang out because he can see straight into the kitchen! He's keeping an eye on the food! 

My Newman loves sitting in my lap. He was so good while we were there. We have a doggy door at home so he comes and goes as needed. Amy & Dennis doesn't have one, but he did just fine. No accidents whats so ever. :)

Papa with Remy taking it easy.

Remy posing for me!

My baby....

Dennis being his goofy self! Chuckie was grilling vension. It turned out delish!

Kayla...

We rode with Dennis to take Kayla to Tampa Internation Airport. She was flying back to her home in Atlanta where she lives with her Mom.

The sky was an amazing color!! 

We had an amazing time! Thank you, Amy & Dennis for having us for Thanksgiving. :)

Until Next Time~
