13 Years Ago

It was 13 years ago, on a cold day, in a far away land that was not Texas, Eric was born. He is no longer my little butt nuggett. He has now crossed over that invisible line that was drawn many moons ago. Not a child. Not an adult. A TEENAGER! God in Heaven, help us all! I love you Eric so very much. I know it's been a hard road fought but you have made it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU'RE NOW A BIG BUTT NUGGETT!!

Here SHE is.............

Lauren looking FAB in her butterfly shades................(don't look at the woman holding her.)

Lauren blowing out her 2 butterfly candles..............(don't look at the woman holding her!)

Lauren caught playing at the playground................
...............again.

The cake that didn't turn into the butterfly I wanted it to look like....but that is okay because the cake tasted so damn good that we didn't feel guilty destroyin it. LOL!

Lauren Elisabeth...is 2 today!

Happy Birthday to me...partie deux!

iPod + NIKE = RUNNING BLISS

Happy Birthday to me!

I was introduced to this thing called an iPod. Not by commercials with images in black wearing iPods streaming from their ears in white. No. A friend informed me of this wonderful gadget that my favorite shoe company was offering. It's called NIKE+. It is wireless. You put it in your shoe (some Nike shoes even have a secret compartment under the inserts that houses said gadget), then you hook receiver to your iPod. It tracks distance, calories, speed, time, plays music to the rhythm of your running cadence. It even predicts the future. Okay not really. But hey it does everything else. So I mosied on over the our neighborhood PX. Slapped some plastic down and bought me an Apple. Got home. Logged onto to my wireless internet and went straight to Nike.com. I ordered the Nike+ Sport kit. And lucky me....the PX sells the shoes. I don't really need them but hey.....if the shoe fits.........................

I'm wearin' it!

I'm 9!

Chuck E. surprised us with a birthday ice cream sandwich!!

Happy Birthday!

It's someone's BIRTHDAY! Happy 31st to my sister KIM!

(By the way, that is Lauren she is holding...1 day old.)
