I really don't like being the one stuck at home when someone goes on a trip and I usually let it show. Yesterday, Billy went on a trip with the youth group from church to Lake Martin. I was really happy for him, but I was sad at the fact that he was leaving.
I hate that I do this! It made for an unpleasant breakfast at IHOP. That and Billy ordered before I was ready so I just ordered the same thing he ordered and really didn't want that.
While he's gone Conner and I get to do a lot of things that we wouldn't normally get to do everyday because we have a vehicle while he's gone. Yesterday we got to run some errands and then after nap I took Conner to the fountains at the Eastern Shore Centre.
I'm not sure what we are going to do today. I guess we'll just go wherever the wind blow us. We might go over to my mom and dad's house to visit with them. They just back from a trip to Savannah, GA. They got to eat at The Lady and Sons Restaurant (Paula Deen's restaurant). They also got to take a tour of Savannah and was picked up at their hotel by a limo to take them to the tour. It was my mom's first time riding in a limo.
Okay, enough chatting, I'm going to go do some stuff before Conner and I hit the road! Hope all of you have a great weekend!

My own paradise!
Have you ever thought that you wanted to be in paradise? Have you ever thought about what paradise might be? To some it might be exotic get a way. To others it might be a great shopping trip. Well, I've found mine, and it's in my back yard with Conner.
Yesterday, we were outside he was playing in his pool and I was reading my book. We weren't in an exotic locale and heaven knows we sure didn't buy anything...lol It was just simply nice to be able to enjoy being in a back yard watching my son play. Knowing that we didn't have to go anywhere to be happy. We were happy in our own backyard.

So, I guess what I'm trying to get at is paradise can be ANYWHERE you want it to be. It's just what you make of the situation you are in.

Under the Sea
I just did this layout today. I was looking through some tutorials and came across one that showed how to blend a pictures into the paper so, I tried it. It didn't come out as nice as the one in the tutorial, but I like it. This was when we went to California in September of last year. We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. Conner had so much fun seeing all of the fish. We go to pet sting rays. They were too cute, they acted like dogs wanting to be petted. They would come up to you when you came to the tank and splash you so that you would pet them...lol It was a really nice trip.

SAHM
So, I thought everyone would know what SAHM means, but apparently they don't. The reason I bring this up is because my husband was reading my blog the other day and asked me why I said I was a "sham"....LOL
So, for those who do not know what SAHM means it's Stay At Home Mom.
Toodles! :o)

Yay!
I just wanted to share that Billy and I are childless for the next 24 hours (at the very min.) I'm very excited! Our weekend has been wonderful so far...
Last night we met my in-laws at Dairy Queen to get my nephew. My MIL and SIL were going to the ZZ Top Concert at the Wharf in Orange Beach. We actually ate supper there. Can I just tell you that I don't believe I've ever ate a meal at Dairy Queen. If I have, it has been way too long to remember. I had chili cheese fries! Oh sweet heaven, they were good!!!
We then came home and let the boys play. It's funny because I always said when I was younger that I wanted to have 1 child, but now that I see Conner playing with other kids and the joy he gets out of it...my mind has definitely changed. I mean I know having a sibling will be totally different than having a cousin or friends over to play, but at least he wouldn't be lonely if he had a sibling.
When it was time for us to go to bed, all 3 boys were going to sleep in Conner's room. I came and took Conner to my bed because I knew where he was going to be around 3-4 in the morning...right by my bed asking to crawl in. So, Conner and I had a good night's sleep. Billy, on the other hand, did not. He said Conner has nothing on Brian when it comes to sleeping under someone. Bless, his heart, I don't think he got any sleep. So, Brian and Billy come bebopping into my room at 6:30 this morning. (That's right, on a Saturday!) Billy said Brian woke up at 5, then at 5:30, then at 6 and Billy finally let him get up at 6:30...lol
So, this morning we got up and went to IHOP (or as Conner says Hi-hop) and ate breakfast, then met my MIL in Stapleton, handed the boys off and high tailed it back to Daphne! Conner, hasn't totally left our minds though...lol On our way back to the house we stopped at a yard sale 3 doors down from our house and got Conner one of those Little Tykes Basketball goals. He's gonna be so surprised! I'll have to post a picture of it with him when he gets home tomorrow.
Right now, Billy is taking a much needed nap. Later this afternoon we are going to 2 matinee movies! We are going to see "What Happens in Vegas" and the new Indiana Jones movie. THEN, after that we are going to eat at STIX. I'm reallly excited! (see so excited that I put an extra 'l' in really)
Well, now I'm going to enjoy the peace and quiet of a childless house right now...and maybe do a little digiscrapping. Woohoo!

A day at the beach
Wow, I haven't updated in about a month, so, here ya go! (Be sure to check out Conner's blog too. I'm still in the process of transfering from his babysite too.)
We recently went to spend the weekend at Gulf Shores. It was a nice get away. We left Friday and at lunch at Lu Lu's at Homeport Marina. After that we checked into our hotel and went to Ft. Morgan. Later that day we went to The Track Family Fun Center. Conner loved riding the go-carts with me and Billy.
Saturday morning we got up and went to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, then came back to our hotel room and got ready and went to the beach. Conner didn't like the waves, but LOVED playing in the sand. After riding around a little bit we took Conner to Waterville, U.S. A. it took him a while to get used to the water there, but by the time we were ready to leave, he didn't want to go.
Here's a scrap page, I did this afternoon with pictures taken while we were at the beach. (click to make larger)
