My big day tomorrow...

Well, Friday I will be volunteering for a field trip with Taylor's school. I am really looking forward to it, except I have been told to pretend that I don't know Taylor. She told me very nicely. Anyhow, we are going to the Junior Achievement Center for some role playing into adult life and responsibilities. I am hoping that we will come back with some good knowledge and hope I can learn what ever I don't yet know...as I know that there is so much to learn!! Now that I am almost 40, I realize that I didn't know it all in my past years. Hey, it's only taken me less than 40 years to figure it out!! I'd say that's not too bad. Anyhow, off to bed to spend the day with a bunch of 8th graders! Have a good day everyone!

Our Fun Fun Weekend!!

Wow! Talk about a fun weekend! We were lucky to have Kyla and Jill stay the night on Saturday. We enjoyed their company so much. We had Jamba Juice, played in a fountain, got Burger King chicken fries, played with bubbles, had a slumber party on our living room floor, read books, watched a Go, Diego, Go movie, got new hats and so much more. What a treat for me! Taylor went out on a boat all day with her friend and missed out on our fun, but she had a blast too. She was sad that she missed the girls, but boat rides don't happen all the time. The girls got to spend some quality time with their counsin Roy instead. The girls even woke Lex up by cock-a-doodle doodling him and brought him coffee and Nutter Butter's in bed. Oh yeah, we also ate Nutter Butters too!!! Yum!! The girls are such sweethearts and such well behaved smart girls, I just love them so much. I miss them already! Thank you Kyla and Jill for making this last weekend so much fun!

I am getting excited!!!

I cannot wait till this weekend!! I get to have my two cutie nieces Kyla (Nutter Butter) and Jill (Worm - short for Wiggle Worm), for a night...of course one night is definitely not long enough!! I sure wish we lived closer to one another, as I miss them so much. I am also getting excited to see my 2 handsome nephews - Ryan and Luca, and other cutie niece - Nicole, this summer! I never get to see them and miss them so much too!

Taylor being almost 14 and going into high school next year shows me how fast they grow up and makes me wish I could see the little ones all the more before they grow up so fast. The sad thing is that we all live so far away.

So, to all my nieces and nephews...Aunt Michelle Loves and Misses you all soooo much!!! Hugs and Kisses to you all!

Nutter Butter and Worm - we are going to have so much fun!!! We can't wait!! Hey Kyla...That was easy!!!!!

Here are a few more pictures of my wonderful Mother's day. We got to spend it at Grandma and Grandpa D's house with our wonderful nieces Kyla and Jill and Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Ted and some cute little birdies in their nest. They are amazing!

My Wonderful Mother's Day

These are the beautiful tulips that Taylor bought for me. I didn't get a photo of my cute stuffed frog and my beautiful bouquet of fresh colored flowers. I have to say I got very spoiled. Taylor insisted on celebrating Spanish Mother's Day, which was the day before USA's Mother's Day, so I had a full Mother's Day weekend!! I loved it. I wish I would have gotten a picture of Taylor, Lex and me out at dinner Saturday night. Lex had a huge prime rib and Taylor ate a whole plate of crab legs! She was "grubbing it" as my niece, Kyla would say.

My Boy

Can't post about my daughter without posting about my son...Roy doing what he does best...Like mother like son! It is my favorite past time also, when I get a chance!

My Girl

Here is a picture of Taylor - kinda wish I could say in "Rare Form" but this is her and how she would like to dress most of the time...instead of "a little bit country and a little bit of rock-n-roll" she is a little bit girl, a little bit boy, a little dressy and a little laid back! Have to admit, she has her own style, but this is kinda cute though. I could never pull it off, but she can!!
