Mothers Day

So I know this is late but you know I have had problems with my internet. Anyway. Holden & I were all alone for mothers day this year. We had a really nice day. Holden kept telling me we were on a date. We went out for breakfast then spent some time walking in downtown Basalt. I really had a good day hanging out with my little man. He even let me take a ton of pictures of him (which never happens).

This is my favorite picture from the day. He is such a cutie.

I don't know if you can read this or not but tells all about the Pole of Peace.

The Pole of Peace. This is in downtown Basalt.

This is my crazy son taking everything out of his wallet just so he can put it all back in. Oh FYI the little white & blue card is for a child psychologist. If you really know Holden you know why that is funny. Just Holden giving me a silly face. We really had a good time that day.

Too Funny!!!

I have to tell the funniest story. Unfortunately Willie does not think it's that funny. We went to the river the other day so Willie could fish & I could take pictures. Willie was fishing & having a good time until his lure got tangled up with a log in the water & the top part of his fishing pole came off. He couldn't break the line because he would loose the top of his pole. So he decided to go in to get it. The water is about 30 degrees. This first picture is him cleaning out his pockets & getting ready to get in.
Here he is heading out into the freezing water.

In the next picture you can see the water just getting up past his waders. That is the first of the cold water he felt.

Here you can see the water up past his waders. If he could have made a sound it would most likely sound like a little girl screaming. Poor guy.


This is Willie coming out of the water & you can see it on his face he is not happy. I felt bad but all I could was snap pictures & laugh. It was so funny only because I did not have to go in the water. We went home right after that & I can tell you that was one of the longest rides home for Willie, but he saved his fishing pole. I still laugh when I think of it.

Saturday

Saturday was a great day. We took Holden to see Monsters vs Aliens. He has been begging me to take him to the movies before we left Florida. I was not able to take him then when I could there was nothing playing. The movie was really good. Even Willie liked it. The person behinde us was snoring for most of the movie. After the movie we all went home & took a nap. We woke up about 7:30 & started getting ready to go to work with Willie. Willie has the coolest job ever! Ok there may be better jobs but I had so much fun. Holden had his DVD player & a few movies so he was all set. Holden drove the cat with Willie for a little while & he loved it. Poor Holdy asked me a few times if we were going home but we were there for the night. Holden asked me "do I have to go to sleep now or what?". I told him he could if he wanted but he didn't have to & he was asleep within 10mins. He fell asleep about 3:20 & woke up around 7:30. I loved it & would like to go again before his last night. We had a great time hanging out together. When we got home Sunday morning I was so tired. I could not do this everynight but it is fun every so often. I'll try to post a picture of Holden driving when I get home.

Stupid Internet

My internet connection is really really slow right now. I have so many pictures to show you all but I can not get them to upload. We are trying to figure something out right now so hopefully soon I can put up some new pictures. I'm sending this from work right now. Have a great day & hopefully I can update soon.

Bad @ Blogging

I told myself (& others that i was going to keep up with my blog after we moved. I'm sorry to say I have not done it. I tried to update it with pictures of our trip to Colorado but my computer has been so slow. I don't know what is wrong with it. I'll really try to keep it updated. Well I tried to upload some pictures of our first time playing in the snow but for some reason it won't work. I'll keep trying.

Going Away Dinner

So Saturday night my mom, grandma, step-mom & aunt took me out to eat & spend some time together. We had a great time. We went to St. Augustine to Carrabba's. The food there is always so good. We had a lot of fun talking & laughing. When we got back to the park & ride Diane (sm) realized she locked her keys in her car (you know I had to tell everybody), so while we waited for someone to come unlock the car we played around with the camera. I took a picture of me & each of them & then I took a group picture of us. I am about to do something I have never done. I am about to post pictures of myself that I do not think look even close to good. I never post pictures of myself that I don't love, but I'm doing it for the family. Here goes...


This is me & my mom. We have the same cheeks.

This is me & my grandma (dads mom).

This is me & my aunt Cathy (dads sister). I take after her by always being late.

This is my step-mom, Diane.

This is the whole bunch. They said I could not get us all in the picture but I showed them. Unfortunately I ended up with a huge head. I guess that's what I get for trying to show off.

This is a group picture without my big head.

Moving Update

So we are still in Florida. We are leaving here on November 26th. We are not even ready. We have so much packing to do & I don't want to do it. I wish I had a lot of money so I could hire someone to do it for me. Such as life. I'll keep this updated as we move.
