Wordless Wednesday # 52 ~ Happy Birthday MOM!

Happy 19th Birthday KYLE!

We all went to Joe's Crab Shack to eat to celebrate Kyle's 19th birthday! We had such a great time. Our family of 4, plus Diane and Larry, Danae, and Mom and Larry!

Aren't they the BEST!

The Newlyweds...

Kyle, Nathan, and Danae...

Diane had the coolest drink!. It arrives at the table a blue color and you dump in the red stuff and it makes a purple drink!

LOTS of food!

They made Kyle stand up and do the Hula while we sang Happy Birthday! He was a good sport...reluctantly!

Nathan taught Grampy some origami at the table.

Happy Birthday Kyle...I am proud and honored to be your Mama. Have fun at the Social D concert tonight! I LOVE YOU!

Nathan's Christmas Concert

Nathan had his Choir performance last night and it was FANTASTIC! All of his friends looked so handsome!

Of course, I had to take a feet picture!

Ms. Voss is such a wonderful teacher and is instilling a love of music into these kids! They sing songs from all genres and the kids have a blast! As you can see, she has a lot of boys in her class! You know she's great when these boys choose to be in her class instead of wood shop!

Fa la la la la

Some singing and some dancing!

My BEAUTIFUL boy!!! LOVE him so much! I wish he would stop growing up so fast!

Grampy and Grammy were there to watch, as always Nathan's biggest fans!

Nathan with some of his buddies.

More friends. Nathan is so lucky to have tons of friends, really neat kids! Most of them play baseball with him, so it is great to see them without hats on their heads and dirt on their pants!

It was an awesome night, I love this time of year!

TINA...the dog!

Larry got a new poodle...he rescued her...she's 4 years old! She's a sweet dog, hopefully her and Tilly will be great friends. They are SOOO spoiled!!

Baseball in the FOG!

Yesterday morning Nathan had a game scheduled for 8 a.m. and we had to have a "fog" delay. I've never heard of such a thing, but it was certainly necessary! These are pictures of the boys warming up on the field...it was cold, wet, and foggy! Nathan is in the middle with the black sweatshirt.

Grammy and Grampy braved the weather!

The Sunday morning Starbucks Club...

Let's go CATS!!

My cute #15!

Down and ready...

Muddy, grassy, gross shoes!

Finally, the sun shone through and it was a beautiful day, but NOT a great game for us!

The huddle...so cute!

Nathan pitched, but not his best game...

STRIKE!

LOVE watching my boys play ball!

Cruising With Grammy!

We were so excited to have Mom (aka Grammy) on our cruise with us! Kyle and Nathan just adore her and love her SO MUCH!! She plays a huge part in both of their lives and is a best friend to them! The picture above is shortly after arriving on the ship.

Thanks Mom, for going with us to Mexico. We loved having you with us! Thanks for all you do for the boys, and for us! You are truly the most compassionate giving person I know and I admire and cherish you!!

Leaving on a Cruise Ship!

We had THE BEST time on our cruise...it was just fantastic!!!

The boys were so excited that Grammy traveled with us!! They even got to share a cabin with her!!! HE he he he...

The Carnival Splendor was enormous!! We were among over 4,000 passengers onboard!!

We hit the buffet immediately upon boarding...why not!!?

Grammy got herself the drink of the day!!!

Leaving the Harbor...such a beautiful day!

The absolute loves of my life!

Grammy with some of her favorites...

Our first night in the dining room. We had a perfect table in the aft of the ship, overlooking the water. Several nights we saw dolphins playing in the water...magical!

Panko-crusted shimp...heaven!

Mom with her Creme Brulee...um yummy!!

He thinks he's so funny!! Love this boy... More pictures from our cruise to follow for the next few days!
