I think it may have been the cooler air that got Fanny locking onto jumps this morning and even clearing a 4 ft. vertical with ease. As Ralph would say "She's on FIRE!"

Ashley's comment: "Well that was fun."

Alex gets a car!

In the midst of trying on homecoming dresses Judy drove up with a surprise new car for Alex. That is when the screaming and jumping started. When it ended? Not sure, they still may be celebrating...

Butterflies in Jim's Garden

Royalty!

Yep, that's right, these two will be walking the red carpet as Prince and Princess at Lake Mary Homecoming. Time to do a little tux and dress shopping!

On The Road~

Adam and Desiree left this morning to start their new jobs in St. Paul Minnesota. Desiree will be working for 3M and Adam for Wakenhut. Adam will be working in security for a trucking company. I am honestly excited and happy for them in my head, but in my heart I am sad. Sad is such a simple word, but oh what an overwhelming feeling. I will miss them.

Acknowledging a GREAT start:

WHEN HIGHSCHOOL GIRLS ATTACK...

Sometimes it's in a friendly way. They just sneak into the driveway at night and write lovenotes on your son's car.

Meeting New Family!!!

Jared, Rosemary and little Aiden visited from Tarpon Springs yesterday. Jared is my cousin and I was his nanny when he was in pre-school. Wow, that puts a big # on me doesn't it? Anyway, it was fun spending time catching up with Jared and meeting Rosemary and Aiden. We look forward to many more visits from these three.

Happy 15th Ashley!

Some photos have been removed due to threats to the bloggers 'well being'. Sorry for the censorship of my material but, hey, I have to live with these girls!

Objet d'art:
This is Andrew's painting from his second painting class. I took a closeup photo so you could see the interesting detail.

The Worlds Next Top Models: Ashley and Fanny! I sent this photo of Ashley and Fanny to my Aunt Dale and her friend George Morris (Sir Rom) painted it. It is now being sold in the Ocala area. This is the first copy that was given to my Mom.

The title of the painting is "The Kiss". Ashley was actually having a discussion with Fanny about rearing, bucking and other naughty behavior that she was exhibiting at the beach.

And handsome too!

Austin, Eddie and Zack have all been recipients of their "FIRST CAR" this past week. I felt the need to showcase these fortunate boys and their new wheels.




Happy motoring...
