Father's Day

With our conflicting work schedules I wasn't sure if we would see the love of my life on Father's Day. I was already sad missing my dad back in Michigan. I talked to him all morning which made me feel better.

This is one of my favorite pictures with my Daddy. He is the one in the black coat. He is awesome! He welcome my hubby with open arms and talks to him more then I do. Steve adores him I think it hurt him more then me on Father's day not being able to drive to see my dad. If we move back to Michigan it would be for my dad. My hubby is still trying to talk him in to moving to Florida or maybe Arizona so we can all be together.

We took our boys to the Cocoa Zoo. Here are some pictures from our trip. We walked into the bird exhibit with a cup of food and six birds landed on my hubby. It was too funny while Christopher tried to grab or to him pet the birds. He got upset when they wouldn't come back to him. He did after all try to strangle the birds. Justin had a blast as you can tell in the picture now he wants one for his birthday next month along with a small creature of some sort. His words not mind. Thinking maybe a lizard or some fish to go with our Michigan turtles we still have. I think this was the best part of the zoo with the monkey at the bottom who is sleeping like a human. It was too hot to see the other animals. The boys however did get to pet a white tail deer. Seeing the boys pet the deer made us think about the deer back home who kept stealing our food from our garden. We could go out and water it while they stood a arm length away.

It was about 95 degrees outside when we left to the beach. Justin is getting better at surfing we have taken him out every weekend since his daddy bought it for him. Christopher likes to try and copy his brother. It's too cute!

I love going to the beach hearing the waves. I love watching my hubby teach his son how to surf. He gets slammed by waves trying to help Jay get up on the surfboard. He really is a great father! He hates the feel of sand but goes to the beach for his family. I have never been happier then I am now our life is perfect for us. He makes me laugh all the time. He is a riot sometimes. By the end of the day my cheeks hurt from laughing all day. Christopher wore himself out by running around. I think by the time we left the beach it was almost 8'o clock at night. We were their all day.

This is the second time they have dug a hole to China in theory. They dig and Christopher fills it back up. This is the time I get my tan on. It's peaceful to lay on the beach. I like the feel of sand between my toes I just wish it would fall off before we get in the car. I tried to surf myself which was a bad ideal. Talk about one thing I can't do right now but maybe in the future I can take a wave. It was amazing day I hope your Father's day was as good as mine.

Thanks for reading come back again.

Project Needham

I seen this on Pinterest so I made it. This is mind.

Here is the link on Pinterest.

Yes I took the tag off

I had a lot of fun with my boys. I love to garden they love to get dirty. They are boys who doesn't?Watering it is a task to keep the dirt from running over the sides. The key is do it slowly very slowly. The plants cost $8.00 at Lowes altogether I think I spent $50.00 total. I wanted to make the bottom pot bigger but my porch isn't that big in front of our house. This seems to be just right by my window. I can't wait till it grows out fully. I will also get a thyme plant to set on the other side I heard it will help keep mosquitoes away. Something I will have to try and see. Look for my review on it at the end of summer.

Here is my front door I'm not sure if I like it yet. I still like my red door from back home let's face it I miss my house from back home. Most of all I miss my garden we had it was huge. We just put shelves up in Justin's room he still doesn't know what color he wants to paint it.

I'm in the middle of working on this for my back porch. I will post pictures later once it's all done along with my garage that my hubby is working on as we speak. God knows what kind of idea's he has! Sometimes I think he is worst then me when it comes to projects and our house. If you have any neat idea's please feel free to share.

NO More

ABOUT

What is NO MORE?

NO MORE is a new, overarching symbol, like the pink breast cancer ribbon and the yellow support our troops ribbon, that is bringing together all people, organizations and communities that support ending domestic violence and sexual assault in our society.

I opened up my email to find this of course I joined the community. I'm 100% against Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault. I know a lot of women who have gone though this including my mother and myself. I was in a trap in high school. I was rape and beaten several times. I was in the hospital more times then I can count I even lost a child when I was 17 years old due to the beating my so called boyfriend gave me. Every time I tried to leave he found me every time I tried to disappear he found me. If you ever saw the movie ENOUGH with Jennifer Lopez. That was my life he just wasn't rich. He sold drugs and knew everyone so in turn they knew where I was at who I was with and what I did and with who. It takes a lot to get free from someone who hurts you. I was brainwashed from seeing it at home being so young at 15 when I meet the DEVIL himself who seemed like Prince charming at the time. There was no one to turn to no one to tell me it's okay to leave. Nothing I did was right nothing I said was right he always had an excuse of why he gave me a black eye or it was my fault he beat me till I was unconscious. The excuses never stop I tried to run away to Ohio but I only made it to Monroe,MI. I never thought my life would be different until I meet a man who stopped the Devil on the street from hitting me. A few years later the mysterious man and I ran into each other he is now my wonderful hubby of seven years. With his and another friend of mind I was able to see what happen to me wasn't my fault. If I would had stayed he would have killed me. The people who knew his friends his family the people who seen it daily in my high school knew he hurt me but no one helped but two. When two seniors took me aside and talked to me it started to make me think about LIFE itself. I didn't want to live that way and I didn't to much longer after that. With the help of four people I owe my LIFE to. It's not easy to leave someone who hurts you. You are confused about everything. If you know a person who is in an unhealthy relationship please talk to them don't judge just listen and point them in the right direction. BREAK THE CYCLE.
