Where's Waldo?

Naps on beautiful, sunny, cool Saturday Afternoons with the windows open are AMAZING!  This last Saturday was particularly beautiful... and after having been at work since 6:45am, I arrived home at 3pm.  Todd looked at me and said why don't you take a nap... I feel into bed... but my sweet husband opened the blinds and the window.... it was the best nap ever...

Apparently,  Waldo Grant agreed!

Yes, he is under there... you can barely see his hair.  The Triple Trouble were exhausted.  Todd Jr had a soccer game earlier in the day.  Unfortunately, they lost 3-2.  Better luck next week!  Go Jedi!

Anyway, this is what Dat Dat found when he went to get the boys up... Grant was sleepy but got VERY excited when we said we were going to the BEACH!

It had been such a beautiful day, we decided to watch the sun set!

Aren't the rays of sunlight coming through the clouds beautiful!

It really was nice, if not a little cool and windy.

Just ask Grant.

He was holding on for dear life...

I kept asking him if he was okay...

He would respond with a "da" (not sure who is teaching him Russian) and "told" (that's "cold")...

His toes were even turning blue.

Speaking of cold toes...

Honestly, they would have jumped in if we had let them!

So we did not stay to watch the sun go completely down... Grant was too "told."

Yeah, okay, there is the hair....

UGH!

Have a good week!

Me Me is doing well after her surgery and Foe Foe goes in for his on Wednesday... I will keep you updated.

The boys are excited about Grammie and Dada coming on Thursday...

and can you believe it, Grady Joe will be 4, yes 4, on Saturday. 

Wow!

No.... THAT:S Canada....

Do you know where you were exactly 12 years ago?

I do.

Epcot (Formerly EPCOT), flirting arguing with my future husband.

It all goes by so quickly...

This is a special post for Todd Sr.

I love you and look forward to one day again,

 flirting arguing with you,

sitting on a bench in Epcot,

across the lake from the Canadian Pavillion,

"discussing" its specific location.

For those of you who don't "get" this post, I am afraid it is an inside joke in reference to our first "date" (the one Todd didn't bring his roomates on:)

And in reference to the Epcot/EPCOT part of the post.

Epcot was once EPCOT Center...

officially, EPCOT stood for Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow...

However, those of us who were/are Cast Members knew...

Every Person Comes Out Tired

or

Everyones Paycheck Comes On Thursday, and it did!

Let's hear it for Epcot and DRINKING AROUND THE WORLD... and that is a different story.

HA HA HA... I am laughing out loud because Grady is sitting in my lap while I am posting... and just said, when I added the photo of Spaceship Earth, "Mommy, Golf!" 

Yes, Grady, but you would need a club more than a mile high to get it to go anywhere.

Oooo, can you guess how many "triangles" are on the ball?

SPRING IS HERE!!!!! We hope...

What a beautiful weekend it was here in Panama City, FL...

Look at that two cute little men in short sleeves...

Saturday was Todd Jr's first Soccer Game of the season....

He is on the Bay County Youth Soccer Association (BCYSA) U8 Team Jedi!!!

Unfortunately, their team colors are Garnet and Gold, but I think the coach and his family are big Seminole fans... so be it!

One of the games we are going to dress Grady in the Jedi costume we have, give him a light saber and let him run up and down the sidelines yelling "May the Force be with You!"

It was a FANTASTIC game...

There was lots of action....

A breather every once in a while....

And then a lot more action....

Team Jedi won 3-0.

Did I mention Todd Jr. scored the first goal?

And the second goal?

And THIRD GOAL?

HAT TRICK.....

Dat Dat was upset because he lost his good Gators hat when the threw it on the field.

Yes, it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was soooooo excited.... he ran around pumping his fists.

The team as a whole worked together well.  Todd just seemed to put himself into the right positions to make the goals.

It is really great also because his good friend Sean is on the team as well and there are even some other players who have been on previous teams with him.  We are all looking forward to a fun and exciting Spring Soccer Season.

On a different note, I am going to ask all our readers to please keep Me Me and Foe Foe in your thoughts and prayers for the next couple of weeks.

As you know, Me Me is an 8 year Breast Cancer Survivor. 

Well, on Tuesday, March 16, she is finally having her reconstructive surgery. 

She is very excited and looking forward to doing away with her bulky prosthetic.  Maybe she will chop it into little bits or run over it with the car like I did my radiation mask!

And, where one journey ends, another begins...

A couple of weeks ago, Foe Foe had a "spot" removed from his ear.

The doctor sent the sample for tests.

It is melanoma.  Yes, cancer.

He will have surgery on March 24, to remove a chunk from the back of his ear and test the surrounding tissue and lymphnodes to be sure it has not spread.  Foe Foe is very positive and we are sure all will be well. 

It just has to be.

Me Me and Foe Foe, the boys and I love you very much.

You know Liz, I am not sure if you are reading this, but aren't you GLAD you don't come from the same gene pool?  PS.... Liz, can you believe it has been 30 years?  You, me and Mom sitting in one bucket seat together, riding home from Mobile... To hell with seat belts and car seats, who needs 'em?  Just Kidding!!!

Happy Birthingday!!!!

Yes, I know I spelled it incorrectly.....

I know it is late in the day, but I want to wish my very special husband....

Happy Birthday!!!

This is one of his favorite photos....

Look at all those handsome men!!!

I am so lucky...

Thank you Todd for taking such good care of all of us...

and for loving me for all my faults...

and even shaving your head... when you really didn't have to...

(PS... I am a little pissed your hair growing faster and longer than mine.. but I digress)

I am so proud of you...

you are a wonderful father and role model...

I love you..

and I miss you...

Miss you?

Yes, Todd left at 6am to drive to Georgia... and he has a cold.

On another topic, Todd Jr started soccer practice today, he was sooo excited.  The coach seems really nice and his good friend Sean is on his team again... Here is hoping for a good soccer season!
