Crazy!

Well... Just about ten years ago is when I first met Shawn's family... That would mean my little brother in law Willie was about six years old... It was REALLLLY weird and awesome today when we brought him to pick out his tuxedo for his Junior Prom.. After ordering the tux that he claims he will look "fresh" in..(where do people come up with words?!) we ate dinner at the Olive Garden and Willie was able to further make me feel old when we got into a deep conversation about his future college plans.. Hoo hum.. I feel old tonight!!

Twenty........ SIX... Yikes!!!

My favorite part of my birthday... My daddy is the best!!

Final Count.... 32

What exactly was Ziggy looking at in the exposed windows so intently.... WELL his father of course!!.. Shawn has been making the most out of his weekends and has been VERY productive around the house. He began the process in the backyard and moved to the front yard this past weekend...(landscaping to follow!!) He broke out the new leaf blower I got him for Christmas, plugged in the ipod and went to town... I stayed inside it was still cold and it really wasn't my idea of a fun Saturday!! I read my book and did laundry instead!!!

Ahhh... Windows... Exposed!!

Baby Shealeys' Shower!!

A couple weekends ago we attended a baby shower for our great friends Matt and Rebecca.. Their little baby girl is due on March 26th... *Which I have informed them that she will be an angel because only the best are born on that date.. Haahmmm my birthday*... Anyways, it was a first for many of us, since the shower was a Jack & Jill Baby Shower!!.. Shawn and his brother both were thrilled BUT ended up having a fantastic time... Here are a few snapshots of the day!!

Snow/Sand.... man..

A couple of weekends ago we were in Myrtle Beach for a conference... It just so happened that it SNOWED while we were there. Snow blah we have seen it every year of our lives hence one of the major bonuses of living in South Carolina INSTEAD of New York!!... Regardless it snowed and I must admit, it was really quite cool!! We headed straight for the beach (and blistering wind/cold) and took a couple of snapshots!!

The Ultimate Sign of DEFEAT

So our little cuddly, fuzzy buddy... Is not cuddly (unless on his own terms, close to NEVER) and NEVER, EVER wants to be held.. Well due to this fact Shawn and I constantly try to get him to be the opposite of this, which usually ends up with Ziggy running and hiding somewhere dark!!.. WELL for the past three years we have tried a multitude of different tactics to try and get him in his cage (when traveling).. It usually ends with Shawn on one side of the bed, me on the other and on the count of three one of us pushes him out one way from under the bed and the other snatches him up... Well Mr. Ziggy we have your number and have gotten very creative.. We now close all doors, block off the stairway and as one chases him around the first floor one of us patiently waits on the stairs for Ziggy to try one more time to go up the stairs... By that point he knows it is cage time and snuggles for all it is worth!!!
