Book Club

Just wanted to give an update on the books we are reading in my book club

The Wedding Machine was a good story about 4 friends in a small town in SC, it dealt with the relationships between, wives and
husbands, and mothers and daughters, and girlfriends.













The Girl With the Dragon Tatt00, I am still reading, I got distracted by Bubbles (See previous post) I have until Thursday to read the last 400 pages of Tattoo, wish me luck!!




















The Thirteenth Tale was recommended to me by my S.I.L., Amanda & it is my pick for the March book club selection.

More on Tattoo and Tale after I read them.

Let it snow............ let it snow..... let it snow

Sunday started out cloudy and rainy, then it started to SNOW!!!

Click here to see the snow fall...

And it snowed into the night

It snowed so much(3 inches hehehehehe Michiganders) the Schools cancelled for the next day.

Surprisingly the snow stayed and Janelle, Juan Miguel and I played in the snow on their day off of school. We made a snow Jake, which Juan wanted to put wings on

Jake checking out his buddy

Look at my cool sweater Grandma D!

Gercies Shower

As soon as I heard Gercie was pregnant, I wanted to throw her a baby shower...

Our table of refreshments


Dave helped decorate, before he and Yves got the boot and the party could begin

What you see here is some of the guests smelling diapers, trying to figure out what candy bars were melted inside.....The game was a hit, if I do say so myself

The winner, got ten candy bars, the same kinds that were used in the diapers

Here we are measuring Gercie's belly, the guest that guessed the closest, won!!!

GOTTA GIVE A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO STACIE!!!!!! She was my helper before, during and after the shower. She kept me calm and help so everything would be perfect, We are thinking about starting a party planning business, interested???

What do you Think.....

So I have been wanting to do a pull-apart cake for sometime (A pull apart cake is a cake made up of cupcakes that you put together and decorate as one cake)

When I was looking for ideas for Gercie's baby shower cake, I found this one online.............

And this is the one I made................

Valentine's Party

For Valentine's Day this year, we decided to have a Pot Luck Party. Yves, Gercie, Juan, Megalina, Janelle, Katlyn (Janelle's Best Friend), and Juan Miguel came over.


The Ladies pose for a quick pic.

Father Juan and son Juan Miguel

Janelle and Katlyn, inseparable

Yves and Gercie


Megalina with her sweetie on Valentine's day

THE FUN BEGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We thought it was gong to be a nice simple game night playing UNO and Domino's. Then someone had an idea...............The UNO set came with 4 blank cards and we decided that if a blank card was laid, the person who played it would have the next player do ANYTHING............ ANYTHING

The first request was for Dave to bring down 2 of the 3 cats, because when kids are around they hide, Megalina has never been able to pet them.

Dave and I "forced" to dance

Megalina, terrified of dogs was challenged to give Jake a hug

Gercie was asked to dance with Janelle.

My wise cracking husband wanted me to stand on my head.

So I made him turn Janelle upside down.

We had the best time, I recommend it to all!!!!!!!!!!!

Valentine's Day Video's

I soon took advantage of the video option in my camera

Dave's Cartwheel........

Dave challenged Juan to eat a whole cupcake in one bite.

Yves, challenged me by having Dave feed me a cupcake in one bite.

I gladly accepted, since I thought I was the only one who knew how to work the video on my camera.... I was a good sport and told Juan, I would publish his video

Man Oh, Man Oh, Man

Well I hope you aren't expecting much..................

NOTHING has happened so far this year, at least nothing I am going to blog about in this post. But my loyal reader (Stacie) has complanied that I haven't posted anything new in over a month and she was sick of it and I better get to work. I am hoping to share good news soon, but don't want to jinx it. I don't want to tell you our bad news, cause it really sucks. So for now know, we keep trudging on in the South!

New Year's Eve 2008

This year, Dave and I decided to have a boring night at home for New Year's Eve, since we had such an active Christmas vacation.

But, our friends, Gercie and Yves, asked us if we were game to hang out with them....We decided were were. After going out for dinner we went back to their place to play domino's.

Dave, making sure I don't look at his domino's

Ringing in 2009!!!!!!!!

Winter Wonderland...

Here are some pictures from our trip to MI. Dave is shoveling my Dad's driveway, it was quite a work out and he even broke TWO shovels.

Everyone at Reliable teases Dave cause he never wheres a jacket, imagine what they must think when they see these images!!!

Jake's first encounter with snow!

He wasn't a big fan!

Some pretty pictures of all the snow.
