Las Vegas, Luxor, Titanic, Bodies, and Shark Reef

We went to Las Vegas over the Thanksgiving break from school. We visited the Titanic exhibit. We stayed at the pyramid called the Luxor. We also visited the Bodies exhibit. That was a spectacular exhibit of our bodies but not pictures were allowed. Also we went to the shark reef at the Mandalay Bay. We had a very fun and interesting three days in Las Vegas. We came home to Thanksgiving with our family.

My Big, Handsome, Princess(?) Happy Birthday

Ok, so Jim has been photographed with a crown on quite a bit lately. In Octoberit was my birthday and Ben picked the cake...it was a Harley Davidson motorcycle cake. I am guessing mostly so that Ben could have the toy motorcycle on the cake to play with. I told Jim that I had wanted a flower or girl cake so for his birthday he picked a pink cake with a tiara for me! So happy birthday dear, to the love of my life, I am so thankful for you. I can't possibly imagine my life without him. I don't want to. He helps me in so many ways, I wouldn't be alble to have the job I do at the hospital without Jim. He cleans the house, does the laundry, takes care of Benjamin. He is a different person that who he used to be. He has a huge temper but he can keep it under control most of the time. Under his gruff and grouchy exterior beats a heart of gold. He would do anything that I needed. I count him as one of my greatest blessings! Hopefully he had a good day with his Budwieser Beer BBQ sauce!!!!

Halloween 2012

This year Benjamin wanted to be a ghost. But not just any regular ghost, he wanted a hood to his ghost costume. So I found one to make on Martha Stewart's website. We had a hard time finding enough white tule to make the costume that I made. On her site it was suggested that we use about 19 yards of tule...I could only come up with about seven. It worked out and Benjamin liked it. After all that I'm kind of thinking that I will buy what ever costume he wants. But that tule hooded ghost costume would have cost me $99 so maybe NOT!

Pennies

If I see a penny, I think of this poem and those I love that are in heaven.
