Pugs in Paradise

Since the whole family went on vacation, of course, Zoe had to come. Milissa and her family brought their little Mia. And one of our camping neighbors had this distinguished, 10yo male named Winston. Before Zoe, I had never seen a black pug. I didn't even know they existed. Now, she is such a part of our lives we can't think of leaving her behind. Here are a couple of shots of her vacation in paradise with her friends.

Fun Photo Shoot

One of the cool store that we went shopping at is Latitude 25. On their front porch, they have this enormous Adirondack chair just begging to be sat in for pictures. We took a bunch. These are just a few of my favorites

Just the Girls!

Milissa, Natalie and I took an evening to go to Key West without the kids or men.
We had such a wonderful time together.
I really have some fabulous friends.
I didn't take a lot of photos but I did document our whole toe ring experience.
I have never been able to wear toe ring because they just drive me nutts! So, when we saw the sign for the worlds most comfortable toe rings, I had to try it out. The young lady there was so much fun and so entertaining. All three of us decided to get some.
The last shot is just Milissa being silly.
Thanks for stoppin' by. XO, Mimi

More Vacation Shots to Share

Here are a few more shots, from Key West, to share with you all.
Here we are at the southern most point of the Continental United States.
Wow.
That was more meaningful to me than I thought it would be.

Here are two very crazy and fun little girls. Let me tell you, it is so much nicer going on vacation with friends and especially when the kids have friends too. I was so happy at how these two got along and behaved so well.

Since our return home, they have joined a gang and call themselves "The Sistas from another Mistas". LOL!

Last, but certainly not least, some male bonding. The two men who made everything possible. And all they needed to be happy was a little beer, a stogie and happy women folk. Ya gotta love 'em. I do!

My baby is eight.

My baby girl turned 8 yesterday.
It seems like only yesterday that she was a baby.
My, how time flies.
We had a small party at the local bowling alley.
Normally, we have parties at home. Since we had just returned home, after being away for a week, we decided to leave the set up and clean up to someone else.
Not bad at all.
Here's my baby with her new Hannah Montana hair.
I think she actually slept in it last night. LOL!
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day! XO, Mimi

Happy to be HOME!

We just got back from a wonderful camping adventure to the Florida Keys.
We had so much fun.
We went with 2 other families, the Howes and the H'Olecknas. LOL!
These ladies are my best buddies.
I will be sharing lots of photos and adventures with you over the next few days so, check back!
This is Rick and the girls and I at Irish Kevins in Key West.

Have a great Saturday. XO, Mimi

Oops!

I forgot to upload the pictures. So sorry!

Yes, eight is great. This is a card that I made for my, soon to be, 8 yo.
I used orange because it is my 18yo's favorite color and I think she will want to give this to her sister for her upcoming Birthday.

The paper is Scenic Route, the 8 is from Stampin' Up! and the yellow glitter letters are from Michaels and they are only $1.00 and come in many colors.

I love it and I know that she will too.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day! XO, Mimi
