Happy Birthday, NOT!

We love our local Mexican Restaurant.  It's the BOMB !!  Great food, Great Service, Great Prices...

but the best thing about it is the HUGE sombrero they put on your head if it's your birthday.  So, I told our server it was dad's birthday -- LOL LOL

Botanical Gardens

Each year our local Botanical Gardens features various Scarecrows.

Here's one .. no wait, that's Jordan !!

Here's one featuring NASA....

and the two monkeys who last traveled into outerspace.

Mrs Elly loved the roses.

Mom loved posing for pics !

Jordan met her ideal hunk: cute, quiet and had a box of chocolates.

Hey, Dad !!

This witch in a box was my favorite.

Ha Ha !! We all had fun and the weather was wonderful !!

iPhone 5

Now keep in mind that my dad has never used a cell phone. (never)

So, when he pulled out his new iPhone 5, we were all a little surprised !

But not surprised that he asked Jordan how to use it - LOL

"Yes, PeePaw, just touch the screen."

"O, geeze, how am I going to get through this."

All Grown Up ! .... sort of

Pee Paw and Miss Elly drove down from TN for a visit.  Dad couldn't get over how much Jordan had grown.  .... I know, right ??!!!

Sickle Cell 5k Walk-a-thon

Jordan joined the Multi Cultural Club at High School. 

Their first get together was to join in the local Sickle Cell 5k walk-a-thon. 

It was a great day out and we got to see a turtle -- Oreo loved this !

Pretty cat tails.

Blooms and greenery.

Hey, look !  It's Boo !!  Well, for some reason she's embarrassed ???

Anywho, we all had a great time for a great cause !!

Mad Toy !!

Oreo's toy looks a little upset -- LOL

Northview High School Cougar Spirit !!!!

Talk Like A Pirate At Krispy Kreme

We love Krispy Kreme !!

Apparantly, Sept 19th is National Talk Like A Pirate Day.   Who Knew??  And to celebrate, Krispy Kreme gave out one free donut if you either came in dressed as a pirate or ordered a donut in "Piratesse".

Jordan and her BFF wanted to try it. 

Hi, Boo -- I mean, Ahoy Matie !

They each got a free donut ! :-)

ARRRRR!
