Happy Halloween!

I am just about ready for Halloween! My house is very festive!

I am looking forward to the trick or treaters!

I sure had a cute house guest this afternoon! Hailey and I had a fun time hanging out!

Check out the ghots Mom and I made for my little friends and my primary girls!

Hailey thought they were pretty cute! I think she's pretty cute!

Aren't 8 of something cute? Happy Halloween everyone!

Now, for the rest of the story!

My meetings went great on Monday and Tuesday! On Wednesday Cindy and I were able to go to Hollywood Studios. It used to be MGM. It was a very fun park with lots of fun things to do!

We watched several different shows, The little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast were my favorites!

Belle was absolutely beautiful! I loved seeing her and thinking of Hailey and Libbie who are dressing up as Belle for Halloween! Hailey and I went to Zurchers today and bought her and Lib a lovely tiara!

They have a toy story ride where you get to play video games. I nailed it! I didn't know how great I was at video games! Mr. Potato Head was in the waiting room, he was very cute! This was the longest line all day.

Inside the building behind the Rock'n Roller Coaster guitar was the most amazing and fast roller coaster I've ever been on, gosh it was fun! We rode it 3 times!

Not sure which roller coaster was my favorite, the Hollywood Tower Hotel ride was awesome! I didn't know if I was too old for roller coasters and I decided I wasn't! I loved them! We were able to go on this ride twice! Way fun!

Wednesday on our way back to the hotel we stopped at Bennihana for dinner! Tri was our chief, he was great! He certainly knew how to make steak, shrimp and chicken taste great! Cindy and I sat with a very nice couple from New Jersey, we had a very nice time! After dinner we headed back to the hotel to pack up our things and head back home. It was very fun to get away! It is also nice to be home!

An afternoon at Cocoa Beach

Yesterday my friend Cindy and I traveled to Orlando. I have meetings this week and we decided to make a mini vacation out of it. This afternoon we rented a car and drove to Cocoa Beach. It was about an hour east of Orlando.

It was a very beautiful day. The sky was very blue and the clouds were lovely!

I loved getting to put my feet in the sand and the water! It felt so great!

We had lots of friends at the beach!

Look at their cools tracks in the sand!

Here's Cindy with her fashionable pink bag!

Do you remember the show "I dream of Jeannie" Major Nelson and Jeannie lived in Cocoa Beach. Check out the street sign!

Happy 7th Birthday Simon!

Simon is 7 years old today, I can't believe I have had him for 5 years now! He is such a great companion and friend! I am so grateful to Jeffrey for giving me Simon!

I found this darling cake at Walmart tonight! Isn't it cute?

Look at all the fun things he got! Gram gave him the french fries!

Looks who's 16 years old and look who's 81 years old

Jake and I celebrated his 16th birthday Tuesday night, can you believe he's 16? He is about 5'11" and is such a nice kid! It was so great to get to spend time with him!

Yesterday was my dad's 81st birthday! It's hard to believe he is 81, he is such a goer! I'm so grateful for him! He's the best and will do anything in the world for me! I sure love him so much!

Dallas Duration

Gosh time flies when you're having fun! I can't believe the rest of the week went by so quickly! It was so great to get to hang out with the Plano Thiot's, the Mansfield Thiot's, the Plano Grange's and the Sacramento Thiot's! I loved every minute of my week! Here are a few photos to recap the rest of my week!

On Saturday Keelie and the teddy bears had a tea party! She is a wonderful hostess and knows how to throw a party!

Sunday was a wonderful day! I am so grateful that I was able to be at Addison's blessing! She is such a nice baby girl! I loved getting to eat dinner next to Brooklyn at her house after church! She is such a fun girl! I loved getting aquainted with her!

Monday was a fun day! We did some birthday shopping for Tatia. Look how cute Tatia looks in her new top and jeans!

Keelie got this new dress, tights and new shoes! She quite liked being the model

Check out Keelie's new shoes!

After the shopping trip we ended up in the pools. We had a boy pool and a girl pool! It was a great way to finish up the afternoon.

Tuesday afternoon the Sacramento Thiot's headed for home. It was sure sad to see them go but I so loved getting to share my vacation with them! Thanks Char!

After dropping the Sacramento Thiot's off Robynn and I had some pool time. It felt so great to relax and read for a couple of hours. When Tatia got off work Robynn, Tatia and I went for a pedi. Such a fun pamper party!

Wednesday came way to fast and I packed up and headed for home!

Thanks Thiot's for a great week!
