Rain drops keep fallin on our heads...

We have had some intense rain the last couple of weeks here in Palm Beach, FL. The National Weather Service has been giving "possible tornado warnings" just about everyday. There were a couple of days when I really thought we would get one. Just a little scary!!! So far we have had one tree blown so hard that it is now leaning to it's side. Tomm was out there the other day trying to help it back to straight (hee hee... I had a little too much fun watching). I am glad that we haven't had too much other damage besides some unhealthy looking plants outside. The rain is a huge blessing right now, hopefully it will solve the drought problem so we can stop borrowing water from Georgia. Seriously!, I would never thought a place like Florida would have to have water brought IN.????

Not too much else going on in our little world down here. Tomm and I had a fun date tonight. We went to dinner and we are now just takin it easy here and the house. I am going to Utah in a couple of weeks so I am so exited about all the plans I have. It is going to be soo fun!

Fore!!

Nothin like a day at the golf coarse! Tomm recently bought himself a brand new set of clubs. So he decided to take them out for a spin yesterday. I came along for the ride. I don't play yet but I just ride along (if anyone hasn't ridden with Tomm in a golf cart, you are missin out... it's pretty exiting!). I take the pictures and I like to observe all the nature and take in the peacefullness of the coarse.... oh yeah, and someone has to make sure he doesn't take too many mulligans. We had alot of fun! It was so nice to take time and do something together. Tomm works SO hard all the time so it's good to see him get away from work for awhile and do something he loves.

Here is the coarse's suggestion box. Ha ha

You can put your 2 cents in but watch out for the gators!

Here I discovered an Armidillo... he was rootin around for a snack. They are STRANGE looking creatures. It made me want to poke it with something. I'm nice though so I didn't.

That ball is about to be introduced to that shiney new club. This ended up being a terrific shot. (... Gosh my shadow is big... I need to lay off the sweets! Ha ha.)

Hopefully you can see him... we suprised this little alligator when we were first driving into the coarse. He made a run for it but we were too quick for him.Good swing babe!
Here I am being very quiet and entertaining myself. Pretty isn't it. It was just such a perfect day to be outside.
Here's this funny bird drying his wings out.

The Hulk!

Yesterday I spent the day with my friends Dianne and Matt up in Orlando. We ended up going over to Universal where they have a park called Islands of Adventure which has so many fun roller coasters including the very exiting HULK. Now my little buddy Dianne gets a little queasy on roller coasters and let me tell you.... this one is not to be taken lightly... even for experienced/professional riders like myself. Well Matt and I had the strong stomachs of the group so we went for it and it was a blast!!! We had grins from ear to ear afterwards. I highly recommend this theme park to anyone who hasn't been there yet.

Now everyone don't be too jealous.... we were just about to go on our second ride and then someone turned on the rain! We got rained out of the park... they shut all the rides down on us! So good thing we atleast rode the Hulk once... it was worth it for me. We still had a blast even though we came out drenched. That's what good friends are for... you have a good time no matter what you do and no matter what little suprises come up.

Matt and Dianne! XOXOXO

Me and BFF Dianne

The Hulk Coaster at Islands of Adventure... in all it's greatness!

Check out that drop off!... SO FUN!!!
Stephanie and Jason, October 2007. We were all smiles after riding The Hulk! We had so much fun! Can't wait to do it again. Hee hee

Georgia here we come!

Tomm and I went up to Georgia this weekend to see our friends. We had such a blast! (I wish I would've gotten more pictures!) Everytime we go back it makes me miss living there so much, just because we both have such great friends living there.... and then we get stuck in traffic and I'm glad we moved, ha ha... Atlanta traffic is a nightmare.Louie
Here we are at the "Wii bowling alley"... SO fun! For the first time in my life I broke 100!... threw out my shoulder tho. Ha ha!
Tomm, looking very cute in red!
My BFF Dianne and her daughter, Nicole.
What a couple of hot chicks!

Welcome Grant, Natalie and the Drake-ster!

My lil sis Nat and her family are here visiting from Utah and... I have decided to keep them all!! I am scheming a way to prevent them from going home; if anyone has any good ideas let me know. We are having so much fun together! So far we have gone to the beach, shopping (of coarse), and explored the gorgeous surroundings by where we live. Today is Grant's 25th birthday so we partied with some pot roast and yellow cupcakes and chocolate fudge frosting, Yumm yum! Here are some pics we have taken so far...

Lather up Drake

LovebirdsSmile, sunshine!

Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog

I am such a slow poke playing the tag post game! Here are the facts you guys... finally!

Three JOYS




#1 Tomm! He is such a wonderful husband. I am such a lucky girl to have such a great guy, he makes me so proud and happy. 1 1/2. Spending time with the people I love, I have such a sweet family and friends. 2. Shopping! 3. Babies.... baby animals, baby humans... any kind of baby! I got them on the mind.





Three FEARS
I aint skeerd a nothin! ... haa ha .... 1. Losing someone I love. 2.Spiders, 3.I used to be afraid of certain dogs now I am just afraid of them fighting... any kind of animal fight.
PS: SO when I was little my Dad would take me to the record store with him and this one day I saw a picture of David Bowie with his big wild hair and crazy makeup and it scared me so bad because I thought he was some kind of wolf-man. Yes my friends, I had the most terrible nightmares over David Bowie!... everytime I see the Labriyth I am proud of myself that I was able to conquer my fear.

Three GOALS
1. ORGANIZE my home! Why do I keep random papers?!!! It's like I do it subconciously. OI! 2. Start getting up earlier, when I start my day earlier and workout right when I get up I have so much more energy and spunk. 3. Get into shape. 4. Learn Spanish


Three Obsessions
1. Reading, 2. Crystal Light On the Go packets... for me water gets boring so I love to add something to it and guzzle it down, 3. Working out (but I am also obsessed with food so my loosing/toning rate isn't quite as fast as it should be... humph!)


Three Random facts about me
1. I wake up laughing alot but then I will remember my dream and it wasn't funny at all. I love it though, great way to start the day. 2. People are always asking me where I am from or what nationality... I am an all american mutt! I am not sure what all is on Mom's side... Mediteranian and English? but on my Dad's I know it is Norwiegen and a little Native American decent too. Steph and I are often mistaken for being Spanish. 3. I wish I could whistle like a guy sooo bad! I practice all the time and I just can't get it... life would be so much more fun and meaningful if I could do that!

Well that was fun! Okay... so I am tagging Emily and Stephanie, have fun girls!!!

Happy Mother's Day

We hope all the Mom's in our lives had a nice and relaxing day. You should know how special you are and that you are so loved! Tomm watched the Players golf tornament on TV and then we spent the evening with our friends over at thier house.

Me and Tink

Check out those baby blues! Me-ow!

Here's little Buddy. Just look at that face...What a sweetie-pie!

My lastest indulgence

I have been coveting this little tea set for months now. I got them at a store called Anthropologie. Tomm's mom bought the tea pot and one of the cups for me while we were out shopping one day (thank-you so much Mom!).... they have sold out of this set so many times... so I am so lucky that I found three more cups! Aren't they precious?!

Peachy keen, Jelly bean!

It's May everyone and that means the warm weather is on it's way (in our case the really hot/humid/bugs everywhere-ness). So what better to welcome the fabulous weather than having a fun get together with the people you love! I thought I would share a fun recipe with ya that you might like to try at your next party/barbecue. Hope you enjoy it!

Put peach mixture into pan and spread evenly. Pour pastry batter over

peaches and spread evenly.

Bake for 30-40 mins

Happy Birfday!

Happy Birthday Tomm! We celebrated the big day today... his birthday is actually tomarrow, but we thought we'd party a little early because tomarrow is a "work" day. We had soo much fun today! We went and looked at houses (we are currently in the market) and went to some of our favorite stores and looked at some cool stuff and had lunch at Chili's.

Here's me and Tomm sneakin a little kiss... XOXOXO

Of coarse there was cake and icecream! Tomm asked for a white cake this year and it was SO good, I usually just make chocolate stuff so it was fun to make something different.

Make a wish! (I wish she would stop taking my picture!)

Let's see that gorgeous smile!

Here's everyone trying to relax and watch a little cage fighting while Whitney is camera happy (notice someone's little shiny eyes peeking over from the couch, just above Tomm's head).

Where there is wrapping paper and ribbon there is also our two little darlings... Randy and Purrl! hee hee
