Pictures from the reunion are up. I warn you, there are over 700. I included pictures taken by my Uncle Sam and my father. My Uncle Same would like me to add the disclaimer that his pictures tend to focus on his daughters and granddaughters. With so many photos, I didn’t take time to add an individual title and description to every photo. Enjoy.

Kyllan and I had a great time at my mother’s family reunion in Jacksonville this past weekend. Unfortunately I am having some trouble loading all of the photos from the weekend on Flickr. I will let everyone know once they are all up.

Pictures from the reunion are up on my flickr page. Pictures from our visit with Neil and Noah are also up.

Happy mother’s day to out mothers, Betty and Sandra, and to all of out friends and family members (especially Kyllan’s friend and line sister “CP” who is celebrating her first mother’s day. )

That’s right…. if you forgot from last year, my sister and I have back to back Birthdays, so we get to continue celebrating today.  Happy Birthday Kim!

I would like to wish a very happy birthday to my wife, Kyllan. Luckily our timing worked out pretty well and the two of us were able to celebrate a few days early while she was still in Denver. We tried a new restaurant for dinner, but stuck to one of our regular stops for breakfast. Apparently Kyllan is a fan of Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops. Who knew? For those of you dying to find out, we managed to see Iron Man, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Baby Mama. I will save my reviews for another post. There are a few photos of our weekend on my Flickr account.

Call or Text message Kyllan now!

Kyllan at 5yrs old

As many of you already know, I joined Kyllan and her family on Tuesday/ Wednesday for a very unique and amazing experience. The story is going to be told by a 3rd party this Friday. Friends and Family please call or E-mail so that we can share the details.

Today I am wishing a happy birthday to my wonderful husband. I was searching for a picture of him to post and decided to post a picture of him when he was younger. I think this is such a cute picture!

So if you have not heard or seen, William and I were featured in the March 24th issue of Jet Magazine! Many people have asked why it was not a picture from the wedding day. The picture was actually taken at the reception William’s parents hosted for us in Jacksonville, FL in December. The photographer from the reception submitted the photo to Jet and they published it. My name was spelled wrong and they had the wrong information about our Honeymoon (we went to Turks and Caicos, not a Carribean Cruise), but we were just excited that we were even featured. For those who were unable to see it, see below.

On Saturday, Drew, my nephew, and I had a play date. We started out the afternoon at the park. Then, we went to the Build-a-Bear workshop, but since he had apparently just made one a week or so ago, we didn’t actually create another one. We searched for a cell phone for his new bear (Drew loves gadgets), but they didn’t have one he was looking for. Next Drew asked to go to the Bookstore. Drew played with the trains and then found a Cars book. He loves the movie Cars, and was not going to allow me to miss the opportunity to buy the book that came complete with small Lighting McQueen and Tow Mater cars that he could race on the floor. I decided that since it was a bit more expensive, I could perhaps read this to him and purchase another book, but when I started to read it, he leaned over and kindly says, “let’s go buy it.” Well… I couldn’t resist Drew, so we bought it. Next Drew decided that chicken nuggets and french fries were needed to refuel, so he chose Wendy’s for dinner (this worked for me since Wendy’s is generally my default Fast Food choice). Dinner was very interesting. Drew informed me that if I wanted to be fabulous, I “have to put my hair back in a pony tail”. My sister and I still have no clue where he learned this! As the saying goes… “kids say the darndest things”! We concluded our day out at another park, but the “big kids” were a bit wild and kept running over the “little kids”, so we did not stay for long. After slight resistance to taking a bath and going to bed, and several occasions where he got out of bed because he couldn’t sleep, he was soon off in dreamland, probably reflecting on the great day with Aunt KyKy.
