One Proud Mom...
Hi everyone...I know its been a while since I've posted but we've been alittle busy around here. Miss me??? LOL
Last weekend our beautiful daughter Erica (who me?... bragging???never...lol)made her confirmation and we had a bash afterwards at our house. I've posted some pics in case you guys wanted to take a peek.
I took this one of Erica and her b/f Mike back at our house...don't they make a cute couple? What a doll this kid is...he's such a sweet young man..and he ADORES her..its so adorable to watch them together...ahhhh young love (sigh)!
Here's one of me and hubby..."proud parents" with Erica too.
And the "cavity causing"..."filling chilling" cake....man, it was the thickest and sweetest cake I've ever had. You can't tell from the pic but this cake was about 6-7 inches tall (no sh*t!!!) and about 1-2 inches of that was butter-cream frosting. I could literally feel the fillings ready to fall out of my mouth when I took a bite....lmao. It was one layer chocolate, one layer of vanilla (cake) with fudge filling in between. Just looking at it put a few pounds on everyone...
Here's our girl striking a pose as she "attempted" to cut through that baby! She finally gave up and asked ole Mom for some help...he he!
OOh and how could I have almost forgotten to post these great pics of our little guy. The Thurs. night before Erica's confirmation, our little Alex had his testing ceremony for his belt promotion. He was promoted from green belt to blue!! What an amazing job he did...we're so proud of him. The pic below is one of him and his instructor Master Kim. "Thumbs up for a job well done!!!" :D
Ooops, guess I should have posted this one first so they were in order...oh well, doesnt matter. This is Alex and the Grand Master. He is changing Alex's belt to his new blue one and then he gave him his metal. He was so happy and excited...he's worked so hard. Way to go ALEX!!!!! YEAH!!!!
Ok...so that's whats been going on around here....phew!?!??!!? Sorry its such a long post but every mom needs a little brag time about their kids every now and then, right??? Hope you all had a great week and weekend. This weeks gonna be a crazy one too with Thanksgiving coming up on Thurs. and all. Lots of baking and cooking to do...but I love the way the house smells on Thanksgiving morning. Sweet lingering smells of apples and cinnamon from the pies that were baked the night before...mixed with the aroma of a huge fresh turkey roasting in the oven, stuffed full with my grandfather's secret-recipe chestnut stuffing....
DROOL.....Oh god...I'm making myself hungry already...lmao
Well...gotta dash for now...lots to do around here before Thurs. We're having 15 people here for dinner...how about you??? What are all my dear friends plans for Turkey Day????? Drop me a line to say HI and fill me in...I miss you.
Havent heard from alot of you ladies in a while :C
Well...take care all...have a great week...Luv ya!

my little guy is 5 and he has his yellow belt in TKD he is having a hard time with the more complex forms so I think it will be awhile before he moves up in rank. Tell your little guy good job.
I have been a reader for awhile I just dont post very much I also met DL back in the 80's here in Maine got a ride one the bus for like 1 mile to the outdoor concert I dont really remember much of the show or the ride now. What can you expect it was the 80's.
Have a great Thanksgiving.
Congratulations to both of your good-lookin' kiddos, Lisa! :)
OMG you're making my mouth water reading your post about pies and turkey..... us Canadians had our Thanksgiving in October. I wish all my American friends a terrific Thanksgiving!
Your kiddos sound like wonderful kids and you have every right to be proud. Thanks for sharing the photos. :)
Nice photos and GREAT kiddies, Lisa! You are absolutely entitled to brag on them :D This year, everyone (17 in total) are spending the holiday at my brother's and SIL's house, so it should be fun and festive, especially for my Dad :D Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Great photos, and you have every right to brag!
Happy Thanksgiving, Lisa!
