Spank...this one is for you!

Spanki, since you seem to be the only fun, outgoing, HONEST friend I have....this video is for you! Is this what you looked like!? We showed this video to the boys last night and their reaction was similar! I'm still laughing about it! Spanki...don't worry! I had several death threats on my email! One confessed to spitting DP and they others had little accidents!
XOXO, The Prankster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh87njiWTmw

Celebrating 80 years life!

Happy birthday Grandma!!! Grandma turned 80 on Sunday and I was able to spend the afternoon with her! Up until 5 yrs. ago my grandma worked at the country club and led a full life! She was an amazing, strong, independent, vibrant, classy, wonderful woman! She has a heart as big as Texas and would give the shirt off of her back! That all changed with one flu shot and she has NEVER been the same! We have been through it with this woman ever since! Depression is a horrible thing! Her mind may have changed, but her heart is still the same! I have wonderful memories! Grandma was placed in a private home about 6 months ago. It's a comfortable, peaceful environment for her with around the clock care. Sunday was a good day! Our visit was good! She smiled and I actually heard her laugh and tell a FUNNY story! Her story went like this...."Miss Anna dropped her napkin at the dinner table one night this week. She leaned over to pick it up off the floor and Edith blew her nose at just the right time! There was an explosive sound and Miss Anna thought it came from her! She said it was the funniest thing that has happened since she moved there and she was the only "sane" one that got to enjoy the laugh!" Laughter is GOOD and it was so GOOD to hear it coming from my grandma again!
I love you Grandma!
We had cake and ice cream with the Golden Girls! These are the sweet ladies that my grandma shares a home with! It really reminds me of the Golden Girl show! I asked them to do silly faces and only Geanie participated! I also asked if they wanted to play chickenfoot with me...
no volunteers!
Aunt Freida discovered the lift chair! She was our entertainment! I definitely take after my Aunt Freida! My silliness is from her! She is to blame!


Grandma with some of her grandkids! Grandma is my only living grandparent now!



Mom, Grandma and Uncle Time...hangin out!

We do the best we can to entertain ourselves while visiting!

Silliness happens in the land of walkers, dentures, depends, potty chairs, medication, blood pressure cuffs, mushed up food, wheelchairs, and hearing aids!!!!
Someone recently didn't know I had a brother. Sorry Coy! I guess I always talk about Lisa and not Coy! Well...here he is! Isn't he cute?
He's single and I'm looking for a wonderful, cute, adorable, nice, amazing sister-n-law!!!
Does anyone have any suggestions?

The Dash

I visited with Michelle at the Int. school last week and she shared The Dash with me. After the recent death of my Granny and celebrating 80 yrs. of life with my Grandma this weekend, I've been thinking a lot about my "dash". I'm going to share it with you and I hope it's as inspiring to you as it has been to me! Thanks Michelle!
The Dash
by Linda Ellis
I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard,
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So when your eulogy is being read
With your life's actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?
I just love this! It definitely got me to thinking! So girls...how about your "dash"?

A trip of a lifetime...


Disney World...here we come!!!!! OK, OK, OK....here THEY come!!!!

I'm so jealous!!!

Oh look... it's Cinderella's castle!



Downtown Disney!


Deborah, Logan, Garet and Whitney enjoying a day at Universal! Well, I guess they were enjoying their day. But, what do I know? I wasn't there!


What a great trip for these boys!

The sword in the stone!


In Downtown Disney there was a Lego store! Everything was made out of legos! This was one of Garet's favorite parts of the trip! He goes all the way to Florida and buys MORE Legos! Go figure! This dinosaur is ALL LEGOS!

I would love to take my boys to Legoland in Cali. Anyone ever been?


Epcot!!!


Universal Studios! Something stinks!



Jurassic Park!!! You all look alittle to mellow to be in such danger!

Look out Deborah!!!


Huh? I thought you guys went to Florida, not Margaritaville!
It looks like Logan has had one to many!

The view from the condo ! How nice!


Oh my... this chick taught Garet how to boogy board!


The Robinson's were able to visit family while they were away! Garet met new friends! Sure looks like they had a great time!
Garet, I told you to look out for sharks...not play with them!



We have hidden talents here at the Rose household! We are great Elvis impersonators! I clean house to Elvis!!! OK... someone buy Logan a pair of sunglasses! Cracks me up! Too bright? No problem! He just closes his eyes!
On the road again! I just can't wait to get on the road again!


PLEASE HELP!!! How do you thank sweet friends for taking your son on a trip of a lifetime? They have been so gracious! They spoiled him rotten for two weeks and I would really love to do something special for them! Any suggestions?
