LOGAN-IN-A-BOX

"Logan-in-a-box" reminds me of the Christmas story about the Island of Misfit Toys....."No one wants a Charlie-in-the-box". Lol but I will take the Logan-in-a-box any day. Thanks Chelsea for letting him hang with me today! Love you both.

HE'S GONNA BE A CHEF!

Logan appreciates good cookware when he sees it....my newest addition, "Emeril". I think he might become a well reknowned chef some day. Forget toys, give this kid a few pots and some lids. Sam is placing his order and Logan thinks he silly.

THERAPY...A MOUSE, PIZZA & BRADON

I had just finished at court and was on my home when I got a call from Lacey needing my help with Bradon while she took Brandon to the emergency room. Brian, Bradon and I went to Chucky Cheeses for some entertainment. Nothing like a big mouse, crappy pizza and a cute lil guy to take the edge off of the stresses of court. Just what I needed. I have the cutest video of Bradon and Brian dancing on a DDR game. Both of them can shake their money makers! lol Therapy at it's finest.

SETTLED? LOOKS LIKE IT!

Tues, Feb. 19th Brian Sr. and I were able to reach a settlement in our final divorce decree issues. I have my ideas why he was ready to settle but will keep those to myself. I got a $400.00 increase in support due to the fact that he made $100,232.00 dollars in 2007. He lives for free with Marigold, paid $1,700.00 a month in support and may have $500.00 in expenses for his car but still he claims to be broke.....oh I also gave a $25,000.00 allowance for atty fees and payment of all his debts that he listed and still he had $35,000.00 left over. Hmmmmm, I just don't get it, but then again its not up to me to wonder any more as to why Marigold lets him mooch off of her. Brian Sr. just has one more hurdle and thats with the IRS for his fraudulent tax returns for 2005 and 2006. So gang, it's all over so you can stop banding together to beat Lori up in court. Thanks so much for your support, forever grateful....ha.

OLIVE GARDEN WAS GREAT

Since the kids and I decided not to join in the fun at Organ Stop Pizza we met with Mom and Dad at Olive Garden to celebrate their wedding anniversary and dad's 70th birthday. It was a wonderful meal with good company. You know dad, always good for a joke or two and Brian tried to keep up with a few of his own. It's so funny how much alike mom and I are, we ordered the exact same thing. I hope you find something fun at the Bass Pro Shop, let us know what you get.

STOP TALKING!

I decided to post this picture as a lesson and a warning. When Aunt Lori has her camera out you are suppose to look up and say "cheese". Got it?

SOUR PUSS THATS MY LEMON!

Bradon tell your mom to stop talking long enough for Aunt Lori to take her picture so I can post it or else I will start posting the bad ones! Thanks for being so good at Uncle Bears. Love you!

HANG IN THERE!

Dad, Charlie Eaton and Mike Embry. Dad did you get cornered like I did 'cause that is exactly how I felt!

GOOD TIMES AT UNCLE BEARS

Friday was the first time I had ever been to Uncle Bears. My dad invited me to join him and his work buddies for a drink to pre-celebrate his upcoming 70th birthday. Thank you Brandon, Lacey, Bradon and Jace for being such a strong anchor in a rough sea atomsphere. Dad you have a great group of friends, wish I had gotten to talk to them but instead I was held captive by a blowhard! Hee hee.

SO BIG NOW

When I took Brian to get his permit back in December of '06 I worried because when he was behind the wheel of the Sequoia he looked like a baby driving at only 5'5" tall. As a right of passage he went to sleep that night and woke up a man. I swear he grew 5 inches and now is taller than me and his dad. He was worried that he was going to be short like his dad but it's obvious now that he got my side of the family genes. Now when he drives he looks like a man.

BIRTHDAY GAMES

I wish this was the only kind of driving that my lil guy wanted to do!

PARTY GIRLS

Taylor and Veronica watched as Brian and Ryan showed their stuff on DDR. Taylor with her glamour glasses on. lol

BRIAN'S B-DAY FUN CONTINUES

After dinner it was time for a little dancing DDR style! Bri's best friend Ryan was giving him a run for his money as they both tried to out do eachother.

BRIAN'S BIRTHDAY DINNER

Tradition has held that Brian chooses the place for dinner and gets to open his gifts. Taylor got him a wireless headphone for his Xbox. NICE!

BRIAN'S BIRTHDAY NUMBER 17!

Brian began his birthday morning with laughs which was a good start to the day.

SAM'S MOTHER PASSED AWAY

Sam's mother passed away January 31, 2008. Thanks to each of you that have sent your condolences via voicemail, text messaging, cards and flowers. He is taking her passing pretty hard and I am sure he feels very alone since his mother was the only family that he was not at odds with. Sadly, Tina didn't have the boys call him to offer any comfort.
