Not such a slacker!

For those of you who actually check this thing often please let me apologize for my slacking! I don't really have an excuse but if you would like me to come up with one let's just say I have been busy cleaning house!! Anyway, I really don't know what has been causing the slacking. Probably the fact that I am back at work! I no longer have the luxury of staying up all night doing smilebox. Whatever the reason, I am back and I have put together a little snippet of what we have been doing this past week. I hope you enjoy and I hope you have a "JOY"ful day!

Ring Ring goes the bell!

There is really no rhyme or reason for this post, just some cute things that have been happening that I wanted to share. Have a "JOY"ful Day!

A day in the life of a birthday monkey!

Wanted to let you see how we celebrate a birthday on Roberta Ave. Here it is from morning to night! Hope you enjoy. Have a "JOY"ful day!

Tomorrow will be 8 months since mom passed. August 14th would have been her 61st birthday. Paula and I have regretted many times not throwing her a big party for her 60th but you know my mom and unless all her kids could be there she did not want it and it was virtually impossible to get all of us together so she wanted us to wait. The one thing she did want for her birthday was a family picture. As I was going through my pictures tonight I found these. We took these at her funeral, I am only sorry she did not get to carry them with her in her purse and show them to anyone and everyone. I am sorry she never got to hold it and brag about her grandkids and tell everyone how she only has 1 granddaughter. I miss her soooo... much as I know many of you do. Some days I can't imagine one more day without her and other days I am so thankful for the strength she instilled in me to be able to make it through the bad days. Anyway, I wanted to share the pictures with all of you just like I know she would have, had she been able to hold them in her hands. Have a "JOY"ful day!
