Jake and Bella sitting in a tree....


Jake attended (or was dragged to) a midnight Twilight/New Moon party at Wal Mart with the Whatcott family. And yes you could have your picture taken with the look-alike Twilight characters. I think he had more fun than he let on. :) I love this picture because I love the Whatcott girls...but it does seem Jake and "Bella" are getting a little cozy. Jake was complaining about how white he looked in the picture, and we decided he fit right in with the vampires!

Makeover


Meg left this little note on my bed the other day. And of course I said YES! She brought out her "makeover" kit which included yellow finger nail polish, glitter lip gloss and lots and lots of hair accessories. I really should have taken a picture of myself post-makeover. I have to say I looked kinda cute!
For my next makeover, can mommy have liposuction and microdermabrasion????

Florida (without the kids this time)

We just returned from a fabulous getaway in Naples, Florida!!!! Who cares if it rained half the time and was a little chilly! We were just glad to get away and be really spoiled by Fidelity hospitality. Alan made "President's Circle" at Fidelity Investments and won this trip. Fidelity knows how to put on a show. Each night at dinner felt like a high school prom. And during the day, they had us pampered like celebrities. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

Formal awards dinner night. We were soooo sunburnt this night!
There were a million things to do at the Ritz Carlton
This was the awards presentation dinner
I was happy to see a Tiffany's box at my place setting. All of the ladies got a cute necklace.
Alan on our balcony
Amazing beaches in Naples
A phone in our bathroom...too funny!

Alan in front of the biggest flower arrangement I've ever seen.
The dinners each night were incredible! This night there was a DJ and dancing.

Lounging on the lounge chair in our room
It was too cold on the beach to wear swim apparel...

Alan saving his soda for later
Collecting shells from "Shell Beach"
Alan's find....a shell too big to take home.
Alan and his shells
View from our balcony
Shell Beach
Alan and his big shell again...He was very proud.
You can't tell from the picture, but the sand was COVERED in beautiful shells
My view from my beach chair

We stayed a couple of days at a different resort....It rained all day so they never unlocked the lounge chairs. So Alan decided he would enjoy them anyway.

Pathway to the beach (at the first resort)
We never saw an alligator....but loved the warning sign
