Everyone loves Maggie!

New Pantry

I re-sized a screen door and built shelves.  Not too shabby.

Calm before the storm

The picture below shows a calm group of friends enjoying an evening at the park.  Not a care in the world.  Mason laughed and played while the adults carried on.  Everything was going smoothly, until...  My dog, found the smelliest pile of poo, decided to dive face first and roll around in it.  We all lost a piece of ourselves that night.

Maggie and Friends

I think the picture says it all.

Side Project

This one is for Pinkley.  She gave me the idea of a screen door for the pantry.  I think it is growing on Alea.  It still needs a coat of paint and a screen.  I will post more once it is finished.

Butler Farms

PROM!

Alea was Bayside's co-sponsor for the class of 2013.  One of the joys of being class sponsor is prom duty.  It was an early day setting up tables, sprinkling glitter, assembling props and a long night of handing out water bottles.  We put the giant star together with cardboard and a hot glue gun. 

Food trucks

I had my first run-in with a food truck at the convention and it was delightful.  Kick-ass tacos, goat chees ravioli and conch fritters made us smile. 

Tacos

Ravioli's for Troy White

Hotdogs for Troy

Sweet Lou

Coinciding with Jason's wedding was MEGACON.  Lots of people dressed for success that weekend.  Unfortunately I left my ALF costume at home.  We had some good times and met some good people.  I got pretty close to the Hulk and an off-brand R2 unit.

Good Times

It was fantastic seeing everyone at the wedding, I have to thank Jason and Karen for making it all possible.  Geoff says I should write more on my postings however I'm not sure he is even reading this.  The comments should answer that question.   

Happy Late St. Patrick's Day

Here is a special wedding/Patrick's day treat just for you.

The kilt was fantastic

Congratulations Jason!

Congratulations to Jason and Karen Mann!  The handfasting was a fantastic ceremony presided over by the honorable Nicholas Sacco.  They shut down half of Winter Park just for the wedding.  Nick has turned into quite the minister.

Future site of the Butler Family Farm

The land has been cleared, two full grown hibiscus trees have been removed and the oak has been trimmed.  We now have three banana plants, two are dwarf cavendish and the other is a Goldfinger.  Next step is tilling and lots of horse poop.

Happy Birthday Alea!

Alea's birthday weekend was a blast, the Cardinals beat the Nationals and the fire pit roared.

Nolan Ryan

FIT had their annual plant and garden festival, it was very windy and a bit chilly but bearable.  We picked up a banana plant (Goldfinger variety) and a pitcher plant.  Named the Pitcher Nolan Ryan.

Superhero Walk

There was a superhero/villian walk downtown, quite similar to the Zombie walk from last year.  Plenty of folks and their dogs met up in thier finest superhero apparel.  Quite fascinating was a Willie Nelson Superman who was texting and chain smoking the entire time while donning a bandana and fanny pack.

I could imagine Enrique Iglesias telling me he could be my hero.

Haven't Missed Much

We are still here, I hope to get back to regular postings soon.  Here is a little something to tide you over.

St. Nicholas

Nick came out for the New Years, yep, that is how long I have been holding on to this gem.  Judging by my shirt, we had a taco night as well.

Pet Rocks!

Here is an artists rendition of my classroom.  We learned about rocks and soil, I decided that we should make pet rocks.  This picture is pretty accurate.

We're Back!

Sorry for the delay, but with the hustle and bustle of working and coaching I haven't been giving you all the attention you deserve.  Hopefully this picture of Magpie and I will ease the pain.

It all happened at the zoo

Went to the zoo, Steve and Mason fed the loris, end of story.

A Very Mason Christmas

Mason and Steve were in town and we shared some holiday cheer.  Guess who loves Mater!

Indian River

We took back to the water this time with small children.  Arianna was very worried about drowning and Tristan was excited to paddle.  We came across a dolphin and two manatees. 

"Look, A Dolphin"

Anchors Aweigh

Under the Sea

I am surprised that my cheesy little camera was able to take such great pics in the aquarium.  I have a couple really cool ones with Alea and Beth, and in the bottom one I was petting my new fish friend.

Christmas

Lots of Christmas Loot.

We wore our Crimbus sweaters that Erin created

Maggie Loves to help open presents

Christmas Eve

After a wonderful dinner at River Rocks we piled into the truck and drove through Wickham Park's "Festival of Lights".  Good times all around.
