Starbucks

A Starbucks drinking family. Joe was the first to get hooked on the coffee, then he moved on to flavored coffees, now on to cold coffee drinks. His favorite is an Iced White Mocha with Caramel. I dont like coffee, so I stick to hot chocolate, but my favorite is the Signature Hot Chocolate with double Peppermint. Yummy!

The kids would always drink half of mine so we have been getting them their own the last couple times. They also like the peppermint, or any other flavorings mom has tried. : )

It is a nice family treat before church on cold Sunday mornings.

Date with my Daughter (and her friends)

Emily, Gracie and Laura

The Three Muskateers! These are a couple of Gracie's best friends. Emily is a third grader at Hickory Center and Gracie a forth grader at the same school and Laura a forth grader at Lakewood Park. Emily and Laura only know each other thru Gracie but these girls love to play together. Another love of theirs is High School Musical. So I offered to take the girls to see the movie, wanting also to see it myself. I can't even put in to words how great it was to be with Gracie and her friends. I know one day she will be going to the movie's by herself with her friends. I want to be there as much as possible now. I bought them the biggest tub of popcorn and all of them drinks, plus myself. We go in to find our seats, we watch the previews, the movie is about to start and Gracie leans over and says "Mom, we are going to need more popcorn." I about died laughing. I thought wow, we have only been here for 20min. and the movie hasnt even started. Girls, Girls, Girls gotta love em! Another funny part is when Troy and Gabriella kissed, they only ever kiss one time in each movie so its not so bad for the girls, however I wanted to see my daughters reaction so I looked over with the corner of my eye and they are all huddled together laughing and Emily and Laura have there eyes covered and Gracie just has the biggest smile on her face. Now if we can just keep them that cute at 16.
