Cookout at Adam and Deb's !!!

Adam and Deb invited us to a cookout in his house in Paisley. Jasmine went nuts at first when she saw all the strange people but she eventually calmed down with some interesting toys !

It was really good to see Sywenki again!

We miss him !

Deb Cauley, she's awesome.

Jasmine started getting horribly fussy,

and she was temporarily entertained by the aquarium

(that the neighbor happens to see from their porch, lol).

It was getting super cold so Adam decided to build a fire!

We all sat around it and ate marshmellows, flan, and lemon tort !

Happy Birthday mom !!!

My mommy turned 51 today !!! I made sure she felt special during this time. I bought her a quatrillion dollars worth of Scrapbooking stuff; made sure gramma had somebody to buy a gift for mom (I was that somebody), we surprised her at her Wednesday meeting with a cake big enough for everybody to have a piece, AND... we took her to eat at Toni's Sushi Bar in Ocala. It was just OK, but it was the thought that counted...

Happy Birthday Mommy !!!

World's oldest person dies at age 115 !!!

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Emiliano Mercado del Toro was born when Puerto Rico was still a Spanish colony and trained as a soldier the year World War I ended.

On Wednesday, having spent just a month as the world's oldest person, he died at his home on the northern coast of Puerto Rico, his grandniece, Dolores Martinez told The Associated Press. He was 115.

"He died like a little angel," Martinez said.

Mercado del Toro never married and had no children.

In the seaside town of Isabela, he became a local celebrity after he was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records for his longevity.

"We're all crying, but we knew this day would come," said town spokeswoman Rosa Luciano.

Mercado del Toro, who was born on Aug. 21, 1891, became the oldest known person in the world last month when 116-year-old Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bolden died in December in a nursing home in Tennessee.

A 114-year-old Connecticut woman, Emma Faust Tillman, is now believed to be the oldest living person. She was born Nov. 22, 1892.

Monday Morning, at home, after work, first day of 2007!!!

Hello, its the author of this blog, Frances. I'm home and it's 9:42AM. Jasmine finally decided to take a nap, and eventhough Steven and mom are off of work, they must have had a really long night with the New Year and all. They are still sleeping. I decided to stay awake and watch Jasmine until they woke up, because face it, I'm gonna sleep all day, it's only fair. Jose went out to his friend Alex's house yesterday and he was supposed to come home after it. He never did. He never even called. Mom is PISSED OFF. She said she's not gonna let him go out til February. We'll see about that, she's such a softy. I am super duper sleepy but I need to post some more pictures on my blog. It was a tough weekend at work. I keep saying, Thank God I like the people I work with. If not, it would be hell there. Being a respiratory therapist is not easy when you have seven ventilators running and you are the only therapist in the ICU. The nurses need you for EVERYTHING. They're nice though, they're just looking out for their patients. I got home and I saw that there was an open bottle of champagne in the refrigerator. I poured myself a glass to celebrate the first day of 2007 all by myself. PITY PITY ME. Junito had bought it when he came home so mom could make him some Mimosa, but guess what, SHE FORGOT!!! Surprise, surprise. Maria Lassalle FORGOT. Too funny, She is so ditzy ever since dad left, everything just slips her mind. I think she's gone nuts. I hope she's not reading this. If you are, MOM I LOVE YOU AND YOUR DITZY WAYS. You rubia you.

I got home at around 7:30AM and Jasmine was standing on her crib holding onto the rails. She is so strong. You know she started crawling on December 25th!!! We put the TMX Elmo in front of her and she crawled right to him. We were all screaming. I'm surprised she didn't start crying. Then I think the next day, she started standing up on her own when holding on to things. She says mama, dada, nana, and tata already. My new year's resolution: TO PUT A LID ON MY POTTY MOUTH. Charles R. Swindoll once said" "Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children." Banks suddenly came to mind because on my way home I had to stop at Sun Trust Bank. Pesky little errands that us mere mortals must go through. Good times !!!

Anyways, enough blabbing, please go visit my websites. They are loaded with new pics.
Love,
