Birthday Breakfast

So in honor of my birthday...dad, Sammie, and I took a fishing trip in our own back yard. I've been randomly walking across the bridge throwing corn, crackers, or Sam's dogfood in the water to see what kind of fish we had....tad poles or real fish. Final survey:
CATFISH!!!

Check out our 2 cats (the bluegill did not make it in the album...I was mad at his ability to immitate King Kupa and SPIKE!!)


Sammie didn't want anything to do with the fish...period! She wouldn't even look at it! Dad was another story...

it's coming...

Dear Summer,
I miss you...really...I mean it...humidity and all....I can't wait till you're here!!! Life has been crazy and absolutely wonderful the past two weeks..but here are a few things I certainly look forward to THIS year!!!

Spring is here!!!

How about this beautiful weather!!! I always love the start of spring when there's so much excitement in shopping for bright spring colors, all the blooms on the trees...and who doesn't love dusting the pollen off your windshield in the morning;)?!?! Definitely not Pat as I'm sure he's already washed his car once this week as a result from all the pollen in the air!
Speaking of Spring, can you say perfect weather for Senior pictures!!! The Hackman family has a special place in my swimming-pool loving-Pampered Chef heart =) I love the texture and areas of all the old areas St. Louis has to offer, and even better, Matt was willing to truck around in the Orange Fit with me in the city!! The oldest of the three boys, Matt, is a senior and planning on going to SIUE next semester!! Best of luck Matt, hope you love them!!
