My Surprise Birthday Party

Posting these pictures so late because I was just able to upload them. Bobby totally surprised me on my birthday by throwing me a surprise birthday party. It all started with Keisha (a good friend of ours) calling me earlier in the week to say she was taking me out for my birthday. Saturday she came and picked me up saying she was taking me for drinks (little did I know this was a part of the plot to get me out of the house) and took me to Cheddars for Margaritas (I had one, which I didn't even finish, and was drunk...I can't handle my liquor...LOL)

After we had a drink there, she took me to Pappadeaux. When we first walked in the door, I thought I saw somebody that looked like Bobby. We walked a little further and I thought I saw somebody that looked like my brother-in-law Terry and my cousin-in-law Doc...I decided I wasn't gonna drink anymore cuz I was seeing things. When we rounded the corner, I saw all of our friends and family, sitting around a table yelling "SURPRISE!"

At dinner Bobby ordered me a drink called a "Catagory 5", more booze. That drink wasn't no punk! Then the waiters came out with a cake for me and everybody sang happy birthday (I of course stood up and danced)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BERTA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE!!!

More pics to follow. Having trouble getting this thing to work the way i want it too...LOL

The Baconater

Maxwell has wanted this sandwich from Wendy's since we were in Ohio but never got it. That is until this past Saturday. Bobby and I made plans to take the kids to have breakfast at our favorite little hole in the wall, then go shopping at a couple Piggly Wiggly's (for those of you who don't know, that's what we call the thrift stores like Salvation Army) then Bobby said we had to have lunch at Wendy's so that Maxwell could get a sandwich called "The Baconater". We did all of our running around then went to Wendy's. I even let Max place his own order. He got The Baconater combo...the sandwich has double meat, cheese and bacon. Both Bobby and i thought surely he couldn't eat the whole thing, let alone the fries and the drink. But he did--he ate the whole, entire grown man sandwich. He said it was the best thing ever!

New Cars (His & Hers)

These are the cars Bobby got for us in December (they're both Chevy Impalas). Bobby's is the grey one mine is the white one. He totally surprised me with this because I wasn't expecting a new car. This is a lot roomier than my Camry although it's taking some getting used to because it feels much bigger. Still, it's a very nice car and a wonderful Christmas gift.

Bobby took these pictures yesterday (I was in the house) of him and the kids giving the dogs a bath. It was time for Damu to get his bath and Max was holding his strap. Damu took off, dragging Max across the yard.

New Year, New Beginnings

Well, no pictures to post just yet seeing as how I'm just starting this thing (with a strong push in the back from my friend Tommie Joe). Just wanted to chime in really quickly and say that my intention with this blog is to keep friends and most importantly, family, up-to-date with what's going on with the Slocum's. I'll try my very best to write and post picure's as often as possible. In 2009, I will be working harder to stay conected with all of those I hold dear.

So with that being said, check back often. You never know what you might find.
