Hand Feeding a SHARK!
READ THIS FIRST!!!!!! You may not understand this rough edit...
Tarpon fishing under Long Key bridge near Duck Key, Fl. After a 20 minute fight with a tarpon, a 14 foot long hammer head shark attacks and eventually eats the tarpon. We tried our best to protect the tarpon by running it down and creating as much noise and bubbles to confuse the shark and hide the tarpon. After a quick release, the shark returns and I aggressively circle the tarpon as the shark slices at it boat side. After about 5 hits, the shark wins and swims off with the tarpon in its mouth. Moments later, half of the 65lb tarpon floats up and I grab the remains to add to the documentation. The shark returns on a high speed pass and bumps the boat with significant enough force to make Julie scream. I give up on the carcass and Corey gets his hands on it just as the hammer head shark strikes again, this time claiming the remains of his dinner. As this massive shark rolls into a dive, Corey gets a tail grab before it is all over. Conservative size estimations are 14 feet long at about 400lbs. This is the best shark attack footage I have ever seen.
Our 2010 Reunion was AMAZING! Kathy & Erik opened up their home in New Hampshire to host our annual gathering this year! There was swimming, a bouncy house, swing sets, kiddie pools, presents, fairy outfits, tutu's, good food, good drinks and GREAT FRIENDS!!!!
I will post LOTS more photos as soon as I have time!!!

WERE...(Past Tense)
...Potty Training :(
She will hold it until naptime and then in her sleep...go.
She even shuns rewards...
M&Ms, Juice Boxes and cold hard $$$.
So, were are back to baby diapers. :(
Need NEW skills
Okay, so I knew before I ever received my referral that she would be SMART and SASSY. Just didn’t know how SMART and SASSY so young! I pride myself on being a master manipulator and assumed that this whole parenting thing was in the bag!! Heck, I am single handedly responsible for her:
• NOT leaving the house without a matching HAIR ACCESSORY
• BELIEVING that NOT NICE girls shouldn’t be allowed to wear PRETTY bows
• Picking shoes to MATCH her outfit
• Being NAKED is NOT NICE (except when walking to a from a bath)
• Lot of other stuff too!!!

Okay, so all that seems to have worked out well for me…but that was then. Now, I’ve LOST my touch…
Today was the first day G wore a PULL UP to school. As soon as she got out of bed I took her to the potty. My thought process is like what I do with me and my puppies…go potty first thing when you wake up. I swore I wouldn’t pressure G into this whole potty training thing…but what’s the point of putting on a fresh pull up only for her to PP in it right away??? Okay, so she’s flipping out! She’s NOT walking to the potty NAKED! OMG, why would I torture (see above list) her with this!!! She’s NOT happy. So I just carry her downstairs to the powder room and offer Big Potty or Small potty. She keeps saying “I DONE” but she hasn’t done anything. I know, I know…but I just want her to sit there for a few minutes! Then she yells “GO AWAY….SHUT DE DOOR”. So, I’m thinking we might be in business. NADA. Don’t know what she did but I understand privacy. Anyway, after 10 minutes and no PP I tortured her by telling her to walk around the family room/kitchen naked. She yelled at me the whole time. “I WANT MY CLOTHES” You know she’s 2.5, right! So I tell her I’m calling Ms Tammy (her teacher) and tell her that it’s good for little girls to go PP in the morning before mommies put on the pull up. You see, this trick has been brilliant in the past and worked EVERY TIME! So I get off the fake phone conversation and tell G what Ms. Tammy said to me and you know what that STINKER yelled…

She must now know that when talking to someone the screen is blue! Crap! She’s on to me! Need upgraded tactic!!!! Help me smarten up!!!! I’ll take all the advice I can get! ROTFLMAO
This is a photo of her on the very same day just as we got out of the car for school. I couldn't hear what she was saying but it was probably something like...
"SEE THIS FACE...DON'T EVEN TRY AND PLAY ME!"
and of course...some more cute photos!!!
and this is the "I DON'T WANNA GO" look when I came to pick her up! :0
