Tues May 6th Caspersen Beach, Siesta Keys Beach, Sharkeys on the Pier for Lunch and to our condo at Sea Horse Beach Resort #247 3453 Gulf of Mexico Dr. Long Boat Key, FL

The clerk at the Inn suggested we go to Caspersen Beach to look for sharks teeth. It was only a few miles away. Once we found one and knew what to look for we had success.

  we liked this guys invention so we took a picture for our next shark hunting trip.

 Siesta Key's Beach voted #1 beach in the USA so colorful on the beach and the sand was so soft.

 a couple guys on Caspersen Bch with some interesting suits....

 Pretty happy with the view from our balcony. Fred & Anne were our neighbors on the left and Bob and Dolly our neighbors on the right. Everyone made sure they were on the balcony at 8:00 for the sunset. We shared drinks and ice cream.

 

Mon MAY 5th FLORIDA TRIP 1ST NIGHT IN VENICE, FL

We flew into Orlando, rented a mini van and drove to Venice, FL for the night. We stayed at the Inn on the Beach. We arrived in time to watch the sunset then went to dinner at the Daiquiri Deck in downtown Venice.  Venice is famous for sharks teeth on the beach and the Inn had sharks teeth screens they let us borrow. We didn't have any luck the first night. Venice is also where Tervis cups are made so we stopped at a factory store and bought several.

Playing for Jesse today. They won and Boo got an interception. When I was drawing on his arm He told me "Mimi my mom doesn't allow me to write with permanent markers on myself".

Cocoon or Cancun????

Killian is learning about bugs at school and came home and told his momma; "Did you know caterpillars hatch out of Cancuns?"  Yes, I love this boy. He makes me smile.
and on a sad note:
Boo and Tom and I were outside playing catch with his football in the front yard.
Darcy came out with her seat cushion, her blanket, and a framed picture of Jesse
sitting beside her and they watched us play.

Den Trip~Sun Long walk and playing with the kids and home again.

The Easter Bunny brought the kids bird houses to paint. Killian told us he was painting it green for the grass and orange for the sky. I said "Is the sky orange?" and he said "Yes, the Sunset is."  That is one smart little boy.

The new aquarium with my photographer/oceanographer date.

Today is the 2nd day the new aquarium in SLC has been opened. Gavin and I ventured out to go to it. He was so excited to go, which made me happy. Only about 1/2 of the exhibits are open and we got evacuated out to the rain for a bit, but it was still a good day. Chels text and asked how Boo was and he text back “Happy”. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Road Trip in Papa's new truck with Boo.

  We took a road trip in Tom’s new truck to Big Papa and Peggy’s House. Boo went along to look for sheds and found a couple. We also stopped at Bandana Ranch to see where Ken & Holly’s land is. Gavin asked if we could do this again Sun or could we do this as a family tradition every year.

He not only found the shed, but the head also was still connected.

and the student of the month is.....GAVIN

Denver Trip getting ready for baby

The end?

This may be the end of mccarty-party.blogspot.com


I can't upload pictures on here and I can't write a blog without pictures.


Not sure why I can't upload them.  Maybe I've reached my quoto,
but it says something about my computer doesn't jive with the blog website so
I'm thinking I need to update something.


So I'll let you know if I start up a new blog.


Killian said so many cute things when we were there and I've forgot most of them already.
But the one I do remember:
Killian: "Mimi, did you know my mom is pregnant?"
Mimi: "I did'
Killian: "So you noticed, huh? "

2014 Stansbury Park Polar Bear Plunge

We had a really quiet New Year's Eve.  Have we ever stayed home alone in the 38 yrs we've been married? I can't remember. We used to always have a party either to attend or when we used to host one at the clubhouse for years. Then when the grand babies arrived we would rather stay home with them. But was it ever just Tom and I? I'm sure there was but we can't remember it. We decided last night it's a really good thing we like each other so much because more and more we're staying home with just the two of us. Tom made chili in the crock pot and we watched more of our Breaking Bad marathon. At 11:30 we had completed #20 of 53 episodes. Not sure if I love it but  I decided to step outside the box and try something new and now I have to finish them. Then I'll go back to my happily ever after shows.

Christmas Day with Boo

Boo got a new hangman game. We were playing it and I chose the word Bike to have him guess. He had already guessed the I and the K when he said I'm ready to guess the word. "I Love Killian".  Now that made me smile.

 Papa and Boo's new Action Camera

 The favorite this year seemed to be Football Cards from Uncle Gale and more in his stocking.

and the BB Gun. Along with the Don't shoot your eye out movie.

and his new pj's.

It was the week end before Christmas and all through the house.....

Tom, Shawn and I drove to Tabby Mtn to surprise Peggy and Big Tom for Peggy's 66th birthday. We had scary roads up Parley's Canyon both ways. Once we got to Tabby Mtn they had sunshine and only about an inch of snow.

 Big Tom had us get her a cabbage patch doll.

 We got Big Tom a black Denver Bronco shirt. We got to watch the game with him and they won.

 Peggy's kids made the trip up also.

We saw these tracks as we were leaving. Scary!!!

One more old house picture to add to Tom's collection.

Then we stopped by W&C's family Christmas party where we ran into Santa holding Addie. So precious.
