Mosaic Monday

Once again, it's Monday and time for Mosaic Monday. Head on over to Simple Shutter for the rules and to view other mosaics.

This week's theme.....husbands.




1. Daddy Buck with his most favorite person in the whole wide world!!

2. Daddy Buck and his #2 and #3 fav people in the whole wide world.

Ok, Ok...so I know that his head is cropped off, but it was somewhat intentional, so that I could crop into the picture the fact that Daddy Buck will do just about anything and his boys will "monkey see, monkey do" just about anything that he does. Please do note that we live in the deep south and this picture of my boys in their shorts and leather boots was taken in the dog-days of summer with at least 120% humidity.

3. Daddy Buck with the person that gives my a run for my money for being the #1 fav...his Uncle Tim. Don't they look alike??

4. Daddy Buck speaking to an auditorium full of 200+ Pre-K4 to 2nd graders for a Veteran's Day program at his mother's elementary school. You will not find a more loyal, patriotic, passionate American citizen that role models the importance of patriotism to others daily.

5. After patriotism, Daddy Buck's next greatest characteristic is...a love for life, all life. I'm telling you, the man can't even stand to see a plant go without water. This is a picture of him admiring the marine life of the shark tank at the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans.

6. I am not one to write sappy, tear-jerker posts on my blog; I prefer to keep it more light-hearted and humorous (how's that working for me?), so I won't start now. But, what I will say is that Daddy Buck is definitely a man that has devoted his life to improving the lives of others. He did exactly that when he entered the military in 1993 and continues to do that by working tirelessly for our family day in and day out.

Mosaic Monday

I am trying my hand at a new blog carnival this week...Mosaic Monday, created by Lori at Simple Shutter. Each Monday, Lori posts a mosaic on her blog with Mr. Linky allowing others to join in on the fun and she posts a theme for next week's mosaic.



This week's theme...GAMES

(the pictures correspond with the descriptions below...left to right and top to bottom)

1. Frank-o ready to serve-it-up in a tennis match about a year ago with a racquet at least three times too big.



2. Buck-a-roo, two Christmases ago, playing with his "Boppers" given to him by Mam, my MIL. I'm still not sure, to this day, how the "Boppers" got holes in them and would no longer hold air {hee!hee!}.



3. A picture of the scoreboard during the final game at LSU's Alex Box Stadium. LSU's baseball team begins their 2009 season in less than a month in a brand-spanking new stadium and ranked #1.


4. Buck-a-roo uncooperatively laying in the middle of the field amidst a tantrum during his very first t-ball practice last summer. Needless to say, we didn't finish the season and we will try again this year, being a year older.



5. Buck-a-roo and Frank-o playing play-doh together...that's a game, right?



6. This is a frequently played game in our house...we call it "Piggy-pile Daddy"!!



7. Buck-a-roo opening his CandyLand Christmas gift given to him by his sweet friend, Jack. We have played, oh at least, 35 times since Christmas, less than one month ago.



8. Buck-a-roo and Frank-o playing an arcade game at a local pizza place. They love to go their for pizza and games regularly. Matter of fact, Buck-a-roo just recently questioned if we could go again soon; that kid forgets NOTHING.



9. Daddy Buck and I tailgating at this past football season's much anticipated LSU-Alabama SEC match-up. It was a great day of tailgating and a terrific football game, despite the fact that our LSU Tigers lost in overtime :(





This theme was somewhat difficult for me because my boys are still yet a little young for much organized board game play. So, I incorporated several different "plays" on the topic of GAMES.
