the latest news on the case of Casey Anthony

I have been following the search for Caylee Anthony since the beginning, and was heartbroken to find out that the worst had happened...I can't even imagine a mother doing what was done to that beautiful little girl...Casey Anthony is a heartless, soulness monster...I hope that justice will be served for what she has done. With that said, here is the latest article on the case against her.

Experts Establish June Time Frame Of Death

ORLANDO, Fla. — Sources close to the Casey Anthony case told Local 6 News on Thursday that they have overwhelming evidence showing that she intentionally killed her young daughter, Caylee, and was solely responsible for the toddler’s death.

Anthony, 22, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in her daughter’s death. Caylee was 2 years old when she was reported missing in mid-July, a month after she had last been seen. Human remains discovered last month in a wooded area near Caylee’s grandparents’ home were identified as the missing girl.Sources also said investigators have now established a time frame of death that dates back to June, according to reports returned by forensic botanists and entomologists brought in to anaylize the terrain and insect growth where Caylee’s remains were found. Sources said plants were growing through the skeleton and bug evidence was also recovered, both of which helped scientists reach their conclusion.Orange County sheriff’s detectives believe Anthony took actions that led to her daughter’s death June 16, which corresponds to the June time frame of death, Local 6 News reported.Investigators believe Anthony dumped Caylee’s body around June 18 in the wooded area where the remains were found, sources said.According to test results conducted on the trunk of Anthony’s car by the Oakridge National Laboratory, the girl’s body spent at least two days there before it was dumped, sources said.A hair which showed signs of decomposition was also found in the trunk. Sources said the hair matches hair taken from Caylee’s remains.Sources said the time frame coupled with other evidence — duct tape found over the mouth of Caylee’s skull, high levels of chloroform detected in the trunk and cell phone pings from Anthony’s phone that place her near the crime scene in mid-June — points only to Anthony as the killer.Sources said although a cause of Caylee’s death may never be known, Anthony will be convicted based on extrememly strong evidence.Investigators who initially thought that Caylee’s death could have been an accident have changed their minds, sources said.Anthony on Thursday was required by a judge to attend a hearing that centered around autopsy photos of Caylee. It was the first time Anthony had been seen in months.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

Facebook is killing my BLOG!

I have been severely neglecting my blog lately...I can blame most of it on the craziness of the holidays, my mother-in-law visiting, hubby on vacation, work for Luca, the twins 1st birthday, and my husbands grandfather passing away, but the real blame must go to FACEBOOK! The little time and energy that I have had to go online lately goes to Facebook...I think it is because I can easily interact with friends and family on there, but I am thinking of going on hiatus from it, or deleting it all together. I love my blog, and I really enjoy blogging about this, that, and everything else, I just need a kick in the pants I guess. Thank god for Thursday Thunks to keep the ball rolling in here...slowly but surely. I have so much to blog about and lots to share, so my new year's resolution...as much as I hate to make one, is to get back to my blogging!!!!

Thanks to all of you for hanging in there with me! Please stay tuned ...

xoxo

Thursday Thunks

1. Are you a celebrity news junkie? TOTALLY...I have always been interested in the gossip, and I buy In Touch every week....partly for the crosswords, but I love my celebrity gossip! I also watch TMZ, they really show you the true colors of some of the celebs out there. The funny thing is, if I was actually a celeb, I'd be the person cussing at them and flicking them off,lol
2. Have you or anyone in your family ever had braces? yes, just me!
3. Name 4 things in your garage that you don't think anyone else has in theirs. 4 things? wow, I can't even think of one...we have a very boring garage...and we even keep our car in it... maybe that will be my 1 thing....I don't know many people who actually put their cars in their garages,lol
4. Do you order Girl Scout cookies? I used to get the thin mints, and those graham cracker things with chocolate coating on the bottom, YUM! Oh, and the shortbread ones are yummy too...damn, now I want some cookies :(
5. If you have a cat or a dog, what brand of dog/cat food do you feed them? We give Purina...I think? I don't know, but he loves it!
6. When you cook, do you use measuring cups/spoons? Measuring cups! I have tried just winging it, and that's never a good thing...now I need to do everything EXACT!

11. When you put silverware in the dishwasher or in the drainer to dry, do you put the handles up or down? Interesting question! I only put the sharp knives facing down
12. Video Games for kids - good or not? I think that if they are limited to maybe a half hour or an hour a day, if they have their school work done...but no tv if they play video games! They'd have to choose which activity they'd rather do. I'd prefer they use their imaginations though and draw or paint, or even make up a play or something!
13. Share a website with us. http://sweetestdaydream.blogspot.com ...a cool new blog that I have just stumbled upon on Thursday Thunks! She is just getting started like me, but she seems very cool, and her blog is inspiring me to use more color on mine!

Almost a year....

I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by! The twins will be a year old in just a couple of weeks... it seems like just yesterday that I was pregnant with them. I thought I would post some of my favorite photos of them over the past year...there are so many! Here is some of my fave from the first few months....

This photo is my favorite of them together at the hospital! I love Bella's smile here, even if it wasn't a real one, lol. I don't know if you can see Brayden's name tag, but when he was born, his name was Devon. We saved that tag and his hospital bracelet for him for when he is older. We changed his name to Brayden the day we left the hospital, talk about confusing! I have since been "introduced" to a special little girl named Devon, it has so much more meaning to me now when I hear the name, because I think of her.


This is hands down, my all time favorite baby pic of Bella. This was also the day they were born...she looks totally exhausted, but so adorable! I am planning on editing this pic and framing it for her room once we move.

This is my handsome little dude... even though he looks like an old man here, I could already tell he was going to be a heartbreaker.... or maybe I am just partial? :)







I miss the days of when they could sleep together, it was always so cute!


This one is Brayden and Oma, he has been very attached to her since the first time she held him...I am almost jealous!



Bella all bundled up before getting strapped in... that winter in Maine was brutal! brrrrr

Their first Valentine's day.... and Brady power!


Some early male bonding



First trip to Chinatown in Boston! Oma was with us too, so much fun!


A very chunky Bella, and Brayden threatening to beat up the bullies...or maybe he just likes waving his fist :)


Twins 1st Easter...we went to a friends house for dinner and she thought it would be cute to put them in the easter basket. They actually kinda liked it despite the looks on their faces,lol

I will post more when I get some free time!!!

"This year, the economy in its current state has really hurt a lot of people. So this week’s meme is about spreading holiday cheer on a budget!" ~ from Friday Fun

1. Did you do the so fun Black Friday shopping? No, but we did do some online shopping!Did you get any really good deals? Yes, I think so! And, it is so much easier then fighting the crowds, that's for sure!
2. Does your family do gifts for everyone or do you draw names? We have been meaning to do the name drawing thing, but we all live in different parts of the states now! I wonder if there is a virtual way of doing it? hmmmmm
3. About how many people do you have to gift this year? Too many! haha (j/k!)

4. How about that big holiday meal? We don't know what we are doing for a holiday meal yet, but it is just going to be me, Dave, Oma, and the twins this year...so whatever we have, it won't be too big or pricey.
5. What are your top 5 tips for saving money this year on gifts? Well, my advice is a little bit late...because I did most of my Christmas shopping this summer! If you see something on sale that you think someone would like for Christmas, grab it, even if it is only May or June :) They also tend to jack up the prices right before the holidays too, so shop early...that's my advice! That is my top 1 tip, I got nothing else, sorry!
