New family addition

Smokey is our newest addition to the family! He is a Tennessee Walking horse that Paul bought from a friend. He is a beautiful horse and knows it. As I was taking his picture, he pranced and high-stepped in front of the camera! He is gentle and likes to be rubbed between his ears. Paul is going to have so much fun riding him!

Amanda turns 30!

Do you need help blowing out 30 candles, Amanda?? Looks like Rodney had to lend some air! My sister-in-law celebrated her 30th birthday yesterday with friends and family. What a great surprise! We enjoyed celebrating at Mariah's and the cake was delicious, even though there was a little wax from ALL those candles! Happy 30th birthday!

Spring Break 2009

For spring break this year, Paul and I spent a few days in Pigeon Forge with his great aunt and uncle. They have a motor home and invited us. We had fun talking, souveniring, and, of course, eating out! However, the weather was quite unpredictable! One day it was in the 70's and the next it snowed!! Here are a couple of pictures from the trip.

Killer Cat

Shelby Girl

This is my cat, Shelby. Yes, she has the same name as the grandbaby! So now we call her Shelby Girl. As you can see she loves to sleep, especially right after she eats. I've never really liked cats, but one day she showed up at my doorstep and we've had her ever since. She is so sweet!

Yard work

Grandaddy and Blake enjoyed mowing this afternoon. I babysat the kids and Paul helped by letting Blake get his first mowing experience! He loved helping his grandaddy steer the mower. I'm sure Paul is looking forward to the day Blake can do this on his own!

My Mother

I enjoyed the day with my mother, Loretta. She is such a wonderful mother and granmother. Growing up, she (and my father) always made our home the one everyone wanted to be at! Our front yard always had a ball diamond worn out in it, and she never complained...well not that often! She was and still is involved in everything we do. She always encourages us to be the best we can be...I am forever grateful! But the trait that I love most about my mother is her Christian life! Thank you Mama!! I love you and always will!!

A day with Mimi

Blake and Shelby spent the day at my house today. Natalie had had oral surgery and needed some rest. After rain in the morning, it turned out to be quite nice! We got to blow bubbles and ride on the tricycle. There's always loads of fun at Mimi's house!!

My Guys!

My two little men! This is my grandson Blake...he loves sticking his tongue out! He is one of the joys of our lives! His brother, Shelby is the other! This is his pic at a few days old. Blake will be 2 on June, 2 and Shelby will be 3 months May 17th.

Welcome!

I am excited about sharing snippets of my life with you! This is a picture of my husband Paul and I in Gulf Shores, Alabama, one of our favorite vacationing spots! Come, follow along!
