Big Daddy's Little Buddy

I kept Owen today for a few hours while Christi had a doctors appointment. Michael has so many pairs of running shoes that he has a special rack by the side door where they all get parked. I looked around for Owen's shoes and found that he had parked them right where he felt they belonged! What a good boy!

Boo at the Zoo

Monday night the fam went to Boo at the Zoo. It was a lot of fun!

The weather was perfect. Just right for a light jacket.

We might just have to make it a tradition!

Kenny's little family

Owen thought the field mouse was so funny!

The Frog Princess and Belle

Hunter, Peyton, Hagin and Olivia climbed the rock wall.

They liked it so much that they did it twice!

They all rode the train

Jackson, Maizeigh and Owen got an extra ride on the carousel

The snake skins were really cool

Silly grandchildren!!

The whole gang.

Minus Joe and Chelsea :(

Tap Dogs

Thursday night we went to the first of the Broadway Series at the Koger Center. It was a show called "Tap Dogs". It was 6 guys, just average looking guys, with average looking clothes -- jeans, t-shirts, shorts, boots -- tap dancing! Weird, huh?? They did some pretty unique moves, tapped on steel, wood, sound machines and once even used grinders on steel pipe for affects! It was quite entertaining! Of course, dinner at California Dreamin' before the show was great, too! I can hardly wait for January - they are presenting "The Wizard of Oz"! Cool!

Happy Birthday My Friend

Today is one of my bestest friends birthday. As Jeanne Robertson says, there are friends and there are best friends and then there are bestest friends! She is working tonight instead of celebrating. But that's Libbi - a wonderful, dedicated nurse! I have never known another person who can go for hours on end with no sleep and still be there for anyone who needs her. Just amazing! That's you, Libbi! Amazing!!

I love you girlfriend!

This Month Is Such A Special One, It's Birthday Time For You

Wednesday was Christi's 29th Birthday! My, my, how time flies!! I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. I was SO glad it was a girl!! And she was SO beautiful and she still is! Christi is my little jack of all trades. She can do pretty much anything she puts her mind to. She can sing, dance, cook, sew, decorate, take fabulous photos, and the list goes on and on! She is always so supportive of her family. We can always count on Christi to be where ever we are taking pictures! She has always been very sensitive. If you just said her name wrong she would start to cry! (Hum, have you noticed Owen does the same thing? Must be hereditary!)

I LOVE my Christi Girl!

That little red nose, just like Owen.

How sweet is that?!

She always was a little fireball. She made a really good Pippi Longstocking! She didn't even have to "act" much!

"Christina Stinkerina Ballerina"

Yep, that was her nickname!

I think she wore braces for like 10 years!!

Wasn't she a cutie as Jessie at Disneyworld?

How fun is that?!

I couldn't find any high school pictures (she probably wouldn't like me posting them anyways!)

This was after college.

Then came Tim and Owen!!

This is probably my all time favorite picture of Christi. Isn't she absolutely gorgeous?!! Everyone says she looks just like me.....I only dream I could look half that good!

Happy Birthday sweetheart!

I am so thankful that you came to our family!

We love you so much!

Tour de Camden

This morning Michael, Mary Beth and I took our bikes to Camden for the Tour de Camden. Michael rode the 50 mile course while Mary Beth and I rode the 12 + miles. After a misguided start (that's a story for another day), Mary Beth and I enjoyed the ride all by ourselves through a scenic tour of Camden. We saw some incredible houses, talked alot and had a fabulous ride!

Mary Beth, Michael and Me

Mary Beth and I passed this school and thought Jackson would think it was a hoot!! I'm glad I had my camera in my pouch.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN

October 10 was Kevin's birthday. I couldn't ask for a better husband for Mary Beth and father to my two grandchildren. I am so thankful that our prayers were answered and Kevin joined our family almost six years ago. He has truly been a blessing!

Happy Birthday Kevin!

We love you very much!!
