My Sweet Family

Kapriel's 11th birthday -- so hard to believe.  Its such a sweet life to have 3 precious grandkids & 3 precious kids.  Love being so blessed!

NEW RING

Imagine our disappointment when we realized that our 25th wedding anniversary reception was going to have to be cancelled due to the weather and road conditions..... 125 invitations had been sent out. I was pretty sad by it but we received phone calls, cards and etc... from our friends and loved ones letting us know they were thinking about us. 3 friends even came out of Madison county braving the roads to get here. Our hearts were touched.

This is the ring that my dear hubby - whom I still think of as "the man of my dreams" 25 years later came me for our 25th wedding anniversary! Needless to say I totally LOVE IT!!

Although the day didn't go as planned we are still so thankful that we were able to spend it together!

"SNOW" much f-u-n!!!

This year for Christmas we bought Kapriel a digital camera -- she LOVES it! It has alot of built in frames in it as well as games... only problem is we have to be careful.....she is always clicking away! Glad she is so happy with gift!

25th coming UP

Okay, So this photo is sideways and I am not real computer savy --- please turn your head to view it...sorry! February 6th, 2011 will be our 25th wedding anniversary - I don't have to tell you how impossible that seems. We had our photo taken for our invitations. We have decided to have our get together at our house - cause its what says the most about us! We have 100 on our list so far to invite --- we have been blessed with so many precious family and friends! I am having a blast planning it....... my main concern is the weather --- I just pray it doesn't snow and/or ice.. It will be on Sunday 2/6/11 from 2-4p! On Tuesday we will leave for a 4 day stay in Hot Springs.... So excited! :)

Just Me

Today I spent alot of time thinking about my momma. With Christmas only a few days away my mind keeps going back to when I was a child and how our holidays were always so filled with family and with love. March will be 2 years since she went to Heaven but I still find myself going to the phone to call her and share something with her. Daddy still has a difficult time ... I remind him as I remind myself that momma wouldn't come back to earth even if she could - she is happy and only has goodness where she is ..... only for selfish reasons do we wish it. It makes me feel better to know that now she can take full breaths, she has no pain nor suffering, no more chemo, radiation, being stuck with needles. These thoughts are what gets me thru each day.

Let the Summer Fun Begin

Pools Open - Time for summer
Kyla & Kapriel having some summer fun!!

Tana going off the slide.....

We love having a pool in our backyard....it provides hours & hours of entertainment. Not to mention after mowing the lawn for 2 hours how wonderful it is to go cool off!

Cousins - BFF

Chance & Damon

are 4 months apart... Chance born in July & Damon in November. These boys have been more like "brothers" than cousins. Before they hit the teen years they practically were together 24/7 in the summer & on the weekends... Riding 4-wheelers, fishing, playing games etc... As with anything as they get older they have less time to hang out and just enjoy life. When they do get to spend time together it is greatly enjoyed... Cousins but also BFF's...
