Another Birthday!

Apr 27th, 2009 by mary

Saturday was my brother, Ray’s, birthday!  Of course he celebrated in Tuscaloosa by going to tons of Alabama baseball games and eating at Dreamland BBQ.  That’s no surprise that that’s how he chose to celebrate!  I honestly have not met too many people that are bigger Alabama fans than Ray!
Ray turned the BIG 3-0 and [...]

A Little Catch Up

Apr 25th, 2009 by mary

I caught John Michael trying to pull himself up from under the high chair!  He eventually pulled up but couldn’t really stand up under it!

Oh the joys of pulling up, cruising around, and crawling wherever you want! 
I meant to post this next picture a while back, but of course, I forgot.  I thought it was [...]

Bowl-A-Rama

Apr 22nd, 2009 by mary

Eh, the car is in the shop and lucky us, the vin # is NOT included in the recall even though it’s doing exactly what the recalled cars are doing.  It’s looking like we’ll be kissing our sweet emergency fund good-bye right in time to go to Disney World.  As is life!
Last week was Parent’s [...]

Disney and a Garge Sale

Apr 20th, 2009 by mary

What do Disney and a garage sale have in common, you may ask?  Well, if you’re us you have a fantastic garage sale in which to make money to take to Disney so that you can eat while you’re there! 
To make a long story short, we were thinking about doing Disney in the Fall with [...]

Bump It or Lose It

Apr 16th, 2009 by mary

I can no longer keep quite!  I hide a secret shame of really, really wanting to order an item from an infomercial.  It’s for my hair and I have no doubt it will make it look totally fabulous.
The only problem is that I laughed so hard the first time I saw it that I almost [...]

Happy Happy Birthday!

Apr 16th, 2009 by mary

Happy, Happy Birthday to my best friend, Joan!  Yesterday was her birthday so now she’s all old like me!
Joan and I lived down the street from one another growing up and went to school together all throughout elementary, middle, and high school and we even roomed together our freshman year in college.  She got used to my sleep walking [...]

Easter, Part Two

Apr 13th, 2009 by mary

It still feels weird to us to not be with our families on Easter Sunday.  That’s just one weird part about living so far away from family; it just seems odd to not go over to someone’s house after church to eat!  Since it was just the three of us we opened JM’s presents that the Easter [...]

A Hunting We Will Go

Apr 13th, 2009 by mary

Because we have so many Easter pictures, I thought I would divide up my Easter post into a few different posts! 
I honestly never know how tiresome getting Easter stuff together could be…and I didn’t even decorate or anything!  Saturday morning we headed to Fayetteville to get JM’s first birthday cake ordered.  It’s going to be [...]

The Kid Stays in the Picture

Apr 10th, 2009 by mary

Before John Michael started crawling around everywhere I could take as many pictures as I wanted.  He would sit in one place and my pictures usually turned out pretty good.
Well, now it’s a different story!  The kid does not stay in the picture so well.  Most of our recent pictures end up looking like this:

It’s [...]

A little bit o everything

Apr 8th, 2009 by mary

Guess who we ran into a Gymboree?!  Wells!  Wells is the star of his very own blog and a church nursery friend!  He is ever so smiley (all the time!) and so cute!  Here is mine and Kacy’s best attempt to get them to sit together!

And then they decided they had had enough!

See ya

Speaking of [...]
