Granny went home to be with the Lord



I sure did love my little Granny.  When I was a little girl, she use to "let" me dust for her.  I loved dusting her little coke bottle collection with LOTS of pledge spray.  She always had little bottles of coke on hand as well as little bowls of jello with cool whip.  I learned so much from her and I am thankful that in the last few years since momma died, that I was able to help Porgy care for her.  She died just a little over a week before her 91st birthday.

I love you Granny, and I miss you.

Our 20th Wedding Anniversary


We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast called Peaceful Oaks, just outside of Jackson Tennessee





Wedding Cake Cupcakes - my favorite

we saw a whole field of daffodils while out walking




You can't really tell it from the picture, but these are tiny miniature daffodils.  Dwayne bought these for me to remind me of our anniversary weekend.  He CAN be romantic if he needs to be.  I love him so much.

Drowsy Chaperone - starring Austin Conlee as "Man in Chair"


He did such a great job as this character.

He was hilarious, as always.

the goofiest song that he loved to sing "Monkey, Monkey, Monkey" with Emily Collins

The bow......It was a very proud moment for me.

Austin and Jessie.....his best friend all through high school.

Emily, Austin, Jessie and Matt

The curtain call......thanking Leza Collins for playing and leading music.

Sarah took Noah to ride horses


Sarah went out to my co-worker, Rachel's, farm and rode a horse for the first time since getting thrown off of a horse as a young teenager.  She was very scared, but loved it.

She let Noah ride a little pony.  He loved it as well.  I think he will be a natural rider.  Hunter was so impressed with the big animals.  I am thankful that their mom spends time with them to do things that they might not otherwise get to do.

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night

 Noah loved riding his Big Wheel tricycle.
 Annabeth got an iPod touch and a Turquoise Zebra print case for it.  Not exactly an iPhone, but close enough for her.
 Sarah and Austin looked like Twinkies in their Pea Coats.
Hunter was riding his Mickey Mouse Fire Truck

That ONE picture with Santa

This is the picture that I am sure Noah will keep for ever to show to all of Hunter's potential girlfriends.

"Oh What A Night"

To say that I am obsessed with Jersey Boys is an understatement.  We went three times during their run here at the Orpheum Theater.
