A Weekend in Hooterville

Well, we had a enjoyable weekend, for the most part (I was in a bad mood). Saturday we went to look at a house for Lindsey & Jason, it reminded me so much of my Mamaw & Papaw's house down in New Albany. It was kind of sad. Later that evening the guys watched Spider Man 2 & shelled some peas. Tom started his own blog, but it really needs some work. So, give us a week or two (maybe more) & we'll (I'll) have it lookin' good!
On another note, I went to my aunt's house yesterday to pick up some things & I watched one of my cousin's music videos. Blake, is the next Spielberg (Sp?), says my aunt. He is doing weddings, funerals, music videos, etc. His work is AMAZING!! I cannot believe how professional it looks. Here's what I'm getting at: one of his music videos, he made for German class, somehow got downloaded to Youtube.com. Here's the link-watch it- I Love it!! Way to go, Blake!!

Savannah's Graduation

Well, my baby sister is now a high school graduate. I am so proud of her! She graduated in 3 years!! Way to go, sis! This was the best graduation I have ever been to. There were no more than 20 - 30 graduates & the whole thing lasted 15 mins-I'm not kidding. PLUS, they had cake! It took me longer to get dressed for work than the length of this graduation.
When I saw Savannah walk down the aisle in her cap & gown I lost it! I think I was more emotional than my mom, if you can believe that. I remember when Savannah took her first step and now she's 18 & ready for college. MAN, how time flies!
Well, this has been a busy week...as you can tell by my many posts! Check out my photo album for more Graduation pictures... Way to go, Jo! We are all so very proud of you! I love you!!

Green Acres

Well, I went to ol' Ma & Pa's house last night. We sat out on the patio shellin' peas Pa had grown in his garden.
On a serious note, I have figured out my family is the new generation of Green Acres. We grew up in G'town (New York) and moved to the country (Hooterville). Instead of going shopping, watching TV, playing, etc. We (actually Dad) are now coming home from work to clean-out the garden, pick the vegetables & fruit that are ripe and then sitting down before and after meals (which usually come from the garden, except for the meat) and shellin' peas, beans, etc. I think it's a hoot! I LOVE IT!! This is something my dad has always wanted & I think it's great that he has achieved his goal. Well, I just wanted to share with y'all the latest with my family. Y'all come back now, ya hear! (I know that's from the Beverly Hillbillies-sp?)

All Alone

Well I made it through my first night at our new house without Tom. I had to wait until I was extremely tired before I could go to bed. I had all my outside lights on so my house was nice & lit. I will be so glad once Tom is back at home... 3 more days to go! I hate it when he's gone, but atleast it was only for 5 days and not a year! Please pray for me while Tom is away... I get so nervous at night. Also, pray that Tom has a safe trip on Friday. Have a good week everyone!

Bridal Shower

Yesterday I threw Lindsey a bridal shower. We had a great time & a wonderful turn out. We had neighbor's come from our first neighborhood we lived in, we hadn't seen them in a year or so. It was nice seeing everyone & just spending time together. Lindsey & Jason got 2 cookware sets, a steak knife set, a cutting knife set, candles and candle holders, ducky decor` for Hailey's bathroom, and other odds and ends for the kitchen. So, if you're going to get them a gift update your copy of the Target gift registry. Below are a few pictures from the shower.

Happy Birthday Naomi!

My friend, Marjorie, had her baby girl, Naomi Lynn Isabella Mason, today at 4:18am. She weighed in at 6lbs. 11oz. I cannot wait to see her! Marjorie said she and Naomi are doing great. Tom & I are going to go visit this precious little angel in about 2 weeks...I'm so excited! Just wanted to update everyone with the latest news. Welcome to the world Little Naomi!

A Relaxing Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend. Saturday was Mom's Birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! We spent pretty much all day at the pool and then had a seafood dinner at Mom & Dad's compliments of Dad. He's such a good cook! Tom & Jason went to play 9 holes of golf on Saturday & tied. I'm so glad they are already doing the brother-in-law bonding. Twinkles (Aunt Sandy) was in town all weekend & we enjoyed floating in the pool & soaking up all the sun. I think we've come to the conclusion that our skin isn't going to get any darker, but then again we could be wrong... I would love to be wrong. Well, now it's Monday & I'm at work...bummer! I guess I better get some things accomplished today. Have a good week!






Hailey swimming by herself!









Lindsey & her frog, Fred gettin' some sun. This frog was so funny. He stayed by the pool the whole time Lindsey was there & didn't leave until we all went in for the night. He would soak up the sun & then when he'd get hot he'd jump in the water. I LOVE this frog!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th, except for Hailey's trip to the ER. She's fine... just fell off her little picnic table & smacked her head on the concrete. We just wanted to make sure there was no internal bleeding or anything. PRAISE THE LORD SHE IS FINE!!
We spent ALL day at Mom & Dad's with a group of people from work and Sandy & Chance came in town. We had a BLAST!! We played volleyball for the most part, swam, ate, played horseshoes and just had a wonderful time. I am so glad the ran held out till last night til we were towards the end of our firework show Jason put on for us!
I hope everyone had a wonderful & blessed 4th of July.

What a Weekend

Me with a Face Mask & Sandy looking Goofy while we played a game of Phase 10 with Lindsey, Jason & Tom. PHASE 10 IS THE BOMB!! I know we look like crap, but hey, we spent ALL day in the HOT SUN!


I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I did, for the most part. On Saturday, Aunt Sandy & I took a yoga class...bikramyoga, ever heard of it? Well, this is a type of yoga you do in a room headed to 105 degrees. Let's just say after that hour & a half in a room heated to 105 degrees, I was so dehydrated that I would barely walk & I thought I was going to puke everywhere! Needless to say, I won't take that type of yoga again. Then, I spent the rest of the sunny part of Saturday in the pool working on my tan. Sunday, the good people, Tom & I are included in that, went to church & then I spent ALL of Sunday in the pool. We cannot wait til tomorrow!! My parents are having like 30+ people over for the 4th. We're floating in the pool, playing volleyball & some other games Dad has & just enjoying all the good food. Tom, Jason & I are going to buy fireworks this afternoon, so we can have our own lovely show.
Get this, our neighbors behind us at 10pm last night were doing fireworks! I was like HELLO! Some of us have to get up and go to work in the morning. Luckily, it didn't last long.
Happy a Happy 4th, Everyone!!!
