An Island for Christmas

Santa was good to me this year, apparently I was a good girl. For Christmas I am getting a custom built island for the kitchen. This is defiantly going to be the kitchen of my dreams. Here are a few pictures of the progress that was made this weekend. Keep checking back for updates.

New Kitchen Floor!!

Before and after pictures of my new kitchen floor. BIG thanks to Ron, his dad, and Mark(his brother) who helped~yall did a GREAT job!!!!!!!! I can't wait to mop it!

Thanksgiving 2008

Here are some of the pictures from Thanksgiving this past year. Jeremy, Christy, and Yogi came for a visit. We had fun and for some of us too much fun.
For those who know about the "4-wheeler" story, enjoy the pictures of the mess. Anyone who wants to buy a 4-wheeler let us know.

Christmas Party 2008

Family time

Day after Thanksgiving and ALLLOOOOTTTTT of Family time .

Family Pictures

I wanted to take pictures this year of us and our dogs since they are our children. Talk about a nightmare! Ron warned me that is wouldn't work but, of course I don't listen very well. They are scared of my new camera and would not sit still!!!!! Finally we decided to just take a picture of the two of us ,.......guess who decides to join???? Missie, she can't stand to be left out.
Oh well maybe I can photo shop them in.

6 Years & Many More

Last weekend Ron and I celebrated 6 years together! I still can't believe we have been married that long. It seems like it was just yesterday when he ran into my butt as I was putting beer in Sam and Leslee's fridge. Who knew that it would turn into this!!!!

Fall on the Lake

We spent Saturday on Lake Mitchell with Johnathan and Charlie. The day was fun getting to hang out and catch up. We tried to fish but, had one bite the whole day. Oh well like Ron says " a bad day fishing is always better than a good day at work"! And I say "especially if you have good company with you"!!!!

Happy Birthday Rhonda

While I was in Mobile a couple of weeks ago most of the family got together and celebrated Aunt Rhonda's birthday.
Wow! What an adventure when the we all get together.

Happy Birthday Rhonda

Christopher is getting older!!!

So with the lack of my blog working I haven't been able to post allot of events.

Christopher, a.k.a. pher-pher is now 14 years old!!!!!!! Wow, that right there makes me feel really old.
Happy Birthday pher-pher!!!

Love your big sis

Brandon Reid~ We Will Miss You~

We lost a good friend on September 16th, Brandon Reid. Brandon was killed in a head on collision while driving to work. Please pray for Brandon's wife and two children that he left behind.
This was a total shock to us all and a wake up call. Remember to always tell your love ones how much that you love them and never hold grudges. Life is way way to short to not live ever day as happy and full as you can.


We will miss you Brandon~~~ but one day we will see you again.

Coming Home

Jeremy will be home from Iraq this Sunday!!!! We are all very excited that he will be home from his 18 month tour over there.

Happy Belated Birthday TO.....

Abbie












Karlie












We had a great time at your birthday! Love you both!

I think Ron may have had toooooo much fun. His new shades are ROCKIN!

Spam? Me?

There has been a serious lack of blogging for me. For SOME STRANGE REASON my account was frozen because blogspot thought is was a spam blog. It has taken forever to get this straight. how weird!!!!!

A little water is always good!

So we have a boat finally after much looking and browsing around. So far we have only ventured to Lake Mitchell. Captain Ron is still in training!

Concert Time

In June we went to the Toby Keith concert with Sam and Leslee. It was a very exciting concert and we had a blast! But, I do have to say it takes longer to recover from long nights like that now.

Ozan Winery

Last Saturday Ron surprised with a date. He had planned the whole thing by himself! We went to Ozan Vineyards in Calera, Al. Yes, can you believe that there is a vineyard in Alabama? There are actually a few vineyards in Alabama. This one had eight different wines that where made there. There is a peach wine that is made with the peaches from Chilton County, where we live in it. This was Ron's favorite and the only one he drank. It was a fun day we had a box lunch there and took a train ride. After it was all over we left with a FEW bottles of wine to carry home with us if you can believe it or not!
If anyone is ever near Calera, AL and wants to visit this vineyard I would highly recommend it.

Lack of Blogging

Wow, I can't believe that the last blog I posted was in May. Things are so busy with us lately that I barely have time to reply to emails. I have know been at my new job for a little over 2 months and I still love it. Even though I am only home 1/2 of the week. Most of my travels will be in Al and the panhandle of FL. That is my territory, and what a great one it is.
Ron and the pups are getting us to the change. Missie has ran off twice and returned both times. I think she was rebelling against the change around here. Hopefully, she'll stay around here and not run away again!

New Car!

Here are the pictures of my new car. I love it!!!
