Monday was Chris’s 30th birthday. I had wanted to plan a big birthday dinner with both sides of the fam for Saturday night and then go to our house for cake afterwards. Well, my party pooper hubby wasn’t as fond of that idea as I was, so I figured I would attempt to do it…

My Handy Hubby Strikes Again…
I thought I would share some pics of one of Chris’s latest projects…. a sidewalk to our front door. We purchased stepping stones several weeks ago, but he wasn’t happy with how they turned out, merely lying in the ground, so he opted for plan B. He was able to get it done in two…
Fabulous Fourth Fun
The fourth of July is such a fun time with family, food and fireworks!!! We got a double dose of the Fourth Fun with both sides of the Fam this year. We spent Tuesday night with my parents and saw the Shelby Fireworks, and then spent the fourth at Chris’s parents with the same chain…
As if Saturday wasn’t exciting enough…
Saturday evening after our big adventures, we decided to grill some brats with the crowd on the new grill. It was pretty late by the time we ate, and we were all pretty exhausted. Sam and David paid the big bucks for the professional video, so we had fun watching that and our amateur footage…
Back on the Ground….Safe and Sound!
Saturday was quite the day for us. We drove about an hour to the illustrious redneck town, otherwise known as Chester, SC. Their appointment was for 2 pm, and we arrived around 2:15 or so. After waiting around a bit in the blistering heat and watching the training video, we were informed that we would…
Off We Go… Into the Wild Blue Yonder…
My daredevil husband strikes again. He is trying to give me a heart attack, I know. Tomorrow, my own dear husband, whom I love with all my heart, is jumping out of an airplane. I do not understand his love for all things dangerous. It has been a source of contention for us in the…
Adieu Ryan…. :(
Bette Anne and Ryan headed off to the airport last night to say their final goodbyes. Eli and Grandma hung out at our house in the meantime. He should be able to come home in January or February….
A Nice Surprise
Everything is always crazy exciting in my sis’s life, so it was to be expected that Ryan’s send off to Iraq would not be business as usual. On Sunday, Haylee told Uncle Ryan that it was not awesome that he had to leave. She asked him too why he had to go fight people. I…
Gruesome Grilling
Friday evening was a big night. It was supposed to be, that is.We had big plans to grill out and watch Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man’s Chest. Sam thinks it’s a crime that Chris and I hadn’t watched any of the Pirates series, so we set out to educate ourselves and catch up with…
Good News on the Home Front…
Haylee slept fine through the night and had no fever when she woke up this morning. Yippee! I am cautiously optimistic that this rules out strep since the fever went away. I am so glad she is feeling better. Life is always crazy with a sick little one. I read this morning in Psalms. I’m…
