First Day of School

3rd and 8th grade! Wow, I can't believe our kids are growing up so fast.

And also I added a slide show of the new bathroom above. We love it! It looks even better in person. We all want to stay in there all the time! Too funny! Ok, well ya'll have an awesome night. I love ya'll bunches!

Much Neglect!

I have so neglected this blog~FOR REAL! But I have to say that I've had a good excuse or should I say excuse-ES. We've had Bible School going on, one of the bathrooms in our house being completely torn out and re done, back to school shopping,cheer pictures and more cheer pictures, work, 500 million trips back and forth to lowes and home depot plus another trip BACK again tomorrow, and I haven't even mentioned that my house is COMPLETELY upside down! It's about to make me have a nervous breakdown. Now I'm not a neat freak like my Kyle is, but this is for real about to get to me. I guess he has rubbed off on me more than I realized. I'm so ready for this bathroom to be finished and my house back together and everything in it's "place". We are goin to Lake Burton, near Helen GA next week, and hopefully when we get back, it will all be DONE. I have before pictures that I will post with my after pictures when we get done. I hope this bathroom turns out like I have it pictured in my head....if it doesn't, I'm going to be really disapointed. This bathroom project got real UN fun, real quick! It is very frustrating when you have this vision in your head of how you want it all to look and either your contractor is constantly telling you "that won't work" or your husband is constantly telling you "that ain't gonna look good". And in the end, it ends up like YOU wanted it in the first place! AGH!!!! All that frutstrtion for nothing! Don't get me wrong...I'm really, really grateful and looking forward to it being done and all new, but DURN! This has really gotten on my last dang nerve! Ok, well, I'm off to bed. I will have alot to post in the next few days/weeks, so stay tuned and check back. I will try and do better with my posts and keep ya'll up to date on our crazy busy lives. I love ya'll!

Love,
Auntie Jenn

Cheer Camp 2010

Apollo

Today was a very sad day for us. Apollo, one of our dogs died today. When we got up this morning to let him and Koda out, he was very lathargic and couldn't walk. We loaded him up and took him to the vet and they told us that the found a spot of cancer on his spleen and it was bleeding out into his stomach. Sadly Kyle had to make the decision to put him to sleep. It was hard, but Apollo was suffering and it was the right thing to do. He was a good dog and had a really funny personality. We will miss him a bunch! We love you "pookey"!

Beach Pictures 2010

I've posted a few pictures from our beach trip. I have more, and hopefully will be able to put them in a slide show soon. I hope everybody had a great week and I love ya'll bunches!!

Vacation 2010

No Oil here yet!!! I know that the media is saying that it's all over the beaches here in Gulf Shores, but we haven't seen any YET! Hopefully we won't. There must be some scattered in different places on the beach and we were tore up before we got here thinking that it would be here, but none so far. We have 3 more days so maybe it will stay away until we leave. Here is one of the family pictures that we've taken so far. Ya'll know how I am about our family beach pictures....the ones we've made so far have turned out pretty good. Go Karts & putt putt last night-it was so much fun!!! Junk stores the night before-love em!!!! Water park tomorrow!!! Woo Hoo!! I think I'm more excited than the kids about it! I can't wait!!! More later. Love ya'll loads.

Valley BBQ Competition- HickTown BBQ Competition Team

It was so hot!!! Oh my gosh!!! A few people actually fell out from the heat. It was terrible. I'm glad it's over. It was fun? I guess. We were't in the top 10, but we weren't dead last either, so that's not too bad for their first Pro division Competition. I think they are gonna do another one in July maybe and one in October. Hopefully it will be cooled off some by then.

The Dance

Rylee and Dylan had their 7th grade dance last night and I think they both had a good time. Here are a few pics.

Oh and Happy Mother's Day!!!!
Love,
Jenn

Waaaay to many changes for my Rylee this week!

She got her braces off, a spray tan, and a new hair do all in one week! It's too much for me. The combination makes her look older and it has tore my nerves UP! The braces coming off made her look a little older and I really didn't realize that the bangs with the new hair do would make her look even older. She is suppose to be a little bitty girl still. It's got me all tore up. Auntie Joy~I know you're tore up about it. The dance is tomorrow, so I will have new pictures to share. Bt in the mean time, here is a pic of my "new" Rylee...

My Cheerleader and My Abby with her boot

WalMart had their Grand RE-Opening Firday morning and the Cheerleaders Junior Varsity and Varsity) cheered @ the Grand Opening!! I say Wal You say Mart - Wal- Mart- Wal- Mart I say low you say prices low- prices - low- prices!!! It was great and they had a good time I think. It went really good and I was very proud of them!! And Candace is doing an outstanding job, just like I knew she would!!! She is great with the girls and really loves what she is doing!

So Abby got her boot on Thursday afternoon and wore it to school the first day on Friday. She was REALLY,REALLY tore up about wearing it to school. She was afraid that everybody was goin to make fun of her and laugh @ her. Well it turns out that nobody laughed @ her and she ended up being ok with it. It's big and bulky, but she hasn't missed a beat with it! She jumps on that rip rider and cuts donuts on it and everything else. It hasn't slowed her down at all! I really hope this does the trick so that she can get back to softball. She loves it and it's taring her up cause she can't play right now.

We have kinda just been doin whatever today. Old Navy was having a HUGE sale today and I got the girls a couple of new bathing suits for our beach trip thats coming up. Other than that, just a regular day. Big day for Rylee on Monday...she is getting her braces off! Woo Hoo!!! She is really excited! I can't wait to see the before and after pics. Ok, well ya'll have a great night. I love ya'll bunches!
Joy call me tomorrow and let me know about Zeke...bless his heart.... I feel so sorry for him. He is a good dog.

Abby's Ankle

Well, after spending the entire afternoon @ the Hughston Clinic, we have a diagnosis of an injury in the 'growth center'. He is putting her in a boot for 2 weeks and then we go back to see if there is any improvement. He said that he isn't going to cast it today b/c he wants to try the boot first, so keep your fingers crossed and pray that the boot works. No playing ball for 2 weeks either. She will have to keep the bench warm for 2 weeks :( but that's just fine with me if it means her ankle healing. She will still dress out and go to all the games, she will just have to be in the dugout. I'm just glad that we are getting to the bottom of what's goin on with it and just pray that what we're doing works.

Ok, well ya'll have an awesome night! I love ya'll loads!!!

Torn ACL?

Who knows....no MRI on my Kyle's knee today....possibly next week if it's no better by then. We have alot coming up so we gotta get with it if he is looking @ surgery. We gotta get on the road to recovery and quick! Or Uncle Pecks will be on the beach in a "hov-around" LOL!!!!

Spring Break Week

I so wish we would have gone somewhere this week, but we already have our vacation planned for June, Woo Hoo and I can not wait!!! It can't get here fast enough. Anyhoo,the kids have hardly been @ home this week...They have been spending this night with friends and had friends over here spending this night with them. Rylee is going to the Colbie Caillat concert on Friday night which will be a ton of fun for them. Rylee is so excited and can't wait to go. Abby spent the night with Morgan Martin last night and Morgan is spending the night with her on Friday night. Their first softball game is on Tuesday and Abby is ready! Dylan has been in Panama City all week with Creed....I haven't talked to him, but I'm sure that he had alot of fun! Ok well, I'm off to bed shortly I'm tired tonight.

All my love!

Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend was busy, busy, busy!!!! But it was also GREAT! First we had our Easter Egg hunt @ Churh on Saturday morning @ 11:00.... we had alot of fun playing games and all, but we had to leave early to go to Gavin's birthday party which started @12:00. It was a lot of fun too and he had a HUGE turn out. I can't even believe he is 1 year old already. Gah! Then after that, we had to be @ Mama and Daddy's house @ 4:00 to have our family Easter egg hunt which is alway alot of fun. Then up and Easter best dressed, we were off to Church yesterday morning. After Church we headed up to Fredonia for our Easter Egg hunt with Dot and Granny's family (Kyle's family) which is always fun.... and it's great to see everybody there. So that was our weekend....Whew! Glad it's over... I will do absolutely as little as possible this coming up weekend. I'm exhausted....completely exhausted!!!! Here are a few pictures from our weekend. Ya'll have a great night! I love ya'll bunches!
