MISS YOU GRANDMA


I think of Grandma today as it would have been her 90th birthday. I miss her more than I could have ever imagined. I love you Grandma!

ANOTHER SANTEE CAMPING TRIP!












We enjoyed another camping trip to Santee! Chris took us down on Wednesday and we stayed till Sunday. The weather was wonderful and we really had a relaxing nice time! We took the boat this time and caught some nice fish and loved riding the waters! We saw lots of deer on our nightly walks and the kids loved that!!! Hannah and Brunson also enjoyed VBS from 10-12 everyday too! I am already wanting to go back...today is catch up day with all the laundry and cleaning up the camper...boo!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE JAMES!



We celebrated Uncle James birthday, Saturday at Mama's and what a great time we all had. Lots of food and laughs is what the Shirley family is all about! It is an amazing feeling looking around and seeing family and history and lots of love. I hope this starts a new tradition every year! Love you Uncle James!!!

My Babies Make Me Giggle!





These cutie pictures were taken one rainy afternoon, when we couldn't play outside. The children had so much fun playing around with the camera and I bet we took 200 pictures with them giving me the most comical poses!!!


CAMPING IN SANTEE!!!





Our first time taking out our camper was so much fun!!! Having Mama camping right next to us was fantastic, she taught us all about setting up and tips to making every camping trip enjoyable! I am so blessed to have my Mama as my best friend!!! I dreamed of the day when I could camp with my children just the way I grew up camping with my Mom, Dad and brother. It was so much more than I ever expected. I am a simply lady who loves to be with my family. What better way to enjoy being a family. Leave home and all the craziness of everyday life and just relax. Some how leaving home, breathing in fresh air just makes you forget all the stresses!!!

Happy 4th Of July...

And A Happy 10 Year Anniversary!!!

We had a wonderful weekend full of fun and lots of love! Ma-maw got Hannah and Brunson on Thursday and Chris and I started celebrating our anniversary a day early. Chris and I enjoyed all day Friday together with a nice dinner at Motor Supply Co., watching fireworks at the stadium, and ending the night at our fav. little red bar. Saturday we went to Camden to celebrate the 4th with Mama. With grilling, boat riding and fireworks, it was a great day and a perfect weekend. I feel so loved and so blessed.
