Lookie What We Did!!!

We Love Spring!


From Homemade Jelly to planting our little garden, we worked hard today! There is no jelly like Grandma's jelly and every year I try and try to make her strawberry jelly. I still haven't got it right yet, but I won't give up! I can't seem to figure out how to get the actual berries to disperse throughout the jar, my berries stay on the top...but it does taste oh SO good!!! And our garden, we are a little late getting ours planted due to our spring break beach trip! Last year was our first attempt at a garden and we planted all kinds of goodies...only to produce successful edible tomatoes. All the other veggies didn't quite grow or taste very good. This year we will probably keep it small, so far we have planted several tomatoes bushes and just a few cucumbers and zucchinis. I think we will refrain from planting the melons and berries this year, but may add a few more veggies and an herb or two!

SPRING BREAK

Family Fun At The Beach

We had a great time celebrating Easter and Spring Break with Mamaw at the Beach this year! Hannah and Brunson were SUPER brave and swam in the ocean. It was great warm weather, but when I stuck my toes in the water, it was freezing! The Easter Drama, and Magic Show were great, along with the Easter egg hunt and LW family fun night being fun! It was such a full fun week, we are so looking forward to summer break!!!

Take me out to the ballgame!

We are three games in on the season, Brunson is really working hard. Every game I am so proud for him! He gives 110% on every play and is such a great athlete. Last night's game was extra exciting for Brunson, he had his cousins and Aunt there cheering him on! Thanks, Jaymee, Shannon, Aunt Judy, Huston and Coleton

Sweet Girl Hannah!

Hannah started Tumbling classes the first of Febuary and she LOVES it! In the first month she mastered her bridge and this month she will master her back walk over (I just know it). She is maybe an inch now from popping into her full split! We are so very proud of her!

That's My Boys!

The new season has begun and my Brunson, better known as "Bruno" to everyone at the ballfield, is playing great! Brunson is playing shortstop and batting 3rd. Chris is coaching (of course) again this season and it is so wonderful to watch them together on the field. Life is full and so fun, we are truly a blessed family!

Luv A Parade!

We have been so busy, we are just getting to see our first parade of the season! Love our family time together!!!

We do love CHRISTmas time around here! It seems like life is so fast and time kinda gets away from us at times. BUT this is the most important time of year, Jesus's Birthday and we intend to celebrate the miracle of life and love. Yes we are believers in Santa, of course, but we are remembering the true meaning of Christmas as well. Hannah and Brunson love to decorate the house almost as much as Chris and I :) So here's to a Merry MERRY Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus season!!!

 

 

 

 

The Trip To Atlanta

In Support Of Our Gamecocks!

 

Chris and I had a great adult trip to Atlanta for the Gamecock vs Tiger game! Unfortunately our Gamecocks were defeated, but we still had a great time with all our tailgating family! Those Auburn fans were wonderful as well, and we came away with new friends! Fan fair was really neat with all the vendors and news broadcast stations...we saw ourselves on tv a few times :) Oh and even got to see our first snow flurries of the year!

So Much To Be Thankful For

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am so thankful for my family and the love we share! We enjoyed a fantastic holiday week at Momma's for Thanksgiving! We spent time playing, baking and cooking, hunting and of course Shirley partying! The time flew by, hard to believe we have been in Camden since Tuesday, it just went by so fast!

 

It's a happy HAPPY day!!!

Because My Momma Comes Home Today!!!

I know I am spoiled by my Mommy...and really love it!!! I have missed her so much,as she has been on a vacation for 10 WHOLE days with Aunt Cathy! She called this morning at 6:15 as the cruise ship was pulling into port...now I have to be patient 10 more hours (for her to drive back to SC) and then I get my Momma back!
So much happens everyday and I am so use to talking with her..oh at least two or three times a day. We got a lot to catch up on, just the short conversation this morning has me feeling GREAT, EXCITED and FULL of LOVE!!!! Got the kitchen in chaos,baking away getting ready for Thanksgiving!!! Nothing like family holidays!! I LOVE MY MOMMY!!!

Tis The Season

FOR CROOKS!!!

Lock your doors, set you alarm and protect all your goodies...Christmas is around the corner! Which of course means, the crooks are on the prowl to "work" at stealing your stuff! Why such pathetic people will come out at night, sneak around and really put so much energy into stealing and harming instead of getting a real job is beyond my understanding. Don't these people know you can sit back, do nothing and let the good ole Mr. President put you on the system and pay ALL your way for nothing???
Anyway, this morning around 4:30 my neighbor (thank goodness she had to use the potty) spotted a man out her window in my driveway-next to my car. By the time she sent her main man over with his nice gun in hand the scumbag was long gone.
So I am taking this as a huge warning to make sure I am better prepared from now on against criminals!!!!

The Southern weekend!

I deerly enjoyed a weekend in Camden. My little southern kiddos felt the pitter patter of their heart racing with the excitement of a successful deer hunt. A family that plays together loves together and I do love my family!

What A Weekend!!!

Full of tailgating, Halloween and Birthday celebrations!!!
Three celebrations in one, made for a spooktactular-grand-winning-party weekend! The RV was full this weekend with family, every bed was full and it was chaotic fun! Mamaw, Christen and BJ joined our usual family of four in our 27ft home away from home and Sheryl, Steve and Uncle Roy joined us all Saturday!

Mamaw hit the big 63 this year, and her birthdays are always super important to us! Made her, grandma's famous pound cake! She is the best Mom ever, brave and strong...a breast cancer survivor! She makes me want to burst with pride!!! She has hit her prime and is so full of life and spice. After several hard years MY Mama is back!
Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween!
We had an awesome time with all the Halloween festivities! All the children dressed up and trick or treated to each RV in the tailgating lot! We set up a photo booth and I loved having all the families come and get candy and use the booth to take their family pictures! At nine o'clock all the kids went in for baths and bed and the "adult party" began! All the costumes were unique and a bit...adult! Oh so much fun! Chris and I dressed as Al and Peg Bundy from the tv show, Married with Children...well I came out being called Snooki, from Jersey Shore. And Mama!!! She started out being a kitty cat before ten and matured into a Cougar after ten. It was great, my Mama in white, leather, knee boots with black leggins was the best!!! Have to admit we all had a little liquid courage to help us along the way:)


Gamecocks Win Against Tennessee WOO-HOO!
What a game, back and forth, but the gamecocks pulled out another win! After the game we enjoyed a large bbq and oyster meal! Our five RVs got together and what an enormous amount of food we all enjoyed! Of course this lead into our corn hole tournaments...Chris and I are STILL undefeated!!!
