The rush of the season

Well, I have not posted in a couple of weeks so I thought I would do a quick catch up...Last Friday night we had Christmas with Donald's side, it was very nice and we had a great time. Tanner was able to come up and of course I was all over that baby!! I snuggled, smelled and kissed that sweet head and neck! I also got to feed him and took lots of pictures!! He is now up to almost 7 lbs and just the cutest little man!

On Saturday we drove up to Huntsville to spend the day with the Bakers, Josh is home from Basic Training and we celebrated his birthday and we also exchanged Christmas gifts. The kids (Joseph, Josh and Hannah) are all getting so big that we just usually do gift cards or cash...I really miss them tearing into those presents! Josh looked great and "none the worse for wear" after going through "boot camp"...working out, gas chamber, obstacle course, shooting targets etc...he leaves 1/2 heading to El Paso Texas for his MOS. Hannah is having a great time at her new school, Bob Jones HS. She will be the catcher and cover 3rd base this softball season. She also went with a friend of hers and caught while she pitched for the scouts at Alabama a few weeks ago. Luckily we will get to see her play some this season, she has several games in Vestavia and Hoover that we will be able to make. Natalie also had some professional pictures done of Hannah and all I can say is WOW! She has always been gorgeous but these pictures are amazing!



This week has been just hectic with work, parties and MD appointments...I am ready for this Friday to get here because I am off work until January 2nd!! Whoo-hoo!!

Merry CHRISTmas to you all and a very Blessed New Year!!!

Jerri's Christmas Jubilee

Janeen and I are off to Cleveland, Alabama on Saturday for a Christmas Jubliee hosted by Jerri Wood. Some of you may remember her from Scrapbook Heaven, she did all of the shabby shiek layouts. I am excited about making the 10 projects and can't wait to see what they are. It is also nice to get to spend the day with Janeen, it has been a while since we have done a scrapbooking adventure together.

I just love the group Casting Crowns...all of their songs are heartfelt and really have a message. This is one of my favorites...watch, listen to the words...
