Just a few pictures from our last trip to Chicago over Father's day weekend. Donald, Joseph and all of the Diffy's left on Wednesday night, and I flew out on Friday evening. The reason for going was Carmen's 75th birthday celebrations. They had her bday party on Friday night with a big family cook-out, and the surprise bash put on by her family on Saturday night. It was fun to get all dressed up!

Family and friends gathered at their home in north Alabama for all of us to see and love on Josh before he left for New Jersey on June 26Th.

We took a short trip to Destin over Memorial Day weekend. It rained a lot so we went bowling, played pool at the Hurricane Lanes, ate a lot of seafood (except Alicia she ate a lot of chicken). Took Alicia crabbing with a flashlight(she did not like this southern beach tradition at all!) The red flag was out the whole time we were there, but the surfers were out anyway.

We drove over to Atlanta on 8-9 for Kevin's Baptism, Jenn and Joe's bday. The Priest was from Poland and very casual which was nice, we all got to go up on the stage when he actually baptised Kevin. At Mark's Baptism the Archbishop carried out the service and it was just the parents and Godparents on the stage. Alicia and Joseph made a strawberry cake with creamcheese icing for Jenn's bday.

What an adventure this was! Before we left on Wednesday morning Donald and Joseph changed the oil in Joseph's explorer...Donald went to get the towel to wipe his hands and when he did the old oil filter came down and hit him above his left eye and split it open. So we rushed to get ready and packed and went to St. Vincents. They decided to use dermabond on his laceration, which now looking

I know David and Loretta had a fun looking at old pictures and catching up with the family. After lunch at

On Thursday I celebrated the 14th anniversary of my 29th birthday! I had a wonderful dinner at the Village Tavern with my sweet hubby (Joseph went to the Alabama Theater with Alicia to see Jeff Dunham, she gave him the tickets for Valentine's Day). We are celebrating this weekend with cake and presents because my siblings are coming in for the weekend. My brother, Chuck, celebrates his

Since the last time I blogged it has been crazy at the Vodosia's residence!! Donald continues working the night shift and lots of overtime, hunting when he can and remodeling the house. He finished the floor in our utility room now all we need is the trim and some touch ups to the paint. He put in a floor to ceiling cabinet and a short cabinet and we decided on one more floor to ceiling

What Vikki MeansYou are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you.You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.You have a lot of

Well our sweet baby boy is now 20 years old as of 3:12 pm yesterday. He is such a remarkable young man and we just love him to pieces! I took lots of pictures will post monday or tuesday. His sweet girlfriend, Alicia made him an awesome Houndstooth "Bear Bryant" hat cake. It was 5 layers of the most delicious strawberry cake that had buttercream icing in black/white, the icing of the cake took 4

My friend Paulette posted this on her blog yesterday and I thought I would share it with you all! It is so true, the only reason's we have the freedom we have at this very moment is because of men and women, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters that have chosen to be a part of our military forces and some have went a step further by giving their life to keep us free.

We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday the 27th but we did not carve the pumpkins until Tuesday night...Joseph chose to do the skull with all the teeth (future dentist!)I chose a simple carving since this is the first one in 42 years I have EVER carved!This one was Alicia's...I think this was her 2nd pumpkin to ever carve...

I am not sure of the total for the event this year...last year we had over 500 people there...I am sure we had that many or more this year! It was fun to see everyone dressed up, the kids playing all the games, the food was yummy and there was plenty of candy to go around!

Yesterday I received some bittersweet news...we are losing James as our Youth Minister. He and Emily have been praying about this for a couple of months now and he feels he is doing God's will. Coming of Age is the band he is a member of along with Drew (his brother-in-law) and Chris (his cousin-in-law) and the Lord is really opening doors for them and he felt he could not give our youth 1oo% and

Here are a few pictures from Destin, we went over the Labor Day holiday weekend for a mother-daughter get away. Our plan is to continue this adventure on a yearly basis. We had a great time, the weather was perfect. We read books, took in some rays, watched dolphins, ate some good food and most of all enjoyed so good, silly at times fun!

Here are three pictures from his experience. He went 170 mph and passed one car and was closing in on the second when his laps ran out. He absoultely had a blast, he is still talking about it! He said he is ready to go again.

On Sunday at noon Donald's 25th anniversary present will become a reality for him...he will be driving a racecar around the Talladega Speedway at speeds up to 160 miles per hour!! He is so excited about it and I know he is going to be just so cute in that jumpsuit! Not sure how many will be on the track with him, but they say he will get to pass, draft etc...I really hated that I could not get

So ready for the 5:00 whistle to blow!! Actually for me today it will be 3:00 ;)We are anticipating a relaxing weekend to catch up on some much needed family time! Donald is playing in a golf tourney with his company McAbee today along with a couple of "blue hats" from USX...sure hope they do well! I have a class at Scrapbook Stuff tonight, meeting Joseph for dinner at Jim 'n Nicks in Jasper.

Donald is working tonight 12 hrs and Saturday 3-11...I think we might cross paths in the morning around 8ish.

Here are just a couple of Amie that was taken, I took the top picture and another of the students took the close up of her.After Donald and Joseph showed up Baham wanted to take some of Joseph as well, he really thought his "shades" were cool. So he took the one of just of his Oakley's, if you look close you can actually see him taking the photograph. He is an awesome teacher and photographer!

This afternoon I start cross training in the Emergency Department at Children's! I am excited but nervous. I have been in the ED to work with Chris as a SANE, but never as an actual ED nurse. So please say a prayer!!

Last Saturday was fun, we met Paris (my new friend and photography teacher) at the Botanical Gardens for her Portrait class. Joseph did some modeling for her, Kelsie came along and did some as well. She took some pictures of us, I got to see them last night and they all turned out great. She is making me a disc so as soon as I receive it I will post some. Everything went great with the drama

I am so excited this Sunday is the Easter Drama that my SS class is putting on it is called "Through Mary's Eyes" written by a fellow church member. Tasha "Mary" is telling the story as it is acted out along with some other monologue... We have dress rehearsal Saturday night and Joseph is going to take some pictures, so I will post some of them as soon as I can. Joseph has his first modeling gig

When someone would ask himhow he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would betwins!" He was a natural motivator.

Does anyone else feel like this on Monday's??? It was a busy weekend. It started Saturday with a trip to Dothan to play paintball in a 5 man tournament and then drive back home in the same day! With the time change we got home around 2:45 Sunday morning. Sorry to say we were slackers for the AM services, but there for the PM service at church. Reflections did the drama Call Out to Jesus by

Joseph and three of his friends, Zac, Josh and Brad played in a Paintball Tournament yesterday in Cullman. I have been to buy paintball stuff, but never to a field to watch them play. It is very interesting to say the least. Some of these guys go at it like they are really in combat. Some are just there for fun. Our group Last Minute Militia played 5 games and they won 3 out of the 5, but the

Wow! The Valentine's Banquet was such a huge success! In part to the wonderful youth council and parents we have on board. We started out at around 10 that morning with cooking and decorating. The youth did an awesome job with the human video "When I think about the Lord", special thanks to Shelia Tucker for singing at the last minute! The Newly Wed game was a hit as always! We prepared food
