Home Sweet Home

Our beautiful home we worked so hard on....

Mamaw gave us this Angel Trumpet as a little sprig last year and we stuck it in the ground this spring and it just took off. It has now outgrown her plant in FL. We are not sure why but it loves where it is. It is absolutely beautifl and my favorite plant in the yard.

I Passed the Hobet Exam

Yay, I did really well on the Hobet exam so I have officially applied to the nursing program in the Spring. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I celebrated by buying myself a new cell phone and Michael surprised me with beautiful roses.

Happy Birthday Daddy

We celebrated Michael's 27th birthday over the weekend by having a couples massage followed by a nap. Then we went to dinner and to watch a movie. Sunday we lounged around the lake and had a big dinner with my family and ate chz cake. I think Michael had a very good birthday.

Bree just woke up from a long nap in this picture.

Dinner with the Kimsey's

We went to dinner with Josh, Lisa & Hailey their last night in the states. We ate at Myabi's, Wednesday night and then walked through the mall just to spend a few more minutes together.

It was very hard to say goodbye to them because I know it will be a long time before we get to spend time together again. We are so happy they came to stay with us and wish we could have done more together. We look forward to their visit next May and can't wait to see the girlies playing together.

Vacation in Jacksonville, Florida

After the Ashcraft-Henry wedding, we went to Jacksonville, Florida to spend a few days. We loved every minute of it and Bree loved having both of her parents all to herself 24/7. We will definitely go back there to visit.

Bree liked riding on the luggage cart. Even when we loaded it down with our suitcases she sat on top of them. She is soooo funny! Oh and see her pocket book sitting beside her, she wouldn't leave the room without it.

Playing kickball with daddy on the beach. The couple in the background were having a blast watching Bree chase after the ball. She was giggling so hard she could barely run.

Bree hitting the ball back to daddy.

Breelan loves the ocean. She likes to hold hands and walk out in the water so the waves hit at her chest, then she lets the water drag her feet toward land and then back out to sea. You really have to hold her tight because the current just pulls her with it.

Breelan and Michael telling the sea goodbye.

The Ashcraft - Henry Wedding

Kim and Josh were married Saturday, August 30th. They had a beautiful wedding and reception.

We all had a great time and wish them the best of luck in their marriage. I know they will be a very happy couple for many many years to come. We look forward to seeing some little Henry's running around at the next family get together. Congratulations Kim & Josh!!!!

Michael dancing with the stunning bride.

Bree and I taking a dancing break. Bree had a ball dancing out on the dance floor. She would spin in circles, crawl on the floor and wiggle her butt. Too cute!!!

Shopping with Auntie Lisa and Baby Hailey

Playing with Hailey. Lisa and I were looking at clothes and when we turned to look at the girls Bree had covered Hailey in toys, even her head.

Bree found this body pillow and decided she wanted it so she drug it through the store. She would jump and lay on it too.

Miss Hailey Brooke

Awww, mommy and daughter. It felt so weird with us both pushing strollers down the aisles.

Bree and her pillow again.

Bree and the Sucker

Need I say more.........

Out on the town

We took Bree to play in the little park on Bower Pkwy. We took her clothes off so she could play in the water fountains and could climb up the slide easier. She has now figured out how to slide without putting her feet down and she would run and squeal everytime the water shot up. She had a blast playing on the play ground and in the water.

Way To Go Andrea!!!!

Bree and I went to cheer for Andrea at her softball game Friday night. We ate some of the best corn dogs ever. Bree loved playing in the sand and playing with uncle Stephen.

The Girlies Summer Visit

My God-daughter, Paige and my mom's God-daughter, Ruby came to SC for a week to play before school starts back. The girls had a great time and are reluctant to go home. They played on the McDonald's playground, went to an indoor inflatable playground, went swimming and jet skiing, went to the zoo, and did a little bit of shopping.
We are so glad they came to visit and hope they can come back again next year.

The girls playing in the whirlpool.

They wanted their make up done, so here they are.

Woo hoo!!!

Were restling with papa Greg.

My girls!

McDonald's Introduction

Bree loves the playground at McDonalds. You have to drag her off kicking and screaming. She thinks she is all grown up now and can do whatever she wants.

She would climb up the slide and walk down the stairs.

She likes to take out all of the shoes one by one.

Lovin it!!!

See here she is climbing up the slide. I think she has it backward.
