Ah, Family Reunion Time!

So, we headed to Cleveland, TN (outside Chattanooga) this weekend for my family's big reunion. I haven't gotten the pics from the actual reunion together yet, but here's some from our super fun day out at my cuz James and his wife Angela's house on the lake. Cole was hating his life vest for the first hour or so - and the girls rode jet ski's for the very first time!! Very good times... Thanks James & Angela for giving us such a fun day!

and the WINNER is...

Alexis!! Woo Hoo!

Every time the girls and I shop at T.J. Maxx (my fave!) - we hold a contest to see who can find the tackiest item. I figured I'd start sharing our finds with you here. Please don't get offended if you have this or something very similar hanging in your closet...gosh - it's just a game! :)

Plain White T's

The girls have been tearing up the concert scene in Nashville this week...Alex, Megan & a couple friends went to the Plain White T's concert down at Rocketown. (fyi - they're the ones that sing "Hey There Delilah")

The COOLEST part though was when we were leaving I pulled around to the back of the building heading toward the interstate and we found the band heading to their bus!! I thought the girls were going to plunge to their deaths trying to jump out of the car while I tried to pull over. Luckily everyone survived - and got pictures with the lead singer, Tom Higgenson! (again, funky cell phone pics, oh well) That guy was SO NICE! He was super patient while all the girls got pictures, and he hung out and talked with everybody for a really long time. Good times...

Fleetwood Mac UNLEASHED!

There was no way I was going to be able to sneak big mama in there, so all pics are from the ol' cell phone...



Me and the girls went to the Fleetwood Mac concert down at the Sommet Center last night and IT WAS AMAZING! Stevie's voice - oh that woman...she gives me chill bumps. But I was most blown away by Lindsey - that dude ROCKED the ENTIRE show! I was worn out just watching him. I mean, how old are they now??? I could have never kept up with the man.

Here's Lindsey rocking the guitar...

Are women born this way?

Good Stuff.

The Cutest Thing EVER

This is a video clip that absolutely must be watched over and over and over and over and over...

Okay, Okay...

I'm going to start blogging again.

No offense, but it's not for you - it's for us. Us being me and Eric. We used to love scrolling through this stupid blog every now and then, remembering the random things that had happened over the year...and now there's a great big gaping hole in our weird little life story because I haven't made the time to keep this up. Well, this chic says NO MORE! I am the kind of woman who can run a couple businesses AND have a life! I just know it! Hear me roar,

"roar"

It won't take long to update you on what's been going on in the 4 months since I last posted...we haven't been doing much. Business has been good, so we've been busy with work. The girls survived the school year. Casey's still puttering around being the best dog ever. Cole is saying all kinds of stuff now...he's a little parrot. I'm starting another "business venture", but it's going to be my little secret for now...

Here's a couple pics.


We discovered that Megan can make the BEST banana pudding in the world!!



Alex spends hours making bracelets, and I mean h o u r s...they now reach almost to her elbows.



Cole buddy says "Cheese!" for the camera now. :)



Eric is growing tomatoes and green peppers this year. Here is his first little baby green pepper. Yum!



Casey tests the soil levels. After all, she is the fertilization expert.
