Family, Friends, and Fun at the lake

I haven't posted in a long time. We are so busy lately. Never a dull moment. Never! Baylee just had her second birthday in June and Byron continues to grow taller and taller. He is going to pass me up in the very near future.

These are a few photos from our 4th of July weekend at Ronnie's sister's house. We had a wonderful time.

Byron got to spend time with one of his best friends, Travis. Baylee enjoyed being the center of attention and when she wasn't, she figured out a way to become it again. Ronnie and I just enjoyed being able to relax, his sister makes it so easy for us to do that. We are so very thankful for her. If you read this Sam, yes we love you and are thankful for you too! Very much so.

Disney World

Our trip to Disney was combined with my business trip so it was a little stressful. The flowers and all of the landscaping was absolutely beautiful. We visited Animal Kingdom and Epcot. I loved this picture of Baylee and Byron sitting up in the bed because they were both smiling so pretty. The one of Baylee sliding is funny because her bubba was supposed to help her up to the top and ride down with her, only he misunderstood and let her go down alone. I wasn't there but Ronnie said that she rode down all the way just like that and was not scared. As you can see from the last photo, we spent a large part of our time dealing with the "terrible two's".

New Year's Eve

We spent New Year's Eve with friends. Each year gets better with my handsome man!

Christmas Morning

My Mom spent Christmas Eve with us. It was really hard on her without Mickey, but I think it helped her a lot to be at our house.

Two Silly Kids

These two keep us laughing, never a dull moment at our house.

Christmas on the Square

This is from Christmas time. We went to the Christmas parade in down-town Marshall. Byron enjoyed ice skating while Ronnie and I chased Baylee all over the square.

MOM AND ME

Byron and I went on our first camp-out with the boy scouts. It was a lot of fun. The theme was "cubs and bugs". Byron did so well at shooting his BB gun that he received a patch from the junior rifle association. I'm sure Byron will always remember this camp-out.

Halloween 2007

Here is Byron and Baylee on Halloween at our Church's Harvest Festival. They had a great time riding the horse and riding on the hay ride. Baylee mostly wondered around aimlessly with me following. She did find the booth selling popcorn and that was a big hit.

Shelby's Wedding

My nephew, Shelby got married last weekend. He is so special to me and I am so proud of him. I just wish him all of the happiness in the world and I pray that he and his wife will be blessed.

Nothin' Like Good Old Friends

It was so wonderful to spend some time with one of my dearest and best old friends. Shannon and I go way back to Junior High. I am so glad to be back in touch with her. Since I lost my Step-Dad, I have been getting in touch with old friends who mean so much to me.
Shannon is the best, and I love to hear her laugh. It makes me think about sitting in a class room and getting in trouble for laughing and visiting with her. She is definitely a true friend. Shannon, if you read this, please stay in touch often!

2 Cuties

This is just a sweet picture of Baylee and then one of her and her cousin Samantha (Sam). Sam babysat all summer and the 2 of them really hit it off. Thank you to Sam for all she does for our family! We love you!

Back To School

Byron had a back to school swim party. He loved it! He loves swimming and with his birthday in March he could never have a swim party. This was a great get together for the kids. I am also including a photo of his Dad in the middle of performing a canon-ball! The kids were chanting for him to do it. He is a big kid himself, so they love and adore him.

Hot Days in the Cool Pool

Here are some photos of us enjoying our pool this summer!

14 WONDERFUL YEARS

Michawn says, "Do something with your time!" Wow! Doesn't she know how crazy busy life has been lately, geez. Seriously, I will make more time to blog and keep my long-distance friends up-to-date.

Ronnie and I just celebrated our 14th anniversary! We have been together a total o f 16 years. Let me tell you, it is such a blessing from God to have such a great marriage. He is my best friend, soul mate, love of my life!

Here are some pictures of our beautiful children from recent days.

To Michawn and Stephanie: I love you both and miss you very much. God has a way of surrounding me with the best people! You guys are definitely blessings to me as well.

I know I am not very good at writing but I am trying!
