Checking in

I am in the middle of trying to get the new computer hooked up and of course the internet has decided to throw a tantrum and not work. @#*$%%%% Sorry, I was having a tantrum of my own. I will get back on and blog, I have pictures and stories to tell. Ssshhh, I'm at work right now.
Football started last night and I am the juniors team mom, yea me. I'm already exhausted. It will probably be tomorrow before I will get to work any more on the computer, I might put Wayne to work on it. We have practice again tonight and then on Thursday night. God help me. I am walking around the track during practice so there is some good that will come out of this.
Well, hopefully I will have some pictures and lots of news very soon.

Happy 4th of July

So, what did you do to celebrate the 4th? Rusty and I had kind of a quiet 4th, that's a first for us. Ashleigh was with her friends, swimming and having a good time, and Blake and Wayne are in North Carolina with my parents and Steven. This is the first time, in a long time, that Steven and my parents weren't here to cook out and watch the town fireworks from our back deck. We have the best seats in the house. Blake and Wayne will be gone for another week and a half and then we will be down there to celebrate my Dad's birthday and bring the boys home. They've never been gone this long before. It's really quiet around here and I'm not quite ready for this kind of quiet. We got up early and went down to Mom and Dad's house, the one they are selling here, to mow the grass. On the way home we stopped at Wally World and picked up some steaks and potatoes. We already had corn on the cob here at the house. Rusty cooked everything which was really nice and then he se the table with candles. We had a really nice dinner and then after getting everything cleaned up went out to watch the fireworks.

Last Sunday we went to see Lynard Skynard. If you've never been to see them you are in for the biggest mixture of people in one place. Rusty and I have been going to see them for years. His brother, Gary and his wife Bev have been a couple times with us but not in the last couple years. I've only missed one concert with Rusty and that was the year Ashleigh wanted to take him for Father's Day. We had a great time. I am having trouble getting pictues posted so I will do that tomorrow.

I hope you had a great day spent with family and friends. Happy Birthday American and thank you to all the soldiers, and their families, home and overseas securing the fact that we are able to celebrate this wonderful holiday!!

Same occasion, more celebrating

Last Saturday we had Ashleigh's graduation party. We had to delay it a little because of Ashleigh being gone for beach week and then Pawpaw's wedding. We had the party at my mother in law's house and everyone had a really good time. We had a lot of good food, we are a family that really enjoys food so most of our celebrations are centered around food. My parents weren't able to be there but we will once again be celebrating this graduation in September when we go on the cruise. That is their present to her, this is the party that never ends.

This is where is all began.

Ashleigh and her friend Caitlyn, they have been friends since 3rd grade. She also graduated this year.

I had asked my sister in law Bev (yes Dy that sister in law story is still coming) to make the cake. Isn't it beautiful. It wasn't really leaning, it must have been the way I was holding the camera. The bottom was chocolate and the top was purple funfetti cake. It not only looked good it was delicious.

Asheligh and the baker of the cake. Oh, and that's not champaigne or wine in the bottles, it's sparking apple cider and sparkling grape juice.

Ashleigh and her Granny. She had the house decorated all in purple and white. It looked great.

Asheigh and her cousin Brett. Brett graduated last year.

Ashleigh with her Aunt Debbie and her Aunt Bev. They both have informed me they should be able to ok any pictures of them that I post here. Sorry ladies, it's my blog and you are at my mercy.

Ashleigh opening yet another round of presents, will the insanity never end?

Enjoying her sparkling grape juice.

Ashleigh's Uncle Gary toasting her and her future. Her other uncle was there but he had to leave, he plays in 2 bands full time, I'm not sure how many part time, and he had to play that night.

My nephew R.J. is on the right and his friend Jesse is on the left. Oh, of course you know the one in the middle.

.

Stay tuned.
