Brian and Ashlie Wedding July 22, 2011

The day has Arrived! Brian and Ashlie are getting married! Kayla was chosen to be a flower girl. The wedding is all she would talk about for weeks. When the day finally arrived she had a very high temperature and still stuck with it and was a beautiful little flower girl.

4th of July in Paris, TN

This year for the 4th of July we went to the lake in Paris, TN. We had our boat last year so this year we were pretty bored. We went to every boat place trying to rent a boat but all the smart people had made reservations months in advance lol. The kids still had fun swimming and playing with rocks. It started to rain so we decided to come back to Dyersburg. Chris's Mom and Dad BBQ'ed tons of food and then we watched the Fireworks at the Fairgrounds.

Amy's 32nd B-day in Dyersburg!

Amy and her family came to Dyersburg to see my parents new house in Lakewood! So glad that they all are here. It has been a long time since we have all been together for her Birthday!

Relay for Life at Dyersburg State/Okeena Park

Chris had a wrestling show for to support Relay for Life. In the middle of the match the ring broke so the kids and I went walking around. Kayla and Preston entered into a toilet paper contest. haha They had the Mission Impossible theme song playing and they twirled in toilet paper until they fell down.

New Ride

Our van has been acting up so we traded our boat for this Explorer. The kids have a blast washing it....so I let them! :)

I got a New JOB!

YAY! I got the job at ANIMAL CARE HOSPITAL!

Easter 2011

This year we celebrated Easter alone. We dyed eggs with the kids and hid them in our yard. They didn't seem to mind that it was just us. To me it just seemed weird since I am use to getting together with all of my cousins and aunts, uncles, parents, sisters, grandparents....

T-ball Time!

This season Preston is a Trimble Demon with Coach Doug Smith. He is more focused this time around and understands the game. His team won the majority of their games and were very exciting to watch. I love watching him play!!! He also won the game ball!

Spring Soccer

This year the kids ended up on the same soccer team because of their ages being so close. The kids started off playing great but then ended up losing interest really quick. They both played soccer better when on their own teams.

Kayla's 7th B-day!

Kayla wanted to invite all of her friends over to spend the night this year. Tangled is her favorite movie so we decided to decorate everything with this theme. Kayla's face lit up as she saw the kitchen decorated with balloons and waited for her friends to arrive. One by one the girls came running in throwing their arms over Kayla. I made lasagna for everyone because that is one of her favorite meals. Only it wasn't for the majority of the others,lol. I ended up having to make some sandwiches and others soup. Guess it would have been easier to just order pizza! The girls gathered and watched the movie Tangled and had a coloring contest. Also, the girls had a pet show in which they all wanted my huge mouse to be their pet! Gift opening was crazy! Everyone pushing their gifts towards her and some actually were helping her open them. One girl was upset because another told Kayla what her gift was. It was a very long night of giggles for these little girls. I was up until almost 3:30am with tow of them!
