80 years of Greatness

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANNY!!!

My dear Nanny just turned 80! (Nanny hope you're ok that I just announced your age on my blog) We all went up to see her to celebrate & go to the spa! We had a great weekend together. All I can say is that I sure hope I got some of her genes because she's one good looking gal!

Our family is so blessed to have such a Godly woman to call our own! WE LOVE YOU!!

SNUGGIE

This March marked Kyle's 27th birthday and he had already picked out his own birthday present. So, I had to make the celebration a little more festive with a little surprise gift.

To give you some background, Kyle kidded me all winter, telling me he was going to get me the latest Info-mercial item for sale as my Christmas present -- everything from the bra hider, Sham-WOW and the Snuggie.

Christmas came and went and still no info-mercial gem. So, when I saw the Snuggie for sale at Bed Bath & Beyond right before his birthday, I HAD to get him one.

Needless to say he was quite surprised when he opened his present that's for sure!

Look who has her own Maid!

My new maid is so thorough, cleaning the walls & cabinets with great vigor. Meticulous and careful to scrub each spot. She's very good at getting the bottom of the wall with ease.

I pay her in cheerios and cheese and she's under 3 ft tall. Any guesses?

It's Miss Elizabeth Jean!

I really think Elizabeth is going to be the cleanest kid ever. She'll never have a messy room or have to be told to pick up her toys. (Let's hope this comes true, huh Sissy?)

After Kyle's birthday dinner, Elizabeth snatch Nana's napkin and immediately started scrubbing my walls. Gee... is that a sign that they are dirty?? She proceeded to wipe down all my cabinets and even the floor!

I need her to come over more often ;)

Couldn't resist...

Maybe it's because I'm her aunt, but these videos crack me up. We went to visit Nanny this weekend to celebrate her 80th birthday! (more to come on that later) One night at Nanny's, Miss Elizabeth discovered the keyboard and had a grand 'ol time jammin'. Her dance moves aren't half bad either. :)

Bellingrath Gardens

While we were in Mobile for Lesley and Blake's wedding, Camille, Carrie and I had a chance to visit the Bellingrath Gardens, which were just simply gorgeous!

Carrie & Camille in the Green house.

Love Camille cute little pregger belly!

Looks like the secret garden

Camillas (I think)

We discovered a river at the edge of the gardens

All that walking made us hungry for a snack!

Mr and Mrs Smith

Mr & Mrs Smith

This past Saturday, my dear friend Lesley got married in Mobile, AL. Miss Jones became MRS Smith under a beautiful awning of big oak trees. Lesley looked gorgeous, Blake was cute as a button and a good time was had by all.

It was so fun to catch up with old friends - some I haven't seen since leaving Samford. I don't think words can't quite describe the event so here's some of the pictures...

Let it snow...

The first day of March we were pleasently surprised while leaving church to discover it was SNOWING! I was anticpating it to melt immediately, but much to our surprise it stuck around (pun intended) all day and into the night.

Kyle was especially excited at seeing snow for the first time outside of a ski resort and took a few shots to remember our snow day!
