More Easter Pictures!

Community Easter Egg Hunt

Jaxson loved the Helena Easter Egg Hunt! He knew what to do and loved it! We did not find the prize egg- but we sure did have fun! This hunt was for 2 and under only so Brantley couldn't go. So it was a nice little time for just us!

Vinnie

We love our Vinnie! Vinnie was a survivor of Hurricane Katrina. We found him in our backyard one night- he jumped our privacy fence. We thought someone put him there- but no- he jumped! We called the number on his collar- and the rest is history- he is now ours! He does like to cause us problems by jumping the fence a lot, but he is such a sweet dog!

Can the Easter Bunny Bring Us This????

He was excited- but kept trying to throw the "balls"

You can tell that Brantley loves anyone who will bring him presents, but Jaxson has not quite caught on yet!

Still Alive!

Hello Blogger world! We are still alive! We have been super busy! Sorry for not blogging!!! I do have my reasons though....

Reason #1- It is now baseball season here in Alabama and I must say it it keeping us busy! Brantley is playing machine pitch this year- 7 year old boys. My parents came this weekend to a game and my dad could not believe how advanced it is here for little boys baseball. I grew up watching my brother play, so I love baseball! We might just make it to see the Yankees play this year if we are lucky! :)

Reason #2- Monogramming/appliques- I am SOOOO BUSY! I never thought it would take off like this! I bought a machine to do my kids clothes, friends clothes, etc. Now I have people from all over the US ordering- Whew! Go here to check it out..... but I will be on break until further notice. I must catch up!

I plan on posting pictures today, I promise!!! Jax is now 20 months old and busier than ever, Brantley is keeping me busy with school functions and baseball! But, it is SO MUCH FUN!

Not that you needed a reason- But I do apologize for being a slacker! I will catch up soon!

Bringing home a piece of Paradise... Part 2

After the tree is finally loaded, we are set to head to Bham!

Once back, TK had to dig this huge hole- we live on a mountain- so it is not easy! OUr neighbor Robby, even came over to help.


The tree is so big and heavy- it took 5 grown men to roll it off the trailer. Once it was off- TK watered it and prepared the hole for planting. Coming soon is a picture of the tree in the ground!
So... after 3 days- and a lot of work on TK's part and others- we now have a palm tree in our yard- close to the house in the flower bed- we are probably one of the few in central Alabama.

Bringing home a piece of Paradise...... Part 1

TK found a palm tree at a palm nursery in Destin- right outside of Seaside. He tried to talk himself out of buying it for 2 days, but couldn't. Little did I know how much trouble it would be to bring home!


So, we call 3 UHAUL places and finally find a trailer that we can take and leave in Birmingham.


We go back to the palm nursery 30 minutes away and they dig it out of the ground- or should I say pull it out of the ground with a bobcat. (a piece of machinery- I am learning!)

Then, all the guys- prepare it for the trailer and a 4 1/2 hour ride home.

Beach Pictures

Trying to take beach pictures.......

Trying to take beach pictures of two little boys is very hard! Jaxson wanted to run around- straight to the ocean- and Brantley was tired of smiling! We did get a few cute ones though!

SanDestin and Seaside Pictures

This past weekend we took a beach trip that was so much fun and greatly needed! We had a great time doing nothing, playing in the sand, and walking on the beach. We loved every minute of it!

From Snow to Sand in 6 days!

I hope we dont get sick! We went from snow on Sunday to sand on Friday! It was great to get away, now I just want Spring to come even sooner!

Cute Movie

Thursday night, TK and I went to see this movie. I think TK fell asleep several times- but I loved it! It is so me! If you know me, you know that I love to shop and love designer things! I am not too materialistic but I LOVE FASHION! I have read this book and I had to see the movie as soon as I could. (too busy these days) It is a great chick flick- and oh so cute!!!

Super Hero Brantley!

Brantley is so funny! I cant get enough of this child! He is so fun to be around and is so smart! I am looking forward to Spring Break, so he can be at home for a whole week without school! We can all sleep in late and do whatever Brantley wants to do!
