Roomie Reunion

My two college roommates and I met up for a blissful weekend at Kim's house in Hot Springs!  You know those friends you compare everyone to once you get out of college? Well these are mine!  I love them so much and we take advantage of every minute together...even if we do need sleep!  Lauren and I got to meet Ms. Aubrey Kate and she was precious and perfect! 
Our guys get along so well! They jive as well as we do!

 Here are the girls at church!  My how things change! We have added a few accessories.
I had to add an old school pic from my wedding, Kim is on the L of Chad and Lauren is on the R of me!  I can't put my finger on exactly what makes us so close but, I will say we spent a lot of days in college praying, crying, and laughing! We are all so different but, we appreciate each others differences! Lots of love here!  Time is not enough with these girls! 
They guys playing football outside!
We went to see the lights! These kids love each other so much! They were cracking us up!  Oh the business of kids!







I can't wait until our next get together, we have plans up our sleeve and promised to not go so long without each other!  Oh how I love my Kim and Lauren!

Fall Family Photos 2010

We got our family pics taken a month or so back and here they are.  I knew they would not be good because no one would cooperate. I was hoping for us very natural around each other and our natural is not looking at the camera smiling!  I am pleased with how they turned out. It was a cold rushed day but, my friend managed to capture us in our element.  Our element being happy with each other! The last one is going on our mantle (a color version)!  It is about time Georgia Kelley made our walls!

A Very Thanksgiving

We had memorable and sweet Thanksgiving at Grandmother Georgia's house. With the whole family there we were able to keep the family traditions alive!

 Okay, so Baby Bo...cutest baby ever!  He kept turning away from the camera!

 I love this picture of my sisters and mom!  The laughing never stops!  I have to say that is one thing I am VERY thankful for!

 Caroline LOVES "Grandmother Georgia" or so she calls Georgia Kelley.

 We brought games and Tessa they brought games and GAMES they played!



 On the eve of Thanksgiving we sat on the deck and went down memory lane!  While out there Harry and Caroline hit the screen running in!  SO FUNNY!
 Olivia put on a concert for us! You can't buy this type of entertainment! I know it is hard to believe but I passed hte torch to her; that was my job as a little girl at all family events! I made my stardom from "Just a Swingin"!  I am happy to give the job to Olivia!

 Emily told the best stories and stayed to savor those memories!
 I can't tell you how many times we had to stop this jumping on the bed!
 Paul took the job as the cuddler for Grinch!
 I was the BINGO caller!  I am not wearing a lamp! HA!
 I love Grandmother's house because we have so many great memories and traditions! We eat the exact same foods every year!  We go around the table and say what we are thankful for.  This year we went around four times! The rule is you have to be specific...not general.  I would write what everyone said but, Chad said not to put that on my blog.  I  will tell you that I said: Mom(it was her birthday), Grandmother's dining table (so many traditions and fond memories there), Harry's cousins, and Tessa(she fits in so well with our humor and she appreciates it)!  There are so many more things I am thankful for but at that time those fit!  Harry said he was thankful for Mommy, daddy, and the whole wide world!
 Caroline came on home with us to spend the night! She is so funny and loves Harry and Georgia Kelley so much!  They had a ball!  She cracks me up!



Caroline was a blast and we will have to make it a longer trip next time!  Like I said, we LOVE our cousins!

Brooklyn and Mallory Sleepover


Harry and Georgia Kelley's cousins spent the night a few weeks back and I haven't had the time to post about it.  We had the best time! 
 There was a lot of jiving going on here!  These kids LOVE each other so much!
 Especially the two older ones!
 We loves these little girls so much!  We love this time of year because we get to see a lot of them with holidays and birthday parties!
