Brain FREEZE!

I learned a little trick watching Disney Channel of all places. The next time
the waiter brings you your frozen Margarita and you can't stop your self from grabbing the straw and taking several giants hits of this wondrous elixir right out of the gate.
Inevitably guaranteeing you a much dreaded "Brain Freeze". Take your thumb and press it to the roof of your mouth. This little trick supposedly will cure you of all symptoms.........Has to be true if I saw it on Disney!

All the Pretty Horses



I love it when our neighbor lets his horses out to graze. They are especially beautiful this time of year when all of the leaves are changing and the air is crisp and cool....Love it!

Photo Restoration


This guy that I used to work with had taken on the challenge of restoring some old photos that I gave him. This ones is of my Grandfather (He's the one on the far right). You can see how badly the photo had been creased and some one wrote at the top with an ink pen. The picture was taken in Raleigh, NC and they had all just returned from WWII so that would make the year approximately 1945. Shortly after, he met my Grandmother and the rest is history.......
Great Job Steve, I love it!!

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

We took my cousin Jennifer and her husband Steven to Burt's Pumpkin Farm near Amicalola Falls this weekend to get pumpkins. The place was pretty packed, it was the perfect Fall weekend and it seems that everyone else had the same idea. Its a great place and lots of fun, it really puts you in the mood for chilly fall weather and Halloween!!
They have so many pumpkins, big ones, small ones, bumpy ones, orange ones, white ones, blue ones, brown ones, flat ones and some of the biggest I've ever seen!
We picked up a few bails of hay and couple of mums and the front porch is ready for Fall.....
Too much fun!

First Camping Trip

We took a camping trip with friends to Amicalola State park for 2 nights. Its was great fun and the weather was perfect, it felt like Fall! More friends arrived the second day, we ended up with a total of 12 adults, 2 kids and 3 pooches!
We roasted marshmallows and made smores (Tip: use Sugar Cones instead of graham crackers, less messy especially in the dark) & played several games around the campfire until the wee hours of the night!!
It was beautiful, Enjoy!!

2 Years Old !!



Genevieve turned 2 years old on Thursday!! My parents, brother and my brothers girl Friend got into town late Thursday night so we celebrated her birthday Friday at Chuck E Cheese. Afterwards, we had birthday cake and presents back at the house.


Saturday we took Genevieve to Monkey Joe's so she could play with two girl friends; Lexie and Allyn Marie. This is a girl who threw a fit about going down a 3' slide only a few months ago and here she is practically free falling down a 15' slide all by herself with a smile on her face!



This is my mom, brother and his girlfriend Nicole who came all the way from Dallas to celebrate with us!!!


This morning after everyone left for Texas before the sun came up, Matt, Genevieve and I loaded up and went to the airport to visit with my cousin Amy and her daughter Carmen while they waited on their connection back to Washington State. The girls giggled and ran around the airport for about an hour until it was time to say good bye.......This was their first time to meet each other!!



Happy Birthday Sweetie!!
We Love you.
