Kat-Kat and her babies

Our Kat-Kat came to visit! She had a blast lovin' on her babies! We already miss her and can't wait to see her again! She certainly doesn't look like a grandmother does she???

Evelyn was GORGEOUS!

Rehearsal dinner!

This past weekend was amazing! I was so honored to be in Evelyn and Ben's wedding...it was beautiful! I can honestly say that it was one one of the most sincere ceremonies I have ever witnessed. We had an absolute blast at the rehearsal dinner party and wedding/reception. We wish Ev and Ben wonderful blessings...we love them both dearly!

Double, double toil and trouble

Chap and I went to Nashville during our trip to TN to visit Nat, Shane and Madelyn. Nat and I took the little ones to the AG center to visit all of Nashville's fine police horses! You can go there ANYTIME you want for FREE! We watched them training a horse on the field and watched all the horses being transferred to their stalls for the night. We loved getting to watch them eat their supper!

They all had the cutest names! My favorite horse name was "Peace Keeper".

The boys had so much fun playing on the hay bails in the back field behind the house!

Chivas and Fred won 1st place Chicken and 2nd place pork with a Reserve Grand Champion score in the Shade Tree division.
John and Kathy were competing on the pro division as usual. It was such an honor to have even been invited to the competition. Only the best get an invitation! We really look forward to becoming a PRO team! Yay Sweet Southern Smoke! I am one proud BBQ wife!

My poor little baby! This evening Chap fell forward onto a plastic crate and his bottom teeth went RIGHT THROUGH below his lower lip! ALL THE WAY THROUGH! When I scooped him up I ordered Chivas to call the clinic and tell sweet Dr. Bryant and Kelly NOT TO LEAVE YET! I completely expected stitches for my little man....BUT...Dr. B said that it will close on it's own. SIGH OF RELIEF! We simply cleaned it well and we were back home in 15 minutes from the time of the accident! When we got home Chap walked straight up to Sam and said "SAMMIE....WOOK (look)!". He just HAD to show his big brother his bobo! It was soo sweet! I am certain now that it was written in the stars for me to be a nurse. This is going to be one long bumpy ride with these crazy boys!

Oh how lucky I am to be a nurse! Yesterday, Sam was whacked accidentally in the head with a baseball bat! He had a huge "goose-egg" on his forehead with a nice little split in the center! I will also be posting about Chap's accident today....Thank goodness for Dr. Bryant...he saves me lots of money on ER trips...

Alive and Well

Our sweet baby boy and his Daddy

Our furry boy and his Daddy! He makes a good pillow...such a sweet pup!

This child has THE most mesmerizing eyes I've ever seen!

Yes, I know...I haven't blogged in ages. Whats worse is that I don't even have a ton of pics to make up for my blogging absence! No need to make excuses...you all know...work, busy, kids, blah, blah, blah!
We are alive! And doing quite well!
Here we are on the brink of FALL! So exciting...I love this time of year.
Chap has his Halloween costume---an elephant or ebafunt in Chaps language. Chivas is doing well, Sam is enduring school...GOD bless him--hates it just like his father did. It's going to prove difficult in the future I'm afraid. Maybe Chap will be studious like his mother. And most know...I am soo lucky to work with Dr. Bryant and Dr. Browning at Trace Medical! The staff is amazing and I'm so blessed to fit right in!
Also, I must add news on my animals...Lilly Flowerspash is gaining weight at an alarming rate...most likely due to the 6 meals she eats a day. Don't worry...we are working on that. My love, Ty is showing his age lately. His coat is slowly being taken over with sinister little grey hairs...bless him:-( Don't know what I will do when he passes. Just the thought makes my heart ache.
Sharing my health concerns are a bit of a thorn in my side...all depends on the mood I'm in at the point being. As of Friday the plan Dr. Fredericks has made for me is to do 2 days of IVIG therapy at St. Dominics every 6 months...indefinately. I am content with this plan and am blessed to have the health that remains! PRAISE HIM! All other aspects of our little life are doing quite well.
OH...and I must end with...how about those BULLDOGS!

BIG BOY Sam

...Is riding his bike without training wheels!!!!

Carter-Cayson Engagement Party

Last night was Ben and Ev's engagement party at the always beautiful Alford Home. We had a blast! I'm super excited about the wedding and feel so honored to be a part of it! This is just a few photos from the night.

Boy's Best Friend

Sam and Ty have grown up together and just LOVE each other. I walked in Sam's room last night to check on him before bed and found Ty in the bed with Sam. It was so sweet...He usually sleeps in his kennel but we sometimes treat him to a "Ty's choice" night! And he chose to sleep with his Sambo. He stayed there all night until Sam woke up the next morning. Ty looks a little creepy with those shinin' eyes in the photos...but trust me...he's way less menacing than he looks! We love our pup...even when he stinks and steals food out of the kitchen!
