Kennedy and Grammy making dinner...

And it was good!

Who turns their head when a picture is being taken?!?  Grandpa and Glenda, that's who!

My brother Addison, his daughter and Charlotte.  I told Charlotte to take notes, but as soon as I snapped this picture, she started making her dinosaur sounds again...oh, well! :)

My BFF Lois!!!!!  How excited was I to see her!  Do I dare post a picture of when we were younger?  Wow.  Sooo embarrassing!  We met when we were 10 years old.  We were in the same primary class--I had 5 brothers and sisters and when she came over it was a  zoo!!!  My little brother was always dressed up like a doll, my little sister was always being thrown through the air (much to her delight...) and my other two brothers were always wanting to play barbies with us (hee hee)  We loved drinking Sunkist, we loved Sunflowers and we loved to make blueberry pies.  My favorite memories with her?  Jumping in the pool with all of our clothes on.  Girls Camp and Youth Conference.  Our engagement photos.  Not just one, but THREE matching sunflower dresses.  I blame our mothers for this....   All the times I talked in my sleep.  And all the times I could never wake her up!  Although, I did figure out that she wakes up if you throw a stuffed animal at her head.... And who could forget the kitchen fire?  I think I need to do a whole post on this....  We've lived away from each other since we were 15--almost 15 years!  But we have only become better friends through time :)  It was so fun to see her!  We went antique shopping that afternoon and then came home to find this.....

The boys wanting to jump in the pool.  Oh, it was kinda warm outside, but the water was still 50 degrees!

So, I took pictures :)

Our four generations photo

And seafood gumbo!!!  Yummy :)

Jeremy of course!

My crazy brother Addison, he works for the county animal control and boy does he have some stories!  Animal hoarders, anyone?

I told you you'd want to eat her....

I want to eat her too! :)

The fascination with the smart phone begins....

Bridger and his Grandpa

And it was Grammy's 80th birthday!  We celebrated with red velvet cake.

Kennedy and her G.G.

And we were privledged to be here for Neo's blessing.  My mom made her GORGEOUS dress and she looked like such a doll!  It was great timing because my Grandpa and Grandma came down and my Grammy, whom I haven't seen for a couple of years.  It was great to catch up and visit with my Florida family!

My brother Sean, Addison and Mabulane and Neo, My Mom and Dad

I just love this picture :)
