Can't believe it's happening!

I'm letting this sweet little thing go 630 miles... approx 10hrs away... to visit his Aunt Tetta & Uncle Way-Wayne in Pearland, TX. Not to mention he will not be back for over a week!We started talking about the trip at Christmas, then again during our Spring Break trip. Yeah, he's been camping for a few nights, but he was only at the most 2 hrs away. Not 10 hrs! He's excited but also a little nervous. This week he spent a few days home with Dad and also got to spend the day with The Fannings.

Since he is leaving late tonight with Poppa Rick & Nana, I decided to let him come with me and spend the day. Just so I can spend that extra little time with him. I love my Buggy Boo!Jay on our walk!

And he just had to have his pic made with Goldie!
Special thanks to Brittni & Vicki for being patient and putting up with my Munchkin!

I love you Buggy Boo! Have a great safe trip!

Wow really!

That's all I can say about my lack of updating my blog. Sorry! Hopefully, I will not be as bad here on out.

Since my last post we've been busy with the same schedule. Work, summer camp, and daycare Every day.


We did however manage a family beach trip a few weeks ago. Sorry, I don't have many pics downloaded yet. I know. I'm so far behind.


Thanks to Mark & Lisa for lending their house in Ft. Morgan.


And we managed a family trip to Tannehill w/ O'Pa & O'Ma. But after a long day of walking this is how it ended

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY ANNA!!!!

A year ago we patiently waited for our Memorial Day baby to get here. It's amazing how she has came from being our little bundle of joy

to being this bouncing bundle of joy(Isn't this the cutest face to wake up to every morning???)

She is our little miracle princess! We love you Little Ms. Priss!

Happy Birthday Anna!

Mother's Day!

Well first of all, Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the Mom's!

I was lucky enough to spend the day with all of the important
Mother's in my life:
My Mom, Mom-in-law, Granny, Mawmaw, & My sister.
The only thing missing from a perfect day was Dave (he had to work)

After a day with the fam, my Dad took Jay fishing for the 1st time that he can remember.
After my dad giving him lots of advice and warnings, Jay got a bit. He about fell off of the deck. Words can not describe the pride and joy on either him or my Dad's face. And it just happens to be that this was the largest fish caught.

Here's how Anna & Charlie Hayes spent most of their day. Sharing Food! It's so fun to watch them together.

Weekend Pics

This was a nice weekend where for once we were not on the go constantly! Here's few pics of the kids!

This was actually Thursday night. My babies reading together, how sweet!

The Big News: Jay is now the Mets Catcher!
He did an awesome job! Didn't let any balls get past him!
He was so happy since his Daddy & Abicia both were catchers!

Sunday we were blessed enough to not have any bad weather. We had about an hour of rain, the sun came out and we had a beautiful afternoon.
Delaune and the boys came over for dinner, then the begging began. So after a little while, we let them outside. This pic doesn't do it justice! When they came in all three of them had to be stripped and put in the shower. After showers, I had to wash their clothes 3 times! There was so much trash/dirt/yuck attached! But to see their faces was priceless!

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!

Today Dave & I celebrate our Anniversary!

It's hard for me believe that we have been married for 9 yrs!
I am so blessed to be married to my best friend!


Thank you Dave for the being the best husband I woman could ever ask for!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Victoria Rowell

Monday , March 30, 2009 will be a day I will NEVER forget!

I got to meet/spend the day with Victoria Rowell. She is an actress/advocate/author/dancer etc. She is best known for her role as Dru on the Soap Young & The Restless. She visited UA campus as part of the Paul R Jones Lecture Series, which my dept helps sponsor.

Victoria is also a good friend with one of my friends/co-workers, Dr. Amalia Amaki! (Victoria just had to have her pic taken in front of the Dogwood tree!)

After her presentation, Brittni & I helped her & her fiance with her book signing. We had such a great time! Victoria is so down to earth.

Thanks Amalia, for giving me the opportunity to spend the day w/ "the" Victoria Rowell & her "Chauffeur"! One of the most amazing days ever!
