Iron Bowl 2008

What a sad day.....What a sad game... Anyway, we had a great time this weekend with our friends at the game and on Friday night. Our friends Karen and Alex came from Atlanta to spend the weekend with us and go to the game. We had a great time. Steven is looking forward to next Saturday in Atlanta when he goes to the SEC Championship. I'll be at Bliss Spa having a wonderful day while he is cheering on the Tide. Enjoy the pics!!

More Thanksgiving Pics

Here are some more pics from Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving with the Joneses and VanEttens

Mom had thanksgiving at her house for us and Jere's family. We had a great time!!  There was plenty of good food and fun. The kids especially had fun since Jere's grandchildren, Areilia and Benjamin were there. Also, Jere's son Jon brought his girlfriend Kelly and her daughter, Mia. Jere's daughter, Dawn( mom to Areilia and Benjamin) was there too. We missed Scott and April and the kids this year. They had Thanksgiving with the Langs and some coworkers that don't have family in the states. Gracie and Mac picked carrots from Mom and Jere's garden and had a blast. Oh! I almost forgot that Lesley's sister, Kelly and her boyfriend,  Matt were also there. We had a total of 18 folks for Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful and fun day. It felt great to all be at Mom's for the first celebration since Dad's passing. 

Mac Love

Mac is my nephew who loves the Crimson Tide like his daddy and Uncle Steven. Steven, Chuck, and Mac went to Tuscaloosa on Sunday for a Big Al club event where Mac got to tour the stadium, play on the field and tour the locker rooms. According to Steven, Mac had a great time and was on cloud nine. Enjoy the pics!!!!

Mom is engaged!!!

We are so excited!!!! Jere proposed to mom last night at his surprise birthday dinner. We all met at Buttermilk Hill Restaurant in Sylacauga to surprise Jere for his 60th birthday. Well, he trumped mom with the proposal!!!! Enjoy the shots from the exciting night!!!!

Too many illnesses for one week!!!!!

Well, I spoke too soon. I was bragging at school the other day how I rarely get sick. Well, then the you know what hit the fan. Sunday night, a week ago, I was up all night with the throw up virus. I went to the doc Monday and got a phenergran shot and some other stuff. This illness was really bad timing since it was the first day of my literacy block student teaching. Then, this week, I thought I just had bad cold. Well, Monday at school, I felt as if I could fall out at any minute. I went to the doc today and lo and behold, I have walking pneumonia!!!!!  My sweet doc told me if I had let this go, I would have ended up in the hospital by the weekend.  I did get two shots and some good meds so maybe I will be well enough to go to the Bama/Miss. State game this Sat. I really want to go because Tori and Bryan will be there and I think it will be fun to hang out with them. Anyway, please keep us in your prayers and hopefully I will make a fill recovery!!!!  Maybe Steven will stay well. 

Alabama Homecoming

Yes, It's kinda sad, another Saturday in Tuscaloosa. In a way, it's fun since the Loves come to Bama games due to Chuck and Mac's love for the Tide. Anyhow, we had a great time with everyone. Steven insisted that Gracie visit sorority row as he tried to change her from an Auburn fan to a Bama fan. Even though she said the houses were nice, she still loves Auburn!!!! We took a pic in front of the AOTT Homecoming display. Steven made sure to get the Alabama part of the display in the pic. I told Gracie she is a mature Auburn fan since she is willing to come to Tuscaloosa and weather the Bama games. Steven also brought his friend Shaun, who is from California and had never been to a Bama game. He had so much fun!! Check out the pics from the game. We missed the Weavers and the DeWaards. They stayed home since they are going to LSU next weekend.
