Happy 8th Anniversary to us!!!

October 13, 2001

We're celebrating our anniversary today!! We're not going out to a nice restaurant or on a big trip....we're just at home taking care of the our kids and reminiscing about our big day when we started our lives together. Eight years ago our country had just suffered through the tragedies of September 11th. I, of course, was in the middle of planning all the last minute details of our wedding. After September 11th occurred, all of the tiny wedding details didn't seem as important anymore. The real things that mattered were family, friends and our faith in God. I am so happy to have married my very best friend and soul mate. I love you buddy!

Lil' Vols!

It's a Saturday in the Fall and you guessed it.....everyone around here is decked out in orange. We like to start them off early wearing the orange!!! It's probably humorous for those not from "these parts" but hey, we get a kick out of it! ha ha ha!!! Go Vols!!



A few Saturdays ago Justin went to the UT game and Sara and Miss Gabriella came over to visit and watch the game (well, we had the game "on" but I think we mostly talked the whole time and really didn't watch much at all!!). Ella and Drew are about 6 weeks apart in age and both had fun just crawling around and exploring. Madelyn loved having another little girl over!!

Ella is wondering what in the world Drew is "grunting" about!

Josh and his family came over a last weekend and we grilled out before the guys headed over to the UT game. Josh has 2 little guys now, Trence and Tripp. They are so cute!

Here is Drew doing what he loves best right now.....He LOVES to get into this one particular cabinet and pull all the water bottles out. I have no idea what he likes about it!! He's caught in the action right here!!
