A Sad Goodbye

Today we had to say goodbye to one of our dear friends, Jeremy "Bull" Bullington. He was such a great guy and we will miss him terribly. We did kind of lose touch during the past several years. He got married and moved away to Hazel Green (I think) and everyone just got caught up with their own lives. Which I know is going to happen. Everybody gets older and then there just comes a time when you realize we're not in high school anymore. There were times I can remember vividly like when Bull came over to the house just about everyday, but he was always welcome. He was good company. He was a groomsman in our wedding. He was there at the hospital when Alyson was born. Bull would've been 30 on March 1. Please just remember his family in your prayers. Specifically his wife (Shannon), his dad & step-mom, his mom & his brother.

What A Weekend!!

We had such a great weekend. During this time of year I always try to cram as much as I can into the weekends. Why, I don't know-but it's my absolute favorite time of the year. Friday night we went to a church in Decatur for "Christmas Now & Then" and out to eat with our friends. It was GREAT!! (Thanks Patti for the invite.) Saturday Greg had to work until 12:00 and as soon as he got home the girls and I took off to the movies. We saw Enchanted, which was a really good movie. The girls had such a good time. We spent the rest of the day shopping which is always fun for me. A lot of people you couldn't pay to get out in the mall this time of the year but I'm all about it!! After our loaded day of shopping, we went to the hospital to visit my friend who just had her 3rd little baby girl. She's absolutely precious. Sunday we all went to the "Living Christmas Tree". We went to the special shorter version that's especially for kids. I loved watching it, it's so pretty. It kept Bryson's attention pretty well too.

I also wanted to show off our newest pictures. My mom decided a few weeks ago to have the whole family's pictures made. I think they turned out pretty good. Yes, all the guys have matching shirts-awwww!! Me, my mom & Jason have not had a picture made together since like 1987!! I think it was time to have one made.

Basketball Girl

Alyson is playing basketball for the first time this year. She's pretty good at it, too. She could be a little more aggresive, but she's having fun at it.

Can We Have A...

...Moment Of Silence? The gingerbread house that is in these pictures is no more. Apparently mama did not "cement" the thing down well enough and therefore it totally fell apart about 5 minutes after these pictures were taken. The kids did have a great time decorating it. Bryson was just eating the candy, but participating, nonetheless.

Girls' Christmas Pictures

These were taken at school, therefore, I was not there to "direct" them!! :) They're pretty cute though.

My Boy Is Two!!

I just cannot believe my baby has turned two. What a mess he is. He's into absolutely everything and is definately ALL boy. We love our little blonde haired tot and feel so blessed to have him. Here are some pictures from his b-day party. He got lots of boy toys including tools, which he loves.

Only My Abby

I had to post these pics of Abby. The other afternoon I heard her hollering "MAMA" with just a little bit of whimpering in it. Well, I went into the bathroom and this is what I saw:

She had somehow gotten her pants leg stuck on the cabinet door knob. She wasn't in any pain so of course instead of helping her right away, I said "stay right there, I have to go get my camera!". (like she was going anywhere)

In case you are wondering, yes we have some major renovations to do in our 1975ish bathroom!!
