Chad's loves photoshopping...

I took this photo for Mother's Day 2005 on the beach.
It was a gift for my friend Amy (her girls are pictured).
From small to big:
Sydney, Anna, Kaitlyn, Dera
Chad was playing around on photoshop and turned this photo
into a metal plate look.
Thought it was cool and shared it with yall.
They grow up so fast.
We need to go take another one just to compare!

Sick again...

It is Memorial weekend and I am bogged down with Strep throat and sinus issues that have kept me awake all night. Seriously. Because I loathe breathing with my mouth open I refuse to open so I can sleep. Yes, I realize this is a problem and that I am going to have to give in and open my mouth to breathe while I sleep. I am pretty miserable. My bro-in-law is here to pick up the girls and take them to Meridian for a week or so. Hopefully then I can rest. I hate that their summer is starting out with me being sick AGAIN. I was just starting to feel better from the last crud, ready to tackle house projects to get it ready for inspection from Katrina mess, and especially work on the old church pew my maw-in-law got for me that I have been wanting for like ever! Nope, not today or tomorrow...rest is what they say...I am tired of being in bed. I am tired of being sick. I realize I am being a baby. But I wanna get in our pool we put up and float. I had been working out in it at night. It makes jogging much easier on my belly fat. It is too dark for anyone to see jiggle so I have been running laps. Running laps until I caught Chad's cold just a day after he went back to the boat...hmm...and why did my cold turn into Strep and his did not. So not fair. He is all but over it. Well, I had better go lay down, AGAIN...maybe sleep will come....

Pirate party! Ahoy!

 
Chad and I went to a Pirate themed birthday party for our friends. It was fun to dress up and act silly. Chad of course, had on shorts and flip flops...what you see is all I could get him to wear. He was a good sport though and had more fun then I think he thought he would. My costume was too big and I kept having to keep it in place all night. LOL! Good times!

Dera's graduations pictures...

 
 
 
 
These are Dera's graduation pictures. We would have taken more but didn't know our battery was low until it was too late. We were very proud of her. Our baby is on her way to High School..wow, time flies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is us putting up a pool in the backyard. The bird's nest is in our Grapefruit tree. Sweet!

Dera is growing up...

Well, today my baby graduates from Jr. High. I think about when I was 14 and what all was going thru my head and worries begin to flood my heart. She is growing up. We took her to Florida for fun in the sun. Check out where we stayed. www.navarrebeachcampground.com We really enjoyed it. Yes, I know I am behind on pics. Chad is home right now so I will get him to link them on here. And yes we will take some of the graduation. Her dress is so cute. It is a strapless sun dress with a vintage feel. Very pretty with her red hair. I am so proud of her. More to come....
