Mountain Vacation 2009

We took a family vacation to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, Tennessee. There were fourteen of us, and we had a wonderful time. We rented a cabin, cooked out, relaxed and just had fun. We did the Dixie Stampede, Dollywood, got some shopping in and ate at some really good restuarants. We all played goofy golf one night and had the best time. Carter loved it, he got a hole-in-one, and was so excited, it was all he talked about. It was just so nice to get away, and the mountians were a beautiful place to get away to.

USM Spring Game 2009

Well, let see....We attempted to go to Southern's spring game . I got really sick and we had to leave. But here of a few pics of us getting ready to go, and some of Kaitlyn, Caden and few of their friends.

Spring Break 2009

This year for spring break we went with our good friends Tommy, Robin, and Manze Ball, and Lexie Teel to Mexico Beach, Florida. The weather, the ocean, the food, everything was wonderful. We had the best time, just relaxing in the sun. It was so nice just to get away for a little fun. We love the beach and can't wait to go to it very soon.......

Kaitlyn's First Car

Jason bought Kaitlyn her first car.....she got a 2002 Nissan Maxima. She was so excited and did not expect it at all. She had no idea that she was getting it and she was soooo surprised.

Valentine's Weekend 2009

We had a wonderful and busy weekend for Valentine's. On Friday night, we went to Vicksburg to see Dr. Zarr (of course!) with our friends, Tommy and Robin Ball, Steve and Ladonna Whitney, Reggie and Michelle Pennington, and Whitney Hurd. Whitney's husband is in the band, so she gets to hang out with us. We had a great time, as always....... And, on Saturday night, we went with our friends Roy and Susan Robinson to a draw down at their church. It was the first time that we had ever been to one, and we had the BEST time..... Cannot wait to do it again next year. Jason was his usual romantic self, he sent me a dozen red roses to work, and some other gifts....... It was a WONDERFUL weekend!

Kaitlyn's Showchoir Dinner Show

Yesterday we went to Northeast High School to a dinner show for Kaitlyn's showchoir, known as the Gold Horizons. It was a very nice dinner and the showchoir performance was really good. They got to perform in their new school Performance Arts building which is really nice. The showchoir will be starting their competitions this Saturday, and will be competing every weekend till March. In March they will be traveling to Nashville, TN to compete in the Nationals. Kaitlyn has been in showchoir since she was in the seventh grade, and she loves it. She does an amazing job and we are so proud of her.

My First Hunting Trip

I went with Jason on my first hunting trip. And, I have to say, it was FUN...... Caden decided that he did not want to go, he had made plans with a friend. Jason really wanted to go, so I offered to go with him. Not really thinking that he would take me up on my offer, but he did. And, I was glad. I kept thinking what have I got myself in to, having to get up at 4:45 in the morning and sitting out in that cold weather. But, I made it, and I stayed awake the entire time. Once, I got in the woods, it was exciting sitting there with the anticipation that maybe I was going to get to see a deer come out. Unfortunately, we didn't see anything, but it was fun just being there and being with Jason.
