Thanksgiving!!

My favorite holiday is just around the corner....Thanksgiving!!! Although these days it often gets overlooked with football and Christmas we have so much to be thankful for! Over the past year God has blessed Bill and I in so many ways. Some things I am thankful are my husband, our families, and great friendships that have formed over the last year with Godly women and the opportunity to grow closer to him with their encouragement. These young ladies are such an inspiration and I am so glad that God has put them in my life. It is always great to fellowship, cry, laugh and share with them. I know there are several other things that I am thankful for but these rank pretty high on my list these days.

I know we are all busy right now but I encourage you next week to slow down. Take some time to really think about how blessed you are maybe you can even write them down. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and remember how truly blessed you are to be a child of God.

Oxford!

We traveled this weekend to watch the Tigers roll over the Rebels. Although I was excited about going to the football game I was more excited about spending the weekend with our good friends Amy and Phillip. We love seeing them and hope one day that we will live in the same town or maybe the same state. Thanks for letting us stay and being such great hostesses.

My parents also went to Oxford to celebrate my DAD's birthday. We had a great weekend and came home with another win. WAR EAGLE!!! :)

Must See!

Bill and I saw this movie yesterday and we absolutely loved it! :)

LEXINGTON

This past weekend Bill and I traveled to Lexington to watch Auburn play Kentucky. We went up on Thursday in order to visit with Bill's cousins Dale, Patsy and Kate and to also go to Keeneland (the horse race track). It was a great trip and we loved spending time with family! It was so nice to get away from Auburn for a weekend. Sometimes during football season it gets very repetitive around here.

The jockeys were so small.

This weekend Bryson and Braylon went to the Pumpkin Patch in Clanton. I made them matching shirts for them to wear. I thought they turned out pretty cute!! I just love these two little monkeys!!!

Auburn vs Clemson

We had a great weekend this weekend spending time with family. Both of our families came in town for the Auburn/Clemson football game and we tailgated together. It was a great game and so glad we won. We hope everyone had a great time!

Auburn vs Arkansas State

We had such a great weekend with great friends. Amy and Phillip came in for the football game. It was a good time filled with lots of laughs, food and of course a win. WAR EAGLE!! We love seeing great friends during football season.

We spent the rest of the weekend at the LAKE! It was great hanging out with new friends and also very relaxing.

It's HERE!!!!

The tickets have been delivered, the RV's are in town, and the tailgating starts today. These are all signs that football season is HERE! This place tomorrow will be filled with exciting Auburn fans who are looking forward to a great season. I can't wait!!!

Auburn Family Night!

Last week we had spend the night company!!! Bryson came to Auburn to go to the Athletic department family stadium night! He had so much fun playing on the field with Uncle Bill. He also thought it was pretty awesome to have the same number jersey as Bo Jackson.

T. Nicole

Today is a very exciting day for T. Nicole otherwise known as Taylor my younger sister. She has been working very hard designing game day dresses for Ellie Boutique. Here is one design that hit the store floor today. I am so excited and proud of Tay!! Shop Ellie to see more of T. Nicole designs!

Happy Birthday Braylon!

This cute little one turned one on August 5th but we celebrated his birthday this weekend!

He wasn't so sure about the cake but he loved the icing.

And this little one wanted to make sure he was around to help blow out the candles!!

Also Bryson had to show us his new backpack and lunch box. He starts school in a week and he is so excited! I can't believe it is already time for preschool! Bill and I love these two more than words can express!!

Where have we been....or where have we not been!

In June I taught these sweet girls dance at Moore's Mill Club. It was so much fun and they were precious.

We spent the fourth of July weekend with the Baggett's on the Tennessee River. It was nice to get away and enjoy a little R and R!

Bill even got to do some of this!

Ross Bridge is where we spent our one year anniversary. I can't believe it has already been a year and it sure has been a fun one. I am looking forward to the many more years to come. At Ross Bridge we played a little golf or should I say Bill played some golf and I drove the cart. It was a very fun weekend.

After Ross Bridge we headed straight to the beach with some really close friends. It was great! We ate at some great restaurants and also soak in some rays! I am already looking forward to next year's beach trip.

We finished up our summer traveling this weekend. We went to Florence for a wedding and got to spend the weekend with these great people! The men played golf and the girls relaxed at the pool. It was lots of fun and was a great way to end the summer!

Miss Alabama

This past weekend was the Miss Alabama Pageant. I went up to Birmingham on Wednesday and stayed until Saturday to watch my baby sister Taylor compete. Several family members came in to town and we had a blast shopping, eating out and watching Taylor perform. She did a fabulous job and got 3rd runner up! She won about $6,000 dollars to further her education. I am so proud of you Taylor!!!
