More pictures

I can't resist adding more pictures! Sorry, the Mom in me just can't help herself. The first one is my Bill with Jay. Gosh, they look just alike and most of the time they act alike too (LOL). The second one is Jay and his sweet Christina. I really think he is dating the sweetest, nicest and most lovable young lady. We are truly lucky to have her as part of our crazy family.

Hump Day

It is another rainy day in Alabama. Seems like the lake will have to wait until Bill's back is feeling better. This is about day 6 or 7 with him being in a lot of pain. I've stopped suggesting medical help, now I'm just here to help.

Here is my favorite picture from Sunday's early birthday party. The tall one is my sweet Jay and the other gorgeous children are (left to right) Jack, Alex (we were celebrating his birthday too) Megan in the back (gosh is she beautiful or what?) and Ross. We had a wonderful time. I miss my sister already. I think I would really like just one day alone with her to do nothing but talk.

Early Birthday Celebration

My sister has decided that we all need to get together for my nephew's and my birthday. Alex's was a week ago and mine is not until next month but this looks like the last time we can all get together before school starts. I'm not looking forward to my birthday, so an early celebration isn't that exciting. I do look forward to seeing my sister and her family, I don't talk to her or see her nearly as much as I would like too. Plus, I get to see Jay, Christina and "Trooper" so that just makes today even more special. It is gonna be funny to see how Missy's dog, Rex, will act around Trooper. I hope they get along. Of course, I will drive everyone crazy taking pictures, but I don't care. Who knows, I may even get a few decent ones. Bill doesn't feel well, his back is bothering him and he isn't sleeping. I think he got into bed around 4:30 or 5:00 this morning. I hope he feels like going.

Wednesday

I joined another scrapbooking group today. http://www.treasuredscrapbooking.com/
It seems like a great group of ladies and I'm really looking forward to it. I don't scrapbook as much as I make cards lately but I need to get going so I can finish Jay's scrapbooks by December.

Not much going on around here today. I have hoping to get outside and work in the yards but the rains came early today. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm on my way to get a haircut. Hopefully, Bill will give his approval on this one.

Friday!

I'm not as excited about this friday like I usually am. Looks like I'll be at my aunt's funeral most of the day. She's my Dad's sister and they were very close. She has faught a very hard battle with bone cancer.

Tomorrow will be a crazy day. We are hosting a 90th birthday party of my mother-in-law. What started off as a small, intimate party is now up to almost 20 people. I'm hoping she will enjoy it. On a good note, Jay and Christina are coming to the party and they are bringing Trooper! Not that he is going to the party, he is coming to stay in our backyard with our Maggie while we are at the party.

Oops, it's late. Gotta go get ready.

Rainy Days and Monday

I guess I'm showing my age on my post title. "Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get Me Down" is a song title from the '70's by The Carpenters. WHOOO???

I guess it will be a quiet day around here. I've got to put the final touches on my mother-in-law's 90th birthday party. We are having a family get together on saturday. Hopefully, Jay will be able to make it too.

Have a great day.

Nothing

Absolutely nothing going on. I feel icky so today NOTHING!

Wet Wednesday

Looks like it could pour rain outside but I doubt we will get any. Just another hot and sticky day here in Hoover. I actually have NOTHING to do!!! Seriously, I would love to head downstairs and do a little scrapbooking this afternoon so that may be my plan. I did the few layouts posted a couple of weeks ago and realized that I have need some new supplies. Not much mind you, just adhesive and few different papers. Probably not any baseball papers because I do believe I have every one made. I need to get my bottom moving if I am going to get Jay's scrapbooks ready for his graduation. Looks like he will graduate in December!!! I am so proud. Did I mention that he took the Alabama State Troopers' test a month or so ago??? He did and looks like he did extremely well (okay, he was really #1 in the STATE!). Now, let's just hope there is a job out there for him.

Have a great day!

Jay and Christina

I guess I should know (or learn) how to put a picture in the extact place I want it in a post, but I have no clue. So . . . here is my Jay with his girlfriend Christina. They were attending a wedding in Guntersville, Alabama last Saturday night.

It's July!

Bill and I have been at the lake for a while now. It is nice up there, really nothing to do but relax and do a few home improvement projects. Jay, Christina and "Trooper" joined us yesterday. We all had a blast. Here is one of my absolutely favorite photos, Bill and Jay down by the water. . . .

Trooper and Maggie ended up playing in the water too. Maggie really just got her toes wet, but not Trooper, he was in up to his eyes!

I've done well keeping up with my workouts. Today was rest/stretch day so I get to pretty much take a day off!!!! I'm doing good on the workouts but according to the diet section, I'm terrible. I'm not sure I want to loose much weight, I just need to tone up.

Okay, enough goofying off. I've got to get busy with fun stuff like laundry and grocery shopping (oh joy!).
