Ashley's Baby Shower!

Ashley,
I wish you nothing but the best and all the happiness this baby boy will bring. Please remember you have a big family who loves the both of you. We are here always.


Sadie Lady Steals the moment!


Ashley go lots of great gifts.


That boy will be best dressed.



OK, the cake decorations have a story. All I will say is that Publix is not as competent as I previously believed.

Cause for Celebration!!!

Me, Jen, Ashley, Stephanie, Lauren and Hollie

The Baby Turned 21!

My baby sister turned 21 Saturday! Congratulations Andrea!
Your a big girl now.
Saturday we all went to Orlando to celebrate! We started with dinner at Bahamas Breeze then ventured to City Walk and ended the (early) night at Howl at the Moon. I had a great time little one!

This is the epitome of Andrea.

Cooper loves PB&J!

At Pat O'Brian on City Walk.

Smokers!!! EWWWW

11:30 PM.......

And no 21st is complete without the birthday girl getting a little sick outside of Howl at the Moon. ( Sorry Andrea, Joey said you would want this picture. You know I love you.) :)

FYI: Andreas first "legal" drink was a Mojito.... Hurricane, shot, something, shot, liquid cocaine, tooter, tooter, something.....

Want to throw a shout out to Grandma....Thank you for watching Bailey and Cooper and Sadie and Mom this weekend!

I can see a Carol trait in Cooper here.


Great present Mom and Dad

What a look. What does it mean?

Hope you had a great birthday Cooper.

Aunt Melly loves you sooooo much!

Hungry?

The raw ingredient to a peanut butter and fluff sandwich... with a little added goodness

Could also be the sweet side of a Big Mac

That damn dog!

Do you remember the dog bed that Bailey kept eating the zipper off of? Well, after attempting to fix the bed more than twice, I said F-it! No zipper it is!

This is her new way to sleep.... inside her bed. What a weirdo!

Fish Fry!

Jeremey's mother, Laura, came to visit for a few days. We all had a great time!

A fish fry... Jeremey cooked and it was great.

Mom, Mike, Andrea and TJ all came for the festivities.

No Shittin' Ya!

I have spent 14 hours in front of my computer in the last 2 days!!!

I am taking 4 classes this summer, two of which are a measly 5 weeks long. This is really kicking my ass! I can only imagine how many hours it has been in the last 10 days...

Hence my explanation for the lack of posts.

Brief update:

I am doing an internship with The Department of Children and Families as an Child Protective Investigator. I get to go to peoples homes, who have allegations of abuse or neglect, and listen to the investigator interrogate. I really like it and hope to have a job there when I graduate.

When I graduate..... I shall be completed with UCF in December. On top of the massive amount of school work I have I also get to plan (stress) my graduation.

Last but defiantly not least, My Best Friend Lauren has moved away. Just saying it makes me tear up. Lauren and Hailie moved to Ft. Polk, Louisiana with Darrell and Cisco. I know I have not been a great friend the past however long and I have not attended many events, but I want you to know that I love you and want everything wonderful for you. I will miss you greatly but as you said, we get to talk for free!

Hollie too has moved to Jacksonville, to a naval base, with her husband and two daughters. I wish I could be around for this baby birth. I really enjoyed all the great times we all had together the past 3 year (in particular) and I look forward to more.

Capturing Little Miss Daisey

Although you can't see her she is there....

Yesterday Jeremey was mowing the backyard and he noticed there were two little eyes following him around the yard. Jeremey called me out to see what was going on. And would you know, there was a little alligator, Daisey, resting her head on the shore of our yard stalking Jeremey.

Now, I know that there are, from time to time, alligators in the pond but none that have come so close to the houses. So, I called Florida Fish and Game to come get Daisey and put her in a better place.

As you can see there was a man fishing for gator.

Come to find out there is not one but two gators, neither more than 4 feet. They were not caught but hopefully scared away.

Happy Birhtday!

It's Daddy's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Old Man!

Love you....

In Memory of

What a sad world we live in when Farrah, Michael and Billy are taken from us in a matter 48 hours!

They have all touched our life in one way or another. Whether it by us touching our self (Farrah), touching a friend (Michael), or just touching our cloths (Billy). You all will be missed!

Sigh....

my thoughts exactly.

Carol...Brutally Honest

"Melony, I can't talk and think at the same time!"

Walk for MS

Several months ago Jeremey and I joined up with my UCF Psychology club and participated the funraiser.
