Destin in October

Really...there is no other place I'd rather be than Destin in October. It's absolutely beautiful this time of year. The water was as calm as the lake and crystal blue. It wasn't too hot and NO ONE was there! It was an amazing trip!

My mom and I took the girls down...since Kimbell had school and Joe had to work. I'm so glad I took this "Girls Trip"! They loved the beach...of course they would they're MY girls and we stayed out for hours at a time. I hated leaving even though I had missed my fellows. Mom is staying at her condo for another week...can you blame her!?

I took 7 rolls of film in just 3 days! crazy! I posted some photos from the digital camera that I thought were cute!

Enjoy!

*BTW- Rona, Aren't you so proud of me for covering up like I did. I know I'm not such a young chick anymore...no more frying in the sun for this hun!(:

Another Corks and Canvas Night

We had another fun night at the Auburn Chamber painting. The Angel painting we were doing was beautiful! What's fun is everyone puts their own personality and style into it so everyone comes out with something different...even though we're all doing the same one!

Tamara, Jodi and I all catered ours to our children which was fun and different. I think we were concentrating so hard though we didn't even have any wine! We were there for 3 hours...but it flew by! I thought the paintings all turned out great and we had a ball as always! Hope to get a bigger group up next time!(: Come on ladies don't be timid!(:

The Missing One

OK, I saw this picture...thanks for letting me steal it, Barclay..... and couldn't resist. See that empty chair? That's where I was suppose to be Saturday! But, Noooooo. My hubbie has to be a Bama fan and therefore tailgating for an AU game would be betrayal on his part.):

I had to take this opportunity to say next time that seat will be filled with my big, white, well cream colored bottom.(: Until next time ladies.

*BTW- I will wear orange when I come because you ladies need to vary it up a little.(: jk

**VERY LAST THING- I would've had to trade places with Jodi to get my good side. I know yal wouldn't mind though!

Auburn, Puppies, and Bath Time!

What do all these things have in common? Our weekend!

First, on Saturday Kimbell had his best buddy and cousin, Will, come over to play some soccer/football/baseball etc. They had a ball since Kimbell wore his Bama jersey and Will had on Auburn..they were enemies from the get go!

Later, I took the girls to do a little shopping at TT and see cousin Judi at my mom's house right down the street. She's my second cousin and she brought her precious puppies, Ellie Dyas Wells and Sugar Dyas Wells. They really are PRECIOUS!!

Lastly, I bought the girls these bath crayons at the bookstore and so we had fun bathing them and coloring all at the same time. It really was a busy yet fun weekend, despite Auburn losing. I also did really miss Jodi and Paul's tailgate, but maybe next time.):

Come back soon, Judi, and bring those doggies!(:

War Eagle... Kimbell Nappier Style!

Some friends of ours had their last name put on their son's football jersey. I thought that was so cool...so did Kimbell.... so we did it, too!(: Yes, we're copy cats! Anyway, it was only a couple dollars and we took the jersey to that Stamp store DT. I thought it turned out really cute! Kimbell looks so handsome in it so I wanted to share the picture with everyone. Have a great weekend and War D@#e Eagle!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Movies and Martinis......

......well, actually JUST martinis because the projector was broken at the theatre so we couldn't go see the movie, "The Women". We were a little disappointed, but we went to Amsterdam Cafe instead and had a really good time! It was packed , but we sat outside. That's always a good thing because we tend to all talk over each other and get a little loud.(: We were so proud of Kim (last picture) because she showed up after work to come hang out with us. Anyways, enjoy the pictures...until next time, ladies.

BTW- Heather, pretty girl in the purple, came straight from a wedding where she was a bridesmaid...like her dress!?(: JK! Heather...we love you!

Oh....thanks, Molly, for joining us! We love you, too!

Spirit Day at PKWY!

Just wanted to share some photos from Spirit day at Parkway. The kids had a ball.....the parents were worn out! That just about sums it up! My favorite photo is the one where Mally and her friends are walking up to see Aubie and they're holding on to each other for dear life!!!! It was hilarious!

Enjoy!

Soccer Tournament in Dothan..... Whew!

We had a soccer tournament in Dothan yesterday. It was fun of course, but also EXHAUSTING for the little ones. We actually had Becky, our sitter, keep Claire at home, but took Mally. We started out with a bang...literally...we had a flat tire! Now, Joe says he knows how to change one, BUT we opt to take my mom's car instead.(:

Kimbell did great and scored 1 out of 3 goals for the second game...the first game was a little slow for everyone. It was sooo hot, too! We're all a little burned. Will's team did great and won both games! Go Will! Did I mention it was HOT!?

Anyway, glad to be back in Auburn. War Eagle!


BTW- If the slide goes out on you then click the small x in the right hand cornor.(:

The Cast is Off!!!!

After 5 weeks, the brace is off! As most of you know this is the third contraption that has been on Mally's little left arm since she broke it. She has had two casts (pink and blue) and a splint. When she went today to get it looked at by her MD they took an x-ray and you can actually see where it was broken and healed.

I didn't realize that is was such a bad break. We are lucky to have only had it on 5 weeks...I guess it's all the milk she drinks!(: It DOES do the body good! She still guards it...I guess out of habit, but I am so glad she is happy and healed! Yippee!

BTW- It must be something going around our street because she is the third child in a couple months to break an arm. Manning, we're thinking about you. Get better soon.

Mally's Oil Painting

My mom had an oil painting done of Mally in Destin. The finished results are beautiful! We both cried when we saw it. It amazes me that someone can do such a marvelous work of art! I know this piece will be in our family forever....when I'm long gone!! Mally kept saying "That's me, Marme!!!" She's going to keep it for now...I feel it's way to fancy for my house.(:

We want to do one of Claire on the beach next year and Kimbell ASAP! He's growing up so fast! If anyone wants to know who did it just let me know...I don't have all the details, but I know it took a while to finish. It was such a wonderful surprise for me...I will be eternally grateful!(:
