I headed to Charlotte Friday after work to spend some time with my bro, s-i-l, and adorable niece! When J said Annabelle weighed in at 15lbs at her 4 mo checkup I was thinking she was still pretty small - was I wrong! Not small in the slightest :) She was full of smiles and giggles and very fun to be around! I'm looking forward to football season when I'll get to see a lot more of them!
Annabelle got to eat prunes for the first time Sat morning. Based on this expression you can tell what she thought of them!
She tries to help shove the spoon into her mouth which just results in a big mess!
Here she is all cleaned up with a full stomach chillin' while we ate breakfast.
We're hanging out on the couch :)
As I said - she is full of smiles.
As long as she's rested and fed - she's happy :)
I can't wait to see what she thinks of her cousins in Sept!

Friday Puzzle
Posted in on by
Name two outdoor sports or games in seven letters.
The first two letters of the first sports name are the same as the first two letters in the second sports name.
And the last two letters of the first sports name are the same as the last two letters in the second sports name.
Hint: The names do not end in "N-G."
What sports or outdoor games are these?
This one took me a little longer to figure out then that last one. I sat with 3 - 7 letter sports having absolutely zero letters in common for most of a day - then it clicked :)
Post your guess :)

Puzzle Time!

This is NPR's Sunday puzzle from last weekend, so the answer hasn't been announced - I think I have it though :)
Name a place where most people would like to go.
The name of this place contains the letter "V" somewhere inside it.
Replace the "V" with "T" and "H" to name a person you wouldn't expect to go there.
Who is it and what's the place?
Post your answer in the comments :)

Wedding Pictures!!

We were so blessed to have two amazing photographers and friends shoot our wedding. The pictures are spectacular and I can't get enough of them! I was looking at them a couple weeks ago and told Todd I wanted to do it all over again - he looked at me like I was crazy :) We had sooooo much fun with our family, the day was truly magical! I wouldn't change a thing if we did it all over again :)
I tried to narrow down some favorites to post - they are all great though - so go check out the albums:
Mark
Jere
My cousins and I with Annabelle :)
My mom is lookin hot!
The best big brother ever!
This picture is extra special because it captures my dad's wedding ring and Todd's mom's bracelet. We know they were both there in spirit celebrating with us!
First dance
Watching the video my mom surprised us with :)
My Uncle Mikey with Annabelle
Best friends
Hope you enjoyed!! :)

SMARTIES. There are fifteen in a roll. I eat them three at a time. In color coordinated sandwiches. Like purple-white-purple. Or orange-green-orange. It always works out. Sometimes I end up with yellow-yellow-yellow, which is ok, cause it still follows the rule :) I'm not sure why I do this - I just do - without even really thinking about it - always have :)
What are you candy (or other food) eating quirks? With a bag of M&M's do you always save one color until the end? Do you bite all the edges of chocolate off the KitKat before eating the wafers?

~~HAPPY FATHER'S DAY~~

Love you Daddy! This song always makes me think of you and makes me smile! Miss you every single day!TOUGH LITTLE BOYS ~ Gary Allan
Well I never once, backed down from a punch.
Well I'd take it square on the chin.
And I found out fast a bully’s just that,
And you’ve got to stand up to him.
So I didn't cry when I got a black eye,
As bad as it hurt I just grinned.
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into BIG babies again.
Scared me to death, when you took your first steps,
Well I'd fall every time you fell down.
Your first day of school, I cried like a fool, and
I followed your school bus to town.
Well I didn't cry when Old Yeller died,
At least not in front of my friends.
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into BIG babies again.
Well I'm a grown man but as strong as I am,
Well sometimes its hard to believe,
How one little girl with little blond curls,
Can totally terrify me.
If you were to ask my wife would just laugh,
She'd say, "I know all about men,
And how tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into BIG babies again."
Well I know one day I'll give you away,
And I'm gonna stand there and smile.
But when I get home and I'm all alone,
Well I'll sit in your room for a while.
Well I didn't cry when Old Yeller died,
At least not in front of my friends.
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into BIG babies again.
When tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into BIG babies again.
PS - Happy 1st Father's Day Bro! You're a natural ;)
Isn't she adorable!!

Wedding Weekend
Posted in on by
Way back when T and I first started talking about getting married and weddings - we knew we wanted to do something small with family - we wanted to spend quality time hanging out with our families - and we wanted our families to have a lot of time to get to know each other. I know some people were a little worried about 3 days of activities - and thought they'd be bored after day 1 - but I don't think that was the case. We had a wonderful time with our families leading up to the wedding! Thanks to everyone who took the time off work and traveled to be with us!!!! It was a very special weekend :)
Haley and Hannah loved some Annabelle :)
Thursday night, those who were in town headed over to Narrows to eat at Anna's. They serve a southern buffet dinner and have live bluegrass on Thursday nights. The pouring down rain outside didn't deter our fun inside! It was a really good time and a great atmosphere for first introductions and getting to know each other. More Anna's Pictures
We spent Friday afternoon at a place called New River's Edge. Pretty much a playground on the river about 20 minutes from Blacksburg. There's a huge pavilion where we served lunch. Horseshoes, Cornhole, Volleyball, really any game you want to play. A fire pit, tons of chairs to relax in, a gazebo. Canoes, Kayaks. Fishing. A lodge with real bathrooms. The place can't be beat. It felt kinda like a family reunion :) The owner Paul Moody could not be a nicer guy. Paul and his wife went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to fishing with Paul and more outings at 'The Edge'. More River Pictures
Friday night everyone came over to 101. Yvonne catered an amazing meal! It was fun to show everyone our house, to hear the kids screaming and laughing in the backyard, and to relax with everyone. By this time almost everyone was in town so it was a full house! More 101 Pictures
Sat morning some of the guys got up really early and headed over to Castle Rock in Pembroke to play in the Giles County Chamber of Commerce Tournament. They didn't come home with any trophies - but I think some won door prizes - and I know they had fun! While the guys were golfing - the women headed over to Classic Body Image Salon and Day Spa. We got massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, make-up, and hair done :) What a relaxing morning! Thanks again to Yvonne for bringing in our lunch, and mom for making the Mimosas :) Sorry I don't have pictures.
I don't think we could have found a better home base for the weekend. Inn at Riverbend was an amazing setting. The fog over the river every morning, an amazing breakfast, Linda the Innkeeper making sure all was good, the guys playing Tiger Woods Golf on the WII, a fun place to spend the weekend with family! More Inn Pictures
(Actual Wedding Pics coming soon)

New Light at 101!!
Posted in on by
Our memorial day weekend included some relaxed time with friends, fishing on the river with the dogs (pics soon), and some work :) Also 4 trips to Lowes :) T & I are quite proud of our electrical skills :) And the fact that we are still happily married after such projects :)
T's been adamant about replacing the eye sore light (before and after below) in the kitchen for months - I finally caved to buying a fan and am quite happy with the result :) See I listen - it just takes me a while to warm up to new ideas/change sometimes :)
The new pool light has been in a box under the pool table for almost a year. I've been putting off spending the money to pay an electrician to put a drop in the ceiling. Then I got the bright idea I could turn the cords into a plug and just run it across the ceiling and down the wall. I think the results are sweet!
Plus now we can play pool/ping pong after dark. It's hot! You need to come check it out!
