4th of July

We had a great 4th of July this year!

 Sweet Nicky ready for the festivities!

 The Babies in their flag bandannas

 That morning, we all went and had breakfast at Strawberry Hill, in celebration of Missy's birthday!  It was so good!  It was the first time we had ever eaten there and we will be going back!

 Me and my sweet Gracie :)

 And the family!  Happy Birthday Missy!  We love you so much and hope you had a great day!

 After breakfast, Josh and I headed to my Dad's house for a cookout.  We also had the C and C class over later that afternoon for a little pool party!

 Me and my lovey!

 Sweeties!

We had a busy, but fun filled with day with family and friends, celebrating our Nation's birthday!  I'm so proud to be an American!

Happy 4th of July Everyone!

Pool Time

I got to spend some pool time with one of my favorite families this weekend...The Holston's!  Josh had to work, but they came over and kept me company.

 Jameson splashing around :)

 Sweet girl

 Whoa..look at him go!

 Me and my bestest bud!!

 How sweet is she...I could take pictures of them all day!!

James, Kaci, Jameson and Aly-Sweet family!!  Love them.  Thank you guys for coming over to hang out with me in the pool.  I had lots of fun.  Lets do it again soon!

Girl's Night Out

Friday night, I met up with some of my L&D girls for dinner and a movie.  It was a much needed Girl's Night Out!  We had a great time!

 We ate at one of my favs, Outback.  And it was delish!

 Me and Melissa

 The whole gang

Chante, Me, Cassidy, Melissa and Crystal

After we ate supper, we went and saw "Magic Mike."  Yes, I admitted it, I saw it...LOL!  It was a fun night with a great group of friends!

Truck Load

Thursday, Josh, my Mom and myself headed up to Greenville, TN to see Greg.  We went for a visit and to get a table that he was giving to Josh and me.  Well, needless to say, we came home with a "truck load," as my title suggest.

 This guy was ready for a ride.

 And this girl....not so much!  She sat in the back seat with me for most of the trip.

 The pilot and co-pilot.

 They finally both gave up and took a nap!

 And this is what we looked like coming home.  We ended up coming home with 2 tables and 10 chairs!

 We may have looked like the "Clampetts," but we made it home in one piece...and I even drove some of the way home :)

 Our new dining room table

And our new kitchen table.  This one is just like our old one, only the darker colors (and we took the leaf out).  My brother is going to get our old one.  Thank you Greg so much for all of our new furniture.  We love it and appreciate it more than you'll ever know!!

Folly Beach Getaway

My Mom, Josh and myself went on a little weekend getaway to Folly Beach to see Shane.  Friday, my Mom and I got to hang out a little while before the guys joined us.  We spent the afternnon on the beach and for supper, she and I ate at a little restaurant called Rita's.  It was so good.  Shane met up with us after supper and Josh didn't get to come down till late Friday night after he got off work.

 Saturday morning, we got up early and ate at one of my favorite restaurants on Folly called, "The Lost Dog Cafe."  Their breakfast is so good.

                                          

 My sweet hubby and me.  After breakfast, we headed to the beach for the day.

 Josh and Shane chilling on the balcony!

 The beautiful view from our room.

 Folly Pier

Sunset over Folly

And another neat picture I took of the pier.

We had a great time together as a family.  It was a much needed getaway.  Thank you Mom for a fun weekend trip!

Movie Day

I kept Gracie Wednesday and we had a big time!  We went to the movies and saw "Happy Feet 2."  It was cute.

 Here is a pretty girl very excited to head to the movies!

 Gracie and me before the movie began.  We also got some popcorn and drinks!

 We had a little photo op after everyone left the theater!  She is so sweet.

 After the movie, we picked up some lunch and headed back to my house to eat and take a nap.  Getting the three of them all looking at the camera is quite the challenge.

 Ok, I settled for two of them! :)

 This picture and the next one of Chloe cracks me up.  They both looked like they were saying "Who me?"  I was telling Gracie, "keep your eyes open.."  haha, too cute!

 She is a mess!

Much better Chloe!

Nothing like a day with my sweet girl Gracie to make my day a little brighter!  Love her.
