AL Christmas Get-Together

I finally found my disc of the AL Christmas Get-Together. I had taken it with us when we went to FWB last time to share with my sister, but could not remember where I had laid it when we got back home. Phillip found it in the cracks of the truck. I knew he was good for something, hehehe!! He always finds whatever I am missing it seems and most of the time I can do the same for him. It's interesting how that happens.

Enjoy the pics.

Other than the wedding pics this is about as updated a pic of Phillip and me as it gets. And in all honesty I didn't care for how my hair got fixed for the wedding. I liked how the back looked, but the front was not my favorite, but I thought no one will pay attention to me cause this is all about Michael and Ashley. So I didn't make a fuss over it. It wasn't bad, but just not my style. I think it made me look bigger. Anyway, hopefully I will have more pics of the wedding soon.




I thought my mom would enjoy these 2 pics with Grandmother and then one of me and Crystal. They turned out really nice.

I absolutely love this picture of Crystal and her son, Josiah. They take really good pics!

Test Run



Christmas decorations are a favorite around this house. Phillip and I love putting them up. Taking them down is actually faster than putting them up so it's no big deal to put away either. Then on Christmas Day my family came to our house in Panama City. I got a great shot of most of the guys playing poker I think, Grandaddy, my adopted brother Gabe, and my dad. Later I got a good shot of Josiah opening his presents from Uncle Phillip and Aunt Deedle. One of the puppies decided to help too:)!!






The day after Christmas we let Gabe play with his new skates we got him on our driveway. Phillip and I both got out our skates as well. We had lots of fun. And then we took him to the park with Grandma. Grandma and Phillip played Cribbage while I swung Gabe around on the playground toys.










January 1st was when Crystal and I threw a Bach. Party for Ashley, our new sister-in-law. The 2 of us actually made the cake. It was french Vanilla with Crystal's own recipe for icing, very yummy:)!! I made one of the mini glasses look like it was spilling out onto the cake. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed it.






The wedding of the new year finally happened on Jan. 3rd. I don't have all the pics downloaded as of yet, but my Meme, stepmom's mom, gave me a few and I scanned them to share. She got one of Phillip's Parents, the Hendersons, and me in my bridesmaid dress. The wedding was absolutely beautiful!

Blog Newbies

These are our babies Sadie, Tucker, and Regan. The 2 pups are Chinese Pugs and the bigger one is a lab/retriever mix. They are so much fun! They keep us busy and keep me company when my hubby is deployed, on TDY, or training trips. Regan, bigger doggy, is almost 12 years old. The pugs are almost a year old. We dressed them up for Chirstmas. Sadie was the elf, Regan the reigndeer, and Tucker was Santa:)!!



This is my sister, Crystal, and her son, Josiah.

This is a picture of me and my very cute nephew, Josiah. He is only 2 and a half, but looks like he is going on 5 or so.

This is one of my 3 brothers, Michael, and his new wife, Ashley. The picture is from when they were dating. I think it is from before they even got engaged. They got married Jan. 3rd. We all love her to death. They are a perfect match for each other. When I get pictures downloaded from the wedding I will post them. It was gorgeous!

Phillip, my hubby, just got a major award for the military. He made NCO (Non Commissioned Officer) of the Year for his squadrin as well. Now he is going up for NCO of the Year for the Group, then it goes up to the Wing and so on. I am so proud of him. This is a major honor. It takes a lot of work and diligence to recieve this award. He joined the Air Force in Dec. of 2000 and he joined the EOD career field, which stands for Explosive Ordinence Disposal. That is the Bomb Squad for the Military. He loves it. He is a Staff Sgt as of right now, but is going up for Tech Sgt. next month, very exciting time for us.

Well, this is not all of my family, but don't have any more pictures at this moment. Lost a lot of pics from my old computer crashing. Will add more of them when I get them though.
