A Night Out...

We went to the Alluvian two nights ago for a little get-a-way with Josh and Lauren Ginn. Josh is in law school with Taylor. We went to Gardenias (sp?) for supper (where the amount of food that we consumed will make you sick!!) but it sure was yummy. We missed Banks terribly but it was fun to have a night out.
Josh and Lauren...who were celebrating their one year anniversary!!
Christina and Lauren..."Hey Lauren, where are your eyes??"
Taylor and Josh loved this picture of duck hunting in the Delta!!

Merry Christmas 2007

I do not know why i only have a couple of pictures from Christmas. I guess I was so busy opening...i forgot to take pictures. We had a fabulous Christmas. It is so much fun to watch Banks. Eventhough he does not understand that whole Santa concept now, he loved seeing everyone and opening his MANY presents! Here is the precious tricycle that Neise and Poppy gave him. He loved "scooting" all around the house on it. He is showing it to Papa!
Mc (my brother) gave Banks his first four wheeler.You push a button and off he goes! So fun!!
Zoom....out the door!!
Here are Mimi and Papa with their great-grands! (Clark, Mimi, Banks, Papa, and Hadley)

Christmas in Canton

We went to Canton last night with Taylor's family to see all the lights. Both of the boys loved the lights. I think we will make that a family tradition to do every year!
Zee Zee, Pop, and Aunt Lucy stood in line (while we went into the animated museum) so we could all ride on the fire truck. Look in the background and see Julie, Tommy, and Wyatt.
Taylor, Banks, Tommy and Wyatt had a great time on the careousel (sp??)
Zee Zee and "her boys"!!

Where is Rudolph?

Here he is!! Neise got Banks this Rudolph nose while she was in Las Vegas. He loves it. He kept putting it on his nose, my nose and Neise's nose!
Taylor and Pop went to Montgomery Island hunting last weekend so Banks and I hung out with my mom and dad. Sunday after church we went to Canton to see Santa Claus. Well, Santa was not there but Neise and Banks rode the carousel. He loved it. Thanks Neise and Poppy for keeping us intertained since Taylor was out of town.

Merry Christmas

Here is the picture that we used for our Christmas card. We finally got one that Banks was looking at us! It only took Taylor putting a bear on his head dancing around...to get his attention. We hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

How many picture does it take....

..to get a good picture for a Christmas card? None of these made the "cut". Either I did not like the background or Banks was not looking. These are just three of the MANY that I took. You will have to wait and see which one made it.....

Praise the Lord!!

Here are Banks and Pawpaw at one of Hayes' soccer games. Pawpaw went to the doctor two weeks ago because the noticed that he was tireder than normal. The doctor did some test and scheduled a heart cath. Well, when they got in and examined his heart...they foudn three blockages...so next step..triple bypass surgery. He went into the hospital TUesday (after Thanksgiving) for the surgery. We all went to Greenville. After about a 5 hour surgery and a phone call from the nurse that there were really 4 blockages, Pawpaw got out of surgery with quadruple bypass surgery. He came through GREATLY! The surgerons said that his "insides" looked like that of a 55 year old (He is 82!!) He has been in ICU since the surgery just for monitoring but is doing remarkably well. We know the reason is because all of the prayers people were saying for our family. THANK YOU SO MUCH! You will never know how much it means to our family. Hopefully, Pawpaw will be in his own room soon then come home to recover. BJ has been so strong through all of this. Next April (I think) they will celebrate 59 years together. Thank you BJ and Pawpaw for being such a role model for all of us. We love you very much.
BJ and Banks at the soccer game!
