Hair!!!

Well I had to do something with my hair, it was getting bad!! So I went to get it colored and cut!! I love it!!!

The Answer is.....

62 pairs of shoes

SHOES!!! A guessing game!!

Ok so most of you know I LOVE shoes now!! Well I usually just throw my shoes in the bottom of one of my closets because I could never find shoe racks that would work for my closet that were not just crazy expensive. Well when mom and dad moved they did not need the nice little shoes racks they had because they have built in ones (I really like their closets). So I got the old ones!! YEAH!! Well I say all this because last night I pulled ALL my shoes out of the closet and put my new shoe racks in and then put up ALL my shoes. It is so pretty and organized now. Imagine this I CAN FIND MY SHOES NOW!!! Well I did not realize how many pairs of shoes I really had until I counted them last night. I threw away 7 pairs, put up 3 pairs for a yard sale, and still have…..



This is the pile after I pulled them all out of the closet!!




Wait for it.....





This is the after I put them all up!!




Can you guess the how many???
I am not going to tell you how many for a few days to see if anyone can guess the number!!

Have fun!!

Tip for everyone to remember!

Ladies (and those others that might use lipstick) NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use your deposit slip to blot you lips!! Yes I had a lady give me a deposit slip in the drive thru with fresh lipstick on it, GROSS!!! It looks as if she had used it earlier then right before she pulled up used it again!! Below is a picture:

In the Heat of the Day!!

So you hear all these stories of it getting really hot in your car during the day (you can bake cookies on your dashboard and things like that). Well just a little FYI, NEVER leave a can of coke in your car when it is going to be HOT because it will EXPLODE!!!!!! YES, YES I do know this from experience!!! I got in my car yesterday after work and it smelled funny, so I looked at my passenger side seat and there was red everywhere!! It was a can of Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr Pepper (they do not offer this in TN but don't worry you are not missing anything) which is a deep red color and it went everywhere. All I could do was laugh!!!! I think I laughed all the way back to Murfreesboro (I was in Smyrna working). I could not find a car wash that was open with a carpet cleaner so I just went to K-Mart, picked up some carpet cleaner and a towel. I got alot of it up but I am going to have to get them cleaned and still not sure that it will all come out!!! My car still smells like chocolate cherry. So hope you enjoy the pictures and get a good laugh out of it like I did. I still crack up at the pictures.


NICE!!!!!!

This is the can that exploded!!

This is what my front seat looks like now!! It is going to be hard to get out!!

This is my tags that I had sitting in the seat!!

Notice the red little spots everywhere! It was all over the window and all down the door. Oh by the way this is the drivers side door. It shot that far!! I am telling you it was everywhere!

Weekend Get-Away

So we went to a cabin out near Center Hill Lake for the weekend just to get away and relax. We did not go down to the lake but had a great time hanging out at the house playin some pool, watching movies, and playin some games. Here are some shots of the guys playin pool:

On Saturday night we shot fireworks off. I got some cool pictures because it was so dark out there.

This is what happens when you hang out with the kidos all evening!!

4th of July Party!!

We had a our 4th of July party at John's house this year! We had a blast. I got off the plane from TX and went straight to the party. It was a long but very fun day!! Ricky made this sparkler bomb with lots of sparklers and some firecrackers taped to the outside. If you would like to see the awesome video of the night visit http://rickystyx.blogspot.com/.
So here are some pictures from the night:

The sky was amazing!!



A blue smoke bomb, it was a pretty color!

The sparkler bomb!!!

John on stand-by with the water hose just in case!!

Ricky lighting the sparkler bomb!!

It takes a minute to burn down to the excitement!

This is all you can see once the fuse hit the other sparklers!!!

It happened so fast and this was what was left!!

Trip to TX!!

So I went to TX to visit Janna, Jeremy, and the kids last week. I flew there on June 28th and came back on July 4th. I had not flown in like 11 years so I was kinda nervous but all was good!! On the way there we did have to fly down into Mississippi around Memphis and Arkansas because there were bad storms that day. It was a rather bumpy flight for about the first hour but I put my IPOD on and watched out the window!! Let me tell you, God's creation is amazing!!! Clouds are so cool, but all so different!! On the way back we had to fly back down into Mississippi because of a bad storm in Arkansas and we ended up having to fly through some storm clouds. The pilot had us look out the window so we could see the huge storm cloud over AR, it was amazing!! I love flying!! My neck was sore because I had my head turned looking out the window the whole trip!

I had the best time in TX!! Janna and I had a great time talking and just hanging out!! I had a great time taking action shots of Jadyn playing soccer. She is so good!! Little Cameron is getting so big, he is so funny!! Here are some pictures from the week!! Hope you enjoy!!

Fun times on the farm!!

Well last Saturday after work I drove to Lawrenceburg for my great Aunts 80th birthday party and to get a few things from my grandma's house that I wanted. We had a good time but it was very hard to see my Nanny's house all in an uproar and things missing. I got a few things like: a quilt rack, a cool shelf from the room I always stayed in, some vases, a old Polaroid camera from the early 70's (really cool) and a few other nic-nacks. After the birthday party we all went back to the farm and just hung out. We were all outside with the kids so I decided to pull out the camera. Here are some pictures from the day!


From the left (Birthday Girl) Aunt Jimmie, Aunt Helen (standing), and Aunt Easy. (little Nanny in heaven watching down on all her sisters)

The clouds were so fluffy looking that day, had fun with these shots.

Putt-Putt

So after Ricky and Erica's wedding a few of us went to dinner then to play putt-putt. We will have to go back when Ricky and Erica can join us, I think they had better things to do that night [you know, pack for the honeymoon and open gifts LOL ;~) ]!!!! We had a blast!! We played putt-putt and then hung out in the game room. We found this new game called Bazooka Ball. You get to shoot each other with foam balls!!! It was great!!! Here are some pictures from that night.

I love this picture of me!!
