Big 27!

Happy Birthday Sweetie! Yes, I know it's a little late, but i thought i'd share the pics anyways. We had a fun dinner at one of Craig's favorites: Maccaroni Grill.
The Kims, Toblers, and Greenhalghs came to celebrate with us.

And even George and Laura made the trip down to party with us! And they were definitely the life of the party, they are so rowdy!

Trip to Louisiana

I recently went home for my little brother and nephew's high school graduation, we had so much fun! Just thought I'd add a few pics from the trip. I'm so proud of the both of them and I can't believe how grown up they are. I never had a sister so I used to dress these two up in my dresses and make them play school and all kinds of tortuous activities. But trust me they had their turns at me. I just want them to know I love them so much!!

Here's my pretty Momma and me.These are my oldest brother and his daughter and my youngest brother. It's quite the span!My daddy and brother, quite the proud father's!

All the family (that was there).

And my two boys!!

Mid Twenties Crisis perhaps?

No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth as emails I have gotten are indicating. I am alive and well and have just been neglecting my blogging responsibilities. However, after a brief absence and perhaps a "Mid-Twenties Crisis" I am back....although with a few changes. I promise to do better!

Alexis Elise Floyd

One of my best friends growing up (and still), Heather, was blessed with a beautiful baby girl on February 21, 2008. I wish I could have been there she's so dang cute, it makes me want one (Laura!).

This is a picture of Heather and me a few years ago, Heather's to the left of me. Sorry Heather if you don't like, I didn't have much to choose from on my computer.

MIA

And finally...the pictures everyone has been waiting for, our adorable new addition! This is Mia. Mia was my Valentine's/Birthday present from Craig, however, we didn't get her until a week ago. She is completely spoiled already and now Craig has two of us to deal with! She loves attention and cries whenever we aren't petting her. It was hard to get cute pictures because she wouldn't be still long enough, but I did my best. The only time she's still is if you are holding her. Her only imperfection (besides her slightly crossed eyes due to her siamese genes) is a congenital defect...her sternum goes inward. Eventually this could cause lung or heart problems, but we hope it's not that serious...at least I hope, I think Craig was secretly glad when the doctor suggested it could be fatal. (He didn't realize cats could live well into their teens when he let me have her) Anyways, I'm just so in love with her!

Handicapped?

This is completely inappropriate...but some of you will appreciate the humor. My dear mother, bless her heart, has a pet peeve about people parking in handicapped spots when they are, in fact, not handicapped. So, yesterday as she was out shopping alone (meaning without one her children to keep her in line) spotted a lady parking in a handicapped spot who was not handicapped, nor had anyone with her who was handicapped. My mom rolls down her window to politely remind the lady that she was not handicapped, but the lady was so UNhandicapped she was walking away so quickly my mother was too late. Well, that's not going to stop my mom! She parks the car, finds a piece of paper and pen, writes the poor lady a note and puts in under her windshield wipers. The note explains that she should not be parking there when she is not handicapped, etc. The note ends with my sweet mother's words (which she thought were very mean and would surely teach this outlaw a lesson) so...SHAME ON YOU! I only wish I could have been there to see this lady get her hate note!

Think he'll get the hint?

Is my background discrete enough to remind Craig of the upcoming holiday....?!
