Camping/Father's Day

Saturday Chris and I visited with his parents at Desoto State Park. Miranda, Sterling and Ashley were all there also. We all had a good time talking and laughing at Ashley.

I love this picture. I think Ashley slept for almost an hour on her Uncle Chris.

Our trip up there was so fun. We got lost...go figure! I didn't see the big sign that pointed to the right saying Desoto State Park. So Chris and I ended up driving a few miles out of the way. It also didn't help that Chris has a broken toe. He ran into the sofa Friday morning and now has a purple toe to prove it.

So Whats Going On?

It has been a while since I last posted so I thought I would catch everything up todate.

We have had several issues with our wonderful lawn mower...motor blew up, new starter, new gas lines...you name it, we just about had to replace it. So that got the summer off to a GREAT start. Chris has been doing a great job keeping the yard looking nice.

We had Ashley's 2nd birthday party on April 24th. It was a Minnie and Mickey Mouse party. She got so many fun things to play with. We got her a firetruck, bowling ball set and a baby car seat for her dolls. She doesn't quite have the bowling down yet. She just hits the balls with the pins! I think they are working with her on that, lets hope so.

For a while now Chris and I have been talking about helping my dad find out who his real mother is. You see my dad was adoped when he was a little over two years old and he has always wanted to find out more about it. So we have been doing research and some calling. Well this past Saturday we got a copy of records that will help us with the search. I just pray that we can find out everything that he wants to know. It would be great to know that I have another grandmother and uncle somewhere.

Chris and I had to travel to Ashland for a funeral one Tuesday and we told my parents about our baby plans. We had already told Chris' parents our plans and just needed to let mom and dad know. Mom and dad both started crying and were really excited. I told mom not to buy anything yet, that I would let her know when she could start buying. Well that went in one ear out the other. She has already bought shoes and play toys. Got to love her! I know that she is excited and will be so glad when we do tell them that we are expecting.

Chris got to play with the Gadsden Symphony Orchestra. He did a great job! Joyce came down and went with us. I would post pictures, but they would not allow any video or cameras.

We had two graduations to attend in May. Miranda graduated from UAH with her masters and Kara, Erin and Kate graduated from CCHS. Miranda also gave us some great news. They are having another baby. It will be due in January.
