Go Team!!!

We had our first football game Saturday night, and the mighty Warriors won. Yeah Team!! We took a van load of cheerleaders and Austin and my nephew Chase for a road trip to the ballgame. It was so fun, and very exciting to watch the kids in action. Unfortunately Monday night at practice Austin got his arm broke. We go next week to get the big cast on it. Yes, he is very bumed. He played such a great game and loved football. The coach told the team tonight that they have to go to the Superbowl so Austin can play one more time. The boys are being very helpful to him at school. Emily has cheerleading practice every night but Wednesday, this year its competitive cheering. She loves it, and we hope no broken bones for her. The weeks fly by, hopefully we will get some fall temps soon, it still feels like hot summer to me. I hope all my blogger friends have a great day!

Our Birthday Girl, Emily

Emily is now 11 years old. Where did all the years go? We look back over the years how the Lord has blessed. Emily is a wonderful daughter. She has a sweet spirit and has a love for God. We love you Emy so much!! This year Emily has a passion for horses. Hopefully soon she can begin riding lessons. The theme for her party is horses. The cake was in a horse shoe shape. This is the first year that we got to celebrate with family. We enjoyed it very much. Emily got some special presents, thank you for the special teapots to add to her collection. One of her big surprises was her gymnastic jacket and her American Girl doll, Emily a gymnastic suit. We look forward to a happy year!

Our Busy Life Here in Tennessee

Hi to all my Blogger Friends,

I think we are almost settled in, and the busy life of gardening has approached us. First off, I thought that once my parents retired that their lives would slow down a bit. Not so in the summer!!! We are in full force 0f gardening. My mom and I have put up about 85 quarts of gbeans, squash pickles that are so delicious, relish, next will be tomato juice, salsa and the list goes on and on..... It will be wonderful this winter, but I forgot how much work goes to having a big garden.

We love being close to my family, I have enjoyed catching up with cousins, aunts and uncles. I've even had a couple dinner partys. It is wonderful to spend time with my precious granny, who is 90 yrs.

Austin and Emily love it here. Austin has been coon hunting some, its really to hot to run the dogs, but he still enjoys the excitemint of the training. Emy loves horses, and she got to go to a TN Walking Horse show. She wants to take riding lessons. Football and Cheerleading practice has begun. We are at the ball field at least 4 nights a week. They both are doing good and making friends before school starts next week. Austin is pretty excited, he was picked to be one of the quarterbacks.

I am ready for some company, yall are all welcome.... As Paula Deen's sign in her restaurant said, " Come and I'll put a little "South in Your Mouth" .

Take care and please write soon. Have a Great Day!!!!
