Day Trip to Charlotte
Last m
onth, Whit and I made a day trip to Charlotte. We were able to catch up with Gary, Mandy, Macy, and Makayla as well as some friends of ours Bailey
and Brian! We met for dinner at a Cajun restaurant called Razoo's. It made for a late night but it was certainly worth it. I can't believe how fast the girls are growing up! I can't wait until this summer when I will have time to catch up with Gary, Mandy, Macy, and Makayla as well as spend some quality time with Bailey and Brian. We have seen each other in little bits but with Bailey's work schedule and my summers off we will be able to spend some time together hanging out and catching up on life! I can't wait!

Weekend in Shreveport
Whit and I spent last weekend in Shreveport, LA for my cousin Nick's wedding. Nick and Meghan have been together for 5 years and finally decided to tie the knot. The wedding was beautiful and went off without a hitch!
My family always teases that we have so many weddings, baby showers, etc. that there is no need for any family reunions because we have them so often at these random events. We are dwendling down on the number of neices, nephews, etc that are left to marry. We are not sure what we will do once these events are over with but I am sure that we will find time to get together whether it is in Destin, Atlanta or St. Louis. Wherever it is, we will all make the time to spend it with family!
Shreveport as an interesting little city. We stayed at the Boardwalk area that was right on the river. It was a beautiful, new place that has lots of shops restraunts within walking distance. There was also a casino right next door!!!!! I felt like I was in Vegas for a minute! I sure lost my fair share at black jack and in the slot machines and ... just kidding. I stopped there! I knew better!
All in all, we had a wonderful time. We got to spend time with my aunts, uncles and cousins that live in St. Louis. I love seeing pictures of my mom and her siblings, it makes me so thankful to have such a wonderful family.

50 & Still Shakin'
Happy 50th Birthday Mom! To celebrate, we took a family trip to
Orlando. What better way to celebrate Mom's youth than spending time with Mickey! Friday night, we went to dinner at Bubba Gumps in the City Walk area of Universal. Of course the waiters/waitresses sang to Mom and in order to get her birthday cake, she had to shake it!
She's got moves...even at 50!!!
Enjoy the pics and video. The video may be a little dark but you can at least get the idea!

Wow, it has been too long...
I know that it has been ages but things have been nuts around here between work and getting ready for Thanksgiving. I hope that all of you had as good of a Thanksgiving as I had. I was able to spend lots of time with the family especially the little ones. I had a training in Atlanta the week before Thanksgiving so it was nice to be that much closer to the family for the extra week. I took turns staying at every one's house so that I could spend quality time with them. I stayed with Sheryl the first night and we baked a cake for her cake decorating class that she is taking. She is amazing and has only had like 4 classes, imagine when she finishes the course!
I got out of the training a little early one day so I went and picked Haley up from daycare so that we could go shopping before Mom and Dad came home. Haley takes after her Mom, Aunts and Grandma...that girl loves to shop.
I was also able to get to spend some time with Wes and the rest of the Roberts family. Wow, Wes has grown up so fast. Talking to him is like talking to an adult. He is so smart and funny. We had a blast playing and talking about what he learning in school.
Jim and I went to see New Moon opening night and I was in awe! Such a good movie that I had to run and buy the books because I couldn't wait any longer to see what happened. The only problem was that I hadn't read the first two so I had to start there since I am a sequential person. So I am about a 1/3 of the way through the first one... a little slow but I will get there... hopefully before the 3rd movie comes out!
Once Mom got back in town we were able to spend some quality time together too. She, Jim and I went to see the Rockette's Christmas Spectacular at the Fabulous Fox theatre in Atlanta on Sunday night and had a great time! It was an amazing performance!
The week of Thanksgiving was spent getting ready for the big day and putting up Mom's Christmas tree. Joanne did an amazing job decorating the tree. She is so talented with that stuff!
Thanksgiving day was crazy as usual but we had a great time catching up with family that we don't get to see too often. Gary, Mandy, Macy & Makayla flew into the Gainesville airport to enjoy their 1st Thanksgiving. I cannot believe how fast they are growing up. They are so adorable and have great personalities. Their smiles will melt your heart!
Of course we also took part in the Annual Black Friday Shopping Trip. This year we mapped everything out the night before and decided where we were going, what we were getting at which stores and what time we would be there. It worked perfectly and we were able to get everything that we had set out to get! A very successful day for all of us. After our 10 hour shopping adventure, we met Jim, Gary, Mandy, Macy, Makayla, Whit, Clayton, and Haley for lunch at Chili's. Then we headed back to Mom and Jim's house to relax before we hit the Magical Nights of Lights at Lake Lanier Islands. Whit and I rode in the car with Haley, Sabrina and Clayton. We were so glad to be there to experience Haley as she was amazed at the lights. She kept saying "Look Miss"! It was adorable and I was eating up every second of that! She is so stinking cute!
I am looking forward to Christmas and spending more time with the family again. It is so fun to have children around during the Holidays! Hopefully one day, we will have some of our own to enjoy!

Labor Day Weekend
Okay, so I have been very slack about posting. We have been crazy lately as I am sure all of you have been too. Life never seems to slow down, it just keeps going faster and faster! I can't believe that the twins are 1 month old, Haley is about to turn two, Wes and Reganne started Pre-k, and Riley and Connor just had their second birthdays.
Whit and I were supposed to head to Atlanta for Labor Day Weekend, but as many of you know, he was sick. He is doing better now after returning to the doctor for the second time on Monday. I think that the second round of antibiotics finally helped to get rid of the fluid in his lungs and to started to make him feel better. So needless to say, since he was sick he didn't go with me to Atlanta. I felt bad leaving him at home alone while he was sick but my grandmother and grandfather were in town for the holiday weekend so I had to. Whit assured me that he was going to be fine. So I headed Northwest to Atlanta for the extra long weekend due to the furlough day. I headed up Friday after work and picked up Gary along the way. He flew the new helicopter to Cumming, GA of all places to have it re-finished. We then went to Mom's house for the night. He had to drive back to Charlotte the next day so I enjoyed time with Ma & John and the rest of the family including Haley. She is getting soooo big. We bonded watching the Appalachian State football game. Later on that evening, I hitched a ride with Gary's Co-Pilot, Todd to Charlotte. I went there for the night to see the twins who I hadn't seen since they were born. I met Gary, Mandy, Macy and Makayla for dinner and enjoyed feeding and snuggling with the sweet little girls. We hung out Sunday and enjoyed some bonding time then Gary and I headed back to Atlanta on Greg Biffle's jet. Gary had to fly the jet to Atlanta to pick Greg up after the race so I hitched a ride back with him. When we arrived at the airport, Sabrina, Clayton and Haley were all there to welcome us. Haley was beside herself when she saw the airplane. She has a fascination with airplanes, helicopters, etc. It is hilarious to watch her when she sees one flying in the sky.
After leaving the airport, we headed back to Mom's house to hang out with Ma & John before they took off on Monday morning. We enjoyed wine on the back deck while solving all of the world's problems. It was so nice to see Ma & John again and to catch up on what has been going on with them now that Ma is retired. They are becoming quite the little travelers these days!
Monday and Tuesday were spent hanging out with the Sheryl, Sabrina, Clayton, Haley, Mom and Jim. Ryan had to work so I didn't really get to see him except for a minute here and there. I will definitely have to spend more time with him next time. Tuesday afternoon, Mom and I picked Haley up from school and took her shopping. She was a little skeptical at first when we pulled up to her school in her mom's car and her mom wasn't there. Nonetheless, she still had a great time.
Once all of the fun had been had, it was time for me to drive the long road of Highway 16 back to Savannah. Since I have been home, things at work and home have been crazy. We are gearing up for our annual Halloween party so we are trying to clean the house, garage, etc so that people aren't grossed out when they come. With Whit being sick, things had to be delayed a little but we still have some time before it has to be done.
Whit and I are heading to the mountains for our 5 year anniversary on October 2nd and on the way, we are going to stop and spend some time with his family. I can't wait to see our nephew Wes. He is getting so big! He is playing soccer now and is going to start taking Tae-kwon-do lessons from Mr. Murphy, one of or best friends. I know that this sport will suit Wes well. He loves all of the Ninja moves and everything boy! He is so handsome and adorable!
Whit and I miss all of our nieces and nephews so much. It stinks being so far away from everyone but the pictures keep us going. We look forward to new pictures soon, Hint, Hint!!!!
