In Thanksgiving For. . .

I figure since I am so late posting this adorable picture from Thankgiving, I would title this post "In Thanksgiving For. . ." since we are so thankful to have such wonderful families!

This cute little man is Jake, Adam's cousin, Mark's son. We had such a great time visiting with him and all Adam's family in New Jersey over Thanksgiving. We even saw a little snow!

Working hard at the office

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Love,
Adam, Charlotte, Homer, Kickball and Bogey

Adam's Birthday Weekend

Happy Birthday to Adam on November 12!
We had a great birthday weekend for Adam. I think we may have eaten a little TOO MUCH!

Thursday night after Adam's dreaded Florida mortgage licensing exam (which he passed!!!), we went to La Napolera for dinner. The server threw cheese all over me, well kind of. He sat the plate down a little too quickly and forcefully and therefore cheese went all over me. But, I ate it anyway because their tacos are soo good!

Friday, Bob and Judi came into town with their pups. This was Bogey's first meeting with her cousins. Bogey seemed to think that they were toys and just loved chasing them around and playing. Needless to say, lots of barking this weekend! All the dogs were exhausted by yesterday. Bogey actually went to bed last night about 7pm and didn't get up until this morning at 6:30!

Saturday night we went out to J Alexanders for Adam's birthday celebration. That place is just so yummy!! I had the fish tacos and Adam had the pork tenderloin again and we enjoyed them just as much as the first time. We all left so stuffed that we could barely move!

Next week is our big Thanksgiving trip to NJ. We are so excited to visit the Werner family for Thanksgiving this year!

Our New Addition!

Welcome to the family, Miss Bogey Werner!

Bogey is our 8 month old Lab mix that we rescued this past weekend. She is the sweetest thing ever!!! The yellow bandage is from a small bump we had removed. The Dr. thinks it may have just been a little mole that she really aggravated. But she did great and is just perfect!

Kick Ball's 10th Birthday Party!

On September 22nd our "little girl" turned the big 1-0! So since this is such a big year for her, we decided to have a birthday party with her cousins this past weekend. It was WILD! Thanks to Ashley at www.thegourmetdog.com, KB got to have the most beautiful birthday cake ever! As you can see, they just couldn't wait to get their paws on it and once they did, it went fast!

This weekend is Caleb's 2nd birthday party and we can't wait to celebrate. I still can't believe our nephew is already 2!

Tennessee Visit

Adam and I had such a great time over Labor Day weekend in Crossville. I keep saying that the weather Gods knew we were coming and just made it the most beautiful weekend! Highs in the 70's!

Saturday we went over to Murphreesboro for Ross's 2nd birthday. It was so fun to see all the kids having such a great time and to visit with Erin and Nick.

On Sunday, Adam, Daddy John and I went and played golf at Deer Creek. Adam says it was an easy course, but I was sure proud of my 118!!! (sad yes, but proud!)
Then we relaxed the rest of the day out on the gazebo and on the lake. We went on the paddle boat and then out on the pontoon boat.

As usual, Mama Jo fattened us up real good and I also got to see all Aunt Merc's fun embroidery toys and projects. I REALLY think I need one of those machines! (HINT, HINT, Wink, wink to Adam)

It couldn't have been a better weekend (even with Beau biting my behind! :-P )!
