birthdays

I am finally posting a few pictures from Lindi and Preston's birthday party! 

 BJay grilled the little kiddos (and big kiddos) some hot dogs

 I'm pretty sure that Jamie ate most of these

Tonight I went to California Dreaming with two of my FAVORITE girls.  Kerri's birthday was today, and we celebrated with Cali salads and a very HOT brownie with ice cream!!  It was a great night!!

LOVE these girls more than life.  Couldn't get through ONE day without them!!  They take such good care of me.   Happy Birthday, babe!  Love you MUCH.

Have a happy Thursday everyone!  JP and I are heading to Pawley's Island Friday for the long weekend.  A much needed break.  Very excited.  I will most definitely take lots of pictures and post them for you to see.

Hey guys!!  I planned on uploading the pictures from Preston and Lindi's birthday party.  However, it is now almost eleven o'clock and I have not showered from work and the track today!  So, in light of that, I am heading to shower and bed.  It's been a long day. 

I did want to share the pictures of Preston and my brother, JP.  Many of my friends have asked to see them together because those who knew JP are amazed at how they favor.  And since my mom doesn't use Facebook, she asked me to post them on here as well.

 

They definitely favor.  

                

                      Both handsome. 

 

                                     And both loved.

 

 

 

Well, sorry guys...that's all for tonight.  I will do my VERY BEST to post the birthday pictures tomorrow evening.  GOODNIGHT!!

 



 

wedding weekend!

Due to the amount of pictures and the fact that I am DEAD TIRED, I am not going to write too much in this post.  Some of you are probably happy about this!  LOL  The wedding was simple and beautiful and our family had an amazing time.  I am, however, happy to be home.  And looking very forward to crawling into my bed tonight.  I'm even skipping my run! 

ENJOY...

Mother/son dance

This is our "Daddy O's."  Dale's dad, Jeffrey's grandfather.  He has not been well for a few years and we were all very grateful to God that he was able to travel and enjoy the special occasion.  He had a wonderful time and it meant so much to have him there.  On a side note, please keep O's in your prayers.  He's a fighter!!

Troublemakers since they were little! (Jodi and I were the "perfect" angels...)

Should have had someone take this picture... he is so stinkin' tall!  I am on my toes here!

Jodi and Preston BURNIN' up the dance floor.  Preston was wiped out after the night was over.

Jodi and Christi getting their SHAG on!  Carolina Girls, the best in the world!!

DISCLAIMER:  The following picture is very difficult for me to post on this blog.  Unfortunately, I feel as though it's only fair to include it.  Just please understand that I do not support nor do I condone the content of the photo.  And although it physically hurts to upload it, that's what family does....they make sacrifices.

Well, there ya go!  A wonderful time was had by all. 

 

 

And I'm off to bed...

 



frustrated

I have been sitting here for the past thirty minutes uploading pictures and writing about my upcoming weekend.  When I hit "publish,"  it completely malfunctioned.  I deleted the post.  The unfortunate part is that I am TOO TIRED to start all over again....

I'm sorry!

I promise to deliver the birthday pics of the babies SOON!  This weekend I will not be able to update the site.  When Laurie gets off work tomorrow, we are traveling to Georgia to see our friend  brother Jeffrey get married!  I am so excited for him.  He has met a great girl and I wish them the very best of luck.  We grew up with Jeffrey and his sister Jodi.  Our parents are best friends.  We spent every holiday together camping.  Myrtle Beach, Stone Mountain, James Island etc....   Hands down, the most favorite times of my life!  I sure do miss those days.  In fact, I am still holding a grudge against my parents for selling our camper.  Don't get me wrong, the time share is really nice to have, but there is NOTHING LIKE CAMPING!!  I would choose an RV and a campground over a condo ANY DAY! 

If you'd like to pray for us tomorrow, we could use it.  Laurie and I do not have the greatest sense of direction.  It is almost dangerous for us to travel together!  The wedding is Saturday at 4:00 pm.  So, if we leave tomorrow (Friday) around 6:00, hopefully we will make it in time for the ceremony - that leaves us plenty of time to get lost.  And no offense, Jeff, but as long as we make it in time for the reception (they have a DJ!)  I'm good to go!  ;)

Alright, well I am heading to bed.  HAPPY FRIDAY FRIENDS!!
