Image 4 Photography

These are pictures we took with Katie Richard this past week. Katie is my best friend from home and she is an amazing photographer! She owns Image 4 Photography and does an outstanding job. This is only a few....it was hot and Emma got tired of "showing me her teeth" quickly. Katie worked wonderfully with her and captured some beautiful shots!! Anyone needing any type of photography...I highly recommend her!!

On Blueberry Hill!!

WOW!! What a fun couple of days we have had! Aunt Lynn (+ baby hooker) and Hannah Kate came and spent last night with us. We have had so much fun! We went this morning to Johnson's Blueberry Farm and picked a gallon of blueberries! The girls have had the best time having a playmate all the time! Emma loves to copy EVERYTHING Hannah Kate does.....This morning the girls were being silly and dancing around with pants on their heads!! See pictures...they laughed so hard it was fun to watch!! Can't wait to see the entire family and hang out with the Hookers more on the 4th!!!

First I have to tell you that Meridian has elected Cheri Barry our first woman mayor!! Tripp and I are huge Cheri Barry supporters and we were so excited to help her, support her, and be there for her victory! It was such an exciting night! It came down to the last wire...after all the electronic votes were in she won by 114 votes and there were 600 absentee ballots to be counted....so after an all night couting party and a recount called by her opponent she ended up winning by about 300 votes!! We are so proud of her. Here are some pictures of her campaign and the fuzzy one is from her election result party (all I had was my iphone)!!

Ok...so it has been a long time....here I am to update you on what has been going on at our household. School has officially ended and summer has began. I am going to teach summer school in the mornings for about 3 weeks. Tripp, Emma, and I went to the beach last weekend with some wonderful friends and had an absolute BLAST!! We didn't want to come home! This week I am cleaning and trying to get my house put back together after our trip. Here are some pictures!!

Here comes Peter Cotton Tail...

...hopping down the bunny trail...hippity hoppity Easter's on its way!!! Tripp and I took Emma to the Easter Egg Hunt at the Knights of Columbus hall this afternoon. She had so much fun...and ran herself down! I was able to keep her bunny ears on her as long as she didn't know they were there! We had so much fun! Hope you enjoy the pictures and have a wonderful Easter weekend!!

Happy Easter

Here are some pictures of Emma with our azalea bush next to our house! I love taking her picture next to it because of how bright it is! Emma was not as cooperative this year as she was last, but I managed to get a few! The on top to the left is her saying CHEESE!!! Happy Easter to all!!

Playing in Greenville

Tripp, Emma, and I loaded up this past weekend and went to Greenville. It was such a BEAUTIFUL weekend. Lynn and I actually played in a tennis tournament together and had a BLAST! Just call us Venus and Serena. After the tournament we met the guys with the girls and went to the park to play....the Hannah Kate and Emma had so much fun...we also went and fed ducks. Here are some pictures from the weekend! Thanks Lynn, Daniel, and Hannah Kate for such a great weekend!! We can't wait to do it again!

My PRECIOUS Nana and Pa

A couple of weeks ago my friend Evelyn and I went to Hattiesburg, Ms for a conference. Since we were so close to Gulfport we decided after the workshop to drive down. We went by and saw my Precious Grandparents...Nana and Pa.

Here is the funny story....
When Evelyn and I were pulling up she said "What are their names and what do I call them?"
I said "Just call them Nana and Pa...they have 9 kids and 30 something grandkids...they are use to that name"
She said "Geeezzz are they going to know who you are??"
I said "Of course and actually they will probably call me Precious!"
...she didn't believe that or she thought I was just being funny....but sure enough as soon as Pa opened the door he said "Hey Precious!!!"
Evelyn and I both just laughed!!

Here are some pictures of us! We had a wonderful visit. I wish we could get down to see them more!
