The Basement

As most of you know, Mike has been working hard on our basement. He has a little over half of it done. People are amazed when they see it the detail that he's put into it. Mike has found a hidden talent. If there was something that he didn't know how to do then he'd read about it in a book to learn. As you can see we are still waiting for furniture, but as long as Mike has his big screen up and running, that's all he cares about.













These are pictures of the "home theater".

10 Years of Bliss

Mike and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary. Knowing this is a momentous year we wanted to plan something BIG for our celebration. Mike wanted an exotic trip and I wanted to put hardwood floors in our dining room and get some nice china. (Ever the romantic, I know) Since we couldn't agree we decided to save our money and just buy a new house! Mike surprised me anyway with an overnight get away to the Barnsley Gardens. It's a spa/golf resort up in north Georgia. So we unloaded our kids to some friends for the night and headed out. It was a lot of fun and most of all it was very relaxing!

End of Summer

Well, it's that time of year again. The leaves are slowly changing, the temperature is dropping and football is in the air. Braxton has had three games so far this season and their team is 0 for 3. We pretty much get SPANKED every game. But, Braxton has a great time, and that's what it's all about, right? His position is offensive lineman, and is very good at it. He's not afraid to tackle and will get anyone that gets in his way.

Hailey on the other hand, is all girl! Since Braxton was our first we've only had "boy" toys for her to play with. A couple of weeks ago we went out and got her some "girly" toys. And she loves every single one of them. She's either pushing her "baby" around in the stroller, having a tea party with Mom or brushing her Strawberry Shortcake doll's hair. She also loves to dress up in her new fairy costume.
