Valerie's wedding

We had a blast at Josh's little sister's wedding last weekend.It was so lovely.
Here's Emily dancing with her uncle Andrew's girlfriend Carrie: Josh's aunt Peggy and his Mom, Laurie:

Josh and his little sister, Valerie (the bride!)

OH, I asked Julian to get a shot of me and Josh dancing (since we hardly ever get the chance!) and this was the best he could do??? LOL

Since I'm almost always the one behind the camera, the pictures of me usually end up something like this, but it is kind of sweet.

Me and my girl, Emily- (she gives the BEST hugs):

Josh's little brother Andrew, escorting their Mom.

Oh yippee- another great shot of me! LOL

Just kidding, I totally posed like that on purpose.

The food was GOOD. Valerie's husband is Italian, so the food was Italian. YUM!!!

Emily and Julian chowin' down:

They had a Mother/Daughter dance- I had never seen that done before. It was so sweet!!!

Valerie and her new husband, Anthony! They are so cute.

Her step Dad James walked her down the aisle. He looked so handsome:

Papa & Grandma Odom:

Valerie danced with Emily- that made her day!

My gorgeous guys!

Mother and son: :0)

Emily had a few dances with her Uncle Andrew! She had so much fun. He's such a sweetheart.

Here's Emily joining in on a line dance of some sort. She cracks me up!

14 year wedding anniversary

March 18th was our 14th wedding anniversary!

Carrie and Randy were so sweet to babysit for us , so we could go out on a date to celebrate...

We had a wonderful time- dinner at "New Orleans Food and Spirits" (Yum) and then went to see a play at Playmaker's Theater- "The Mousetrap"-

It was AWESOME and sooooooo funny.

These are the flowers Joshua brought home to me! How sweet! The card was the best part.

regional science fair

Recently Julian won 1st place in the Science Fair at his school, so
he was able to move on the regional competition.
It was a fun day! He got to skip school, and I drove him to SLU. During the lunch break, we went to the mall and Julian bought some new clothes- that's why he's wearing a different outfit! LOL
We went to Dillard's and they were having a HUGE sale.
He got 4 shirts and that zip-up hoodie for $11. You can't beat that!

St. Patrick's Day Party!

Carrie and Randy threw a St. Patrick's day party.
It was so much fun.
She decorated like crazy and made green punch. Randy grilled up some yummy hot dogs.
We played Pictionary. That was the best part!!!

Robyn and Cori:

Josh got to pull out his old Army hat:

My Mom:

Randy at the grill:

Carrie was decked out! Awesome!

Time Out for Women!!!

I had such an awesome weekend. My Mom treated everyone to a Time Out!

Pictured above: Conneen, Robyn,Carrie, Mom, me, Keli, and Christy!!!

It was in Houston, TX at the Marriott hotel. My Mom drove all of us there. Road trip!!!

Fun times!

There were awesome speakers and singers...Mary Ellen Edwards was my favorite- she was so funny! I even bought her book, "Peculiar...in a good way" afterwards.

We went out to eat at this place called "Americas"...but it was Italian so I have no idea why they named it that....weird!

I really enjoyed it. The singing was the best- Kenneth Cope and Jenny Jordan Frogley were soooooooo good.

Josh loves golf

Josh loves golfing.
Me?
Not so much.
But I do love nature and walking, so I tagged along with him.
I have to admit that I really like watching him swing that club. H-O-T.

He plays 9 holes almost every day after work. He walks- that's at least 3 miles. It was a good work out.

I can be such a poser! LOL

Cutie pie:

It was such a beautiful day.

Josh is really good, by the way. His score was only 3 over par.

Yeah I learned all the golf terms. I'm cool like that.

my mom is so funny

Carrie, my Mom, and I went to see "Madea Goes to Jail" yesterday.
It was funny. My mom loves Tyler Perry movies, LOL
So I tried to get a picture of us, but Carrie's face was cut off... Then my face was cut off....

Then- PERFECT....but hold on! Look at the face my Mom was making!!! ROFL
