Quote Me This

My Friend from work, Melody, has been a blogger since 2005 and since I met her just last year I decided to look back at her previous posts and see what she had posted in the past and found this quote...

"I think a person has to be at least a little bit egocentric to have a blog (and to expect other people to want to read it.)" -Melody's mother

This is a reaction I have gotten several times when referring to my blog in conversations but I love the way Melody's mom worded it! :)

A Hardy Dinner Party!

Leah and I went to eat with the Hardy's last night! We has a blast laughing with Justin and Whitney and taking turns holding Hayes! He is such a cutie!

Mommy Whitney holding Hayes

Leah smiling at Hayes smiling at her! (he's really smiling!)

Daddy Justin and his other baby, Rez! (Notice Justin's hand making this picture rated PG!)

Quotes of the Night:

"I know my forward slashes from my backward slashes!"

"It doesn't really happen unless you blog about it!"

"I'll google it, how do you spell it!"

"They are laughing with me!"

"Hayes has great aim!"

"Praise God!"

Progress On Our Yard

It's coming up on mine and Jared's second summer at our fabulous house on Wisteria Trace and ask me if I've done a thing to our yard.... NO!! I got the itch to do some damage after our neighbors, the Celeste, started working on their yard.

Jared reluctantly posing as I show him destroying our hideous plastic white fence that came with the house!!

The couple that lived there before us really didn't want that fence to go anywhere... it was cemented really deep into our yard!

Emily and Leah posing at Home Depot as we gathered mulch and two potted hanging plants! Thanks ladies for joining me on my attempt to beautify my yard!

I gave our bushes a major hair cut!

Me putting the final touches before rushing to get ready for CORE group.

My potted plant!

At present this is what my front yard looks like... whew!

Yesterday when Leah and I were coming home from our walk I actually held my head up a little higher as we walked onto my clean, nice, but working progress front yard.

A Night Full of SPIRITS

My Thursday night was full of SPIRITS again!
I use to work the wine tastings at my cousin and her husband’s wine cellar, Spirits, in Tuscaloosa every Thursday night while I was in school at UA. I haven't been to one in over a year and finally got down to T-town this past Thursday night. I left right after work and met Codie at her house to change out of work-wear and into cas-wear and headed off to Spirits! My Aunt Susan and Uncle Bob Tanner, Jen's parents, were in town from Texas which was one of my main pulls to go and Codie had succeeded in talking Beau, Jen's brother, into joining us as well (driving in from Mississippi). My two favorite wines of the night were both Berger wines a smooth summer white and a rich red. After the customers left the wine tasting my parents joined us as we ordered multiple appetizers from Milagros for dinner (crab cakes, fried shrimp, mussels) ... delicious!
Pics from our night at SPIRITS!

When I asked Beau what he was doing tomorrow he answered with this motion which means fishing at SawGrass. :)

Beau's new ride!

We didn't order enough Milagros to fill me up so on our way back to Codie's house we stopped by Taco Casa for a late night snack! A large messy nachos and a large Mt. Dew, YUM! :)
