brand new chair

Here's a $3 garage sale chair we found... nothing like a little fabric and a lot of staples can't fix...

Before....



And After...



Shawz- I hope you like it because it finally looks great in here. And is even more comfortable, not scratchy or smelly.

the good life...

Our dogs have what one might call the good life...






Sleeping with cramped quarters...































Close up...

























All sprawled out...

















Lucky Dog has a whole new meaning.

Beach Day

We took the dogs to Waveland, MS (about 30 mins drive) to frolic in the sand and surf. They had a good time... they told us so. Arf Arf Arf.









Bear Bear loves to just sit in the water.













A game of chase.



Our cool neighbors dog Nola... being her scruffy self.
*It's a video play it*

Burn Baby!

Mr. Hurricane Gustav provided us with a bunch of debris. The biggest burn piles in our history of burn piles.

Pile #1

















Pile #2







Shaw... being his normal goofy self.
























Safety 1st...

Say Hello...

Say Hello to our new ride... We got a Mazda3 hatchback. It's an 04 and has 82,000 miles. It's a fun 5 speed and very speedy. We were able to buy it out right so it's all ours.


One of our 1st adventures will be to cram our big dogs into the back and cruising to the beach. yo.








The red on the seat looks better in person.
We also have a date to tint the windows soon.




We are still trying to think of a good name... if you have any suggestions... all names will be accepted and discussed.





This car has the fancy free factor. I got a nod and a wink from a fellow traveler on the interstate today. I'll need to keep an eye on my wanna be fancy free husband and the Mazda.

Say Goodbye...

GOODBYE to our Saturn... it's gone and officially totaled. Gap insurance is our friend.

You know what that means.... NEW CAR.

Here are some celebration shots when we
got the official news that we were
financially free and clear.

My Mom got Married!

My mom got married.
We had a fun night and everything went as planned, if not better.
My mom looked beautiful and she could not have been more happy.











2 years and 6 months ago we were standing under the same tree as newly weds.








We danced the night away and were the last to leave the party! It was a very fun time. We were so glad we got to see and visit with so many friends and family.
