New Tradition, TAILGATING!!!!

We decided to start something new!!!!! We wanted to be together before the games since our lives are so busy and this would give us a little more time together...plus we get to eat yummy food!!! We started out small with only a few people but with the newspaper stopping by unexpectedly...I would imagine that we will have more friends stop by! We realized that this is only for a short amount of time that we have high school football players and we need to cherish that and make memories................for I ONLY HAVE 3 MORE YEARS UNTIL CHASE IS MOVING ON! :( We are going to do it at away games too! We have so much fun and I am so glad we decided to start this.

Great catch.........

Chase was spinning his way out.......

GOOOOOOOOOO CHASE!!

This is not what a mom wants to see................

Bahama Mamas/Birthday Babes at Corkey Bells

My girls.... AKA....Bahama Mamas(since we all went to the islands with our teenagers), we've since been renamed the Birthday Babes. We have started a wonderful tradition of getting together for our birthday's. I love my girlfriends and enjoy their friendship. It is always nothing but lots of laughs and tons of fun. I am thankful for each of them and what they bring to my life and the life of my family. I am extremely blessed to have such amazing women in my life to share all of our trials and triumphs that happen in our lives!

The girls showered me with thoughtful gifts and made me feel special.

We had a wonderful time at lunch and then watched a movie!! I had a great day! Thank you girls for everything! I love you all!

Tyler's Football

Goooooo #54!!!! This is Tyler's second year of football! He has a very important position on the team......he's the center!!! Here is Tyler with his teammates before his first game in Keystone.

Tyler did a great job being a kicker! He was VERY excited to "actually play on the exact same field as Chase" He loved being on the field in Keystone.

This is sooo cute. I am not sure.......but someone tooted and it smelled HORRIBLE!!! As always, it makes the guys crack up!

John has enjoyed coaching his son so much as well as the other boys. He does a great job out there.

Tyler was doing some type of dance after a great play.

Jennifer's Birthday in St. Augustine, posted by John

Jenn & I spent a couple of days in St. Augustine for her birthday. She is showing off the beautiful bracelet and earrings that her good looking husband got for her. We are headed out for a WILD night out in St. Augustine!


Happy birthday Jenn! We just had a wonderful day at the beach. What more could you ask for.

Here is the "Love Tree" in downtown St. Augustine. There is a palm tree growing out of the center of a oak tree. I think this is so interesting and we love walking around the back streets of the town.

Once again, John treated me like a queen! I had a wonderful few days. I got to go to the beach, stay downtown, eat on the balcony at A1A Aleworks, sit in the most beautiful lit garden at Harry's and have key lime pie.....my fav , THEN spend another day at the beach!!! We went to Larado's for dinner. I got a CUTE new camera strap/lens huggie as well as a fabulous new pair of polka dot Reef flips!!! Thanks John...I love you!

Chase's 16th birthday party

Sunday was Chase's party! He was only expecting family to be there however, I called some of his friends to stop by! We had planned to give Chase his truck that day! It was a wonderful day to celebrate his life!!!

We, well mostly John, worked VERY hard to get the truck ready for Chase!!!

Evan bought Chase the famous-one-of-a=kind SNUGGIE!!!

We love our Ms. Karen!!!

Meme and Poppy made the trip on their motorcycles to share the day with Chase!

Taco dip............YUMMY!!!!!

Me and my Bro!!!! I love him soooo

Jeff still can't believe that Chase is 16!! It seems like just yesterday they were in the little blue plastic pool together!! Jeff has always been a great uncle...even when he was younger!So glad the Harvin's stopped by! We love them too!

We had the truck covered up so Chase has not seen it since all the work was done on it. He was acting a little silly, but he was extremely surprised.

Evan and Chase decided to get into a wrestling patch.
