Wow! Long Time No Post!

It has obviously been a while since I have posting anything.  We have definitely been busy. This year was the first year that Josh & I have not been home for Easter.  That Saturday was Addi Kate's 1st Birthday Party.  I cannot believe the child is already 1!  We had a wedding to go to in New Orleans that night as well so we just decided to stay down there and spend the night. We don't have any kids to get up and dressed in the Easter Frock for the day, dye eggs or hunt them. We had a blast at the wedding and had a good day that Sunday. We ate at our new favorite place for breakfast.  "The Rivers Edge"! They have the BEST omlets!!

The Birthday Girl!

The party turned out soooo cute! 

It's a NOLA Wedding!

Making Memories with Photos

We have been quiet busy these past few weekends.  I went down to my Mom's for the weekend and I got to not only see her but I got to see my brother and my Mamaw.  We had such a great weekend of doing... really nothing.  I had mom cook some of her infamous grilled chicken and marinated salad.  She is def one of the best cooks I know.  We seen how many crimes we could solve by watching investigation shows and threw in a couple movies.  That Saturday afternoon we decided to go take pics... and i have to say that i am very glad we did.  I will keep these forever. 

She looks pretty dang good to be 75

Life at the Track

It is getting that time of year!!... if not every weekend then it is every other weekend we are at some race track watching Josh race.  He loves it and so do I.  I love the whole atmosphere of the track (minus the nasty bathrooms).  I enjoy being around our family and friends and making lots of memories.... and of course watching Josh run his car through the quarter mile at 150 mph.  I swear I dont breath for those 10 or so seconds that he is racing.  It is definitely expected of me to film or take pics of every run.  Soooo I def try to be on my A game.  I have posted a few pics of the races so far this year.  There will be many more to come.

Ol White Trash... as Josh calls it.

Kaden cheering his Uncle Josh on! This kid loves to go racing!

Lex gave it a try at the track one Sunday.  Im usually the only girl from the fam that goes.

Logan tryin to learn a few things.

And there off!

Annnd he's gone

I absolutely love this pick!!!!

Our Lovies

Like I said in the first post and if you know us you def know that we dont have children.  BUT I absolutely love kids!!... and they are growing on Josh lol.  We have quiet a bit of kidos in our lives that keep us busy from our nieces and nephews to our friends kids.  I love doing stuff for and with the little munchkins. 

My Ada Grace!.. I love this kid not only b/c she loves me I love her so much because she is Erica's first baby.  Erica is like a sister to me more than a best friend.  Ada will always be a special little girl to  me. 

My lil Ella Wella!!... The pic says it all!!  This kid keeps us rolling.  Another special little runt to me.  I was there when she took her first breath.  She is so precious and so full of life. 

Miss Lillie!  This lil monster is her mothers child!  She doesnt know she loves me yet... but she will eventually learn lol.  Again, she is a special little girl b/c she is jess'. 

This crew is something else.  I think they would live at our house if we let them.  Lexi and Logan were born exactly a month after me and Josh started "going out".  So they dont really know any different when it comes to me and Josh.  They have always kept us running with all of the stuff they have been involved in.  Kaden thinks Josh hangs the moon and you best not tell him any different.  Bentley is my lil sweetheart and her uncle josh is growing on her lol.

A Glimpse At US

Josh and I have been married (happily lol) for almost 6 years now!... but our story starts almost 13 years ago.  I was 14 and in the 8th grade and he was 15 and in the 9th grade at Northeast Jones.  With me being in the new middle school building I didn't have permission to go over to the high school building.... EXCEPT my home-ec class was in that building.  Josh played jr. high football and had to quit due to a surgery that he had on his arm earlier in the year.  By quitting football he had to be placed in a class to replace football.  So, he was placed in this off the wall class that just so happen to be by my home ec class.  YAY!! :).  We passed notes and phone numbers back and forth through a mutual friend and that, my friends, is how it began!  There is so much to say and talk about in regards to our "courting" but that would take all day.  Long story short we dating all the way through high school (with those petty break-ups, of course) and into college.  Josh auditioned for Six Flags in New Orleans as an entertainer and lived down there for 2 summers.  At the end of his last summer he moved to Phoenix, AZ to enroll in to the Conservatory of Recording Art & Sciences.  I stayed here and started USM.  We had major odds against us with the 26 hour away relationship... BUT WE MADE IT! On April 2, 2005 we were married. I married my best friend and my soul mate.  The first years were nothing pretty.... We were broke, unsettled, and faced many challenges with ourselves, family situations and other not so fun stuff.  But we made it, we always do.  And now life is pretty grand. He is the love of my life and I don't know what I would do without him.  

I know that a lot of people that blog have human children to talk about.  We are working on that but as of now we just have 4 legged furry children.  Looci, my boxer, was a Christmas present to me when I was  jr in highschool and Gunner, josh's bulldog, was gotten from his favorite uncle when he was in college.  These two have been with us through everything.  I love them so much!  They think they are human, literally.  They sleep with us sometimes, cuddle with us on the couch and think they have to have some of everything that we eat.  We are eager to start a family and i think that Looci and Gunner are going to love having a baby to watch over.
