We have so much to blog about over December but our computer is not working well. As soon as I get it up and running again their will lots to see.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

While BJ and I went off to celebrate our 4th Anniversary/BJ's 27th Birthday our Moms, Honey(mine) and Gramma (BJ's) drove 12 hours to spend Thanksgiving with Brady. I dont know what all they did but what I do know is that she was well feed, very clean, and SPOILED!!!! We came home Sunday night and we celebrated our Thanksgiving Monday with a feast made by Gramma. This was Brady's first experience with stuffing . . .yum!!!

Dear Honey and Gramma,

Thank you so much for staying with Brady while BJ and I went to paradise with the Basketball team. I know that she loved every minute of being spoiled and loved on. Thank you also for loving BJ and I so mush. We know that we will be and are good parents because we have such great role models. I love you all very much!

While Daddy's Away to Hunt . . . The Girls will Play!!

Opening day of deer season was Saturday and my wonderful husband who questions me every morning as to why I get up early to go to work was up at 3am to drive two hours to make sure that he was in the deer stand before dawn. With BJ is/was out of town hunting Brady and I had a great weekend. We went shopping at the mall to find BJ a birthday gift and to find some things for our trip to The Bahamas over Thanksgiving but all I bought was Brady clothes. She is so well dressed and stylish. While I was shopping I realized that the style out now is not really for me. After our shopping we played outside and inside and then Brady crashed. Just a few of the cute pictures of my beautiful little girl.

MISS. . . Chief

Somebody . . . I am not naming names but the cute little angel smiling in the pictures below figured out how to open the cabinets. She found the one that didn't have locks on them. (of course) With the living room FULL of toys the little angel that I am not naming decided that it would be much more fun to play with all the bowls, pots, and tea kettles. She was so proud of herself. She carried and stacked them for an hour. I think I buy toys for my own amusement and not hers. **Do I buy Christmas presents or just buy BJ and I stuff and let her play with the boxes? **

play DATE

Date "Play Date"

Some of you may remember Lane from previous blog posts.

He was/is Brady's boyfriend from school. We meet up with

Lane, his mom Melissa, and his grandmother at Bowers Park.

The kids climbed, played, fell, tried to share balls, and threw

temper tantrums. (I am so glad to see I am not the only one

with a 1 year old throwing fits.) Daddy left for Talladega for

Sprint Cup race.

**Thank you Gramma for the great outfit it looks too cute**

WEEKDAY Fun!!

FLUM Weekdays Kids (daycare) had a costume parade and Trick or Treating Friday October 29. Brady in her newly modified lil' stinker costume participated in her first Trick or Treating. Her teacher told me that everytime they went to a new room to "trick or treat" Brady would look in her bag and have the biggest smile on her face. I wish I could have seen it. Being a working mom it stinks when these times come around. She enjoyed her time and I think we have another chocolate lover in the family . . . oh no!!

Girls trip to San Antonio, Texas. Once a year we try to get together at some location just the girls for some eating, drinking, talking with just us girls. This year after having to miss last years trip to Salt Lake City I was able to fly in and hang out "THE GIRLS". We did just what I set out to do . . . eat Tex-Mex food, drink margaritas, talk a lot, sleep late, and not change any diapers.

Dear Girls,

I had an amazing time with yall. Thank you for continuing to be my friends after so many years. I have known yall most of my life and I want to Thank you for shaping me into the person I am today. I love everyone of yall and I cant wait till the next year to hang out in Gulf Shores.

Love Always, Chelle

PS. I tried to scan and upload past pictures and I couldn't get them to down load. They were great. I will keep trying to get some of the pictures from 1998 on this page.

A DEVINE Weekend

10-15-10
Tailgating with the Alabama Softball team BJ, Brady and I helped welcome our friends Shawn, Chelsea, and Lila Kate Devine to the Heart of Dixie and SEC football. They moved to Atlanta from Idaho in August and needed a little southern hospitality. With the football game not til 8PM . . . Chelsea and I went to the Kentuck Arts Festival in Northport while the Dads watched the precious little angels. After a full day of art Chelsea and I met up with the rest of the group to tailgate on the quad with the softball team. From there BJ and Shawn went to the football game vs Ole Miss. We "the girls" got Panera to go and headed back to the house to eat, have bath time and then off to bed. Saturday after we had a BIG breakfast we headed out to the softball field to sit on the hill and watch my girls play. The weather was AWESOME. After the softball game we had some GREAT southern BBQ at Full Moon. What a great weekend we had with some great friends. We cant wait to hang out with them the next time. Thank you Devine Family for a GREAT, AWESOME weekend.

Pumpkin Patch 2010

Brady was fascinated by all the pumpkins but she found a tiny little pumpkin that she carried around with her tucked under her arm the entire time we were there.

Pictures were taken at St. Mattias Episcopal Church and taken by Jessica Schall one of my freshman golfers.
