Kerry Simmons (10/31/1948 - 04/23/2009)

My uncle Kerry, my mother's brother passed away this morning. He will be missed terribly.

Happy Birthday!!!

I just wanted to post a quick note to wish Jason a "Happy 34th Birthday!!!!" Sorry, it has been a while since my last post, but things have been busy and my uncle Kerry has become unexpectedly ill and is in the hospital. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and I promise that I will post some new pictures soon.

Pictures of my Girls' Latest Adventures

Here are a few outtakes from our drive back from picking Hayden up in Jackson after her week in Memphis. We were so excited to have her back. There are a ton of pictures from her adventures on Todd and Leanna's blog which is linked in our Friends section. I still haven't fixed the date on our camera, but hopefully, I will get that fixed soon.

Hayden had her first spring soccer game and I am happy to report that she seems to be much more involved this season, at least so far. She actually scored two goals in her first game. She was so proud and I wish I captured a picture of her reaction when she scored. She held up her arms and yelled "Score", well after a little prodding from her mother. It was still funny. It was also picture day and of course, Hayden was running and fell. She actual did a forward roll as she fell. She skinned up her knee, hand and her forehead. It was my fault for letting her run on the sidewalk in cleats. I also forgot to put sunscreen on either of the girls and as you can see from some of the later pictures, their faces show the evidence.

Here are a couple of pictures of Mary enjoying the game. I forgot a hat for her, so we borrowed Addie Mae's, my 21 month old niece.

Hanging out at Granny and Granddaddy's house

After soccer and hanging out at my parents' house, my niece Abigail spent the night with us. Hayden adores playing with Abby and Abby, whi is almost 10 is a real trooper for hanging out with Hayden and Mary. Hayden is already asking when Abigail will be back.

A few pictures of Hayden on the way to church with her sunburned cheeks that match her dress.

Lucky for us, Mary loves her saucer, which gives us a break every once in a while.

My Best Friend's Wedding

One of my best friends got married on March 14, 2009 and I am finally putting up some pictures. Congratulations to Shanda and Dave Wicker, wishing them a lifetime of happiness. We had a great time and here are a few pictures from the weekend. As you can see, I somehow never got a picture of half of the happy couple, the groom. Sorry, Dave!!! Also, please ignore the date on the pictures. It is a new camera and I haven't set the date yet.

Me, Shanda, Kelly Morphy and Sarah Lamb
