**Girl's Weekend at the Beach**

There are only a few requirements for a great girl's weekend at the Beach!!

Pick a fantastic weekend and a great spot on the Beach!
Next, shop til you drop at the local outlets. *even going back the next day!!*

Eating a fabulous meal every night & sometimes even lunch!!

Picking two of the greatest people in the world to spend it with!!

And knowing when you get home the people who love you the most are waiting on you to get back and they have missed having you home!!

Super Bowl XLV

Collage Football has been over for about a month, so Al and I have savored the last few NFL games of the season. It is a sad day for us when Football season is over until the following fall! You all know we love our Crimson Tide, but we also like just watching football in general. We have always watched the Super Bowl, so this year since we were in our new house we decided to have a Super Bowl Party!! So this was our 1st annual Super Bowl Party!

Our guests for this party were Valerie, Roger, Heather, and Britt! I am glad Green Bay won so Al could sport his awesome cheese head he got while in Green Bay many years ago!
Super Bowl food!!!

Super Bowl plates and napkins!!

Al and I had wanted to purchase a new tv for a while now, but we decided to wait until the Super Bowl sales! We picked our tv up on Thursday before the game and we LOVE it!! Can't wait til next September! :)

Super Bowl desserts!

Havoc "Hoppy" Game

Last night several of us headed to the VBCC to watch the Huntsville Havoc play hockey. Hockey games are always entertaining and this one was the most exciting one I have seen! Both teams were very "mouthy" (if that is a word) and there were several fights. One in particular where the gloves and the helmets come off! We rode with Matt, Angela, andAB over to the game. When we got in the car, I ask AB where are we going and she replied, a Hoppy game! So, from now on they are known as Havoc Hoppy Games!
Surprisingly, AB loved the game and was in to it even after it went into overtime!

AB and her Bobo

Mom, Brett, and Me!

I did not realize she was making funny faces!

Really good fight!

It was a really good game, it went into over time and then a shoot out! Unfortunately the Havoc lost:(

Snow Day!

When I was younger I used to get so excited when it snowed! No school, day playing with friends, and good junk food....When you get older snow days are still exciting but very disappointing because you get up to the snow, but since we usually don't get enough to close down businesses it is off to work I go! Well, not this time!! I was so excited Sunday night I could hardly contain myself, and at this time I was suppose to be at work at 12. Luckily that changed to Tuesday at 12, and this Snow Day has not disapointed me yet!! It brought back so many memories and was just an overall fun day. Played in the snow, made snow cream, ate junk food, watched tv, read part of my book!!! Needless to say, this Snow Day 2011 has been great!
Me and my sweet girl!!

Uncle Bobo and AB (she was a little unsure about the mask at first)

Playing video games after the snow got a little too cold!

Having a snack while watching tv in our pj's!

Snow cream, Yum Yum!

AB dumped a bit too much sugar, but Hey!! It's a snow day, so a little too much sugar is alright!

Not sure about this smile!

AB loved to run from you when she thought you were about to hit her with a snow ball!

Pelting Bobo w/ a snow ball! She was really getting the hang of it!

Red Nose :)

Running from Bobo who is about to throw a snow ball!

Samuel was not really thrilled about the snow!

Our dogs were a little unsure about the snow, Muffin (small one) was having to jump up to get through it! Brownie (big one) was actually using the bathroom here; I guess it did not bother her!

HAPPY SNOW DAY YA'LL!!!

2011

Sunday Afternoon Video Games

As you all know, Al loves playing video games. He has wanted to have some kids over to play for a while now, so today was the day. He invited Tee, Ryan, and Jake over for pizza, cookies, and a little XBOX 360 game playing. They all fit right in together, even my 32 year old husband! :) It was a great Sunday afternoon!!

Merry Christmas to Me!!

I was SUPER surprised about my gift from Al this year! I had wanted a new tv stand for our living room, but I was not expecting this! Al had Bobby Nixon make the cabinets to match our kitchen cabinets and another piece of furniture we have; then he went to B'ham on Christmas Eve to get the granite on top so it would match our countertops! Needless to say, I LOVE it!!! Now he says we just need a bigger tv to sit on it!! :)
