Bama "Highlights"

We had another awesome time with family and friends in Alabama so I am going to just hit the highlights and share some of my favorite pictures.......

Pool Party for Hannah's 19th birthday at Mike and Jenn's house in Caladonia, MS.......

She's so beautiful!!! Fun around the pool..............

Below is Haven jumping off the diving board in her waterproof cast!!! YAY!!! She felt "normal" for once in 9 weeks!

Landon and Chloe.....

Faith and Haven on the slide............

Bren and Haven....such a sweet picture!

All of Nana's grandchildren!! (This was taken AFTER being in the pool so the girls were not very happy with their appearance....please don't kill me girls!!! You are beautiful!)

Me with my brothers Robby, Kerry, and Mike

We traveled to Milan, TN to see MIke's best friend Randy and his wife Penny. Mike preached at his church on Sunday night and then we went to Holly Pond to spend time with friends.

Making pizza with Bonnie is always a highlight!

We got to see many of our friends in a short amount of time and I didn't make many pictures. Mason and Landon got to see a lot of their Parkside school friends at a surprise birthday party for Hunter Whitehead. They also got to spend some time with the Tankersleys.....

I am so thankful for the time I got spend with Jeff and Tammy Silvey, Bonnie and Shane Bowman, Jessica and Jerry Creel, Dawn Wright, Tracy Tankersley, Appi Pate, and Cathy Bell...such a short time with each of you but thankful for what I can get!

Then we'll never forget the tornado damage....this was some shots of Cullman

This use to be East Side Baptist Church (above)
And below where whole blocks of buildings are just gone

And another highlight is always special times with cousins and grandparents.......

We finally got to meet Brayden, our great nephew....he is so adorable!!!!

All of the Owen grandchildren.........
....






Football with the cousins.....

And we'll always remember that this was the trip we said goodbye to this little fellow......

We found a great home for "Bama" in Bama and it was emotional departure from Gordo due to this!! (Never thought I could get so upset over a stupid dog!)

Then we traveled back to Colorado and just outside of Tucumcari, New Mexico, this happened....

At 5:00AM, we had a blow out. Praise God that we didn't wreck and He provided for us that early in the morning. May God pour out His blessings on the saint that got up at 5:44am to replace our tire!

We also spent time with our aunts, uncles, and cousins but I didn't pull out the camera during those times. I always regret it when I realize it! It was a great, very memorable trip and spending time with many of you made our lives a little SWEETER!

Kaye and Hershel's 50th Wedding Anniversary

Our reason for visiting Alabama in June (during baseball season here) was to celebrate Mike's parents 50th Wedding Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary Kaye and Hershel!!!!

We had a great turn out and the cake and food was great! Thank you to all who came out to help us celebrate!

Here are some shots from the day.......

The only family that got to come out was Hershel's sister and brother-in-law, Earlene and Paul Hamilton. It was so good to see them because for us it had been several years. The food was catered by Shelia Puckett and a lady that Kayci works with, named Crystal Buck, did the cake for us. It was beautiful and tasted GREAT so if you need a cake in the Gordo/Tuscaloosa area, call Crystal via Kayci. We also had two photographers there so they have a lot of pics to share with us and I can't wait to see them.

I enjoyed visiting with many of you and what an honor it was to be a part of such a major celebration!! We love you Pop and Mama Kaye!!

New, Shorter Cast

BEFORE..............

CUTTING IT OFF.......

The waterproof lining.....

The new tie-dyed cast!

It is still non-weight bearing but shorter and we can get it wet!! It took a little while to get use to being able to move her knee around. We go back in 3 weeks and then we might can go to a walking cast. YAY!
