Oh how i am months and months behind on wedding blogging. Oh well, we have to start somewhere and I am starting with Amy and Nathans wedding awesomeness. They are such a cool couple. They LOVE the outdoors and hiking so it was fitting that they had there ceremony at Owl Creek Properties in Franklin. This happens to be one of their favorite spots… here we go into photoland….

Thanks you guys for having me! I loved it!

Meet the newest member of our family! Frankie Callahan! She is AWESOME!

I have been visiting the Putnam County Humane Society (animal shelter) on a weekly bases for about 2 months. Millie (my youngest daughter) and I, fell in love with a puppy named “Blue”. He was so cute. Big, fat, clumsy, and playful. He was definitely going to be a HUGE dog when he was full grown. I went home that afternoon and consulted my hubby, who reminded me of all of the poop piles that I was going to have to clean up on a daily bases. Blue was also going to have to be an outdoor dog because of his size. It didn’t matter…I was ready to be on poop patrol and deal with barking and digging and all that goes with an outdoor doggie. Millie, Josie(my oldest) two of josie’s friends and I,went back to the shelter the next day to purchase Blue. We got there and all of the girls just thought he was adorable. We made a couple of rounds to check out the other dogs they had, and every time we would pass through the lobby, there was a cute little white dog just quietly sitting there looking up at us. Before I knew it, all of the girls had gathered in the front lobby. “we love THIS dog”. That’s what i heard for the next 30 minutes. Guess what? No Blue for us. We settled on Sally.We renamed her Frankie and brought her home. Sure, she has her quirks. She had been hit by a car previously and has a permanent limp. She is scared to death of men and she is no guard dog. Oh yeah, she gets carsick. We are working on everything but the limp! Otherwise, she’s perfect. She is full grown so she isn’t hyper, she is already potty trained, she doesn’t bark,she snuggles, she loves children and most importantly she loves me the best! Seriously we couldn’t have picked a better one. If you are thinking getting a dog PLEASE do yourself and all the strays a favor and visit the shelter. You won’t be sorry!

She looks like she has black eyeliner on! She is so cute! We love her!

Parker is now 6 months old. How time flies! You probably remember seeing him being born a few months ago on the blog. Well here he is in all of his baby glory!

Here Parker has his first bite of bananas! I always love getting pictures of “firsts”.

could say that the bananas were an absolute hit!

What a dollbaby. Love you guys!………

Okay I just got back from another incredible birthing session. Crosby Sheets just came into the world at roughly 8 pounds and 21 inches… Cara you did awesome! Congratulations!

Ok so my youngest child Millie has been soooo excited to start soccer this year. We had signed up to play last year, got on a team of all boys, got pushed down the very first practice, and never went back. So fresh start this year right? Pink shin guards, check. Nice new soccer ball, check. Cool silver cleats,check. Cute pink carry bag, check! Other girls on the team, check. So she gets out on the field and here we go ……. happy soccer season 2011!!!

So this pathetic face and sudden loss of all motor skills went on for the first 10 minutes…

After I had lost all hope for any sort of participation for at least this practice.. she came through! Go Millie!

Immediately after her practice, it was off to see big sister cheer a the ATMS vs. Sparta game! Brings back fond memories of Cookeville Jr. High School for me.

They didn’t win, but they played a good game! Maybe next time!
