Redneck Father's Day 2010

Sunday was Father's Day.  Dad, Mom and I loaded up the dogs and headed to the lake....Sounds easy right??  WRONG! While putting the 3 dogs in the truck, Izzie jumped back out and decided to go for a 25 minute run.  When she finally couldn't run anymore (after mom and I chased her around every yard on their street) she stopped and let me get her leash and load her in the truck.  

Once we get to the lake and start to put in, the boat comes off the trailer....thank goodness there were some people to help dad get us situated. 

While waiting for Dennis to come up from Cookeville to meet us, Baxter decides he needs to go to shore....and take a 25 minute run too....and of course Izzie had to join in on the fun....I'm so glad I have a good dog. =)

CMA Festival 2010

As I'm sure all of you know, last week was CMA Festival in Nashville.  I have live in Tennessee for almost 20 years and I have never been.  On Saturday night I went to the nightly concert with my parents and my bother. The show was great, but HOT! 

The line up for the night included: Randy Houser, Easton Corbin, Billy Currington, Zac Brown Band, Martina McBride & Rascal Flatts.

Vacation Bible School

I recently had the pleasure of working at the Hopewell Baptist Church 2010 Vacation Bible School. The theme was "Saddle Ridge Ranch."  I was with the 2 year old class.  We had a BLAST! We made all sorts of cool things including a stick horse for the kids.  On Thursday there was even a petting zoo!  On Friday it was family night.  The kids attempted to sing a couple of songs for their parents. It was so cute.  I took lots of pictures, but am not comfortable posting pictures of other peoples children.

Its Been So Long....

I feel like it has been forever since I blogged.  But I have been so busy!! Work has been crazy, but is about to get back to normal. I got my new phone and love it!!!  This week has been Vacation Bible School at Hopewell Baptist.  I am working in the 2 year old class, which has been so much fun. I am working Saturday, but will be going to Zac Brown Band that night!

Sophie's First Day at the Lake

On Sunday, Dad, Mom, Dennis & I loaded up the 3 dog, after Izzie decided to run through the woods, and head to Percy Priest Lake. This was the first Lake day of the year as well as Sophie's first time to the lake.  I bought her a life jacket this week and had her wear it some, but she wasn't impressed with it.

SHE LOVED IT!

Notice how she doesn't even care about the life jacket anymore. 

Baxter doesn't like the water very much.
