Taylor and Grayson

Just a moment with Grayson at Nanas.

Laken at JMS Homecoming

Here is a picture of my cousin Laken when she was a candidate in the JMS Homecoming. Isn't she pretty? She reminds me so much of my aunt Janice only with blonde hair! This is Laken's first year in middle school! Way to go Laken! WE Love You!

Locks of Love

Here's the picture that was in the paper about my sister and her student who gave their hair for Locks of Love.

Red Ribbon Week

Today was wackiest hair day at Tamra's school. You can't really tell it but her hair is standing straight up on top of her head. I put a little bottle on top of her head and then put her hair up around it. Her hair is also different colors, blue and red. I caught her after she got home from school so we could have a memory of her wacky hair. By the way, she won wackiest hairdo in for her class she said she gets her prize tomorrow.

A Fall Day

After church we took some pictures to show some of the fall colors. All these pictures were taken at Taylors Papaw Holbrook. He lives in the town of Pennington on top of a big hill with a great view.
Here's a picture of Tamra in front of a beautiful burning bush.
I took my shoes off in this picture to show off how much taller Taylor is than me! He likes to brag about that! ha!

MY SISTERS HAPPY LITTLE FAMILY! (GRAYSON, BRIAN, CHOPPER, AND AMBER) NOTICE AMBERS HAIRCUT? SHE WENT FROM HAVING IT ALL THE WAY DOWN HER BACK TO THIS SHORT! SHE DONATED HER HAIR TO THE LOCKS OF LOVE.

Jared's 12th birthday

We had jared on this date i decided to make some cupcakes and celebrate his birthday a little bit with just the five of us. His birthday was on sept. the 12th. Since he is getting older he doesn't like to have parties anymore so we knew this was the only time we could spend with him for his birthday. (they grow up so fast!) Happy Birthday Jared! WE Love you!

Leon and Jared with Jareds new gun. (don't ask me what kind! ha!)

Fall Leaves of my Mamaw Stapletons tree.

Heres a couple of pictures I took of some deer that were in a field beside of Taylor's Papaw Larry's house. (and his dad) Keep in mind Taylor's Papaw lives in town. (pennington) He says these deer come out every morning and evening. These are just a few of them! There are more! Not great pictures but I tried! My camera isn't working all that great right now and I haven't been able to download pictures since these pictures were made! Hopefully I will fix the problem soon! Just drives me crazy!!

Tamra at LEe High Ballgame

A night with some old friends

Here are a few of some of my old friends from high school. Some of us haven't spoken in years and it was really great to get to sit down and spend time with one another. All of us live here in Lee County except Dana and she is heading back to Seattle tomorrow night. It was a time for us to get together before she leaves. Kandi has been getting everyone motivated for a class reunion. We missed our 15th year so this will be like our 17th year reunion! HA! Who has that but the class of 1989??!! She has been working really hard to get everyone together. Dana wouldn't be able to make it so at least we all got to see her before she leaves. I didn't get to stay and enjoy the whole evening with everyone but I enjoyed the time that I did get to be there. I now look forward to our class reunion scheduled for Oct. It should be interesting! We are doing a Halloween theme with costumes and all! Oh yeah, from left to right is ME, Dana, Shawn, Kandi, and Amy......in case no one recognizes us! HA!
