A Boy and his Dog

Brighton has been paying alot of attention to "Yesley" lately. He has to kiss him good night and is always wondering out loud "what is Yesley doing?". I took these yesterday morning before school.

A Boy and his Dad

These pictures are not the best quality. Partially due to my crappy camera that I need to replace and partially due to the distance that I was standing away. Yesterday evening I was in the kitchen making dinner. Jason had taken Brighton outside to play. I stepped out on the screened in porch to get a peek at them, and this is what I saw. They were fishing. It totally melted my heart! What a sweet, sweet moment! They caught 3 fish by the way!!

St. Patrick's Day Weekend

We had quite a weekend! It started out rough, but then took a turn for the better. Friday we were outside on the swing set. Lacey, Mickey, Jameson and Michael were over. Brighton and Jameson were hiding eggs for a practice egg hunt. All of a sudden, Wesley started yelping out in pain. He was in the water or at the shoreline and was jumping and wincing. We thought he had been bitten by a snake at 1st, but Jason and Mickey went to check it out, and poor Wes had gotten a fishing lure hooked in his paw, and hooked good. They realized it was more than they could handle. The kids were scared, so Lacey and I took them inside. They guys rushed Wesley to the vet. He had to be put to sleep but they got it out, and gave him some meds to keep him from getting infected over the next week. He is walking around just fine now. Thank goodness he is okay.


Since Saturday was St. Patrick's Day, we all dressed in our finest green and went downtown for the parade. The weather could not have been more perfect! We met Lacey, Mickey and the girls as well as Kelly and Craig. Later that day my mom had us over for corned beef and cabbage. A mighty fine and lucky day!

Sunday I did some shopping and Jason worked in the yard. Wesley is recovering just fine!!

Cousins doing Ring-Around-The-Rosie!

Nice weather brings smiles all around!! Yay Spring. We welcome you tomorrow!

Swinging into Spring!

It is almost here. Spring! The weather here has been off and on lately, but for the most part it is has been nice. It has started to warm up. With daylight savings time back, Brighton will be spending much more time outside. Yay for springtime!!

We have had some work done around the outside of our house. Jason, his step brother and step Dad built this deck by the water while I was in Savannah. It turned out great! Now we will have a place to hang out by the water and Jason has a place to fish. Since we have no boat or jet ski, this is all we need for now. If that ever changes, Jason has some additional plans in mind!

Billie's Bachelorette Weekend

Last weekend a group of 7 girls went to Savannah for Billie's bachelorette party weekend. It was lots of fun. A bit more low key than some of the bachelorette party weekends I have been on before, but in a good way! I think we are finally growing up! Probably not, but I would like to think so! We had a nice relaxing time. Had good food and drinks and some sightseeing as well.

The place we stayed in was a condo. It was super cute. I think it went over and beyond our expectations. It was really close to everything. Other than when it rained, we could walk anywhere we wanted to go. We went to River Street a couple of times, as well as The Lady & Sons for lunch. We also did one of those hearst ghost tours. It was kind of cheesy but fun!


It was a fun weekend and I think it gave us a bit of Spring fever as the weather was mostly beautiful during the day.

The whole group of us.
