Show us your life Friday

”Show Us Your Life with Kelly's Korner”

Today's Show us your life is Pets.  I thought I would join in today because my pets are my babies!  I call them my Chocolate Children. They are human I swear!  ha.

They are both Chocolate Labs.  Banjo is the big dog,  he's our 2 year old lab.  Birdie is the little one, she's now 10 months old.  We had just gotten her in the picture below.



Below is Birdie Now.  She's a little on the small side for a Lab but shes spunky and loving all at the same time.  She will make a good Duck Hunting dog one day, that's what we got her for!

  • Birdie Loves to play with Balls and enjoys sleeping. 

  • Birdie snores worse than a fat man and loves to give mommy kisses.

  • She's small for her breed (around 40 lbs) so she loves to cuddle in mommy's lap

  •  Her favorite snack food is blueberries. 

  • Birdie is trained to sit, stay, come, and fetch but she's still learning!!


This is Banjo, He is a beautiful Big, Chocolate Lab.  He's a Great Duck Hunter, he just has really bad hip problems.  He was hit by a car when he was little and it broke his hip.  We found out during x-rays that he had very bad Hip displasia. (sp?)  He has since gotten worse, so we try to keep him from being too active, it's just really hard because he loves running around on the farm.  He's really laid back and has the funniest personality! 


  • Banjo loves to carry things around in his mouth, whether its a stick, a piece of straw, or a leaf, he always has something in is mouth, always!
  • He loves to have his belly rubbed and will walk up to you and paw at your hand until you rub his belly, it's quite annoying.

  • Banjo is whistle trained to fetch, sit, stay, and he is very good at it!  He enjoys staying close by and staring at you while your eating because usually he gets little bites, he really likes deer meat! 

  • Banjo can shake, roll over, and pretty much do whatever you want him to. 
  • His favorite toy is his cloth duck, that got ran over by the lawnmower and is now just a piece of fabric, it's quite sad. 

They are both the most loving dogs I've ever been around.  They sleep in the bedroom with us on their dog beds and follow us around everywhere.  I love my dogs!! (it's probably unhealthy!!)
One day I will have children that will replace my obsession with my Dogs, but for now my Chocolate children are my babies :)

School Pictures

Today's Show us your Life Friday is School Pictures. Below is my Kindergarten picture. This was my favorite outfit. I would've worn it at least once a week if Mom would've let me. It showed my stomach ha!

I believe below is my First Grade photo. Apparently I had started to practice the "fake smile" at this point in time.
By second Grade I had mastered the "fake smile" a little bit more..it actually looks semi-real now.

By Junior High I have actually gone backwards at perfecting the "fake smile" I just look very shocked and surprised in this photo.
By my senior year, I was so tired of the fake Smile so I just seductively looked into the camera.

By College I had Perfected the "fake smile" 100% and it looks as if I'm naturally smiling, happy to be in front of the camera.

Thanks for reliving that horror of puberty with me!! Happy Labor Day!

Show us your Life

This Weeks Show us your life that Kelly is hosting is Favorite Vacation Spots. My most favorite Vacation was my Honeymoon but I already posted about that Last week! So this week I'd like to show you my other Favorite vacation spot, Cancun Mexico!! I went about 4 years ago with my two College roommate, and three of our other best friends. We were all Sorority Sisters.This was our Hotel. I don't remember the Name but it had Mayan in it...Look how blue the water was!!We had a little to much Tequila at the pool bar. Mindy, the girl with her tongue out is really funny! She couldn't speak a lick of Spanish so she would just talk to everyone we saw in English but with a Spanish accent, it was hilarious. We went shopping down town at some of the markets. We got lost and had to walk a couple miles to find a bus stop. It was scary.We went to Margaritaville...And shopped at Margaritaville..We went SCUBA diving, which was the most amazing experience!We went to see some of the Mayan Ruins..It was amazing!Then on the way home from the ruins, our drivers said Let me take you all to a Sink Hole! We were a little leery at first but then we agreed, then he turned onto this trail into the woods in the middle of nowhere and we got a little scared. Then all of the sudden this beautiful sink hole with tons of people everywhere appeared. It was the best time!


This was a fun vacation with the girls! If you ever get a chance to go to Cancun...GO! But wait until the swine flu epidemic is over!!

Have a great weekend, I'm off to the Rodeo!

Honeymoon

It's Friday!! Today's "Show us your life" that Kelly is hosting is Honey Moon's receptions. Since I have zero pictures of my reception on my computer, you get to see about one million pictures of my honeymoon!

We had THE best time on our honey moon! I've posted about it before here. We went to Aruba and spent seven nights and eight days in paradise and we had a blast.

We left the airport in Texarkana at 5 a.m. Can you tell Sean was a little tired??

We arrived at our Hotel The Grand Occidental and had champagne and free stuff waiting for us!!Our hotel was all inclusive so free drinks & food! Here's the view from our room.
Our Hotel had lots of stuff for us to do. There were four really nice restaurants. One was a Hibachi Grill and Sean got to try an egg trick. We also had a casino in our Hotel. Which was probably a bad decision on my part. Sean stayed at this table a lot. Except for when he went missing. You can read about it about halfway down this post.We probably shouldn't have had any of the free drinks in the Casino....We went sight seeing around the Island on Jeeps. These towers you see are stacked up by the tourists (us) for good luck in fertility. Sean wouldn't let me build one!SO I did when he wasn't looking.This church was really really old, it was cool. We visited the Famous Light house.And some really old rock building thing that was crumbling down.We went Parasailing...We went to Senor Frogs..We went fishing..
And this is what I got when I got home...Banjo!
We had the best time in Aruba. I highly recommend going there if you want a relaxing, romantic vacation and the Grand occidental was amazing!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great weekend!

Wedding Flowers/Party

Today's "Show us your life" that Kelly is hosting, is Wedding Party/Flowers/rest of your wedding! I'm excited to see every one's pictures! My photographer was great, but we opted for a coffee table book that had a collage of all my wedding pictures. It was beautiful but unfortunately I don't have many pictures to put online, they are all hard copies, not digital.

Here's a pic of me and my bridesmaids.
Music:
I had the candle lighters light the candles to "the feather theme" if you've ever watched Forrest Gump it's the piano song they play at the end of the movie when the feather is floating in the air. I watched Forrest Gump a few months before the wedding and thought it was so pretty!! I had two songs sung by my uncle and cousins who live in Nashville TN and are extremely talented musicians. They sang "Oh Love" by Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood, and another song that I'm not quite sure of the title but it was something along the lines of "When God made you he must have been thinking of me." That song was sung as the parents were being seated. We walked down the Isle to the traditional wedding march. After Dad gave me away, as Sean and I were were walking up the steps my uncle sang the first verse of "Look at You Girl" by Chris Ledoux and my cousin played the guitar. It was sweet, I cried. We left to the traditional wedding song that everyone uses to exit to, I'm not sure of the name of it...


Wedding Attire:
This is my wedding party pictured below. I have so many friends that it was either four brides maids, which consisted of my two sisters, my cousin, and my best friend in the world, or about 15 bridesmaids, and I just couldn't afford that!

I don't know if you can tell in the photo but the Bridesmaids' dresses were tea length and had a white ribbon around the waist. The flower Girls were exactly the opposite, white with black ribbons. I don't have any photo's of my candle lighters on this computer, but there were three, the two girls wore orange and pink dresses that matched my flowers, and the boy wore a tux with a yellow vest.

The guys specifically asked to be "blacked out" so they wore black vests, black shirts, and black ties. They thought they looked so "Johnny Cash" They threatened to wear Sunglasses. I told them I would kill them all if that happened. Except I just edited a few of the words I used because my mother reads this blog. :)

I had two flower girls and two ring bearers. Two of them had parents in the wedding party and the other two were like family to me so I wanted them to be apart of the wedding. I was glad I asked two flower girls, because one of the flower girls saw her grandmother as she was halfway down the isle and decided to just stop there and sit with her.
Flowers/Decorations
Ok so in the picture below, ignore the bride and look at the back ground. If you'll look in the picture above you can see the four wooden posts that are holding up the flowers, in the picture below you can only see two of them. I wanted some type of arch and my dad and one of his friends made this out of our old wooden swing set that they had taken down about a year earlier.

The florist draped lots of greet from the top and put a huge arrangement in the center. (See below) It was beautiful, there were two arrangements on the ground on either side and ferns across the half wall behind us. (you can see that in the picture above)




My colors were yellow, orange, fuchsia, and black. I used Day Lily's, Gerbera Daisy's and roses as my flowers. Below are the bouquets. The bridesmaids' bouquets were wrapped at the bottom with black satin ribbon and mine was wrapped in green grass like stuff, (I'm sure there is a specific name for the green grass like stuff, I just don't know it.)The pic above and the pic below are just more of my bouquets, my two sisters are the girls below.
Check out my Wedding Dress from the past "Show us your life Friday!"

Well that's all the pictures I have on this computer. Hope you enjoyed looking at my stuff!! :) Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your weekend!
