Abbey's faces

MeMe has taught Abbey to make this new face and I've been trying so hard to get it on film. Everyone wants a shot of it and today at lunch she made this grinning face and I got it with the camera. Here are the many faces of Abbey Claire...

(the last one is the new "grin" face)

Sunday picture

I was so excited about being ready in time to make Sunday pictures today that I downloaded them as soon as I got back from church. Only one turn out clear, but it is a great one.

It's been a while.

It's been a while since I have put anything on the blog. I've been very busy with work and our little Abbey, but thought I would send a few pictures so you can see how we have been. Don't worry, I still keep up with my friends blogs, even if I don't say anything myself. I really admire those of you who write on a regular basis. Enjoy the pictures and I'll try to do better at leaving messages.

I have to brag (just a little)

I've been decorating cakes for about four years now. Nothing too difficult , but I have made them for money and have helped out at my friend's bakery when she gets too over booked with cakes. I think I have a creative mind for it. Anyway, I have to brag just a little on this cake. About a month ago, a lady I work with mentioned the big party that her family has every year to send her nephew off to training camp. He has played for the Steelers, the Vikings and is playing this year for the Tennessee Titans. I decided to make one of my cakes for his party and I just wanted to show you know how it turned out. I was very proud of it.

Sunday pics...

My camera has not been working very good and it makes it even harder when Abbey doesn't want to stay still, but here is a pic from a few weeks ago on a Sunday morning that I just got off the camera. Don't you just love the hat?

Sunday Pictures (Thanks for the idea, Mindy!)

Well, I haven't had much to say lately so I haven't blogged in a while. But I was talking with my aunt recently and she mentioned how she hates that she doesn't get to see Abbey on Sunday with all her cute outfits (apparently word has spread, via the little old ladies, that Abbey always has something cute on for church on Sunday). Well, I decided to take a page from my friend of a friend, Mindy's blog and start putting Sunday pictures of Abbey on here so family can see her in her Sunday best. I have taken pictures the past few weeks and these are what I have so far. Both dresses were gifts from Meme. The last one is just a picture of me and Abbey after we changed out of our Sunday clothes.

It won't be long...

Till it's football time in Tennessee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Around this time of year I start getting tired of the heat and I'm ready for the cool crisp air of fall, but most of all I'm ready for some football. I love football, it is truely a passion. I love to have tailgate food, friends over and I get so wrapped up in a game that it is almost silly. I think I love football more than my husband does, although he gets pretty wrapped up in it too. I have reserved season tickets to the local high school games, I print out all of the schedules for our favorite college and pro teams, I plan get togethers, vacations or any necessary trips around the football schedules and my house turns orange and two shades of blue for football (funny how all our favorite teams have these colors in common). I love it. This year we will have to work around the baby, but I don't think that will be a problem. She needs to learn from a young age what is important in life, FOOTBALL. We have already started teaching her to say "Go Vols!". For those of you who might be as crazy as I am, and have started to look at the fall line ups, here is a great link to remind you of last year and get you excited about the future.

Let's hear it, REBS! Go Vols! How about those Titans! And charge on Broncos! Let's get ready for a great season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Look for local boy, Eric Taylor, on the LP Field this year for the Titan's defense. We are really proud of him.
