FUN WEEKEND


We have had a fun weekend...Judy (Michael's Mom)
had a conference in Birmingham this week and she
was able to come to Atlanta before heading back to
Birmingham to fly back to Tulsa...
Michael was able to spend some time with his Mom
on Friday. Then we went to dinner with Michael's brothers
John and James.
Saturday we were able to take sweet Sammy Jo shopping for
her birthday...it was a whirlwind through Town Center Mall
but a memorable whirlwind!

Sammy was so cute in the clothes she tried on and we had fun
dressing her....Grandma Judy bought her some cute clothes...




We love our Sweet niece Sammy!

Laura (James' girlfriend), Judy, Sammy and I were having fun finding clothes for James too....we put this sweater up to him (the color was great for him)
We were surrounding him and this man came by and told Jamie...
"You don't have a snowballs' chance...God Love Ya!"
We were laughing so hard...It was one of those perfect moment times...
Great memory!
After the mall, we headed to my favorite places...the Temple and the Bookstore..
This was Laura's first time to see the Temple...
and Judy and I at the Bookstore...it was fun
...lots of great bargains at the bookstore..
After we went to dinner at Applebees...Judy and I headed to Coldwater Creek where
my Mom and Dad met us...
Mom, Judy and I got matching sweaters...

Shirley, Laura and Judy...
(The picture in the back is my senior picture... a then and now picture..)
Then we have come back home to watch movies and spend some time with the
Hunter of the day...Michael....(he got an 8 pointer today)
Looking forward to Sunday and our YSA's
Another highlight ...being able to talk with sweet Jessica today too... :)
(that always makes it a good day...)
KEEP SMILING!
