Roll Tide! National Champs! Got 13!

Bama Wins National Championship!!! Woo hoo!!!

My den with my banner I made for the game.

Roll Tide! Boy being out of school today AND knowing our Bama boys pulled it out--um--good stuff! Crimson Tide has rolled all over Texas! Roll Tide Roll! Pictured are my friends, l-r- Taylor Howell, Russ, Larry Howell, Michael Daniel, Steve Guy, Front- Marsha Howell, Amy Daniel, Tina Guy and me.Michael, Tina, Steve and Russ pulling Bama in for a win at Michael and Amy's last night.Here's Amy. She's in her game shirt and jeans and that's HER chair behind her. We all have our good luck seats and nobody gets to get in them when Bama plays and we're there watching it! Parker and Houston are playing their fav XBox 360 in Houston's room after watching the game at our house. I couldn't get them to pose in our group picture.

Evan and Zack came over to the Daniel's after the big win to see all of us. Below are Taylor Howell, Zack, and Evan.

Russ and Michael celebrating after the big win. Now these are two loyal Bama fans! I've enjoyed being with Michael, Amy and Houston through football season so much. It's been something I've looked forward to every week. I can't wait for the next season...and I've really never felt like this before! I don't know.. I guess just being a girl and all...but now...I'm hooked. I want the boys and Russ and I to meet Mark Ingram and Coach Saban so bad!! Hmm....let's see.....

Happy Birthday, Mom!

We gathered at Olive Garden to celebrate Mom's 66th birthday. The boys even ventured out with us just for their Mimi. See, boys at this age prefer to stay at home while their parents go out now....do ya think they're embarrassed of us or something? Mimi is very special to get them to the restaurant! We had fun- they should join us more often.

More Christmas pics

Well, we weren't dressed up, but we were together! Christmas was wonderful as usual, and I feel very blessed to all be together and happy on this day of our Savior's birth. Mom came and surprised the boys on Christmas morning. We were so glad to see her, and you can tell....she was glad to see us!

This was a joke pose by Evan. This blue ball was for my grandmother's house for Christmas and they were clowning around with it posing all morning. Notice Evan's fine Tapout shirt.....ugh I hate that thing....

Merry Christmas!

Russ is waiting on the sleeping beauties to come down the stairs to see their stash.... Evan has arrived on the scene and gets the boots he's been needing.

Another sleepyhead comes in and finds the basketball first then the big present with his name on it.

This is only a fraction of my Dept. 56 Snow Village I displayed this year. My Dad gives me the pieces for birthday and Christmas, and every year I look forward to adding to my treasures.

Mom came and surprised the boys. It's always hard when she leaves. Boy you can tell Parker has grown here. Doesn't Mom look cute in her wig? Only two chemos to go. You rock, Mom!

Jenn Woodall Family Pics

Meet Jennifer Woodall and her husband, Matt, son, Maddox, and daughter Mattie. Jenn teaches second grade at my school and she's my very bestest friend. She lives about 10 mi. away, so we get to visit often. I really love going to her house and seeing the kids. They're so cute! Don't ya think?
Jenn's reading Goodnight Moon I brought to Maddox. He's hooked.

Mr. Maddox Fisher. Just check those eyes and that grin out. Oh, so cute!

Beautiful Mattie Ruth! I love this picture. Mattie knows how to pose and loves to take pictures herself. Cutie Pie!

Christmas with Russ's Family

This is our family on Russ's side. We gathered Sunday to eat and visit. We had a great time and it was good to see everybody. Even though they only live about 10 miles from us, we never get to see them because we're all so busy.

Thorsby Christmas Parade

This is the first time in years that we've gone to our town's Christmas Parade. Evan wanted to go this year so we went leaving Parker behind (he said he's good). We ran into Kelly and Cathy and Alexa and Wyatt and Teresa and Barry and grandkids and we all froze! The parade was good and it put us all in the Christmas spirit. Glad we went.

My brother, Kelly and me freeeezing.

Kelly and Alexa. She gladly wore her Paw's hunting jacket to avoid the cold wind.
