Snow much fun in March 2009

Much to our surprise - the weatherman actually hit it in the right direction. We had in the forcast to get a couple inches of snow - but instead - a foot or more fell on Brownsville, TN and we had drifts of much more than that. It fell on a beautiful Saturday night so look out Sunday - we broke out the four wheeler and the sled and HAD A BLAST!!!!! All the neighborhood children and adults played all day long. Our neighbor Mr Joe Barden, even got the flat bottom boat out and pulled it with the tractor. That was CRAZY but so much fun. We rode till we just couldn't take the cold anymore and then came in and dried off and warmed up and went back at it again. The kids were out of school Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so they played and played and played.

Thank you Jesus for snow and for all the fun we had!!!!!

Yeah - He's finally 10!!!!!

I've been kidding and telling Trey - "I'll be glad when you're old enough to cut the grass - What do you think I had you for anyway?" haha. Well that day has finally come. We have Papa's zero turn Snapper at our house (his spare) and Charlie has been scared to death for him to get on it so I told Trey one day when we could just "play" I'd let him on it. So yesterday I trimmed everything with the push mower and had the back yard ready for him when he got out of school - He got on that big mower and was like a pro!!! He went all over that yard - backwards and forwards and never missed a beat.

Yeah Trey!!!!! A few more practices and maybe I'll let you in the front yard with all my flowers and shrubs! - or maybe next summer.....

Another broken arm

Friday, June 27th, while playing hide and seek with the neighborhood children, Trey decided to climb over our privacy fence instead of going through the gate to get to the front yard and wound up with another break on his right arm. Ashleigh was babysitting him and several others and called me at work. He could wiggle and twist his arm so we thought he was fine. When I got home, he was lying on the couch and started crying when I walked in. Once Charlie got home we decided it was time to visit the Emergency Room, so off to Jackson we went. We were seen immediately (much to my surprise since the waiting room was FULL) and was out of there within an hour. He got a temp. cast and was told to see West Tn Bone and Joint clinic the following week. On Tuesday, Mimi took him to see Dr. Smith and got a nice GREEN cast.

He is going to Centri-Kid childrens camp in Talladega, AL this weekend and then has a week in Panama City with the Johnsons so we are hoping to get a waterproof cast on Wednesday - Please Dr. Smith. haha

Trey's 1st Piano Recital

Since January of this year, Trey has been taking Piano lessons from Ms. Elizabeth Lovell here in Brownsville. She combined with Mrs. Lori Presley Smith of Jackson who teaches voice lessons and held a recital Tuesday night at Brownsville Baptist Church. All the students did wonderfully and didn't seem a bit nervous. At least not as nervous as the parents! haha

Thanks Ms Elizabeth for the wonderful job you have done with Trey. He LOVES piano and I hope he continues to for a long time!!!

Her students are Alyssa Kirby, Callie Gieselmann, Trey Turner, Adelaide Russell & Emmy Parker.

Fall Picture Fun

While enjoying a weekend with Sissy home, what better thing to do than take pictures. We rode around town enjoying the beautiful fall colors everywhere. It was so much fun... until Trey was READY to go home and play!
