Strong Wheels

Today is the official "1st" day of Brownsville's Biggest Looser Competition. Sponsered by the Hospital and the YMCA. There were so many people that have joined this competition I think even the "officials" were supprised. I am so proud to be a part of this and I think it is a HUGE step for Brownsville. The most important part of it for me is that Ashleigh and I are doing this together. Not only have I let myself go for a long time - my daughter is following in my footsteps and that breaks my heart into! I want to be such a positive role model for her and I have really let her down in this area. I pray that this will bring us closer as well as making us both healthier.

Joining us to make up our team of 4 is my lifelong friend Lisa Winchester Johnson and also Gail Carver. We are gonna be the best. I am so pumped I can hardly sleep.

Please pray that this will be a life change for all of us! I want us to all be around for a long time to enjoy our children.

Painted clothing by "Ashleigh"

Along with painting canvas', Ashleigh enjoys painting clothing. She painted this adorable dress for our Anne Alise and it is the cutest! This painting was $20.00. Let us know if you have something in mind for your child.

Fall Break Fun

We were headed to Natchez Trace for a camping weekend but since it was at FULL capacity by early Friday morning the second best place was CHICKASAW!!! The Johnsons, The Douglass', Mimi, Papa, and US! We had so much fun - hiking, visiting, playing and of course EATIN!

Charlie wound up staying till Wednesday with Hunter and Trey. What better way to enjoy this beautiful fall weather. Next comes the Fall Festival. More will come later.

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.....

Ashleigh's paintings

Ashleigh is doing canvas paintings and can do anything requested. Just thought I would post a few pictures of ones she has done in the past. If you have an interest in something just email us.

4th of July weekend

This 4th of July we camped at Chickasaw. Mimi, Papa, Charlie, Lora, Trey, Greg & Jenny Douglass, Jacob Smith and Cody West. It turned cloudy and cooler and was WONDERFUL!! We enjoyed 4-wheelin, horseback riding, paddle boating, resting and EATING! (That is always top on the list.) haha We met a new family - new to camping - from Oxford (Sherry and Les) and enjoyed helping with their children and showing them the ropes. They are a young family who have adopted 6 beautiful children. They really had their hands full.
