Courtney's Week Alone

Courtney had a week with her parents all to herself, while her brothers were camping out of state. Elaine took Courtney to get her fingernails and toenails painted and then Daddy took Courtney car shopping. Courtney kept reminding her father it was her special day so Daddy took Courtney and Elaine to see G-FORCE the movie and dinner.

Birthday Wishes

I had a great 34Th birthday, and if you don't know my real age I'm NOT advertising it. Elaine made a wonderful dinner and the desert was too awesome. The desert was layered with chocolate pudding, peanut butter whipped topping and brownies. "YUM,YUM"!

My sweetheart created a anniversary photo album with all of my favorites photo's. It's nice after a hard day of work to come home and look at my album.

C.J., Jeremy and Courtney gave me a nice pair of plaid shorts and shirt. It's was a birthday to remember.

Patio Swimming and Kitchen Picnic

On June 27, 2009 Ashley and Ethan came to visit Courtney and they had a great time. It's amazing, how their little mind's work!!! Courtney filled a wheel barrel full of water and were practicing to be Olympic swimmers and divers. Later that evening, Aunt Elaine create a picnic dinner and they ate on the kitchen floor while Uncle Clay finished painting the living room.

"AMAZING"

Yesterday, Elaine and I were having a telephone conversation when Jeremy asked his mother to open a pickle jar. Jeremy was surprised at how easily his mother opened the jar and exclaimed " Mom You Are AMAZING." Courtney quickly chimed in with her older brother and exclaimed " Mom You Are AMAZING." I could hear Elaine's excitement and I could tell it made her day. When I arrived home, Courtney immediately shared the AMAZING story with me and how it made her mothers day. ELAINE " You Are AMAZING"

Nineteen Years and Still Going

ELAINE & CLAY. . .just celebrated our nineteenth anniversary at Saint Petersburg Beach, Florida. It was an adventure! We took our chances and used Price Line to find the hotel. WOW! what great deal! We wern't sure if we made the right decision at first, but it worked out great. We were able to up-grade the room to a bungalow for free and received free parking and a beach cabana at no extra charge. What more could we ask for, right?!? We enjoyed getting away and spending alone time on the beach. We watched the sunset while eating in the Grand Hotel that had a revolving restaurant and got to shop at our first two (2) story Publix. (of course the parking garage was the part that made it two-story :)

I can't believe life goes by so fast. It feels like yesterday, I saw this beautiful young lady walk into the Marion County Clerk's Office. I remember running up to the counter to meet Elaine and hearing her talking about the blue jeep in the parking lot and the rest is in the history books.
