~A Walk Down Memory Lane~

Come for a walk with me down Memory Lane!
And if you have a "Memory Lane" post, head on over to Scottsville to join in on the fun!

My walk today is First Days of School Past....and Present....it is bittersweet how fast the time goes by and how much your kids change over the years and how wonderful it is to watch them blossom and grow into the beautiful individuals, and young adults, they become.

Here we go....

Here is Brittany and Jacob, August '99.


1st Grade for Jacob (6 years old)



6th Grade for Brittany (11 years old)



Brittany and Jacob in August '00


2nd Grade for Jacob (7 years old)


7th Grade for Brittany (12 years old)


Jacob, August 2009 (16 years old ~ 11th Grade)


Unfortunately, I don't have a current picture of Brittany on her first day of UTSA...which was today...:-(

But I do have this one of her graduating Navarro College and getting her Associate's Degree this past May/June (Magna Cum Laude)


I am so lucky to have these two wonderful kids in my life!!

This Past Weekend

This past weekend I had the best time ever with old friends, and family.

Went out to dinner with an old, and very dear friend Thursday and ended up spending more time with him Friday. Was a very pleasant surprise!

Then Saturday went to my Mom and my sister's, and drug my sister out to The Ranch with me, in Rockdale. Met up with old friends, and had a total BLAST!!

Although I didn't take any pics of all my outings, these two pics are my favorites...my niece, Brynly, played dress-up Sunday before I left to come home and she is the cutest thing. She just makes me smile...so I thought maybe you could get the same reaction...smiles are contagious, after all...



Here she is posing.....Vogue look out!! Tee hee...




And, the MANY ponytails...LOL. Everywhere she felt hair we had to make a ponytail.

I wish we lived closer....

~ A Walk Down Memory Lane ~

Come for a walk with me down Memory Lane!
And if you have a "Memory Lane" post, head on over to Scottsville to join in on the fun!

Today I am taking a walk down Memory Lane, back to June of 2002, when Doug and I took the kids on vacation and drove through Memphis, TN....stopping to take a tour of Graceland....


Here's Brittany and Jacob outside of Elvis' house...teehee....

Then driving up to Gatlinburg, TN, where we had the best time EVER!!





I'm pretty sure the kids will agree that this was one of the best vacations ever...even considering Disney World, which was pretty dang amazing!!
