A new hobby...

As you all know, I am a HUGE picture FREAK!!! So...I have started taking a photography class. It is a lot of fun and I am learning a lot! Here a few pics of my first assignment which was Downtown Paragould.

Our second assignment was to take pictures of things that people wouldn't recognize when viewing the objects. See if you can tell what these pics are of!?!?

(pics are: pompon on Razorback Barbie, looking up a chest of drawers, a speaker, a light fixture, a toeshoe, bananas, ice, tailight, top of outside AC unit, silver serving piece, inside of our fire place)

Our third assignment was capturing a sequenced event, and a few environmental shots.

JUNE!!!!

Well now that July is half way over, I will do my June update! The summer has been so busy and I can't believe it's halfway over! June was filled with lots of fun things...we visited Jennifer and Win Coleman in Batesville the first weekend of June. They had a little boy, Cooper, last October and it was time to get the kids together and see the house they just built. We had such a great time, it was a quick trip but good to hang out, it had been too long!
Ensley and I went to Harrison the following weekend so mom could keep E while I worked Mtn. Home.
The next weekend, we had our Annual Sound Concepts Cookout/Crawfish Boil. Actually, it was supossed to be annual the first time we did it 3 summers ago, but haven't gotten around to doing it again til now! We had such a great time, the SC gang is like family and SC wouldn't be what it is today without these guys! We love yall and thank you for your hard work!! I wish I had a pic of all the "gang" together.
The next weekend was Ensley's big b-day bash!!
Aunt Meme's b-day was Sunday the 28th, so she and I celebrated by going to see Wicked at the Orpheum in Memphis. We LOVED it and had so much fun! Before the show, we stopped by Morgan and Virginia's condo on Beale to say hi and Mom, Dad, Ryan, and E suprised Meme by coming over to have a b-day dinner at TDB--Texas De Brazil--one of my favorites!!
So, June was busy, but of course so much fun!!! Enjoy the thousands of pics!! I can't help that I am a picture FREAK!!!??!!

Happy Birthday to our Daniel

Today would have been Daniel's 32nd birthday so we all got together and celebrated his life!! We went to his favorite restaurant, El Alcapulco, then headed to the Lake. None of us fished, as he would have, but we rode around on the boat and relaxed in the water telling Daniel stories and watching E enjoy her first time in a boat and in Bull Shoals. On the way home, we stopped by the cemetary to wish both Daniel and Grandma Greene a happy birthday (they were born on the same day, many years apart!). Then we did what Daniel would've loved the best--we came home and shot off bottle rockets!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY NANIEL!!!

ENSLEY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!

Oh what a wonderful FIRST birthday party we had for our baby girl!!!! Her B-day was on Friday, but it worked out better for everyone's schedule to do the BIG PARTY on Saturday the 27th. The theme was--what else??--PINK!! It was beautiful outside, but probably one of the hottest days we've had yet! I think it got up to 105! We couldn't even keep the house cooled down, but none of that mattered b/c we were all together and having fun!
We had all of our immediate family there---Pammie, Grandaddy, GJ, Pop, Aunt Meme and Uncle JonJon, Aunt Heather and Uncle Al, and cousin Quince and cousin Luke.
Dada cooked everyone HotDogs, Turkey Dogs, and Hamburgers, and we had mac n cheese, cole slaw, baked beans, goldfish, yummy dips for chips, shrimp, and of course cake!!
Ensley received a ton of fun gifts!! She LOVES the car Q and L gave her--we go get the mail in it EVERYday and she loves to toot the horn! The turtle blanket from E and JMac is a favorite already--so so soft and she loves to give the turtle hugs. PP and GDaddy had a china cabinet and table and chairs made for her --PRECIOUS and PINK of course with all of the Disney Princesses on them. GJ and Pop provided all the fun outside--the pools and the square mats, we have thoroughly enjoyed them! She loved all of her presents, the big ones, the little ones, the ones I didn't mention, and we thank everyone for treating our E like a Princess and for coming to her FIRST birthday party!!
Here are a few shots, I'll post more--or a video!--later!!! Thanks to all for the b-day wishes to our E. We are so blessed.
