My Famous Salad

If you don't know already I love salads. I have a little bit of my aunt in me so I take the time to cut up all the vegetables and place them just right on the plate so all the color is evenly dispersed. I also love to saute the chicken in olive oil with a little garlic salt. I have to say that salad looks pretty darn good. I think I'm gonna go make lunch!!

Scrapbook Store Again

So going to the scrapbook store once this week wasn't enough we had to go again today. Timeless Reflections was having what they call a yard sale but it wasn't the kind of yard sale you are thinking of. It was in the store in a room where everything was marked down a lot. The owner also had some customers bring their stuff in to sell in this "Yard Sale". It was cool, there was tons to choose from. So we had been there long enough so the three of us, Mom, Ang, and Me, kind of got really loud and loopy. We started just snapping pictures of each other taking pictures. Don't worry there aren't any pictures of scrapbooking just of three insane women.

This is the basket of all the stuff my mom found. (Ok I found for her!)

Make & Take

One of the first things we did when we got here was find a scrapbook store, obviously. We found a store called Timeless Reflections and the lady that owns the store is so much fun. She just talks and laughs. Her husband actually wrote the songs "My Best Friend" and "Let's Make Love" both sang by Tim McGraw and one with Faith Hill. He also wrote a song for Kenny Chesney and some other artist who's name I forgot.

We went into the store today to do what it called a make-n-take. It was a little book for the fourth of July and of course I haven't finished it yet. I need pictures!! I can't do all that last minute embellishment if I don't have the pictures. It was a lot of fun and it gave us just enough time to get out of the house. There was actually a thunderstorm this morning. So loud I actually woke up and then some sunshine and then a little more rain in the evening.

This is the book we made.

Mom and Ang shoppin' to the scrapin'. Haha ok I know I'm an idiot.

This is the book in the process of making it.

Of course daddy had to come back so he could pay. That is a privilege daddy!!

I had to tickle him to get him to smile.

Movie Night

Travis won four movie passes by calling into this radio show so we decided to use a couple of them and go see The Incredible Hulk. We invited Jessie who intuen invited a guy named Eric that Jessie and I met while swimming at her pool. He is a very nice guy who is here for only three months on an internship for mastering in music. We all went to a movie theatre down the street but it is so small, it only has twelve screens and only plays certian movies. That is the only one we know about so we went to that one. The movie was really cool, it was a sequel to the first Hulk but I won't ruin the story.

This is the little rinky dink movie theatre with only 12 screens.

We always have a lot of fun together can't ya tell.

Im Turnin' Country!

So on our "Night Out On the Town" we went into a store that sold cowboy boots. I have been wanting red cowboy boots for a long time and I finally found them. They are so cute!!! So I wanted to share them with all of you to see what you thought of them. This store had so many cowboy boots, I mean they had boots even in lavender. Now that is a stretch!

A Night Out on the Town

So one night Travis and I were wanting something to do so we went downtown to see some bands and just have a little fun. We went downtown on a Friday night so all the drinkin' up late dancin' on the bar people were out. We wanted to go to a place called Legends downtown where they have a band playing all most every night but when we got there it was way after six so I couldn't get in because I wasn't 21 yet. That kind of sucked!!! We walked the streets of downtown and came to Ernest Tubb Record Shop. It was really cool because they had all these kind of photos of singers years ago. They also had a steel guitar that he use to play and a lot of his outfits displayed. They had sequins up the butt on them. After that we walked to an old fashioned ice cream store and got peanut butter fudge ice cream in a home made waffle cone. It was so good but it was so sweet that I couldn't finish it. While walking to the ice cream shop we stopped to listen to a man playing a guitar, singing, and playing the tambourine with his foot sitting in front of a Fedex store. But his look wasn't at all like what his voice sounded like. He was this overweight really sweaty bald guy. It was a fun night out on the town.

4th of July Fun!!!

On the 4th of July we went to my grandparents house in Clarskville but of course we had to stop at Starbucks before the hour long drive and yes I got a lemon cookie. We we got into Clarksville we stopped at a store that sold just fireworks. An entire store dedicated to selling just fire works and all year long. Most of the fire works in this store would have been illegal in California. (This big Box of fireworks was $1200.00. Wow!!!)

(When I first saw this firework I thought it was one big huge firework but it was four fireworks wrapped up into one. It was just a in a cute package.)


(Now these are Roman Candle Fireworks. Yes they a illegal in California but not in Tennessee.)

(This is the sign to fireworks store. You can see that they are open all year long.)


When we finally got to Grammy and Papa's house as soon as we walked in the door the food was ready and on the table. She made bar-b-q sandwhiches and baked beans. So good!!!! So then we had to pretty much waste 4 hours until it got dark enough so we could do fireworks. The guys did there guy thing in the garage while us women sat on the couch and drank coffee and talked and talked ....and talked some more.


It finally got dark enough, Alex couldn'twait any longer, so we went outside to start the fun. I could probably type all the fun but I'm sure it be would way more fun it you could watch it yourself.

(Auntie Re Re got Alex the flags!)

(One of our boxes of various fireworks)



Mike lit this firework not knowing what it would do and we had no idea that it shot little fireworks in the air.

Micheal wanted this little firecracker to blow up in the air so he had to light the fuse and then hold it so the fuse would go down and then throw it up in the air. But he kept letting it go because it was going down to his fingertips and he got a little scared.


Travis and I bought these fireworks that shoot up into the air but we hadn't ever seen then done so we weren't expecting them to go so high or to make a loud boom! So we were all kind of shocked and it definitly shows.

Daddy with his lighting stick because Papa didn't have a lighter that actually worked.

Aww, the engaged couple, aren't they so cute!!

Alex with his sparklers!!!

Mike with his kind of sparkers!!!

Another firecracker that shoots up in the air.


Mike said it right, "Thats a California firework." So sorry for y'all.

This one of the fireworks that shot up in the air. I thought it looked so pretty.

This is Mike with sparklers dancing like a little fairy. And the woman he is trying to scare is his wife, which you can hear he did.

All in all, it was an awesome 4th of July. This was the first 4th of July I spent with my grandparents and it was also the first 4th of July I spent without the gumps, mema, grandma, and Travis's family. It wasn't the same at all without you guys and I miss you all so so so so much. I love you guys
