New hunting partner?

I may have found my new duck hunting partner! No offense Justin and Jim, but she's a lot better looking than you two are.

Come see my room Baby Taylor...

The last few seconds Maddie says, "There's so much stuff on my bed. cause this a big girl bed!"

Annie, Grandpa, and Tiger Woods

My mom and dad bought Maddie a "Little People" schoolbus today. When I came home from work, I asked her who was in the schoolbus and she said, "Annie, PaPa (Grandpa), and Tiga Woods."

Two words for you...

AWE SOME!!!

Summer!

We have had a very busy summer so far and here are a few highlights:

We went to Hilton Head the first week of June with Jimmy, Barbara, Wally, Emily, James, and Mary Elizabeth (my parents were on a cruise around the world and couldn't join us this year--they were literally riding camels and looking at pyramids!)

This is not a postcard, but if you ever go to Hilton Head and need a postcard we can give you copies of this picture.

Kelly and Maddie on the "Dolphin Cruise"Pet the cow, MaddieMaddie and I on our way to the Harbour Town poolWe stopped in Charleston, SC on our way back to visit David and Meghan Myrick and their daughter Olivia. Who would have thought that David and I would ever have daughters!After Hilton Head, Jimmy and Barbara got married in Greenville!!Then I took high school kids from Greensboro to Jasper, GA to a Younglife camp for a week. If you don't know where Jasper is, its near Dawsonville which is home to Bill Elliot-you know, awesome Bill from Dawsonville. On Monday we gave Maddie her "big girl" bed! She loved it until we left the room and then she started crying, but has slept in it great for the last three days. Maddie is going to be one great big sister.

More SNOW!!

Maddie was excited to see all the snow! Maddie in her "sled"...

My buddy

My dog, Dakota, died last week while Kelly and I were in Memphis for the ECU bowl game. He was a special dog. I'll never forget when I brought him home to my folks' house for the first time...My dad bought me and my brother a house about a week later. I miss him a lot.
