All my bunny friends came out to play.......

Better late than never is what I always say! I know a little late for sharing my Easter Tablescape. I have had my table decorated for over a month, but getting the photos uploaded onto computer and then posted is another story! I will keep it short like a fluffy bunny tail!

Centerpiece is nestled on top of a pewter cake plate placed in the center of a floral wreath. The dried hydrangea have been in several TT. I used two different tablecloths....one floral and then burlap.

The light got a little Easter bling bling!

Ol' faithful paper plates from Hobby Lobby, Gibson cup and saucer. The green transferware was purchased at an antique store. Glass tumbler is from Target.

This is what I like to do on a Sunday afternoon....take a peaceful nap!

Petter invited a few of his friends over for a little gathering! The more the merrier!

Happy Easter to all! Hope everyone enjoyed their time with their family and friends! Thanks for stopping by!

Science Fair Poster

Rylee's school had their first Science Fair since the late 90's. It was a mandatory event for all grades K-5. We started with a blank outline of the state of Alabama because the theme was Outdoor Alabama. We decided on "Birds of Alabama". Then my "teacher-mode" took over. It was very hard for me not to do the ENTIRE poster! :) I outlined the state with tiny twigs then we glued bird seed inside. We got a poster from the store Wild Birds Unlimited. They gave us a poster and some other materials. The poster was very useful. Hot glued some native bird pictures onto the poster. Told Rylee what to write and .......Drum ROLL......finished product!

He did not win....don't know why.....BUT I thought it turned out very well, and we were very creative. Great minds think a like!

Celebrating Gran's B-day

Febrauary 25 was my moma's birthday. She would kill me if I posted her age. I had to work that day, so I had to cook something simple. I cooked beef stew, Mexican cornbread, and baked a "frozen" apple pie. I gave her a Pandora charm for her bracelet and something else that has not arrived yet. Happy Birthday!

Who says you need a cake for candles? A pie works just fine, BUT let it cool before inseting candles....they will melt! hehe

Girl's Night

Watch out.....the girls are out and running loose...... April, Debbie, Me, and Charlotte! We had our annual "Girl's Night". Notice the word annual.....need to make it more often!!! We had supper at Logan's. Had to wait forever for our meal which in means.....FREE FOOD! Yeap, we did not have to pay for supper which meant more $$$$$ for shopping! :) After supper, we had about an hour to kill before the late show at the movies. We headed to Berk's Outlet for a little looking and a little spending! Mostly talking! We always pick up right when we left off. Been friends since grade school! We have the best time when we are together! We saw the movie "The Roommate". Creepy....makes you NOT want to send your child off to college! Trust me!

Charlotte (aka Char) and Me

April and Debbie

Mother-to-be is NOW a mother!

Back in January, we hosted a baby shower for our cousin Kathryn. Well, today she welcomed her precious baby boy, Langdon Thomas into our loving family. He is a whopping 10.4 and 21 inches. She had to have a c-section due to his size. Everyone is doing fine. Unfortunately, I did not get to join the birthday party because I am home sick. Usually, when a baby is welcomed into our family......the whole family is there......cousins and all! I wish the three of you a lifetime full of love, joy, and happiness. I know you will be perfect parents, and you will raise him in a God-loving family! Bless wishes to all of you! Love to all! ( Posing for picture: Diane (Kathryn's mother-in-law), Kathryn, and Haley)

Here are some of the family members that hosted Kathryn's shower at Bethany's house (my sis-in-law). Lucy (aunt), Laurie (cousin), Bethany (cousin), Kathryn, Haley (Kathryn's sis-in law and our cousin), Tina (cousin), and Me (cousin). Kathryn married my husband's 1st cousin. Whether you are an in-law or not, you are considered family! :)

Peabody Hotel Memphis

Back in December 2010, we visited the Peabody Hotel in Memphis. What trip to Memphis is complete without witnessing the world famous Peabody Ducks and Hotel. Not only is the hotel famous for the ducks, BUT for the Lansky Brother's Clothier to the King. Elvis Presley that is......Any Elvis fan HAS to walk thru this store. Probably will not purchase anything, BUT you hafta walk thru!!!!

Making a mad dash to the fountain. The duck walk takes place at 11:00 am daily. They stay in the fountain enjoying their swimming time until 5:00. (I think).

Well-pampered feathered friends......

The beautiful flower arrangement atop of the duck's private swimming pool.

The elaborate ceiling of the main lobby.

Can you say....a heck of alot of trim!!!!!

The duck's own Peabody Hotel on top of the hotel.

Their "other" swimming pool.

The traveling Elvis Fans......Me, Moma, and Granny.

The helicopter pad

View from the roof of the Peabody

Another view from the roof. You can see the Arkansas Bridge.

We enjoyed our trip to Memphis. I know it will NOT be my last. Gotta take my boys there one of these days. Gotta make Elvis fans out of them! :) Thanks for stopping by.

Our visit to Graceland

The week after Christmas, my moma, Taulbe's granny, and I made a journey to Memphis, TN to visit the home of The King, Elvis Presley. This was my fourth visit to Graceland, and I am sure it will NOT be my last. I have never been while it was decorated for Christmas, so it was a real treat for us to see all the blue christmas lights. It rained the entire time while we were out and about at Graceland, but rain cannot or will not stop an Elvis fan!!!! The year 2010 marked the 75th birthday of Elvis. Glad we were able to be a part of the grand celebration.

The grand home of the King, Elvis Aaron Presley.......

Once you step inside, you are taken back into another time and place. Elvis is speaking and singing while you are on a self-guided tour. Talk about tears and goosebumps!!!! You are walking where he once place his footprints.

Life-sized manager scene.

The mansion is lined with blue christmas lights. This photo was taken across the street and it was raining.

The tree in the living room. Notice the peacock stained glass and the baby-gran piano.

The dining decked out for a Christmas feast.

The staircase leading up to Elvis' bedroom which is NOT part of the tour.

The TCB room.......

The morning of Elvis's death, he and some of his band members were sitting around playing music and singing (something he loved to do especially gospel music). The last three songs they sang together were Unchained Melody, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, and one more. (I can't remember the other one!)

The last room of the tour......some of his many achievements, awards, and some jumpsuits.

His final resting place....a place a peace....a place where fans can take a moment to say good-bye.

Me, my moma, and Granny posing near the stables.

Of course, we stayed at the Heartbreak Hotel.

Yes, this is a PINK LIMO. This baby was our ride to a local BBQ restaurant. YUMMY

I LOVE this chair. Posing in the lobby of the Heartbreak Hotel. No broken hearts for us!

Granny posing. Elvis fans come in all ages!

Moma receiving a smooch from the King. Oooh laa laa!!!

Check out the Retro TV that plays only Elvis movies. Can't get better than this!

We had a blast. Got some Peabody photos to share later on! Thank you! Thank you very much! TCB!!!
