Eleven Years Ago..

This sweet baby girl was born.  Her arrival was such a blessing to me and Hudson, nothing has been the same since and we wouldn't change a thing. Life was no longer solely about us as a couple, but about the precious miracle God blessed us with.  

She was such a pretty baby. :)

We were in love with that little bundle.

We weren't the only first-timers, Nana and Papoo with their first grandbaby, they now have 9...which will be 10 this fall!

Ganmamma with granddaughter #3!

We are so proud of you Olivia!  God has blessed us with a smart, loving, compassionate and beautiful daughter.  Keep trusting in Him and seeking His will!  We love you!

Aruba

Hudson and I escaped to Aruba last week, while my mom kept the kids, we had to deal with this view for five days. Tough. I know.

Our first night in Aruba, we enjoyed this view while enjoying dinner on the beach.

 

 Hudson enjoyed Tuna.

 And I had some yummy Chilean Sea Bass.

 At lunch one day, we had a visitor...actually a lot of them!

 Heading to dinner our last night.

 Our last view of Aruba, from the plane awaiting takeoff.

I had to include this...sweet, sweet brother.

2011 BCS National Champions Auburn Tigers!

I was a bit presumptuous. Following Auburn's win over LSU in October, we ordered tickets to the Tostito's BCS National Championship.  After watching Cam Newton's Heisman clinching performance, I knew he, nor the rest of the Auburn Tiger's football team would be beaten.  I'm thankful we were able to witness, in person, five games played by this championship team.

Of course, the biggest game we witnessed was the BIG ONE!

The venue, the University of Phoenix Stadium

Under Armour hosted a pregame party for Tiger fans. Fun Stuff!

Our players during their warmups and stretches, if you look closely you can see Coach Chizik having a discussion with the Defensive leader, Josh Bynes.

The AU Marching Band-pregame. TIGERS!

THE CELEBRATION!

This was taken about midnight MT after a looong and exciting day!
