The GIANT catch up post...

Hi All,
I have been a bad little blogger and have decided to set aside some time today to catch you all up....In my previous post I had promised pics from Stinks birthday night dinner so I am going to start there and keep going till you are all caught up......


Next came my birthday and the whole group got together and decorated my office ....
My sister surprised me with this cute little girl that she made for my bday...

My adorable neice Bailey came up for a visit...

We went out for dinner at this restaurant whose slogan is ..."I shucked my nuts at Zellie's"...don't know what else to say about that but here's Stink and Big B representin'

Stink's big day for taking his driver's license test was fast approaching....I spent WAYYYY too many afternoons driving around...and around...and around..... with him practicing for his driving test....one day we were making our umpteenth trip down Overlook Drive and look what we saw....
Two baby red foxes out of their den.....sooo cute.....keep driving.......

Next on our list was a Football Fish Fry Fundraiser.....hot is not the word for that day....I thought I would die...but we raised about $8,000 bucks for the team....that's alot of oysters and fried fish.......

Let's see, what next.....hmmm......we decided to build a deck over looking the water behind our house....


Got so hot Stink took a dip with our Corgi....Simon
This brings us to the BIG DAY.....Stink was ready for the driving test....
And he did it!!! Of course I made him pose in front of the Driver License place for a pic...they even gave hime a lollipop, note the stick in his mouth....

Big B's Mom, Stinks' Nana, is awesome and was gracious enough to give Stink his first truck. The truck had been Daddy J's and when he got a new SUV, Nana and Daddy J were so sweet and offered the truck to Stink.....he is one lucky boy....we are such lucky people, we have an amazing family...
Well, about an hour after passing the driving test, here's what I saw.....


Note the dirt flying from his back tire.....he was gone...like the wind.....

And we have barely seen him since..................
