This didn't happen to me growing up ... 70's in January.
I then was at the Maxey home during bath time this week too to see Katherine in her cute tub.
She gets the water poured right over her head and doesn't seem to mind a bit. She also kind of likes that other baby that appears at bathtime every night!
Devin bought a Mandolin over break and hopes to be the next top Mandolinist!
Once again that familiar position on the bed with the computer / although it was more a family affair this time.
Charlie's just a bit bored.
Isn't it interesting that Chinese hat Devin's wearing??
Our beautiful cabin on top the hill in the Smokies.
And this is why it's called the Smokies. Since we had this gorgeous view we got to see all the weather changes. It was really cool to see.
The family.
Bob cooking Kielbossa for dinner.
Paige and Devin journaling. Although I don't know how they were able to concentrate since we were probably big distractions. Bet those pages are funny that you wrote those nights!
I could be trying out for a new commercial, but I'm not - I just like to see how many ways my face will contort!
Oh yea ... there was snoring too!
We really had fun playing games together although you can't tell by these happy faces!
Okay, here was the cute thing. Presley had been put down for a nap. We thought she was sleeping. But what she was doing was emptying my Mother's wallet all over the bed. Money, credit cards, receipts everywhere!
After she realized we thought it was funny she was free to laugh too!
Then of course we had to pose in the middle of the mess.
Handsome guy - adorable dog ... what a pair!
The making of the famous "Pizelles"
Our Tree ... Bob decorated ... all by himself... cause no one can do it as good as him!
The only icicles you'll ever see in Alabama are the ones hanging from the garland on our mirror!
Our Holiday table with a fresh fruit centerpiece with added...pearls?? It's a Bob thing.
After the Christmas Eve service at FWC with Ray.
Buddies
My sweet, sweet, friend Jan Simpson.
Just the guys hanging out.
Devin spent allot of time in this position over the holidays.
Our family meets in Pigeon Forge for our holiday get together. But before we go to our cabin - we always meet at Walmart! Do you see those two posing in the background??
It's always so fun to see the kids and how much they've grown. This year was a huge difference with Presley and Preston.
Preston is such a happy guy now since his surgeries. And he is taking off and making up for lost time.
This really looks like a sunglass add.
My baby brother, whom I adore!
Presley went up and down these steps dozens of times each day. Preston crawled up the steps a few times too. My Mother is so proud of her grandchildren! Dana is such a good Mom (did I get points for that Dana??)
Gail Renee and Presley Renee
Grandmother and Grandson.
This is where Ryan spent 90% of his time while we were at the cabin. He is a very good pool player and showed me many smoothe moves! Also, he's hard to beat!
Paige and Devin on the street in Gatlinburg. Her first visit to the Smokies.
You can see the front door and that the house is very open. It's going to be a great entertaining house. And the kitchen is great! It has granite counter tops and 33 cupboards and 11 drawers!+of+DSCF2972.JPG)
A view from the living area into the breakfast area and then there's a casual living space past that which will be our piano room.
There's a formal dining area immediately to the right of the front door (not pictured) and of course you can see the open staircase. Love that!
This is Valentines Day. I am holding Katherine Maxey (K-Max). She is Lori's daughter who works with us ... so we get to see this little darling every day!
Bob and I officiated at a wedding last Friday night. First time we had been dressed so formaly in a LONG TIME!
Aw ... this was funny. Ellie wanted me to put make up on her. So, I put her hair up and put blush on her cheeks, some eye shadow and mascara and a little lip color and of course, Jack insisted he get some too. So, I just let the pro go at it!
You can see here, she has a little brush and she is rubbing it on the bottom side of the eye shadow... getting nothing ... but she doesn't realize it, I don't think. Jack is of course holding his two little cars. They are now extensions of his body and almost never puts them down.
Ellie thought Jack's ears needed some improvement! Too cute!! These two reminded me of Amber and Derrick when they were little. I put make up on Amber and Derrick insisted he have some too. So we made him a clown face and he was happy!
And this ... her signature look ... PRINCESS!
It was in the 70's the other day - January 6th - so Lori and I ate lunch outside at Chick-Fil-A. 
I then was at the Maxey home during bath time this week too to see Katherine in her cute tub.
