Lefty in Action 

Friday Night Lights

From July to early November- Football consumes our lives. We are either at practice, traveling to games, tailgating before a game, attending games or YES you guessed it- watching games on TV !!  I'm so glad that I am married with a house full of boy's to watch these games with me. It will be a sad day in our life when the boy's are no longer playing Football. Hopefully there will be grandkids to go watch...

Smarty Pants

Tyler was asked to take part in the Duke University TIP Program that allows students in the 7th grade to take the ACT. We knew going into this that being in the 7th grade he had not covered a lot of the material. They only asked that he do his best... We got his results back and he scored an 18 WOW !!!!! Mike and I have a brain child... If he didn't look so much like Nic and Matt I would swear that he was switched at birth.
I stressed over all of this more than Tyler did. On the morning of the test, I was worried about being on time- what should he eat- how will he find where he was supposed to be- OMG he is going to be around a bunch of High School kids- will they give him bread and water during the break... of course it all worked out.
When I picked him up I was an emotional wreck. All I wanted to tell him was how proud I was of him and no matter what I knew he did his best. I couldn't even talk I was crying so bad. I think that it was such a stress relief that it was over. All he wanted to do was come home and play the X-box.
Next time he's on his own...

Titans vs Colts Game - Dec 2010

We had such a great time at the Titans vs Colts game. Since the Titan's have not had such a great season, the number of fans have declined !!! However- since Peyton Manning and the Colts came to play, the stadium was packed. People have loved Peyton since his playing days at UT. I really think that every time Peyton came down field he was searching me out of the crowd- I also know that he heard me calling his name!!! Thanks Mike and Dave and Annita for allowing me to have my dream night.

25 Years Later

O how I love this man... 25 years ago January 25th 1986 I married the love of my life. We had dated for 2 years and were ready to take on the world. At the time I had dark hair and Mike had hair. A lot has changed... all for the better. I tried to add up all of the experiences that we have had over the years and just got lost in the moment. How do you add up 25 years of laughter, tears, happiness and sadness???
25 years ago we started out two broke kids... we have owned 6 Houses,lived in 2 different States, owned a Scrapbook store in Memphis, are owners of 9 Shoney's, have been blessed with 3 great boys and lost 2 babies, buried both of my Parents and have worried over the health of Mike's Parents. In between all of this we have had the most fun just being together. Thank you to all of our friends and family who have supported us in our ups and downs of a crazy life.
I love you Mike and look forward to an eternity together.

WAR EAGLES !!!!!

Being a Mother of 3 boy's- all we watch on TV is Sports. Any and every kind of Sports. When we lived in Georgia, we were only about 45 minutes away from Auburn Alabama. SEC games are the best. There is nothing better than a Georgia-Alabama or Auburn game. The excitement in the air when they play each other is the best. Thank you SEC- and the 2011 National Champions-AUBURN- for making me a happy Mom to be able to sit down and watch a game with her 3 favorite Hissong Men. Nic - we missed you tonight.
