We'll miss you Uncle Mike!

Hayden's Godfather (and uncle by a VERY long friendship!), Uncle Mike is moving to Dallas this week for his new job and we are all going to miss him so much!! We know it won't be for ever, but we'll sure miss those dinners during the middle where I could catch Davin, Mike and Hayden all watching Cage Fighting even though I have forbidden that to be watched around Hayden (Hayden is a "wee bit" strong so when he watches wrestling, naturally he sees it as a game and then goes to school and tries it out on his buddies who all go down pretty fast since our kid has super-human strength)! Mike is Davin's best friend, my surrogate big brother, and Hayden just ADORES him--so he will definitely be missed dearly at our house. We are so excited for Mike to start this new chapter of his life with a new career move, new friends in Dallas, and a new place to live and wish him nothing but lots of happiness. I know he'll be back for LOTS of fishing and hunting trips with the guys so I bet we don't go for long periods of time without seeing him! :) Good luck Mike and we can't wait to hear all about how you like Dallas and your new job!














We love you Mike!

Happy Birthdays Kinkaids!

We want to wish a Happy Birthday to Aunt Ashley (she turned the big 2-5 yesterday, the 14th) and a Happy 29th Birthday to Uncle John (his Birthday is tomorrow, the 16th)! We love you both very much and hope you have a FABULOUS Birthday Weekend!

Fish, Deer, and a Cheeseball!

A Fishing Trip and Some Tonsillitis, Please!

Hello! Well we have had a busy weekend!! Davin took Mike, John, and Pat on a deep sea fishing trip off of Port Aransas this past weekend, and BOY did they have a BLAST! I'm so glad the weather was nice for them and they caught a TON of fish: some amberjack, some dolphin fish, and Davin caught a HUGE SAILFISH!!!! Of course a sailfish and a marlin are the two fish that I have been DYING to catch everytime we go, so I suppose it's fitting that he caught it while fishing with the boys! Ha! I will try to get the pictures from him to download for you guys later tonight!

While Davin was fishing, I was at home all weekend with Tonsillitis! Yes, I am an adult who still has her tonsils...there are still a few of us who still have them: Denisha, Ashley, me to name a few. I started feeling weird last Tuesday and when I went to the doctor at my work on Wednesday it had turned into full-blown tonsillitis. I made it through the day at work on Wednesday and even somehow on Thursday, but Friday I was OUT! Davin took Hayden to daycare so I could rest, but those of you who know me, know that I spent the entire day cleaning the house and doing laundry. All in all Hayden and I had a pretty fun Mommy and Me weekend....as best we could while playing inside the house only.

Two VERY happy occasions ocurred last week: 1.) The birth of Grace Matlock (my cousin Michael and Jennifer's second daughter), and 2.) My brother's 21st birthday! I would have blogged about this last week had I not been so hopped up on Benadryl and pain killers. I have a few pictures of little Grace that I will try to post for your tonight as well. My brother is 21 now! Holy COW!!! That makes me feel old!

This week should be just as busy and exciting as last week since THREE of our friends have birthdays this week!!! Casey's was yesterday (Happy 30th!!!), Ashley's is Thursday (you will be a quarter of a century old!), and John's is Saturday (29...oooo one more year and you join the 30 club with Davin and Casey!).

Also, my brother will be having surgery on his foot this Thursday so everyone please say a little prayer for him.

That's all for now!
Love you!

Happy Monday! I finally got some pictures downloaded as promised! These are some pictures from the FABULOUS Kinkaid wedding that took place on July 19, 2008! We all had a great time and everything was just BEAUTIFUL! Honey and Poppy got to come down for the wedding too and they very graciously took care of Hayden while Mommy and Daddy were on "bridesmaid and groomsman duty" all weekend, and very happily so! Hayden loves spending time with them and they REALLY helped us out a TON! John and Ashley made the most breath-taking Bride and Groom I have ever seen and I can't wait for them to have children because I know those will be some gorgeous kiddos! Congrats to them, we love you two very much and can't wait to hear all about your Honeymoon to Cabo and see all the pictures! Enjoy the pics everyone!
Love you!

Busy Couple of Weeks!

Hi everyone! We have had a lot going on lately! The 4th of July weekend Davin and all the guys went to John's Bachelor Party in South Padre for the weekend and I went with the girls for Ashley's Bachelorette Party in Lake Charles, LA. We all had a blast and I will try to post some pics as soon as I can. This coming Saturday (the 19th)John and Ashley will have their BEAUTIFUL wedding and I personally can't wait! They are such a great couple and two of our very best friends! We wish them nothing but a lifetime of happiness together! Hayden is their ring-bearer by the way, so you KNOW I will have TONS of cute pictures of that! Heaven only knows what he will say or do this Saturday! Also, on a bittersweet note our friend Natalie moved to Chicago last week to take a job as a Physical Therpist and we know she will do great things....we just miss her! That's all for now; I'll try to get some new pics up tonight!
Love you all,

Italy Photo Book

As promised, here are SOME of the pictures from Italy (I had to pick and choose for you since there are almost 600 of them! It begins with pictures of us after we MISSED OUR FLIGHT in Cincinnati and got stuck there for a night (this stuff ONLY happens to us!), then there are the pictures in Rome, the Tuscan countryside and finally Florence. Davin was also able to take a couple pictures of the Swiss Alps as we flew over them and even one picture of a countryside in Paris--we were only there long enough to switch flights...which was just fine with us! :) I hope you enjoy them! Click on the link below and you should be able to view them; if it prompts you to sign up for a user name and pass word, just do that (I just used my email as my user name and that same password) and you should be able to see them.
