Happy birthday! We are so blessed to have you in our lives! As I began to think about it, I realized you have been around more than half of my life! Tara and Brad got together when I was TEN! I am so thankful for you and I could not ask for a better sister! My brother had better be good to you on your birthday. Pete says happy birthday old lady... (that is pay back for the "little guy" comment) We love you!

Happy Birthday Tara
Wednesday, July 16, 2008
I am sorry I am a little late, but Pete's birthday has been busy! His Mom, Dad, sister (Lynn), niece(Alyssa) and nephew(Justin) came in over the weekend. His sister and her family live in Alaska and we rarely get to see them. We had a blast! Friday night we just hung out and spent time together then Saturday went and played tourist in Gatlinburg/Sevierville. We went to the aquarium, rode go carts, bumper boats and played mini-golf! Then we went to the Dixie Stampede. Sunday we went to Rockwood and visited the property... They seemed to like it. Afterwards we all went to my parents house and Mom cooked one of her wonderful meals... Thanks Mom! Thank you all for making Pete's birthday a lot of fun! It was very nice to spend time with you all!

Happy Late 4th!
Pete and I went to Williamsburg, VA for the 4th. We had a blast! Thursday and friday we just went around and learned about some history. We also went to a couple of original taverns. Pete made us reservations at a wonderful restaurant where we had a very nice dinner. Then friday evening we watched the fireworks from a large ship! It was very nice. We had never seen fireworks from the water and it was definitely worth while. It did rain on us the whole time though. There was a pretty large storm that came through, but we toughed it out. Then saturday and sunday we went to Busch Gardens! It was a lot of fun and we were not on any time schedule (which was the best part). I hope everyone else had a great 4th!

Progress!!!
Back at Mom and Dad's, while we are hard at work is Mr. Cadillac (Daddy calls him Barney). As you can tell he is not the most energetic thing in the world!
So as you can tell there was a lot of hard work to be done this last weekend! This is where the house was... Pete and I have worked diligently and finally can see some progress! We filled up 2 of those garbage dumps you see in the last picture and need to fill one more! Lots of work but one day we will have a gorgeous farm house in the middle of 17 beautiful acres... I have to remind myself of that, lol. I have became good friends with our new tractor. I have learned how to bush hog. Never thought I would see that day!

This weekend was very busy, but Mom came to rescue me for a little bit. She and I picked blackberries and enjoyed nature. We often times take the small things for granted, but we took a little bit to spend time in the woods! Mom was an avid girlscout and was raised on a farm so she is continually telling us the names of trees, bushes, and flowers! While she and I were out I learned a few things... What holly berries look like in person, what milk weed was and what it looked like (they are very pretty), and what a paw paw is. All of my life we have sung the little song... Picking up PAW PAW'S, puttin 'em in a basket. I had not a clue what I was singing about! Now I do! My favorite girlscout showed me one (upper right picture). So I am slowly learning this stuff!
Mom took all of the blackberries we picked and made a cobbler... It was EXCELLENT! Country girls at our best, ha ha. Thanks Mom! You are too good to us.
