Family

Here are some photos of my family....
My son Dylan and my wonderul hubby Josh at Walt Disney world. We try to go every 2 years as this is Dylans favorite place to go..Disney goes above and beyond for handicap children..it is such a wonderful time for us when we get to go.

My oldest son Keenan..we ahve been getting a pic of him in this same spot since he was 4 years old..oh how time flies.

My beautiful niece Madison..She is such a ham , always posing for the camera.

My nephew Caleb..the next big football star..check out his eyes , he has one blue and one brown..cool huh.

My niece Kelsey ( the red head )..here is the promo pic from her show in Pigeon Forge..she has an amazing voice.

Nadia Grace..isn't she just so beautiful

Our newest family members twins Isaiah & Memphis.

Dylan , Caleb & Madison at the Miracle Theater with one of the angels from the show...we go often..it's one of the best in town..several of the cast members attend our church.

Bedroom


Okay here is another Kelly's Korner-show us your home post..The Bedroom...

Here is the view as you walk into our room..We are still in the process of  decorating as this was our last room to takle..The cutins are from Wal-mart..The bedding from TJ-MAXX bought on sale for only $69.00 for the entire set ( I love a bargin ). The Bed was a gift from a friend as well as the chest.
Here is an onward view of the bed..the wall tiles above the bed are my latest find..they are mirror tiles..I found these at Family dollar on sale for $3.00 a set ( 4 per set ) .They were silver but I sponge painted them to match the room..total spent $11.00.
A close up view of my side table..I am loving this book, it is a great read.My table is a simple little round table $8.99 at K-Mart with a table cloth and glass topping..most of the decor came from TJ-MAXX.

The T.V...this chest was also a gift...our next project is painting the walls and putting up a chair rail.

My hubby's side is very simple..a wicker box for storage and a simple basket holding his books and what-nots.

Top 2 Tuesday

I stumbled upon this blog today and decided to participate in The top 2 Tuesday..
Top 2 Favorite Songs...
 
1.) If I can only Imagine by Mercy Me..I love this song so much , anytime I am having a bad day all I have to do is listen to it and I am instantly in a better mood.

2.)I'll be by Edwin McCain..this has been one of my favorites since high school...I can listen to it all day long and never get tired of it.

Living room tour

Okay I'm in on Kelly's Korner living room tour..so here it is tell me what you think...




Did I mention we were from Tennessee...

So If you have ever been to my area before you know the folks here are hard core UT fans...including my dear husband...little did I know he was about to turn our guest bathroom into UT central..did I forget to mention , I am not a football fan..


Wow , my first blog...so were do I begin....A little about myself I guess..I have been married now for going on 17 years..we have two boys Keenan 16 & Dylan 14.We are a proud military family with my husband now going on his 11th year of service..8 years with the Marine Corps and almost 3 with the Air Force. Our oldest son is your typical teenage boy , sleeps till noon and plays way top many video games...Our youngest Dylan has Autism, he loves dragons , Going to Disney World and taking road trips. When he was first diagnosed at the age of 2 were thought , what have we done for our son to be like this...but now I cannot imagine him any other way and would not change him even if I could.He has been such a blessing to our family and God knew exactly what he was doing when he gave him to us . We love to travel and take several trips a year . I love my family ( for the most part anyway..lol ) and having get togethers at our home.
We live in tourist town Tennessee aka the Great Smokey Mountains..I love the Fall weather here with all the colors..the winters not so much. Well I guess that will do it for now..till next time...
