Girls Weekend!

This past weekend we had the first annual girls weekend at the beach. It was the girls in my family, me, my mom, my sister Sara, my cousins and my aunt. We went to Seaside, Fl. and had a great time. I left Troy Friday morning and went to pick my mom up in Monroeville and then we headed to Seaside. We got there around 2 Friday afternoon and it was gorgeous! As soon as we got there I ate a bite of lunch the proceeded to the beach to soak up some of the sun. Saturday morning we went to a Pilates class. Whoa...i have never done Pilates before and it was hard. I worked muscles i don't think i have worked before..haha. It was a little overcast on Saturday but I still managed to soak up some sun. We had a blast, it was so wonderful getting to visit with my aunt and my cousins and also my mom and my sister. We are going to try to start making this an annual trip. I absolutely LOVE the beach, it is so relaxing! Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Peddlin' For A Cure

My wonderful aunt is doing a 90 mile bike ride in honor of my mom. It is for Relay For Life and to raise money for cancer research. The ride starts in Monroeville, Al. and ends somewhere in Mobile, Al. I think the ride is sometime in April. Cancer is a disease that I know affects a lot of people and without the money for the research we wouldn't have some of the treatments that are available today. There is a website for Peddlin For A Cure to donate money or even just your prayers for these riders would be much appreciated. Go to this site to see why my aunt is riding http://tiny.cc/Peddlinforacure . This is something that is very dear to my heart.

Warm Laundry

Usually I only do laundry on the weekends b/c during the week I don't feel like folding and hanging everything up. Well when I wash clothes and then take them out of the dryer I always throw the clothes on the bed and then fold and hang up. The funny thing is, is that when I throw the warm laundry on the bed Allie always knows and goes up her little doggie steps we have by our bed and jumps into the pile of warm laundry where she proceeds to lay down and get comfortable. I always think this is hilarious and I don't want to move her b/c i know the warmth coming from the clothes feels good to her and she looks so comfortable. Just thought i would share something about our child Allie. She is definitely a character and always keeps us laughing, she is very set in her ways...haha. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Here are some pictures of Allie laying in the warm laundry!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

I can't believe that it snowed in Troy, AL. today! The news had predicted snow but I didn't believe it. I actually woke up at 6:15 this morning b/c Allie had to go outside to use the bathroom and i saw it was snowing. I went and woke Rob up so he could see it b/c I figured it would be gone by the time we actually got up for the day. Around 12:30 it was snowing pretty good and actually sticking to the ground. Rob and I went outside and got a few pictures. I haven't seen snow in a long time so this was a treat! Allie wasn't sure what to think about the snow. I hope that everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed the snow as well!
