What can i say................





No lie, my dad found her like this! I mean what can i say! She will kill me one day for putting this online!


Homemade whip cream


Sitting with uncle Neal

Yum!



All Causey and Tweetie talk about is what they are going to cook, mom made her homemade whip cream to put on the pie they made. She thought is was some "good stuff!"

Fun on the 4th, and a mess too!

Well................so we were going to make homemade peach ice cream. After peeling 3lbs (!!) of peaches and mixing them in the blender, David "un-hooked" the bottom of the blender! It went everywhere! Poor Causey! We then had to cut up a flat of strawberries and start over!! Those of you that know David, know he did not handle this mess well, but i was so proud, he didnt say a bad word! I just laughed, because if i had done that, WOW!
Fourth of July family walk

Fireworks



We viewed the Memphis Country Club fireworks, redneck style, by standing outside the gates by the golf course! She loved it, i of course wanted her to go to bed on time, but David let her stay up and go see them. He was right, she was great and really loved them!

So close, yet still so far away

David, Dr. Flemming (his new boss) and Chip Oester (the fellow that is now in Nashville)


For those of you that don't know, David finished his residency last Friday night!! Yeah David. Then 3 hours later began his fellowship! We had a nice dinner in between the two events, but he didn't get the weekend break he thought he would get! Poor thing.


He started his fellowship at 11:30 pm June 25th!


This means he is the only Ophthalmic Plastics and Reconstructive fellow at UT, which sounds fun until you discover he will be on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the next 365! Then we get 2 days to move to Nashville and it starts all over 24/7!! That's right, little David can't leave! No hunting, no football games, no weddings, no going to Jackson, NOTHING! So if you want to see David, come on to Memphis, he will be here!!
I was just so proud of David and so nervous for this huge next chapter to begin! I know he will do great but he has huge new responsibilities resting on him now! Plus who wants to be stuck in one place for a whole year! Maybe we will get crazy and go to Southaven for dinner one night!
Yes, i cried a bit...........It was sad to see all our friends leaving, it doesn't seem possible for it to have been 4 years! The residency director called him "their shining star in his field" I couldn't help but be so proud of all he has done!
Good luck David, I love you and are so thankful you are willing to work so hard to do what you love!

Doctors and stuff


Am i the only one who has taken their child to the doctor and as soon as they get there they perk up............"what I'm not sick"??


Waiting for the Allergist. No allergies, just left over effects from croup she had last May. Who knew croup could affect you for up to 3 years!!





Fun with chocolate...and some strawberries

My mom decided to make "chocolate covered strawberries" with Causey. Well Causey figured out a way to get more chocolate than strawberries!! Please excuse the hair, she wakes up with really bad hair after her nap..........................
How did we clean her up, you might ask..........straight to the pool of course!!
