California trip for Grandpa Milt's Funeral....

Last week I was in California for a week, my Grandfather Milt Willmore past away. The ceremony was very special, lots of great stories of his many adventures and all of our family from both far and near came to show how much he is loved, it was beautiful! He was a great man that everyone looked up to and loved deeply. He will be missed greatly, but he is in heaven now where he belongs.

I am just going to warn you now......I posted a ton of pictures from our week together.

Our Vegas Trip....

Jason and I just recently got back from a week spent in Las Vegas for our Vacation. We had a great relaxing time together!!


This was at the Wynn hotel(the newest one) after we went to a show called Le Reve...it was one of my favorites!!


This was our first night out went to an amazing dinner at "Cut", it's a wolf gang puck restaurant. And after went to see Phantom of the Opera....loved it!!!!

We stayed at the Venetian and this was in the hotel mall area...beautiful..huh!!!



This was our amazing room, we loved it!! It was so big.......the best room ever!!! Would totally refer someone to the Venetian!

This was the entry to the Venetian...very extravagant!!!! Vegas just seems to get better every time I go!!


This was at the Wynn hotel.....
.....at the Wynn too!!! That hotel has such beautiful decor, we had so much fun just walking around all the different hotels and seeing all the different designs.

This was our last night and we decided to go see the Blue Man group, it was really fun and young!!! Overall we had a great trip to Vegas, massages, shows, great food and great company!!! We just enjoyed each other the most!!!!

My Jason's Birthday and Thanksgiving

On November 19th was my husband's big birthday.....Happy Birthday, Baby!! It turned out he had his birthday off from work and an extra day, so I planned a nice dinner out and a movie for just us. But I also planned a little gather with some close friends for the previous day, turned out he got pretty sick....for both days!!! But he wasn't to sick to play with his new Birthday present, "The Playstaion 3" (as you can see in his pictures)!!!



The Playstion 3!! We still had a good time regardless of the sickness!


This was Thanksgiving with some friends of ours, The Brantley's!! They were nice enough to invite us into their home to share a special holiday with them, they are awesome!!! The Brantley's consist of Bill, Rhonda, Michelle and Katie. And this was our wonderful Thanksgiving dinner!!



This was Jason and Kaite Girl battling it out on Rockband(which we had never played before and it's so fun!). She is the all time champ so of course Jason had to try and take his shot at winning her...but she is still the champ today!! Go Kate!!


These are Michelle's ducks that she raised and now live a few houses down in their subdivisions pond. And when you go outside their house and yell, "Ducky, ducky, ducky," they come running all the way up to their house across the street!! Crazy...huh!!! And we stopped on the way up to the Brantley's to feed the ducky's some cherrios(their fav)!!!



It's crazy cause they let you hold them, feed them, and pet them like no big deal!! They were super fun and so was our Thanksgiving! And I hope everyone else enjoyed their own Thanksgivings with their loved ones!!

Our little vaca......

Jason's vacation time is 9 days like normal except we usually go out of town on a big trip but we decided to stay here in Birmingham and gets some stuff done around our apartment and get him all rested up( we are going into his busy season for work). But while we were here in Birmingham we wanted to do a little something just to get out of the apartment for a long weekend. We drove about an hour away to a beautiful golf course in the middle of know where, it's called,"Farmlinks". It's 3500 acres of land with skeet shooting, they have long horned steer(which I am not quite sure what you do with them, but they were fun to look at!!! LOL!!)horseback riding, quail hunting(Dad it sounds like the ideal place for ya, you would love it!!)golfing and now they just added some lodging. They have a few cottages, cabins and one big lodge(which is a individual house they rent out with 8 bedrooms....crazy big huh!)on the property, which were amazingly beautiful and brand spankin' new. So here are some pictures of our little trip!




These are our good friends J.P. and Ashley Mendes, we invited them to come stay for a couple nights to hang out with us.


This was inside our cottage, it was the main area or common area, with four bedrooms.


One evening we had their executive chef come out to our cottage and cook us filet's and grouper, it was awesome...yummmmm!!!


At each house they have your own golf carts to drive around and most people use those instead of cars. At our place we had 4, that's one for each person......ohhhh and did I mention that they have head lights????? So yea, we all jumped on our own one night and played a little tag!! It was fun!

Ash and I decided one day to do our girlie stuff, you know just the deep hair conditioning, face masks, toe and finger nails and we even did the cucumbers(to bad we didn't get a pic of that tho..lol!). It's always fun to pamper yourself!!


Ohhhh and this is on a totally different note.....but Tink found a boyfriend who lives right above us named, Stimpy!!! He was a abused dog that just got rescued and his owner goes out of town often so we babysit a lot!!! She loves him, I think because he is so mild mannered(which is bizarre considering what he has been through) but he is an awesome dog and she's kind of a snob and doesn't like other dogs!! But they are just adorable together!
