Look out Zaxby's...

Chick-Fil-A's got a secret weapon that you don't have------BRETT OWNBEY!!
Brett began working at Chick-fil-a 2 weeks ago. He is having a lot of fun and EATING a lot more!! Nothing like telling a teenager that he can have a free meal (or milkshake!)!! He's enjoying meeting new people and learning to answer to a "boss." Just thought I'd show you a couple of pictures so that you can see how much he has matured in the last couple of months. Keep in mind, his driver's permit (Lord willin') comes less than a month from now. YIKES!! (If you click on the first picture, zooming in shows off his handsome smile :) )

Happy Birthday, Hannah!

Hannah turned 11 on the 11th of April. She works at our church's Weekday program with the 2 year old class. On Friday, they surprised her with a party! She got a cookie cake (her favorite) and beach stuff--towel, sunscreen, goggles, plus a gift card to Wal-Mart. She was so excited. I can't believe she is a TWEEN now--where did the time go!?!?! Here are a couple of pictures from our family celebration Friday night...

Working Man

Brett has officially joined the working world!! He worked for a family friend at Wood You furniture here in Greenville, SC for 2 weeks. He had a great time! This is a picture of him with his first paycheck ever!

31st Annual Reedy River Run

This is the 31st Annual Reedy River Run downtown Greenville. My goal for my 40th birthday was to do this 5K. My "normal" desire for any birthday would be to gobble up a triple layer chocolate cake with a gallon of my favorite ice cream! I decided that now I am "full grown" that I should have a better goal. Katie wanted to join me in this venture. We had a GREAT time!! She is a real trooper. Don't be fooled--I still ate a whole QUART of MudPie MoJo ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery--a dear friend brought it to me--thanks Lonna! You didn't really think I would skip the goodies, did you?

Who's good-looking kids are these?

It is so hard to believe how big these guys have gotten! Of course, reality sets in when I see them in a picture like this. Where has time gone? Brett will be 15 in May, Katie will be 13 in May, Hannah will be 11 next month and Luke is now 8 1/2--wow!

Our blood runs ORANGE!

A great day at UT!!

We went to see Tennessee play USC on March 9th. Tennessee won by 33 points!! It was the first college game that Angie and the kids had seen! GO VOLS!!!!!
