Kelsey . . . welcome to the family

We wanted you to know
How much you mean to Randy and me,
And welcome you with open arms
Into our family.

It was so easy for us to see
Right from the very start,
The special way you loved our son
And the kindness in your heart.

Thank you for the happiness
You have brought into his life,
I know that he is very proud
To have you as his wife.

From the moment you two were wed
How happy we shall be,
Our son gained a loving wife
And another daughter was given to us you see.


We love you,
Randy & Cathi (& Bethany)

To Brett & Kelsey . . .

During our G.D.O (Girls Day Out) last week, Terri bought these hand towels for you at Anthropologie. I told her I would post them on the blog so that you could see them. They are sooooo cute.













They fell in love . . .

They got married . . .

They lived happily ever after.

(This indicates little Brett & Kelsey's in the "happily ever after")

You made Father's Day Happy!

Thanks to both of you for calling Dad on Father's Day

and making it a happy day for him!

Hugs to Brett & Kelsey . . .

I ran across these pictures that we had taken before ya'll left for London. They were really sweet with Brody hugging Brett's leg and Harley hugging Kelsey and telling ya'll bye. So I thought I would send you both these hugs to say we miss you both, but we hope you have a great time in Mexico. We love you both!

Brett & Kelsey relaxing in the sun

just a little "lift-you-up"

Relax in the knowledge that HE who controls your life is totally trustworthy. He desires for you to come to him with confident expectations because there is NOTHING you need that HE cannot provide.

I read this quote this morning on one of my friends blogs and it just lifted me up so much. I think so many times we try and do things on our own because we think we can handle it or have the best solution, but the Lord just wants us to give it him. The Bible is a historical record of the absolute reliability of God’s promises. The Bible's promises have always proven trustworthy, so you can count on them. He is completely trustworthy and has never given us any reason to doubt that he will take care of it but as humans we make the process so difficult. So I pray that as you read this the Lord will speak to you about things that he just wants to take off your mind, heart or conscience and just fill that place with his love, compassion and sovereignty.

Psalms 145:13 ...The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made.

Kelsey's Lingerie Shower

the "Bride-to-Be"

oooooh, how sweet

Fun decorations

P.S. No, Terri & I didn't go to the Lingerie Shower. We were told by the bride-to-be to stop by later so that we could see all of the pretty things that she got! And no, we are not posting photos of all the pretty "unmentionables". Some things do have to remain private you know!

Brett & Kelsey's "His & Hers Shower"

K&B opening their first gift @ the shower

The beautiful arrangement that the hostesses bought for them.

Lots & lots of yummy food!!!

Strawberries dipped in chocolate that were divine!

It was such a fun day. They received so many great gifts. Brett got to introduce Kelsey to lots of friends and we all had a great time!

"Thanks" to Nonny, Aunt Wanda, Aunt Vickie, April & Granny Rose for hosting such a beautiful event!

"Thanks" to all of our friends & family for the gifts but most of all

for attending and sharing this special time with Brett & Kelsey.

Girls Night Out

Girls Night Out - April 2010

Mara Jo, Kristy, Lindsey, Terri, Cathi, Debbie

Robbie, Sommer, Bethany, Josiah

It was actually Brooke's Birthday, but she wasn't able to come. However, we did celebrate Sommer's upcoming birthday with one of Edgar's Chocolate Cakes which was absolutely divine!!

This actually the first time that Bethany and I got to meet Josiah in person. Of course we had to pass him around and get some of that "Baby Love".

Isn't he the cutest thing ever?

Then, of course, Mama T had to get her hands on him!!

WHAT A FUN NIGHT!

Brett's Thesis Project Opening

Brett's Thesis Project was absolutely amazing! Brett & the "State Park Team" designed and built the entire project at Lion's Park in Greensboro, Alabama. The Tony Hawk Foundation was a huge supporter for the project. There were several Skate Teams present at the opening and several visitors from throughout the southeast. The weather was perfect and the opening was a huge success!

This is a structure at the entrance to the Skate Park which they designed and built.

Some of the visitors trying out the new park.

Brett & Kelsey watching some of the skaters and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Randy and Tony - Not only is Tony a family friend, but he is a master welder. He donated his time & skill to help Brett meet his deadline Thanks to Tony for not only helping, but for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to the opening.

Randy, Brett, Kelsey, Bethany and myself posing entrance sign to Lions Park. The entrance gates are also really cool. They were also designed and made by Brett and the Architecture students at Rural Studio.

Brett ~

We are sooo very proud of you and your thesis project and the final result - WOW! It is definitely a WOW PROJECT! We are also proud of you and your involvement in the project at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. I am glad that you & Kelsey are gonna get to go to London to take part in the opening of the project. You really are my "ST-ARchitect!
