Christopher's Birthday...can you guess how many???

Kelsie and Daddy feeling a little upside down after the birthday celebration!

Kelsie, "Can you believe grampie is making me go through all this paperwork? No problem he's still my favorite!"

Kelsie, "See, grampie knows just how to be my favorite!"

Kelsie, "Do you believe me yet??? He is my favorite! Wait...is he sleeping?"

Hooray! Angie delivered a healthy little girl May 3, Melody Skye...just precious!

The BABY WHISPERER, yup Melissa has predicted the closest to delivery date and time for two pregnancies. Now if she gets Kimberly and Brandon's we will know for sure. :-) Way to go Melissa.

Italian Cars

This is why they call them SMART cars.

(When in Rome do as the Romans, we were in Rome with the Cooke's)

I prefer red, but will settle for yellow.

We saw an email on Smarvette's and others. Thought it was a joke...nope. Here is a Smarvette on base.

View of back of Smarvette

So you always wanted to know who makes Ferrari??? Here is your answer...

Visit with the Cooke's

Vance's & Cooke's at Pompei

The video is below to see how these were made.

Yummy...

Yummier....

A definite favorite...is your mouth watering yet???

How much Italian Pizza is too much???

Memories at

Mama Mia Michelle's Pizzaria

Michelle and her assistant, by the end of the video there were plenty of expert pizza makers giving their suggestions.

This is a keeper video...The Pizzaria has since been rented out, the pizza's just are not the same.

Brandon and Kimberly's wedding in Destin FL February 27, 2010

February 25, 2010 -The family din din at Olive Garden...yummy (no it does not taste like Italian food :-)) Happy Birthday Angie!

Patiently waiting...(I was really hoping they would sing my new favorite song Lucky, by Jason Mraz, If you haven't heard it...go online and listen now search 'Lucky Jason Mraz ft Colbie Caillat Lyrics')

Here comes the bride...

Mercedes practicing her gymnastics in the elevator...1, 2, 3, jump and front flip!

Katrina, Kelsie and Christopher a very happy time.

Ryan and Maria Lawniczak came from Montgomery, AL for the happy occasion...oh yes the wedding, not just to see Bob and Lynnette.

Not sure who was welcoming who to the family. After the truce, Bob and Katelyn were able to pose for a smile...a little chocolate frosting never hurt anyone.
