It's Party time

This last weekend my Zumba friend Laura and I

got to head out to Tuscaloosa Alabama...

for a Zumba certification class.

Oh my goodness.....it was so much work, but

so so so much fun!!! We were both sore and stiff

from all the INTENSE Zumba we did from 9-6

but we were so excited it was hard to notice....

unfortunately when we left, the party was

over and the pain arrived. But it still

wasn't to bad....just a little achy.

----------

I am happy to say that we were both shining

students throughout the day....at different points of the class

we both got selected to go on stage and booty shake with

the instructor (Eric) ;) !!!!

----------

During a choreography session

we split into about 6 different groups and had

to freestyle Zumba within our groups and
Eric would pick the choreography he liked best to

go with the song....

Well, Laura and I were the ones that

he liked the most out of our groups so we

were both picked for that too.

----------

Now we are officially Zumba instructors...

(well maybe I can't say official until we start working)

But we are certified to teach !!!!!

Oh my goodness....I am just so proud of us.

This was out instructor Eric and he was AWESOME!!!

If you ever want an amazing workout and you

are in Miami....look him up!!!

YAY for Zumba!!!!!

A new addition to the family!!!

Meet Flicker....

This is his first bath...he needed it bad!!!

He was an outside puppy and he smelled like it.

He looks so pitiful....

aaawwww

Trying to get him to tinkle outside....took us

about 25 minutes of waiting....

and waiting.....

and waiting....

but, he finally went and we were such

proud little parents....1st day and no accidents.

Sandy is having a little bit of a hard time

adjusting to not being the only dog anymore.

But I am sure in a few days she will

be a very protective big sister!!!

Welcome home Flicker.....

A BBQ

Our friends the Martins invited

several families over for a barbecue.

It was such a beautiful day and there was

way to much cuteness going on for

one camera.

Here are some of the cuties from the BBQ

Travis in the drive thru......

Man...I am so lucky....yowzers!!!!Travis will rarely smile into the camera
he always make a silly face or looks the other way.
What a goofball!!!

See what I mean....CUTIES!!!!

Winning the fight

My good friend Tiniel.....this is her

is going to be walking in a "Relay for life"

to raise money for finding a cure for cancer.

Tiniel is an amazing woman, friend, mother and wife.

Not only does she want to raise money for the cure

but she wants to give something to those who

are willing to donate and help....

check out her story here.

A little disc

One thing we love about Georgia.....

is that there are about 4 Disc Golf courses

within 30 minutes of our place.

We try and get out about once a week

to play a round of golf......

yup...that's Travis in the trees......not

a very good way to start.

But, he's good enough that even with this

bad throw he will beat me.... :(

Getting his par shot....look at that form.
Come on hole in one....yeah right.

Sandy loves when we go to the course....it's at least

an hour and half of play time for her.

and....of course we have to bring her frisbee too.

Sometimes....we get a little crazy with our throws

and have to set out an an adventure to get them back

We saw this large woodpecker while

we were out one time and I had to snap a few pics.

I was about 10 feet away....pretty cool!!

If you haven't tried disc golf.....it's a lot of fun.

You should see if there are any courses near you.

You will need to get a disc made just for disc golf.

They have putters, drivers.....many varieties just for

this game..fun fun fun!!!

Have a great rest of week.

He does pay attention

I often accuse Travis of not listening to me.

Boy did he prove me wrong!!!

A while ago we were out to eat at Cracker Barrel....

(which was our first time).

They told us it would be a 15 minute wait

which was just silly because we could see

like 15 open tables.

I am pretty sure they just wanted us to

browse their shop and buy something.

IT WORKED!!!

Well I didn't know that it worked....I saw these

two wallets and I loved them I showed

them to Travis and then they called our name

so we went and ate.

I woke up Valentines Day morning

(which we called Normal Sunday)

and he got me the 2 wallets and bracelet

along with flowers!!!!
Man I am so lucky I have such a thoughtful

husband. I know he loves me and listens

to me even though I tease him all the time.

I am so lucky to have found him

and that he picked me because he could

have had anyone.

Sunny with a chance of...

SNOW?

and dogs....

Alright so in Georgia we got some snow!!!

(and everything closed)

It was so beautiful the snowflakes were so fat

and fluffy and it was really nice to get....

well not 6 Feet of snow....sorry Marylanders ;)

a little birdhouse at the neighbors....

I hope they didn't think I was taking pics

of them....hehehe....oops.

Sandy and I had some fun in the snow

well maybe she didn't because I made her sit and stay...

just so I could capture her beauty.

Her coat really pops with a white background.

Man she sure is a pretty dog....

Admit it....she is!!!

Unfortunately as quickly as the snow came

it went....by the time I got into a picture

the snow was almost gone....

goodbye snow, you will be missed.

However....I could do without the cold

that comes along with the snow.

If only the cold would go away too!!!

Well the Owen's fam is missing you all

very much....and sad to be missing all of the

exciting events going on in all of your lives.

Don't forget us here in Georgia.

We will see you all soon.

Christmas Day

So normally we would have our family
celebration in the morning and then
head to Knox to hang with my mom's family.
But my dad had to work.
So my mom and I had some extra time
and we decided to head up north
and discovered that NOTHING
is open on Christmas day.
We thought for sure that Walmart would be open...
but we were wrong!!!
Luckily Panda Express was open so we didn't starve
during our little Christmas day drive.

Here are just some pics of my mom's side of the family.

Josh and Gracie
