Family Reunion 2008

What an eventful weekend...Labor Day weekend is known for the traditional Hollis Family Reunion. On Saturday, everyone gathered at Hollis Park (behind Memama's house) for a cookout. The kids had a blast!! There was four wheeler riding and a paddle boat for the pond! (A couple of snakes were seen slithering around as well.) Sorry, I don't have pictures of this..I wasn't feeling very well that night so I came home early. On Sunday everyone came to Cheatham Dam under the pavilion. This used to be the traditional site of the reunion. (Just a little side note...when Chris and I first started dating--Labor Day 1995--my mom decided to take me and my sister down to Cheatham Dam for a little family time...Chris was there for his family reunion..of course I was having that teenage love...butterflies and excitement because I got to see him outside of school..I don't think I actually came over and met the family at this point though) Here are some pictures of the kids playing..you'll have to check out Corneice's blog for the family photo!

This is Cody...Chris' cousin..and although 18..still a kid!!

Baby Reed and Cichael...we miss you!!

Silly Lane Barger...looks just like his daddy..he'll

grow out of it!! (Love ya Brent!!)

Chris loves to act younger than he really is..almost 31!!

Dirty Dirty kids...Caleb, Lane Barger, and KK

Caleb's Talent Show

Nothing really going on..Caleb put on a little talent show for us tonight so we thought we would share. He sang his favorite song that his Grumpy taught him..."Amy" This is Grumpy's ring tone so he gets to sing it when Grumpy gets a phone call. He also wanted to sing something for his Hiny (long story for those who don't know us), Nana, and Ann. Enjoy!

I started school yesterday and work is getting insane (already preparing for Christmas). My posts may be sporadic and senseless..sleep deprivation causes this I think. I'm sure we will have lots of pictures from the Family Reunion this weekend to share. Will also update again when Lane and Caleb start their first day of preschool together...it should be interesting. I wonder who will cry the most..Lane or Nay Nay (love ya Nay Nay). Either way, Caleb and I will be there to support the both of them. Grandaddy will be there "to take him home if he cries." Have a great week everyone!!

First Day of Kindergarten

We have had an eventful couple of weeks. Kaelyn has started Kindergarten at East Montgomery Elementary (Chris' old stomping ground)! So far she has really liked it and has made an easy transition. Mommy on the other hand, was a blubbering mess as they announced on her first day that this is the class of 2021. I can't imagine sending her to kindergarten every day..I don't even want to think about graduating from high school. Here are a couple of pictures of her first school bus ride. She was a trooper and really enjoyed it!

I HAVE FINALLY GIVEN IN!!

Everybody in my life is technologically more advanced than me...so I thought I would keep up with the times and finally be a "blogger." I don't really have a major purpose in my blog..except showing off my family; plus since we now have family in other places, this will help us stay better connected to what's going on each other's lives. Above is a picture of Chris and me, below our beautiful children..without whom our lives would be totally uneventful and we would have to find something to actually talk about with each other...lol!!! (Just kidding, Chris.)
