3 Cheers to 3 Years!


The BRAT's went to Port A again for the third time, and it was so much fun. Of course, it wasn't quite the same without the Tinsley clan... and we were thinking of them alot!

BRAT's stands for Burnfield, Ratliff and Tinsley -- families that go to hang out on the beach for a week. We love going this time of year because no one is at the resort and we have the beach and pool all to ourselves.

Not too surprising if you know me, but we have the entire trip planned out in advanced and we just had so much fun with all of the activities and food! Chuck and Sandy Burnfield made our shirts this year and they were awsome, they had a FRAT Party theme, so funny.
Anyway, Mom-O hosted a Mermaids and Pirate Tea Party while the dad's and granddad's went fishing. She made all of the dresses, they were so cute.

New to this years agenda was a night of Karaoke at a local joint. Jenni, Brad, Me and Joe all sang -- it was a blast. Dibs go to Joe and Brad for actually singing a really great rendition of the Good Ole Boys! We made their blog, only in pictures, thank goodness, our singing didn't make it. Go to http://lovettskaraoke.blogspot.com/ and click on the picture at the very top of the dude in an orange hat. It is a slide show and we are all over it. So funny. Ok, I was getting really serious, because my eyes are closed in all of the pictures!

I am glad to be back, but alot to catch up on!

Ann update: My family was unable to join this trip due to my little nephew trying to come out and see us early. Ann is going into to her 29 week -- 6 weeks now at the hospital. Currently, she is hooked up to the monitor for 24 hours because he is not making too many movements. His heartbeat is strong and we are just waiting on the doctor to come and see her to give her next steps. Thank you all for your prayers and concern. My moto continues to be "Shock the heck out of Dr Adam every time she scans my little miracle nephew!"
