What we have been up to for the past several months...

It is hard to believe that we have had only 30 something posts this year. The past school year was crazy for me between shuffling work and my Piedmont classes. I am really glad that I have completed my specialist, but the road there was not easy. So many people ask me was it hard. No, it was not really that hard, but instead very time consuming. I learned lots of new information and made many wonderful friends, but I can say that I will be most glad to have my weekends back this school year.

Since I finished with Piedmont we made our trip to Belize (see previous post). Steve and I had a great deal of fun on the island and on our two day road trip inland. Since our return home we have enjoyed our time together and with family and friends. Many weekends have been spent at the river with family cookouts. My parents have a camper and we have spent some time at the lake with them. Steve had been trout fishing while we both have been working on our fly casting skills.

I can not believe I have to return to school in just a few weeks. We are spending my last days completing summer chores and taking one last summer vacation.

It is really hard to believe that I am beginning my 9th year teaching and Steve and I are beginning our 7th year together.

The following pics are in random order. Some are several months old, but I do not think they have been posted yet.

Sometimes Fish and I just want to sleep late, OK?

Ted, where do I begin...

He got a new Nikon D90, his first digital camera. He did not have a clue. This is a guy that can not turn on a computer and can hardly use a cell phone. He was being a great sport though!

New toy! Im'agonna take me some picture of my dogs, fish and odder wild critters!

Summer Jeep rides after a day at the river!

Lacy dog loves Jeep rides too!

Steve's birthday cake!

Cameron playing with rocks in the swimming pool. Poor guy, no water???

Home grown eggs and a flower from our friend Tina! Thank you.

Just as I was getting ready to relax on the hammock, the chicken litter truck arrives... I said not nice words!

Pappadeux ...YUMMMMMMMY!

Opps, Steve you broke the egg!

Sometimes the toys just have to be washed!

Wait, that boat is still following us to the lake!

Too many stops to Krispy Kremes at MOG this summer. At least we are nice enough to always drop the leftovers off at Steve's parents!

Everyone but Tut loves the pool.

I found this picture of me when I must have been 14 or 15.

I loved spending time this summer on the hammock!

shrimp and veggies on the grill!

Daddy made tomato juice last summer. It was soooo good!

Steve had little fish eating his toes at the river

Steve and Cary went fishing at the Toccoa River

Steve fly fishing in the yard.

Tut not wanting me to leave for Belize.

Or maybe he wants to me to go, so his grandparents can spoil him...

Daddy's birthday cake!

Snuffy sleeping, like always!

New SHOES!

Steve got a waterproof camera for Fathers Day. So we have been taking lots of random pics. These are Steve's parents koi.

Sometimes you just have to fight with the dogs, get their toys and play!

A day trip to the Lake.

We love summer Jeep rides!

Fishy spend the entire day on July 4th at the river.

She played all day.

She went swimming, chased balls, but she was never still.

She slept for days when we finally got home.

Dean and little Maggie Dean at Fathers Day dinner at Denise's house.

Daddy's GMC truck birthday cake.

The dogs sit very well ... for treats!

Lacy, Barbara and little Maggie Dean

Ted and Steve spend a weekend in May off shore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. The water was rough and Steve was sick most of the trip.

We have ordered way too much sushi in the past few months. Good thing I am getting a pay raise to support our sushi addiction.

We attended Easter sunrise service on Stone Mountain.

Fishy gets so tired when I am home all day. She follows my every step and sometimes just has to crash!

Steve feeding fish.

Steve's late birthday cake. It has Steve in the boat fishing, with Fish up front. The name of the boat is "Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy".

Savannah and Tut at the vet, getting their yearly check-ups.

Day lilies at Steve parents!

I love day lilies!

Steve cooked lobster hibachi.

I dipped Dahlonega strawberries, instead of doing homework.
