Ball Games
As you can tell, I have not been able to blog very much since November....the reason being...we have had 21 ballgames since November 12, 2007! When the season comes to an end, it is possible that we will have played around 28 games this season!!! It has been
a tough year for our kids physically!!! The parents are tired and we just go & watch!!
It is about to wind down, we have around 5 games left! Then tournaments!
Mural
Along with all these games, I was asked to paint a mural....another reason I have not blogged!!! With the help of family, I was able to get this completed. It doesn't look like much, but there are a lot of trees in the background, and I am up in the air!!!
It was also a 30 minute drive! This is a mural for Pat Price! It is her view of Cherry
Lake! Of course is looks better when viewing it with your own eyes! These are the top part of the walls in the dining area.
Homecoming 2008
Well today was Homecoming 2008, our last for our children! We were up and going early, pictures were at 11:30. I ended up steaming all the layers of this dress!!!! Heather, Cole's girlfriend was kind enough to do Cayla's hair and makeup. Thanks Heather!!!
Now, Winston was not at all happy about wearing the suit...but he looked handsome & was proud to escort his baby girl!!! We told him if he did not want to do it that Grand Daddy would be glad too!!! NO more complaints!!!He! Now, Cayla had gotten 2 blisters on the pad's of each foot from her basketball shoes and had been wearing flip flops every where. We had the dress hemmed for her high heels. She had to wear flip flops so the dress was longer than it should be!! Here they come...turn toward the left...good...turn toward the right...good. Now, he has already stepped on her dress...it is puffy! When they turn to the right, he just kinda kicked her dress over with his leg!!! It was so funny, everybody laughed!!! All of the kids looked very nice.
Benjamen Nelson and Jordan Lynch were crowned, congrats to them both!!! Winston asked Jordan's Dad how he kept from stepping on her dress....he said, he just kind a drug one foot on the floor!!!He!!! Great job's Dad's!!!
Cayla was ready to get out of her dress & in to her uniform. She was ready to play ball! They lost but most of them played well!
Enjoy the slide show!
Happy 25th Anniversary!
It is unbelievable that we have been married 25 year! Where have the years gone? I must say it has been quite a journey. Good times and challenging times, but all worth it.
Things I remember about our wedding day. Going to get our hair fixed....together, I believe it helped calm our nerves spending the day together! My hair was a little to poofy to my liking so I went home & rewashed it & fixed it myself before the wedding. Winston & I were laughing & then I think I was on the verge of tears!!!
I remember riding to the church with my Dad. He told me he did not think he was going to be able to talk at the wedding. His throat was real dry....nervous about giving one of his girls away, I know! I told him that he would do fine and all he had to say was her mother and I....he said...I know, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to say it!!! We laughed & he went to the Jiffy Store for some candy to help his throat. At this time I am just ready to get this done! My Mom was busy, along with all the ladies at church, preparing for the reception....it was great! The food was delicious!!! My Mom also was out getting a special gift for me, I had no clue. They gave me a beautiful strand of pearls! I love them still to this day!
Winston tux was to small, he had gained a little weight & did not go get remeasured, we told him to! Now why his shoes were to small I do not understand, but his feet were miserable & his pants to tight, poor thing! He was tired of having pictures taken especially under the garment issues! I must say we were both exhausted by the end of the wonderful day!
We had to choose a date that would be around Jerry's college and basketball schedule, we didn't want him to miss this day! So we were married on a Thursday night.
Deland Guthrie had to have an appendectomy, he was going to video for us , but his appendix had another idea!!!
We left Winston's truck in a field so no one would find it, we did not want to have to clean his truck before we left so late at night. I believe my Dad took care of the care for us the next day.
Winston was a great help for my family with the flowers at the wedding. The florist found out he painted, so they worked out a deal with some of the flowers. I had picked out what I liked, which was very simple, when I walked in the church, I was blown away.....way more flowers than what I had chose!
After mingling with out guests & saying our good-byes we began our new journey together. We went to Jacksonville Fl. & stayed at the Colson's Condo, that they so graciously offered to us! Oh yes, my new husband brought his guitar so he could serenade me, lucky me...right!
Weddings are so much work. They can not be completed without a small army of friends and family. To all who helped this day be special & complete...thank-you from the bottom of our hearts!
We have not celebrated our 25th with anything special as of yet, I did get a beautiful silver necklace that I will cherish forever!
We just have been tending to our family so far this year and decided that we would celebrate at a later date!
I thank the Lord for my best friend & soul mate. He has truly blessed my life!

Williams Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving at the Williams was another laid back, enjoyable event! Great food, great family and friends! Some tales of our childhood with lots of laughs!!! I really enjoy my nieces & nephews. They are all special to me. Each one being unique in their own way! Paul & Lynn, & family made the long trip back to Georgia. Kevin & Buffy, & girls made the trip from Valdosta. Winston and I, & family made the short drive from Morven!!
David & Missy, & family will come Christmas. We missed them, but look forward to December!
Two of our Bridges niece's came with us to the Williams. Now, they are pretty girls and I must apologize to my nephews for not giving them the heads up, so they could take showers and get more handsome! No kidding, we are laid back!!! Lynn & I did get a kick
out of the quick showers and hair combing that wet on rather quickly!!! Next time I will give the heads up guys!!! Sorry!
Now the younger ones had lots of fun playing outside! I had to take a picture of a dead frog for Macie! She loves nature!
The barn has so many childhood memories for all our family! We had horses, chickens, a deer, a goat, & I am sure I am leaving something out! Decided to take a picture, I'm sure it will be gone one day!
Also you will see a oak tree on the slide show. A tire swing has been on the big tree since we were kids. All kids love an old tire swing! Just ask my nieces & nephews!!!
Bridges Thanksgiving 2007
Once again we gathered for a delicious Thanksgiving feast at Emmett, Martha's & Jen's. Todd & Kelly's family, Winston and Jill's family, & Great G-Ma were able to come together & enjoy another one of Martha's wonderful meals! The food was great & we so enjoyed the time we got to spend with Todd, Kelly & their beautiful girls! We know it takes a big effort to travel such a great distance, but we appreciate it & enjoyed
them! Christina & Mary Kate came over & spent the night with us. We had many laughs and got to talk & learn about their lives and interest during this time! Jerry & Sarah came down that night, he had a class reunion, and I know Martha was so excited to visit with them as well! A Great Holiday for family!
