Ready......

for FOOTBALL SEASON!!!! School will be back in full swing in a couple of weeks and it means that we are that much closer to kick-off in the greatest conference in the land-SEC. But, for all of you who read my blog and know me really well, realize that there is only ONE team we cheer for(and anyone who plays Auburn--LOL!) and that is THE University of Alabama. I'm not trying to be a 'bad sport' but we all can conclude that the feeling is mutual with the AU fans as well.

So without further ado, I have posted some pictures of the boys that Jeremy and I are raising as tomorrow's BAMA fans TODAY! (That particular slogan came from a Bama Baby video that we have for the boys........give credit where credit is due).

**Please note that Jeremy and I have quite a few AU fans(you know what they say about opposites attract) and I am not trying to be a BAD, OBNOXIOUS UA fan!!......at least not yet-LOL! ;)

July 4th Celebration @ The Wharf


Surprisingly, I do not have a lot of pictures to share with all of you from our trip to Orange Beach. Above are just a few of the boys and their cousins, Jordan and Hailey Hardy. {Yes, I took my camera but the majority of the time it stayed inside the room. It was actually kind of nice for a change. As most of you know, I'm what you would call a photo"holic" when it comes to taking pictures of my babies. ;)

We arrived at The Wharf with the rest of the Hardy family on Thursday and returned home late Sunday evening. We enjoyed our time with one another, swimming at the Oasis, and we(Jason, Rhonda, Jeremy, and I) attended the Montgomery Gentry/Little Big Town concert the night of the 4th at the Amphitheater on the grounds of The Wharf because the tickets were given to us when we checked-in on Thursday. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to see Little Big Town perform but we could hear them loud and clear from our room. While I'm mentioning the concert, I must tell all of you about the "One in Every Crowd" incident. If any of you listen to Country Music, you've probably heard Montgomery Gentry's popular song, "There's One in Every Crowd". Well, if you've listened to the lyrics you'll know that the are talking about someone who likes to make a big scene at all of the social gatherings. Anyways.......we were seating comfortably in our seats during this song when all of a sudden a young man(in his 20's) was running across the stage shirt-less(the whole time I'm thinking this was part of the act) and all of a sudden he spread his arms out like a bird, dove off the stage towards the crowd, and what do you think happened next???? Let me put it this way; they parted like the Red Sea and he landed smack down on the chairs/cement ground. Montgomery Gentry motioned for the sound crew to 'cut-it-off' and they made sure that he was okay. He lay there for quite a while and before we knew it we saw a stretcher headed to the vicinity of the fall. The EMS lifted him up and low and behold he was waving his hand in the air as if he was a football player that had gotten hurt on a spectacular play. Of course, I was glad that he was alive and moving his limbs but his inebriation caused this, I'm sure. Not long after, the concert ended and we headed back to our rooms and saw 'the one' strapped down on the stretcher with a bandage over his left eye and cuts/blood all over his body. Maybe the song should be titled, "There's an Idiot in Every Crowd". I know that probably is not nice of me to say, but for goodness sakes.........

We ended the "drama" filled night at the concert with the most phenomenal fireworks display that I've ever seen during the 4th. There were people all over the streets, in their boats on the river behind The Wharf, on the balconies of all 12 floors watching and remembering how proud we are to be an American. Hope all of you had a great 4th with friends and family. We'll be headed to the beach Friday with the Kelley Family and I'll try to take more pictures this time. :)
