Hi Everyone!!!

I promise I keep trying to update my blog but my computer keeps shutting down when I'm almost finished. Dial-up is NOT fun when you are trying to download pictures, updates blogs, etc... I can't wait for DSL to become available out here. We were suppose to get it the end of last year but because of Hurricane Katrina - all of the phone company's equipment went to the Gulf Coast so... I can wait - they have it alot harder down there than I do up here so I will patiently wait.

Carrigan started softball a couple of weeks ago. She is having so much fun. Her team is the Brooks Pressure 6 and Under team. She is probably the youngest memeber on her team. Since her birthday is in January we got to choose if we wanted her to play on the t-ball team or the slow-pitch team and we choose the slow-pitch team. I can't wait for one of her games. It's going to be so much fun. Carrigan's best friend Bailey from school is on her team and it's fun seeing Bailey's mom Tori, her dad Brian and her twin brothers - Camden and AJ. Alan is only a month or two older so the 3 of them have fun playing together!

We are really looking forward to Denise and Joe's wedding. I can't believe it is less than 60 days away. It seems like yesterday that she told me that she was getting married!!! I am so happy for her!

We've got several other trips planned this year. We are taking the kids to Daytona Beach for Memorial Weekend and then in July we are taking them to Disney World. Carrigan doesn't know that we are going just in case something happens and the plans have to change. It would break her heart!

I'm going to try to keep this updated like I said but since I have been typing this - my computer has turned off 3 times. I save what I'm typing every line or so....

I was going to add some pictures but - guess what my computer keeps shutting down :-(
