5/15 Welcome Talyn Leigh Ramsey!


Scott's cousin, Sara, and her husband, Byron, added a baby girl to their family. Tyson and Taylor are her big brothers! Please keep this family in your prayers as Talyn was born 4 weeks early and is in the NICU. Welcome Talyn and we can't wait to meet you!

5/12 HMS Spring Choir Concert

Allison's Spring Choir Concert was last Tuesday. It was FANTASTIC!!! Kudos to Mr. Kennedy, her teacher. They sang and danced and did a GREAT job! They were awesome!
The ending performance was a dance. If you have never seen "Evolution of Dance" on Youtube.com check it out. This wasn't the exact dance, I think it's better.






Allison's teacher, Mr. Kennedy even got in on the dance. He choreographed the entire dance!



















5/10 Happy Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day! Scott and Allison sang a special today at church as a Mother's Day gift to me. They both have beautiful voices and their song was wonderful! Thank you both, I love you very much!
After church we had a photo session. Me and the girls.

Scott & I


Kyle & I


We then met my mom, dad, brother, and sister at a local restaurant. We had a wonderful lunch, took some pictures, and then headed home for a Mother's Day nap! :)


My brother, Bobby & Ella Kate.



Kyle left early so he missed out on getting his picture made with us. I know he was upset. LOL!


My sister and my mom. As you can see, I look like neither one of them. When we were little people used to say to my mom. Oh, you adopted and then you had twins!



The three "Love" children with Mama.











5/2 Mother Daughter Banquet

Allison, Ella Kate, and I went to a Mother/Daughter Banquet with Scott's mom and Grandma at Grandma's church. Allison and Scott's mom sang and did a GREAT job! It was a really good time. We ate, had a devotional, had a great talent program, and did a lot of laughing.
Below, is Allison, Scott's mom, Martha, myself, Grandma, and Ella Kate.





My 2 sweet girls!




5/2 Kentucky Derby Breakfast

Every year we attend a Derby breakfast given by the Kentucky Colonels at the Pioneers (who have the best food) Building. Our family rule is that you have to be 17 or 18 to attend so Kyle is the only one of our children who can go. Scott was not able to attend this year so that is why there are no pictures of him. He was calling volleyball matches. We always have a big time and this year Kyle won a cookbook (which he gave to my sister), my dad won something but I can't remember what it was, and I won $20.00! In the words of William Turner, local historian, we ate, sang My Old Kentucky Home, cried, and went home. A good time was had by all and we took the opportunity to take some pictures. Above is a pic of myself, my sister, Jennifer, my brother, Bobby, my mom, and my dad.
Below, is a picture of Kyle and myself.
The 3 "Love" Children as we are still called. I'm the oldest, Bobby is the middle child, and Jennifer is the baby.


Here we are with my Daddy.


Here is a really good picture of my mom and dad. I can't believe that they are 65 and almost 64. They don't look anywhere near that old!






4/28 Welcome Eleanor "Ellie" Whitney Evans

Scott's cousin, Mark & his wife, Melanie welcomed a sweet baby girl on Tuesday, April 28th! Welcome Ellie! We can't wait to meet you.

4/27 Allison & Her Back Problems

For the last couple of years, Allison has been having some back problems. She's seen Dr.'s, done physical therapy-you name it. She went to Vanderbilt and had an MRI done on 4/9 and a bone scan (see pic below) on 4/27. Both tests came back normal and now the Dr. at Vanderbilt has recommended physical therapy to help strengthen her back. He believes all the tumbling, cheering, dancing, stunting, etc. she's been doing since the age of 3 has finally caught up with her. She did sit out a whole year from all activities and it just about killed her. I think she'd rather be in pain than not do anything at all. She's a very active young lady and very courageous!
