This first one is of my and my favorite cousin Brittney and then one with my wooly brother Jordan (he is down at Deer Camp in WV now and has to look the part =) Hope everyone has a happy holidays!

Wow has it been a while or what?? Things are so busy for me right now with work that I never have any time to get on here. Since my last blog a lot of crazy things have went on. My family and I went down to the mountaintop overlooking Grandpa's farm in WV to bury Dad's ashes. We had a good time down there and now we see Deer up there all the time were Dad is. We make jokes that now the deer are saying "try and come and get me now!" My mom stayed the week with my grandfather and his wife Diane. When she came back we then got the call that my Grandfather was killed in a chainsaw accident. We thank God that all of us went down there and that Mom got to spend some extra time with her Dad before it was his time to go. So Mom, Jordan and I all drove back to WV and was there for the week. In the meantime I started a new job as an Administrative Assitant for an apartment community. It is ALOT of work that people could almost never imagine so I am constantly going hard at it. Deonta and I have also seperated so baby D and I have moved to Bexley. We still love each other very much but feel at this time it is best to be apart. He has the baby on the weekend so it has been working out fine so far. I have been traveling for work and traveling to WV so it has been really crazy for all of us. We are trying to get settled into our new home and get into a routine. We will be going to WV for thanksgiving this year. We are trying to make deer season and Thanksgiving as upbeat as possible for everyone since both Dad and Grandpa are gone. I apologize for everyone for not being in touch a lot lately. THings are so busy and crazy for us right now and I don't get a chance to ever email anyone or call. I should have some pictures soon of Halloween, Deonta was the cutest Cowboy ever!! I will post some pictures soon (hopefully). Love you all!!

Here is a picture of my newest beautiful cousin Gabbi!!! She looks just as onery as her mom Brittney!!

Happy 1st Birthday to little Deonta. We held is party at Brookside Park in Ashland OH on July 23rd!!! I can't believe he is one already. As you can see he loved his cake!!! I will have more pics to put up as soon as my mom EVER gets around to uploading them for me! haha!

Took a trip last weekend to West Virgina to bury Dad's ashes on top of Grandpa's hill. We all had a good time and feel that Dad is where he wants to be, up with the deer and the sheep!!! Sure didn't want to come back home as everyone knows once you are there you don't want to leave!! It was also time to take Lauren back to school! One more year girl and you will be done!!

I started a new job this week as an Administrative Assitant for an apartment community. It is a lot of work and more than I have ever taken on before. There is a lot of accounting and payroll and goverment work. The goverment required more paperwork than anyone else on god's green earth.

Deonta is doing well, just going to work and plugging along at school. He is currently taking some senior level classes and of course getting A's on all of them. He is expected to make the Dean's list yet again this quarter.

Here are the pics of Lauren, Jordan, and I getting our tattoos in honor of Dad. These were done by Jeff Lambert at Lambert's Tattoo in Mansfield the day after Dad's funeral!!
