Today I thought I would share some pictures of our house.  I found an old picture from before we painted and WOW what a difference!

There is a baby in the yard haha :)


I also have to brag on my petunias and ferns.  I have babied these guys from day one.





This fern has a family of birds living in it.  


Both of these ferns have almost tripled in size since I bought them!  I am not at all a green thumb and am very proud of myself for keeping several plants alive this year :)



Keep on growin'..........

"All tha freaks are on parade..."

Lisa and I took on Bonnaroo this year.  For those of you who don't know what it is I will gladly explain.  Bonnaroo is a 4 day music festival in Manchester, TN.  The festival is on a 700 acre farm about 60 miles from Nashville.  Bonnaroo welcomes about 100,000 music lovers each year.  This is my 3rd year to attend.  Basically you camp in a giant field for 4 days.  They provide porto-potties, $7 showers, and water stations.  They also have a general store and hundreds of vendors selling everything from kilts to crawfish pasta.
This year we got to see Dave Matthews Band, Stevie Wonder, Phoenix, Steve Martin (the actor turned banjo player), Jay-Z, Zach Brown Band, Galactic, Kings of Leon and that's just to name a few. 
Here are a few pictures from our adventure.

 
We were showered, packed and ready for fun!!


Just one of the interesting people roaming along the side of the interstate as we sat in traffic.

That is just a small taste of how 100,000 people get to a farm at the same time.

Almost there!!!!


CAMP SITE



We even had our own potty :)

That's our view from camp. 


These guys were playing invisible jump rope.  This is just one example of the title of my post.



Here I am on the ferris wheel.

Off in the distance you can see the main stage.  Look at all the people.  Amazing!



Here we are about to enter Centeroo.  The tents and stages are located here.  



This funny looking guy is one of the giant bobble heads.  


Below are pictures from the main stage.




Ok, so let me explain this.  This is the Silent disco tent.  When you go in they give you a set of headphones.  Only the people inside can hear the music.  Watching from the outside you have no idea what they are dancing to.  This made for great entertainment!




We had so much fun!  I'm so proud these 2 30'somethings can still camp for 4 days and keep up with the "kids".  



Check out www.bonnaroo.com for more information about the festival.

Bubba

Dear Bub,
        There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss you and wish that you were here with us.  I love you and know that you are Marley's special guardian angel.  
I love you!
Annie

Today I came across this picture and it made me smile the biggest grin!

Happy 39th Anniversary Mike (Big Daddy) & Judy (Juju) Wade!!!


Big Thanks to Mary Beth and "Nate" for hanging with Marley tonight!!



We rarely get a chance to get all dressed 
up so I took advantage of a few shots :)



As many of you know I am not a big of fan of 
pictures of myself. Well I happen to like this one.  
So here it is (the person much more comfortable behind the lens).  





Big Daddy & Juju celebrate with Marley!


Then.........adult time!!!



An anniversary is a time to celebrate the joys of today, 
the memories of yesterday, and the hopes of tomorrow.  ~Author Unknown

The Hollands house of fun!!

It's hard to put into words the pictures I took today.  Enjoy!


Marley has a new hobby.  She calls it "sreeeep"!


Did somebody say TREE HOUSE???

To quote my child, "Ohhh WOW!"


How did I miss out on all the sweet kisses?




Precious Moments



I have no words for this next picture.  Insert your own caption!



















“You are what I never knew I always wanted”
From the movie, Fools Rush In








Lilly was not impressed with Marley's painting (eating) skills.

We can do anything baby
You and me together

The two of us together
We can do anything baby
You and me together
