Summertime FEVER


Snow is pretty for a day or two people.

..Or on Christmas Eve or day, I'll give you that.
That's it.

After living in Colorado and now West Virginia I have
had my share of snow and it's now annoying.
Sorry Mom. I know you like seeing snow.


It's safe to say I am ready for SUMMER.

I'm having summertime fever.
Lake, friends, windows down, boat rides, tan skin….

Y'all I married a hottie ;) 





You get the picture?

Life is Good! 
Come on Summer 2014.

Baby Buddy

Well Dad called me at the beginning of the week while I was at the gym to tell me some sad news about my baby, Buddy.

I was in public so I couldn't get upset or worked up with all these ripped up guys and girls about my dog. I did good until I got home.

here he is sporting a cool plaid vest, like his uncle.


No he's not on his death bed or anything. Its just when it comes to that little guy, I guess you could call me a tad obsessed. [I love my dog, sue me.]

Dr. Sam (our vet and family friend) advised us to leave Buddy over night at the vet for them to observe him on his first night with insulin. That's right. My pup is diabetic. Sad.

Lately, he's been having more accidents around the house and gulping down large amounts of water while not eating a bit.

So my brother clay took him to his check up visit on his ears and told Doc about the occurrences.. and that's when we got it laid on us about that precious baby.

On top of losing 5 pounds and being diabetic, he had a torn ACL. Gah, you would think that dog was a dare devil active pup like his cousin, Maggie Sanford.
here's my sweet, carefree niece in her nanner outfit 


So that's on the agenda next once this sugar thing is worked out.

Buddy is home, cranky, and wants to be treated like a king since we abandoned him at the vet for a day.


I'm sad he's not with me and at my parents, but I know he's is great hands!




Life is good and love your pets!

Back to the Blog

Wow, it has been a while since I have blogged.

Sorry about that!

Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years have all come and gone.

Bring on 2014.

We had a wonderful holiday(s) and an awesome time ringing in the New Year in Birmingham with friends.

I guess the best thing to do is to show you with pictures and hopefully stay on track from now on!

SIDE NOTE: Big events that took place over the last couple of months: 
Sissy and Ryan moved into a new BEAUTIFUL home, Dee, Sissy, and I took on NYC right before Christmas, and Ryan turned the BIG 3-0! [2013 was great]


Thanksgiving:






NYC:





Ryan's bearded Birthday bash:











I guess I've seemed to misplace Christmas and New Years pictures.

Santa was good to the Sanford/Lilly's as always and New Years was spent at the McKinney's house with great friends.

Jackson and I are still in West Virginia at the time and it should be about 3 more months until we hit the road again…..  no telling where next.

I've moved to WV for good or until we move again since my classes are online this time. Yippee!

No more driving AS MUCH.

Jackson and I will finally get the "real deal marriage feel." So far, so good.

We've joined a gym and hopefully will be looking good for summer of 2014. Jackson says, "we're bringing the 6 packs to the lake this year"…. we will see.

We are also planning to do some skiing over the next month or so and see what else is around us!

If you want to ski feel free to join us in WV!

Life is good!!
