Grandma

Brenda Gail Mangus

January 15, 1946-August 4, 2007

Macie's Grandma, Brenda, passed away on Saturday, August 4. She was diagnosed with Crutzfeldt Jacobs Disease a week and a half earlier. CJD is a rare and fatal brain disorder. Brenda was one of the most caring, energetic, selfless women I have ever known... and I am so lucky to have had her for a mother-in-law. We will miss her everyday.

RHS 1997

My High School Class Reunion was this weekend!! We had such a great time. It was wonderful to see all of my buddies... and their babies!! We had a family picnic Saturday afternoon at the park. Saturday night we had a BBQ dinner. This is a picture from the park... I have lots more pictures to post from the dinner!

Cows, Donkeys & Fire Ants

This evening, Macie, Mimi & I took carrots to the donkeys in the pasture. It was all going well and I was getting some cute pictures, until... I look down at my left foot and it was completely covered with fire ants. Not cool. Macie loves the cows and will stand outside of Mimi & PawPaw's house and 'moo' at them. So I guess it was worth the pain and suffering I endured to see the joy on her face and get great photos. Or maybe not.

Strawberry Pancakes

So my very favorite breakfast in the world is my mom's strawberry pancakes. She has been making them for us for as long as I can remember. Everytime I go home to visit I always request them. I am so excited that Macie loves them as much as me! Now she asks MiMi for "cake" for breakfast too!

Las Vegas

We just got back from Las Vegas! We went with Matt & Staci - We had so much fun!!! We spent 3 nights at the Mirage hotel. On Thursday, we went to the Hoover Dam - that is where this picture was taken. Friday Steve and Matt played golf, while Staci and I shopped, ate at The Cheesecake Factory, and spent time out by the pool. Friday night we ate at the buffet at the Wynn hotel... we ate more Alaskan King Crab legs than we could count! But the best part was just being able to hang out with our buddies again! It was a super fun trip!
