Angel

angel122307.jpg
Since a certain baby will soon begin dominating all of our pictures, here's a cute picture of Angel from today. She likes to lay where the sun comes through the blinds, which in this case is on the arm rest of our couch. Not many dogs could fit there.

Alabama Theater

For this year's 1122 Christmas Party, we saw A Christmas Story at the Alabama Theater (I know, technically they spell it "Theatre" but last time I checked we won the Revolutionary War).

Flannel Quest 2007

fq2k7.jpg
Tonight was Flannel Quest 2007, which marked the 9th Flannel Quest. Brandon talked our waitress into letting Tammy wear an apron and bow-tie for the picture. Playing the pregnancy card can get you anything you want. On another note, if anyone is looking for a Rosie O'Donnell Show Christmas ornament, America's Thrift Store in Alabaster has several of them in stock.

Chattanooga

We took Friday off from work and spent the weekend in Chattanooga for our last trip before the baby comes. Obviously, we didn't push ourselves too much and didn't even try to see and do everything. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable trip.

We went with Brandon and Kelly to the UA Homecoming game against Houston. The game was...well...we won at least, and we had fun. We ran into several people at the BCM that we hadn't seen in a while.

6th Anniversary

6th_anniversary.jpg
To celebrate our 6th anniversary (and last one we don't have to get a babysitter for), Tammy made breakfast. We later took a picnic lunch to Star Lake in Hoover, then for dinner we ate at J. Alexander's (where we ate the night we got engaged). We took a walk at Howard Lake in Hoover, and then we topped off the night with caramel pie from O'Charley's (where we went on our first date).


babyducks.jpg
At Star Lake and then again later at Howard Lake, we ran across lots of baby ducks. Tammy the aspiring duck photographer took plenty of pictures.

Kentucky

While we were in Kentucky, we found some horses we could actually get close to. This one might not have a future at Churchill Downs, but it was cute nonetheless.

We also visited Schmidt's Coca-Cola Museum in Elizabethtown. They have the largest private collection of Coke stuff around.

Callaway Gardens

Ruffner Mountain

I know you can't really tell where we are from this picture, but I hadn't posted a picture in a while so I wanted to post one. Today we went to Ruffner Mountain, a park that's pretty much right in the middle of the city of Birmingham. Tammy got to see a lot of birds.

Birthdays in Huntsville

bday2006.JPG
This weekend we celebrated both of our birthdays with Tammy's family in Huntsville. This works out really well for Ricky, as his actual birthday is not for two more weeks. The kick-off of what he calls "Birthday Season" is always a special event. The Incredible Floating Cookie Cake was delicious!
