Fun Day at the Drivers!



                                
Maybe subconsciously it's a strategic move on my part...they ALWAYS want to go to the Driver's to play!

Nine Years Old! It seems like just yesterday...

June 22, 2002...it seems like just yesterday we were welcoming Benjamin Reid Burroughs into this world. 6 weeks early, but he still weighed in at 7lbs 6oz...

We were blessed to have Kelley, Megan, Nate, Dad and Bud join us for dinner last night at Nina's in Tyler. We enjoyed yummy tamales, fresh tortillas, quacamole and an ice cream cake that somehow came without the ice cream! :-) No one seemed phased as we celebrated Ben's 9th birthday.

Florida Fun 2011!

Our annual family vacation to Florida this year was once again packed with lots of time on the beach, by the pool, and visiting our favorite restaurants and watering holes. We even added a new twist this year by meeting up with some of our favorite Quitman folk to hang out, introduce them to some yummy Mellow Mushroom pizza (a favorite from our days in Atlanta) and to watch the Dallas Mavericks beat the Miami Heat to win NBA Championship. (Watching this WHILE in Florida was just an added bonus!!) Is it too soon to start counting down until next year???  365, 364, 363, 362...


Yummy pizza and fun with the Burgos family at Mellow Mushroom.
An annual favorite...AJ's Landing after a long hard day on the beach!
PawPaw and the boys.
Megan enjoying a little seaweed wrap while buried in the sand.
This was Will's favorite hangout each afternoon.
Outside Angler's after the Mavs took the Championship!
Cooling off with PawPaw at the pool. (Or, washing the sand off...)
The best purchase of the vacation...bright green beach chairs! We logged many hours in this position!
Sand castle construction...
