National Championship Trip

Here are some pictures from the National Championship trip that Daddy, Michael, and Miles took last week. I really wish I would have gone, but oh well. I know they had a good time and from result of the game, the trip was worth while! Once again, Roll Tide!

Raise that trophy, Coach Saban!!!!

Gotta love Mark Ingram!

Delmar being serious before kick off! Or should I say, fake punt, interception and give Tori a heart attack......

They had to make a stop in Hollywood to see the stars.

The Ronald Reagan Library

The guys flew into Las Vegas and went to the Grand Canyon and The Hoover Dam. Evidently, the Glass Bottom "lookout" was cool. Daddy said that Michael did great and walked right out but he and Miles were struggling at first. The drop is over a mile down and very frightening.

The Hoover Dam

Looks like it was a great trip for them and I am glad to share the photos. Maybe Bama will be on top again next year and we can do it again (and I am not going to sit that one out!).

Bama wins again!!!

As you all know, Thursday night was a great night for the Crimson Tide. My Dad and brother-in-law made the trip to California. I was planning on going but the kitchen project and vacation days got in the way so I watched it at home with Bryan (who I think was secretly pulling for Texas) and he had to endure my cheering and screaming. I have once posted that if the First Baptist Church doors were open, the McCaig family was there......and same goes for football. Growing up, if Bama was playing at Legion Field or Bryant Denny, the McCaig family was there!

I can remember missing over half of Tara's birthday parties because they were on Iron Bowl day. It was a huge part of my childhood and even though I chose to attend Birmingham-Southern, I will be a faithful Bama fan forever. I think Bryan has realized this and doesn't try to push Mississippi State on me anymore. It was a great night and we are proud of what they accomplished this year. Roll Tide!

New Year's Eve

On New Year's Eve, Robby and Tara, Lauren and Cody, and Bryan and I headed out on the town. Tara and Robby came to our house first and we had drinks. We then went to Hot and Hot Fish Club for a delicious dinner. Afterwards, we went to The Club for drinks and dancing. We had a great time and brought in the New Year in style! Happy New Year to everyone. 2010 is going to be a great year.

Toy Train Exhibit at McWane Center

Jack Butler's favorite thing in the world is a train. My Dad also loves trains. He is building a toy model train table for Jack and Daniel. When we heard about the model train exhibit at the McWane Center, we knew Jack would love it. Daddy treated us to a day at the McWane center and the kids had a blast. Jack's eyes were so big as he saw all of the trains. We were very impressed at the craftsmanship of the trains and scenery.

Georgie comes to Toe Toe's house

Georgia Anne came back to Birmingham with me on Sunday and we had many many adventures. First of all, we went to Jump It with Noah, Nic, and Tara. The kids had a great time and Noah was so brave on the rides. Little Nic wanted to play too but only was able to get in the moonwalk.
Noah driving the race car.

Whitney and Peggy met us at Chick Fil A for lunch. Peggy and her Mommy were dressed in matching J-Lo lounge wear.

Georgia Anne and Noah had to sit by each other at lunch.

Nic was happy just to have a chicken nugget and a football!

We went to Whitney's house to see Peggy's new hot pink excersaucer. She was so happy to show us how she can play in it.

Later that day, Georgia Anne, Noah, Tara, and I headed to the movie theater (aka Movieator) to see the Chipmunks-The Squeakeal. It was very cute and the kids had a great time. Noah and Georgia sat right next to each other and Tara and I laughed so hard when sweet Noah, who was so enthralled with the movie, fell out of his seat! He was okay an laughed it off. At the end of the movie, the Chipmunks sang "We are Family" which is the song Georgia sang at our Wedding reception and so she got up and was shaking and dancing!

Our Final adventure occured when we pulled into the driveway and opened the garage door to see 2 RATS scamper up the garage wall into the ceiling! UGGG I am so sick of these varmets! The next day my pest control man pulled out 4 more dead rats from the attic.

I joked with Bryan that he went hunting in Mississippi for 4 days and didn't kill anything and I never left the house and killed 4!!!!

Christmas Day in Tallassee

Christmas in Tallassee was wonderful. It was our first Christmas as a married couple and we had a great time remembering our engagement one year before. The kids as usual were so sweet and had fun with their toys. This pic was taken at the Butler house about 7:00 a.m. Toe Toe made the early trip over and found the kids happy. Santa came to the Butler house and brought the kids everything they wanted. Jack got his basketball goal and race car. Georgia got her show and shine Barbie Horse and art supplies and Daniel got a rock a stack and blocks.

Over at Mom and Dad's house, Georgia and Jack enjoyed thier new Jeep and we all got a kick of watching them learn how to drive it. After a near fatal wreck in the ditch, Georgia Anne got the hang of it and was driving all over the driveway and in the road (our street is very quiet).

My dad is so talented. He is known to be a master wood worker and artist and he painted this oil painting of our home. He took the picture this fall and surprised us with it. It is beautiful and we love it so much. We hung it in the foyer so we can enjoy it everyday.

Daddy also surprised Leigh Anne and Micheal with an oil painting of their home.

Daddy showing off his new Corvette hat. For those of you who don't know, my Dad got a red Corvette for his 60th birthday and enjoys looking at it and sometimes driving it.....he has had it for 2 and 1/2 years and it only has 3000 miles on it!

Georgia Anne got a Wedding Day Barbie.

Daniel had a big day and got new shoes and 3 NEW TEETH!

Bryan loves a toaster oven and I hate a toaster oven. Ever since we got married, he has been dropping hints that he wishes he had a toaster oven for our house. Well, when Leigh Anne said she wanted to get Bryan something that he would really enjoy, I knew exactly what to suggest.....and he loved it!

NEW KITCHEN!!!!

Bryan and I are so excited to reveal our updated kitchen. After almost 2 years of looking at the mirror back splash, rusted sink, and ugly granite, we finally just bit the bullet and got the kitchen done. We are so pleased with how it looks and are very happy to share these pictures. Sorry the lighting is not great.

Our Family

I just want to show this picture to say that I love my husband, my pug, and my golden! Aren't they cute?
