Gatlinburg! There were good times...There were bad times...

On Thursday we went to Gatlinburg and get in our cabin. It was one of those open rooms with the bed/TV/couch/kitchen all in the same room. We started drinking and enjoying the hot tub and then Bo gets a call from work...he got a promotion! (good times)...so I decide we need to celebrate even more so we open more wine!!

While I'm getting us more wine I noticed a small brown furry thing moving across the kitchen. I tell Bo and he says "yeah, I hoped you wouldn't notice". I've never been around a mouse, but he assures me that they will not come near me and it is fine. So...drunk Brooke thinks it's cool and I even named him Despereaux b/c he has big ears. The minute we turn out the light I start hearing a lot of scurrying on the floor (bad times)...so I tell Bo I want to sleep in the car and he is really against it. Then all the sudden Bo does this wild jerk in bed and then tells me he is now cool with us sleeping in the car. I turn on the lights...mice everywhere!!! There is a baby stuck in the bathtub and his mamma is trying to help him out...Despereaux is still in the kitchen...and then Bo admits that one was on the bed and touched him.

We did go on lots of tails and saw lots of wild life! It was a fun trip and we have good stories!

Roll Tide!

Bo and I went to the football game this weekend! We stayed with Amber and Chris and had such a good time! Roll Tide!

On Sunday we went to AL to visit Bo's brother and family. Cougar is home for a week before he is deployed for the first time. It was so good to see everyone and it’s the first time the whole family has been together in 5 years. Please say a prayer that Cougar will have a safe deployment.

Amber's Wedding

We had so much fun at Amber's wedding. It was so perfect and totally Amber! She looked absolutely amazing and sooo happy!

On Saturday she had a bridal tea at this beautiful winery. She had everyone wear hats and pearls! It was so cute and made for some very cool pictures.
That night we were all so worried about the weather since it was an outside wedding, but it ended up being perfect! God was watching out for us because when the reception started…so did the rain! We had such a great time. Congrats Mrs. Shumate!!

Not much going on...

...which is awesome b/c for so long things were so crazy! First, Louie is doing fine. He is back to his old Dr. Evil ways and recently has been very interesting to watch. Everyday is a new way on how it plans to escape...he is getting pretty creative! You have to keep an 'eye' on him :)

Penny and Paulie are growing up so fast! Penny is a young lady and Paulie is straight up male dog.

Bo has been out of town all week and he gets to come home tonight! Its suppose to be a very nice weekend so we can't wait to enjoy the weather!

poor Louie...

We aren't exactly sure what happened, but the vet thinks he was hit by a car. I was taking Paulie out on Wednesday morning and Louie came walking up looking very mangled. We rushed him to the emergency vet and they said his eye wasn't recoverable. He went through surgery that day and they removed his eye and wired his jaw closed. We were able to pick him up on Saturday and bring him home. He is doing ok…he has to be in a lot of pain. But he is eating well and staying still.

Diving Dolphin

This weekend was Amber's Bachelorette party. We went to Sandestin on Friday and met Amber out by the pool! We went out on Friday night and then made our way to the beach on Saturday!! The weather was perfect and we got lots of sun, plus the ocean was very clear. Amber opened her scandalous presents to prepare for her honeymoon...the diving dolphin was by far the best gift and made for good entertainment. Saturday night was so much fun...we went to a dueling piano bar and got our drink on. Made for a long trip home, but we made it.

Puppies

Paulie is growing up so fast! He went to the vet yesterday and got a good check up. Penny loves her new brother and plays with him constantly...the little guy holds his own though.

Here is one of Penny playing dress up!

I have to put Paulie in the tub while I'm getting ready in the mornings...keeps him from having accidents. However he is not a fan
