Happy 7th Birthday Sullivan

Sullivan turned 7 on November 6th. We had a great guy party with just a couple of girls at the local park. They all played football, rode bikes, skateboards and rip sticks. We enjoyed cake, ice cream and a few snacks. Sullivan of course loved opening all the great gifts from his friends and family. Thanks to everyone who helped him celebrate turning 7!!!

Walk to Defeat ALS 2008

Make a Smilebox slideshow

On Saturday October 4th, our family and friends joined the ALS Association of Alabama once again to Walk to Defeat ALS. Tipton's Team raised over $3,500 this year. Because of such wonderful friends and family we have raised nearly $20,000.00 over the past 12 months. We thank you for helping us in our fight to find a cure for this devastating disease that took our Pops on July 3, 2008. For the love, prayers and support you have given our family, we are truly grateful!

Alabama State Fair

We were able to visit the Alabama State Fair. This year they moved the location closer to our house. The boys LOVED it...all I'm saying is low rent and rednecks! Where else can you go and spend $5 a ride...it's a fast way to burn up some money...but like I said before...The boys LOVED it. Enough said.

ROLL TIDE!

Saturday we went to see Alabama play Western Kentucky (my alma mater). It was a blow out which we expected. We all enjoyed ourselves, even though Redding & Sullivan hold firm to being Auburn fans...Boo! Now we're getting ready for some SEC games...Roll Tide!

Brian's Bear Hunt

Brian just got back from a week long bear hunt in Duck Bay, Canada. It is about 15 hours north of Minneapolis. He had great weather...chilly but wore three layers so he said it didn't seem so bad. The lodge was about and hour from any civilization. Nothing but wilderness, and stars. He got a bear kill the first day they went out. They only allow you one, so he did mostly fishing after that. He also came back with some grizzly man facial hair...oh my!

Are you ready for some F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L ?!?!

Today was the big kick-off to the boys first NFL flag football season. Redding and Sullivan had a good first game, even though neither of their teams won. Not to worry, we have plenty more to go, plus a tournament. It was hot, but fun to watch.One of Redding's best buds Matthew is playing too. Redding is a 49'er, and Sullivan is a Chief (The Woolfpack will be sooo happy!!!) Not to leave Camden out...He was all about the Tide today...Roll Tide Roll Baby!!!!!!

Labor Day Weekend

Well Nana, Noy, and Craig were able to fly in for the long weekend. We went to Brian's old high school football game, and went to the Lake on Sat & Monday, went to the movies after church...and ate...and ate...and ate!! The boys loved having everyone here...extra attention for them. Poor Craig, the boys couldn't get enough of his attention. It was an enjoyable weekend with family.
