Memphis vs. Tennessee

For anyone who follows college basketball, you know that this weekend there was an exciting game in Memphis. The number 1 University of Memphis Tigers played the number 2 Tennessee Vols. We had our Sunday School class over to watch the game. There was lots of cheering and lots of food. Then when the game was over, there was lots of crying. Even though the game did not end like we wanted, a good time was had by all. Note the redneck door decor that Fred created. He thought that he would make Dan proud with that one. :-)

Fred's Birthday

We had a little get together on Friday night for Fred's birthday. The party was a week and a half early because that was when everyone ( except Dan, Tami and Zeke) could be here. We had a good dinner of roast, mashed potatoes, corn, biscuits, and hot fudge cake. If you are a Shackelford, or have ever eaten at a Shackelford birthday dinner, you are probably acquainted with the menu. It was a fun evening and Fred got lots of good presents. Dan sent him a book and we got a picture of him opening it. Dan, Tami, and Zeke - you were very missed.

Go Tigers Go

Yesterday FredIII, Fred IV, Tori, and Clayton went to a tigers game. It was Clayton's first college game. He really enjoyed it, especially after they added the M&M game to it. This involved him getting a certain number of M&Ms for each type of point that the tigers scored. Afterward they ( along with Jennifer, Jack, and Lee) came over and we grilled burgers. It was a fun evening. I was not ready for them to leave. I did not get enough Clayton and Jack time. But then, I don't think I ever could.

Sabrina's Shower

This afternoon I went to a baby shower for Sabrina Kelly. Sabrina is having twins sometime in the next 6 weeks. She is having 2 boys which will bring her total of boys to 4. FOUR BOYS!!! WE WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU!! :-) Seriously, we wish you guys the best and can't wait to see the precious babies.

This weekend we kept our granddogs, Bear and Bryant, while Liz and Zach went to Nashville for the News Emmys. Liz was nominated for an emmy for best daytime news program. The dogs have been a lot of fun. They are really cute, as these pictures will prove.

Dinner Group

Last night we met with our dinner group at the Littlefield's. We meet with these same people once a month at each other's houses for dinner. We have a lot of fun. Last night we had a great Mexican dinner - thanks David and Cindy.

Dinner

Tonight we went to American Cafe to eat with my brother and sister-in-law, Lee and Carolyn Danley. We had a great time. We got there at 6:30 and did not leave until after 8:30. My niece ( and Lee's daughter) Leah waited on us, so that was a real treat. We had a good visit. Who knew when we were kids and he was such a pain that I would enjoy spending time with him as much as I do. Love you brother!! And love you Carolyn!!
