The Dotson Family Adoption

Amy and I just wanted to tell everyone happy Labor Day. We each celebrated this wonderful holiday in our own way. I worked on the church web site and on some homework, sprinkling football in between, while Amy labored in her own way. If you want a fun way to celebrate the holiday go to this link: http://www.homestarrunner.com/toons.html click on the "puppet stuff" button and then go to the one marked "labor dabor". Then enjoy. Happy Holiday, Kelly

Kelly turned the big 29 today! oh yeah almost there!!! :) Mark your calendars for next years throwdown! :) Here is a glimpse of Kel's night - I cooked chicken and dumplins (from scratch) for him and got him a cookie cake... kel got a circular saw, some blades, and ipod stuff - although he hasn't gotten the ipod yet...but we'll get it this weekend, and money money money.... oh and a target gift card for $52.99 - interesting! enjoy the pics! Kelly talking to Will..... braggin' about his "circular saw"

My "birfday" is tomorrow, but kel let me open my gift/gifts? early (he says i have more for tomorrow!) anyway - it's a 19" flat screen monitor - how romantic? I didn't even ask for it and I really really wanted it!!!! I was so proud of him, he has saved up without me knowing (i was planning a "birthday budget", dave ramsey style) so go figure!!!! here are some pics from tonight!!!! :)

Kelly and Roy have had lots of fun this summer taking road trips everywhere... this is a picture of them after their last roadtrip for summer of 2006...

Kelly's new hair cut - let us know what you think....

Desting was great fun. Very relaxing and a much needed vacation (finally) for both of us. While we took many trips this summer, this truly was the "vacation". We were able to sleep late, hit the beach, pool, play golf and a little bit of tennis. all in 2 days! ha. I even managed to do a "little" shopping. So good times were had by all - I helped Kacee pick out some maternity clothes for teaching. That was fun! We got home today and leave friday for Columbus for the infamous Kristie Perkins and Ben Hogue's Wedding! I do believe I cannot wait to get home on Saturday b/c that means NO MORE TRIPS for at least a little while!!!!! I don't think we could afford much more gas. We found out that my sister, Kacee, is indeed pregnant. this will be the 3rd grandchild on our side! yay fun! So anyway! I am posting a few pictures from the other night in Destin. They have a village called "The Wharf at Baytown" and it's like a really clean Bourbon Street. Live...

it has been a while since we have last "posted".... all is well in dotson land. We have had our nephew, Klaytin, here with us all week. We have done LOTS of things with him - movies, Mississippi Braves game, a day at Geyser Falls Water Park, and it seems as though we have eaten only junkfood this week! We have truly spoiled him rotten! The highlight of this child's week was our Nintendo. yes, the "mardis gras brothers" game was his FAVORITE! so there you go - he was so amazed that I even had this game before I was married. Well Kelly and I will take him back to Zachary today and come home tomorrow and pack up for the beach. YES!!!! FINALLY THE BEACH!!!! In other news.... Our church plant that Kelly is working for, Madison Heights PCA, is having our first "morning worship" this Sunday! Very exciting! For those of you who might not know, Kelly is a Pastoral Intern, the Youth Minister and leads the Mercy and Missions Teams. I am singing with the Worship ...
