Our History to go along with our present that you are going to share with us.

Back in 1982 David loved to play video games down at the old Tasty Cave. Not the kind of games the kids play today, but the first real arcade games that took a quarter to play. On these old time machines if you had the most points then you could enter your initials as high scorer. Because we were together and in love he wanted to put both of our initials up. I laughed and loved the idea. At first we said, DAT David and Toinia, but David said, "NO" it would be and will always be "TAD" Toinia and David and he wanted the whole world to know it. (Keystone was our whole world) Aww kind of cute right. Well now all these years later it is not just TAD but a few more. 10 to be exact. Miranda, David, James, Mary, Stephen, Aaron, Sarah, Daniel, Lawre, and baby Krissy. So you see we are Just a TAD more then when we first started out.

Come along and follow us through a summer filled with lots of family fun
and some major mile stones.
Home made garlic bread
You should have seen the mess. I didn't think of grabbing the camera.
Take my word for it. "It was a mess!"
Playing in the back yard




Krissy has a boo boo
Daniel not feeling so well

Going to friends graduations

Watching beautiful sunsets.

Celebrating Grammy coming for a visit
Is it just me or does everyone have to take at least two takes to get a picture where everyone is doing right?
The van got a much needed face lift.
She is almost as old as Mary and she is still going strong.
Showing off to Grammy all the things we can do.

We tie dyed 18 shirts for the lake
Decoupage jars to take to the lake for tea candles.

We must be having fun
look at the mess ha ha!



See I told you we were having fun and this is just the beginning. Part 2 coming right up.

David had some work in Florida to do so I tagged along.
If we had to stay in Florida who is to say it couldn't be at the beach

The dry sand was like powder. So soft
hard to walk in.
Joe's Crab Shack was to much fun.
I can't wait to take some friends from the tundra
They did a line dance like the one we did in band when we were kids.

I watched the birds.
They were so beautiful
Tried to get a sunrise on film but could not get the camera to do right.
Had to be camera era not mine, right?
Waiting for David to get up and I watched the sunrise and the birds some more
We sat late at night in the red life guard seat. We had the beach to our selves.
Just the two of us
Work, Work Work
I got him out on the beach but he was still working
so I took a picture to show him what he did on this trip
My battle ship
I told David to get out of bed and look at the battle ship.
He said it wasn't and I made him laugh (but I can still think it is).


The water was like glass and we floated and relaxed for hours.
In the afternoon it rained and the water got all wavy and we body surfed. Then we jumped in the pool at night. It was great to get alone with David and his cell phone. ha ha

I have been so upset with David then he comes home and plays this song. Why does it have to be David that drives me crazy and makes my heart skip a beat all at the same time. 28 years ago tomorrow we official got married but it was after one date that I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this guy.

He is always quoting John Wayne's, Mclintock "Of all the women in the world why dose it have to be you that stirs me". Then he grabs me and gives me a kiss. The kids love this, but lately I'm the one feeling this way about David. Well, we are down to the wire and our foyer is full of bags so you can't hardly get out and he comes home and plays this song for me. He drives me crazy, and I love his so much.

David and son David left this afternoon to ride the motorcycles to Florida. We will be meeting up at 1 pm Saturday at the lake house on Kingsley Lake for a week of fun in the sun. I was upset cause it is our anniversary and I wanted to be with him, but it is very important that he spends some time with David. Saturday June 11, 2011 28 years of being married to the only guy that is in the world.

May 1, 2011
Fort Puluski, Savannah Georgia
Powder Rat, Ammo Private, Morale Leader, Flag Bearer, Sargent, Commander Chief

Time for room inspection.

All day long the children pretended they were in the army.
Bring on the grub.
Heave, ho, the ammo cart must get through.
The fort was used a prison.


Stephen and Aaron loading the canon
The the far left of the picture you can see dirt mounds.
Under the mounds are tunnels that you can run through.
We had a blast running and feeling like you were going to get lost.
Attention
Parade ground in the middle of fort.
Our Laure looking at how they get the water in to the moat.
We had a picnic then changed and went to the beach.


We watched great big boats leave the channel and head out to see.
