The New and Improved Woodall Family

Just wanted to post some pictures of the new addition to our family. Olivia Anne Woodall is now 6 weeks old and is growing like a weed. As you can see, her brothers adore her. Jonathan gives her about 50 kisses a day and even holds her in the bathtub. And, Isaac is extremely protective of her. Neither one of them will go spend the night anywhere else because they say that they will miss Olivia. Jonathan is now in Pre-kindergarten and is loving it. Isaac is, for the moment, still staying with Betty(Wes's mom) along with Olivia. Every other week though, they stay with Wes when he is not working. Wes is still working at Whitfield Co. Sheriff's Dept. as a Sergeant in the jail. He is also finishing up his Bachelor's degree and will graduate in December of this year. We are all very excited about that. I went back to work at the Walker Co. DFCS when Olivia was 4 wks old. Needless to say it was very hard to leave her so soon. Anyway, hope some others will post on this blog and I am sorry it took me so long to do it. Hope to here from all of you soon. - Wes, Anne, Jonathan, Isaac, and Olivia Woodall

Just thought I would introduce to you our new granddaughter born on our Anniversary -8-18-2008 - her name is Olivia Anne Woodall and weighed in at 7lbs. 9 ounces and 19-1/2" long. Anne, Wes, Jonathan and Isaac have all welcomed her home. -Proud Nana and Papa - Diane & C.S.

Bill, Susie, and Family

Thought I'd give this thing a try. I very much enjoyed looking at all the pictures and reading the blogs. Our family is doing great! Scott and Sarah are starting their sophomore and senior years at Truman State in Kirksville, Mo. Sarah spent 45 days is Greece this summer studying abroad and most of the rest of it in Kirkville working as a waitress. Scott worked most of June and July as a lifeguard in KC before going to England to play soccer with his college team. He is in the 2nd week of pre-season workouts getting ready for another college season. They both are doing well in their studies and enjoy college life a lot. Susie and I taught summer school, then took a 9 day trip to Kauai, Hawaii. We had a great time. Susie retired from Raytown Schools and has started a new teaching position at the University Academy Charter School in KC. She is enjoying it so far. I started my 27th year of teaching this year and have signed on to coach 3 sports again. I'm getting back into wrestling a little by coaching the Middle School program. Cross Country practice is under way and between that and a full day of teaching, I'm keeping pretty busy. I'm going to attach some pics of Kauai and the family if I can. I almost forgot, the wonderful beast in the family pic is our yellow lab Jake who is both a joy and a pain, but we love him.

Biggerstaff Family Blog Explanation/Directions

Hey Everyone!

We (Kelly, Diane, Rhonda, and Anne) were sitting around talking on Father's Day and decided that it would be neat if the Biggerstaff Family had a website where everyone could post pictures and information. I am not as knowledgeable on working a website, except what I have had to do for school. Anyhow, Tony and I have a family blog using this same setup and it has been easy to use and FREE! We hope that everyone will post to it so that it gives everyone a chance to keep up with what is going on in the Biggerstaff Clan's lives.

Directions on How to Post:

First go to http://www.blogger.com/. From that page you will need to type in Rhonda Phillips' Email address for the user name and then get the password from myself, Diane, or Rhonda and type it in. This way everyone will have access to the account. Once you log in you can click on new post and type, post pictures, and even video. I hope this turns out to be easy for everyone. We really hate being so far away from everyone and hope this will give us all a chance to keep in touch. By the way, you can also comment on people's posts, which can serve as a communication tool. Well, we truly miss everyone and hope all are doing well!

Love,
Kelly Wolfe

4th of July at the Burnett house

As you can see by the pictures above, we all had a great time at Mom's house on the 4th of July this year. We enjoyed swimming, great food, fireworks, and family. We wish all of you could have been there to help us celebrate! We love all of you! Love, Rhonda

Hello from the Dennis'

Hi everyone!

Just got on to check out the pictures - thanks for going to the trouble of setting up the site.
A few good looking young men there!

We just got back from a 3 day trip to St. Pete - actually Redington Beach. We found an older but still very nice motel just across the street from the beach. Talk about cheap! We stayed for 3 nights and it was only $135.40 including tax for the whole stay. They have a wonderful, big pool and the rooms are nothing fancy but they are clean. The access to the beach is just straight across the street and the beach is not deep like it was in Treasure Island so you are only minutes to the water. Very nice stretch of beach! Just across from the motel is a wonderful restaurant serving breakfast and lunch and there is a bar and liquor store next door to that. There is a Doubletree Inn just two blocks away that has a tiki bar looking out on the gulf. We saw a couple of dolphins while sitting there. The name of the place is The Malibu Motel and resort. Website is: maliburesortfl.com . Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone is looking for a place to stay. The restaurant that shows on the website is closed down. It is the Frog Pond restaurant that is across the street that is soooo good.

Dad fell about a week ago, while trying to help a neighbor lady. He didn't break anything but is very sore and he is having trouble getting around. I think he is feeling his age right now! Mom is doing great!

Hope to hear from some of you!

Love, Teresa & Ernie

Recent pictures of the boys

I wanted to share these recent pictures of the boys with you. They are the sweetest and cutest boys and are my pride and joy! Yes, I am a very proud Aunt! Love, Rhonda

Rhonda, Alan, and Lola Phillips

Hi everyone! I hope all of you enjoy this site! I really am looking forward to viewing your postings.
Alan, Lola, and I are doing fine! I am staying extremely busy with work and school. I started back to school on May 5th to finish my bachelor's degree in Organizational Management. I should be finished in December of 2009. I can't wait! I am still working at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee and have applied for a Supervisor position. I hope to find out next week. Alan has been working on our deck and pool lately and is trying to make it more private for us. It really is looking great! Lola, our cat, is getting bigger every minute. She is about 10 pounds now and is not even 2 years old. She looks like a Maine Coon cat, but is just a stray that we rescued. She is very wild and loves to run and play. Since we don't have any kids right now, she is our child.

Wolfe Family Vacation

The week of June 8-14 we traveled with Tony's mom and brother to Panama City Beach, Florida for a week of rest and relaxation. With a 13 month old there wasn't too much rest or relaxation, but it was a very fun week! Jacob didn't care much for the sand, but loved swimming in the Gulf as well as the pool. Jacob sure does love water. We ate a lot of good seafood, spent time at Gulf World (like a small Sea World), and just hung out at the beach. Below are some pictures from our trip.

On the left is Jacob looking out at the ocean. On the right is (L-R) Chad (Tony's brother), Kathy (Tony's mother), and then our family. We had such a great time and hated to leave.
