Otto and Stephanie sitting in a tree....

So I'm hangin at the Chuck E Cheese tonight with the Wade family when my cell rings. It's my brother Otto. He never calls me so his name appearing on my phone is like a kick in the stomach aaaahhhh what's wrong!!?? (you could really call me more often). So why was he calling you ask?? MY BROTHER IS GETTING MARRIED!!! Yay Otto and Stephanie. Congrats to the both of you!

Here they are...the happy couple






This is a great shot!

Aplin Farms Pumpkin Patch

This place was great! I spent some time talking with one of the owners of the farm and learned they have a huge Farmer's Market there in May and June. I can't wait!

Hay Ride

They gave us sunflowers to take home with our pumpkins...

The world of blogging

For those of you who haven't visited us here in Alley Bammy this first post is for you. This is our sweet home in Alabama. My sincere apologies for taking nearly two years to get these pictures to you...



You can thank Megan for the blog! http://www.girlmeetscamera.blogspot.com/

The shop Brian built. And one barking Tory...





Kitchen - Kinidi look closely at the books on the counter...recognize them?





Dining Room




Formal Dining Room - I've been looking for a replacement light since we moved in. If you don't like something at Lowes or the Wal-Marts you're out of luck.






Den. And one walking away Tory... The Doberman pictures on the walls come to you courtesy of Abigail and her pastels. In fact, all of the art on the walls in the den are Abigail...








Formal Living Room. And one stretching Tory... Recently painted and in great need of an upholstery shop to reupholster the furniture to match. Oh, and some art.







The little bathroom under the stairs. This poor bathroom is itty bitty and was covered in little pink, green and blue flowery wallpaper when we bought the house. Stripping the wallpaper was a nightmare but this project is one of my favorites so far.

Abigail's room. Her bed takes up a lot of room so it's hard to get a good shot.

Elizabeth's room. Kathy check above her bed...

Master bedroom

Houston we have a Blogger!

To all of Melissa's friends and family,

This is the Alabama Friend, Megan, and I wanted to say I love having all of yall (oh lordy Ive been in the south too long) stalk my blog regularly. I love my readers :) Melissa has decided to take a stab at the blogging thing on her own so I am setting her up with one. Once she figures out all the special details on how to post she will take over. Just wanted to let yall know that you can check here for Wilkins updates. Of course that doesn't mean I am going to stop posting my own stories and pictures. Like my husband says, I spend 90% of my time with her so they ARE my day to day lives and will be blogged about :)
