billy

we have a little bragging to do...check out this trailer (see link below)



http://www.billytheearlyyears.com/home.htm

one of jeremy's long time friends, scott brasher, composed the score for the new movie Billy: the early years!!! scott is a very talented composer and has a wonderful family...they have taken care of jeremy for a long time and have welcomed me into their lives too! i always have fond memories of scott's music...he gave us several songs that he'd composed to use in our wedding ceremony...
the world premerie of the movie is tomorrow night (for nashville folks the premerie is open to the public as a fund raiser for the Nashville Film Festival)...the movie opens in limited release next weekend and then everywhere soon after that!
congratulations scott!!

the delicious library

for fellow book nerds like me :)
look at this!

http://www.delicious-monster.com

you can download the program (for Macs right now...I think the cost is
~ $40) and then all you do is hold up the barcode of your books to
your webcam & it logs your books into your own digital library...!
and the best part is you actually see your books on a "virtual shelf"click on the first picture to see an example...

have a good day!

do you bosu?

we tried something new...bosu class tonight at our Y...it was pretty challenging & a really good workout!



the entire 30 mins is set up around exercises on the bosu ball & (for those of you like myself who are not up on your exercise terminology...bosu stands for "both sides up")

rosemary

here are some pic's from our week at the beach...
















happy 10 years erik & sarah!!



always wish we could stay 2 weeks...

the luckiest girl

sometimes you hear people talk about christmas in july...

read beatrice's story on the ny times link below and think about celebrating an extra holiday this july with a very special gift!

"the luckiest girl"





here's one more link to see :)
heifer's gift catalog

hope you had a happy & relaxing fourth of july weekend!

tweedles shoes

my sister-in-law's sister :) and one of her friends are starting and growing a new business....they are making baby shoes!

they are really neat....they have a lot of different color choices & styles!!

just click on either picture & it will direct you to their website





they have little boy shoes too :)

have a good weekend!

sushi

there's a small restaurant in a little strip mall in brentwood close to our house... it's called peter's sushi-thai-it's really good!

we ate there tonight & sat about 2 feet away from nicole kidman and keith urban~i was impressed :) sorry no pictures!

my two observations: nicole kidman is very tall & i didn't think you were supposed to eat sushi when you are pregnant??
goodnight!

smarty pants

jeremy finished finals last week...another semester done & he made the dean's list! yeah! have a good weekend!
i'll try to not have such a long absence next time...

april

jeremy and i took a road trip in april...we went to charleston for a long weekend and a friend's wedding...we were able to see several friends and explore charleston and folley beach...

along rainbow row...




my new friend chloe...



and more weddings...this time we were with brian & lauren (lauren's brother was the one who was getting married :))



folley beach is not the same as our usual beach but it's very pretty too in it's own way...i was a little disappointed that we didn't get to walk to the lighthouse this time
(ashley...it was a lot cooler in april than when we walked to it that july!!)

catching up...

i have no good excuse for the long absence...

we celebrated riley and emma's birthdays at the end of february and beginning of march with the family...
we played a lot of guitar hero and finished the day with laser tag!!










the weekend after easter we celebrated riley's baptism...it was a very special weekend!!

half birthdays

we celebrate half birthdays! i can't really remember when we started that but it's fun...especially when you are celebrating 29 & a 1/2! which we did last weekend!!

we start with ashley's birthday/half birthday on 7/12 & 1/12...then mine on 7/15 & 1/15...and last is sara's on 7/19 & 1/19...we like to think about them as "week long celebrations"

fyi...there will be an official trip/vacation to mark 30 & a 1/2 :)

have a great week!

the family

i thought everyone might enjoy seeing our "official" ramsey family photo this year...it was quite an ordeal over thanksgiving to get this pulled off...this is one of the few that were ok to post!

(for those of you who don't already know the ramseys...L to R.. erik (jeremy's brother) & sarah (his wife), rik (jeremy's dad aka "daddy rik"), nancy (jeremy's mom aka "nanny") then jeremy & I & riley and emma are in front...trying their best to smile normally-that turned out to be quite difficult!)




here's a few more :)

lots to catch up on...

it's been a while since i've had time to sit down and work on a post, jeremy has now started back to school full time and i'm working and everything just gets busy so fast! but here's a quick update...
it seems like the holidays flew by this year...we spent almost a week in Memphis with both of our families! It was great to see everyone and play...nothing too exciting just the usual craziness... :)





if you can imagine-riley & emma kept us all quite entertained!



we got to spend new years' with our good friends the Partins! here's the group...Brian & Lauren have two sweet, sweet girls, Sidney & Ella!
