little babies

2009-02-09T19:01:00.007-06:00

this little baby has been occupying all of my free time lately & his name is Benson (see previous posts for the x-mas morning video :)) he is a golden doodle.

here are some recent pictures...it's hard to tell here but he has doubled in size since x-mas morning! he was 3 months old on sunday. we're not really sure how big he is going to be...but he's very sweet & very mischievous

we think he'll look something like this (this was a dog we met at the park-he is also a golden doodle...)

goodnight

for tomorrow

billy

2008-10-01T18:47:00.007-05:00

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

2008-09-08T20:03:00.005-05:00

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?

2008-08-21T19:42:00.004-05:00

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")

sushi

2008-05-14T19:59:00.002-05:00

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

2008-05-08T22:10:00.002-05:00

april

2008-05-08T21:40:00.008-05:00

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...

2008-05-08T20:50:00.008-05:00

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

2008-01-20T12:12:00.001-06:00

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

2008-01-20T11:47:00.000-06:00

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...

2008-01-18T22:51:00.000-06:00

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!

one year!!

2007-09-12T17:42:00.000-05:00

we have officially passed the 1 year mark!! & we celebrated our anniversary with a long weekend in Chicago!

we "took over Chicago by land, air and sea"
(can you guess what movie that is from? and yes, my crazy husband is wearing off on me-I'm quoting movies!)
we did some serious shopping, we saw navy pier, the art institute, wrigley field, lincoln park & last but not least we did some serious eating...we tried the deep dish Pizza at a local spot & we found another old steakhouse called gene & georgetti's, we also had lunch in an old firehouse...

you'll see in the pictures...we took a "segway" tour of the city-all I can say is those machines are a little more difficult than they look..i.e. you have to wear a helmet! (we also had to wear a name tag-I guess that's so they can yell at you more quickly if you start to get out of control!) there were two different "crashes" during our tour but I didn't have anything to do with either one! it was a lot of fun...

If you'd like, click on one of the actual pictures below the flickr icon (then click on chicago set on the right side of the screen) & you can see the rest of our trip pictures...

have a good week....

(also, see if you can find the picture of Rod Stewart/Rachel Hunter & their baby :))

musical interlude

2007-09-04T21:38:00.000-05:00

back in December the Fray performed a live show at the Gibson Guitar Factory here in Nashville. Rack N Roll Audio (i.e. Rob, Jeremy, Jeff & Mike ) were asked to record their live show.

so, today the Fray released the live recording exclusively at Target! here are the links and a few pictures!!

(if you look closely you can see their names)

the fray
rack-n-roll audio clients

after the show....

The Fray also performed here in Nashvegas in July! ...very good!

the Fray will be back in Nashville sometime this fall, the plan is for Rack N Roll Audio to be consultants on the group's next project...

have a good week...

the ocoee river

2007-08-19T17:22:00.001-05:00

On Saturday, Jeremy, Megan and my Dad rafted on the Ocoee River. The river is a couple of hours from Nashville. The river is where the 1996 Olympic whitewater competition was held...
don't they look like Olympic athletes!!

Just in case you were wondering, I was not the photographer...I opted out of this one! they only rafted the upper section where the olympic competition was held (you can also raft the middle section too)

If you ever feel the need to raft this river too... they used Ocoee Adventure Center...http://www.ocoeeadventurecenter.com/

summer adventures

2007-08-18T16:52:00.000-05:00

at the beach in june...

(Jesse, Laura & sweet Tatumn decided to join us on vacation! & this was jeremy's first vacation with the bennett family!)

the boys had good luck fishing & they did a fantastic job cooking it for the rest of us!!

it was a relaxing week!

happy news!! rudy and ashley got engaged on the last night we were there! rudy popped the question during a walk on the beach after a great dinner at the famous Red Bar in Grayton Beach (if you're ever there...

crabcakes are the best! http://www.theredbar.com/)
