Tornadoes

I have spent almost my entire life living in Limestone County. It's normal to awaken in the middle of the night to tornado sirens or to seek cover in storm shelters or basements during bad weather. But to say "we are used to tornadoes around here," is just not a fact.
We are used to bad weather and anticipating bad weather, but tornadoes usually don't happen. In my 31 years there has NEVER been anything like this in Limestone County. I am extremely emotional about it, although I wasn't directly affected by it...people I know were, and communities that I consider part of my hometown were too.
This past week has been an emotional roller coaster for me...partly because my little girl broke her leg and partly because of all the emotion and unreal pictures from the storm that I see. I have seen several videos of the tornado that hit East Limestone, just a "stone throw" from some dear friends. I am so thankful that they are all safe. I will always remember what a horrific day April 27 was and I hope we never experience another like it. God bless our community and the many others affected.

For those of you who follow us by blog, here is what has been going on at the Lovell house. After a fun-filled morning Easter Egg hunting, we decided to head to my parent's house to jump on the trampoline and eat supper. After being there less than an house, Allie broke her leg on the trampoline.

So after spending a good chunk of the evening in the ER, we got to come home and do this. Notice the bunny has a cast too.
Then the Easter Bunny came by and dropped off some goodies.
This kite from the good ol' Easter Bunny sure has been a blessing the past couple of days.
And here's her Easter Dress...don't know when we will get to wear it...hopefully soon.
We go to the Dr. on Wednesday. Pray for good news and a super short cast wearing time.

Egg Hunt #2

Saturday morning we headed to Chris and Amanda's for some fun with the kiddos from church. There was an egg hunt and food and lots of fun.
Here's Allie racing to get eggs.

Bunny Breakfast & Egg Hunt

We attended our second annueal Bunny Breakfast in Athens Saturday. Allie had a lot of fun, although it took awhile to warm up to the Easter Bunny. This year we went with Kim and Brylee and these girls were a hoot! Finally warmed up.

Here we are about to get into a fight about who is going to find the most eggs.

Checking out the loot.

Busy...

I know, I know I have been neglecting this blog for a while now...but I have been busy. Back in October, Matt and I began taking classes to become Real Estate Agents. He got his license back in November and I was a little behind him and just recently took and passed my test. We both joined AAA Realty and will hopefully start selling houses soon. This real estate endeavor is in addition to the business we already do so I am expecting and hopeful that we will be busy. If you are interested in buying or selling a house, call 256.614.2157. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Tashia Wales Lovell

Allie's 3rd Birthday Party

I have had a case of the "bloggin' blues" over the winter months but hopefully with the warm temperatures ahead and fun stuff to do, the posts will become more frequent.
Last month we celebrated Allie's 3rd birthday with a party at Onyx gym. Lots of kids and Lots of fun!
Here's Allie in her Ariel shirt...the theme of the party.
