The Goofiest family around Jennie!

Sunday was the Jennie Baptist Church Homecoming service.....which means we all sing and eat a bunch. Aunt Roxy and I had a duet, which was almost a disaster, to say the least. The audio guy turned our accompaniment CD off right in the MIDDLE of our song with our mouths gaped wide open ready to belt it out!!! But since it was Jennie, and we all grew up there, it wasn't too mortifying. They just started it over and we did it again before my solo. After all that it was time TO EAT!!! Here's Angela and our crazy daddy (when he finally sat down to eat...just like his moma Mamaw Mills.....sits down AFTER everyone else has fixed their plate and started!)


Then we have a beautiful photograph here of the original Mills family (no relation to the other set of Mills' in Jennie if you can believe that??!!). I remember one other portrait of us 3 girls with our parents back when I was a junior in High School.....no spiral perm this time though!! I title this picture "The Cullhanes" cause that's what moma and daddy have always called us ever since I can remember...I can't imagine why???!!! HA!


Now I can't exactly remember too many time that me and my sisters took photos all together at once, but I insisted on it this day. It's rare that we're all 3 in Jennie church on the same Sunday. I live in Warren, Amanda lives in Monticello and Angela is still in Lake Village. So getting there all at once is a task. But it always makes my parents so darn happy that we're there!
Oh this is a good picture of my daddy AKA Honcho with his little protoge' Spenko...I did a little doodling to their picture because it's just so fitting for them! I'm sure in this photo dad was asking Spencer if he's been studying for his driver's test or if he's been scrubbing his head (long story there)....



After all the eating and visiting, we gathered back at Mamaw Skippy's house so the Roark Sisters could visit a little. Funny how when all them Roark's get together, they all try to "out-talk" each other....It turns into a loud yammering event every time! It's hard to get a word in edgewise around there!

They are seated in birth order, from right to left....Mom 1952, Aunt Teresa 1953, Aunt Debbie 1955, and the supposed accident Roxanne 1968!! Well, that's about it for my input on the Jennie Homecoming! Blog ya later!!

My son

My son
Spencer Cole Tice is 16 fixing to turn 17 on Nov. 5th. He's finally took a growth spurt and is a little taller than me now. He has been like the son my dad never had and helps out at the farm and with his cows, which dad treats like his pets or kids! HAHA

My daughter

My daughter
Caitlin Ashley Dupwe is 7 and will turn 8 on Nov. 1st. She's a 2nd grader this year. Jason and I call her "Killdee" because she's got the skinniest legs and runs so fast! She has dark curly hair, which came from my Dad's sister and daughter I guess. They are the only ones in the family with hair like that!

Across The River

Across The River
Jason K and I :) Here is the love of my life now. And he lives "across the river" in Indianola. I found him, well he actually found me, 9 months ago and it's been sweet bliss since. I know he looks unhappy in this photo. We were at his mother's and she was directing us on where to pose....need I say more?? Anyway, I love this man with all my heart.

The Parents

The Parents
Honcho and Philly in their natural form! What else can I say that this photo doesn't say?? I have the craziest and funniest dad on earth. And Moma fusses and puts up with his crazy antics. But they have been the best parents a daughter could have. Oh man, will this be me and Jason 20 years from now??? LOL

Niece

Niece
Brooklynn Nicole Santucci is 8 and will turn 9 on Nov. 13th. All 3 of my parents grandchildren were born in November!! When she was smaller, I had her with me so much that folks thought she was my kid instead of Caitlin!! She's in 3rd grade this year.

Sisters

Sisters
Angela and Amanda-the TWINS....almost 8 years my juniors. It has taken a lot of years of growing up so that we can be more "sisterly". I don't have enough space here to write all about them girls!!

Bro In Law

Bro In Law
Jared Pieroni and Angela on their Wedding Day October 20, 2007. What a wedding!! I never had a brother growing up, so having Jared in the fam is a new experience! Although I think I work with Jared more than I actually get to be a sister-in-law to him! HA
