A New Post!

Sorry Friends and Family for taking so long for updating my blog! We have a had a busy several weeks.

First off, I traveled to Michigan right after Memorial Weekend for a business meeting. The meeting was in Traverse City, MI. Traverse City is located right on Lake Michigan and it is a beautiful resort town. We stayed at the Grand Traverse resort, it was absoultely beautiful, however the majority of the trip it was raining and in the high 50's. Our "team building" activity for the trip was a dinner cruise on this sailboat called the "Tall Ship", and yes, despite the rain we still were able to go on the cruise (Horray! Just kidding..) I have posted pictures from the sailing trip.

Last week, we were able to welcome in this world, our new little neice, Payton Amber-Nicole Brantley. She was born on Monday and weighed 5lbs. 7oz. Asha had a hard delivery, but in the end Payton and her mommy made it through great. She is now the apple of all of our eyes!

Today, Steven and I were able to go visit little Payton and hold her for the very first time. I have posted some pictures of her below, but if you would like to see them all, you can visit http://picasaweb.google.com/cassieaross or http://picasasaweb.google.com/onemanlit . That is my picture page and dad's. Chris and Asha are working on posting pictures now. I will post there link when they get it set up.

Have a wonderful week! Untill, next time!

AAO Golf Tournament & New Landscaping!!

This week was a very busy one. I was involved with the Arkansas Atheletic Outreach golf tournament, in which Kellogg's is a sponsor. We had a luncheon on Wednesday where we listened to Mike Duke, Wal-Mart President & CEO. We also had golfers and passed out Kellogg's yummy snacks on Thursday & Friday, despite a massive storm that went through on Frinday Morning. Last night we attend the AAO "Par-tee". Steven and I had an absolute blast, and I even one a super-cute purse and giftcard at the silet auction.

Today we finally had a sunny day, so our landscaper friend was able to come out and help Steven redo the landscaping! Attached are pictures of what the new landscaping looks like. We are thrilled and hopefully we can get some flowers planted soon.

Tomorrow is Mother's day and off to Good Ole' Fort Smith, Arkansas....

Finally Blogging

Welcome to the Ross Family Blog. We hope to keep our family and friends updated with what is going on with our lives. I am new to the blogging world, so I guess I will learn as I go!

This is our little family, Steven, myself and our shi-poo Bo. He is a wonderful dog, and we have had a lot of fun learning all about taking care of a dog on our own. He loves his bones, toys, and meeting new people. His favorite thing is going to "school" a.k.a The Canine Connection. He has lots of friends and by the end of the day he can barely keep his eyes open.

Steven manages Summerhill Raquet Club. He is an avid tennis player and golfer. He loves hanging out with Bo, and working on the house.

I am a Customer Business Analyst for Kellogg's. I get to sell Eggo's to Wal-Mart!! It is a great company and brand to work for. I am just now taking up tennis, and it's going slowly but its fun!

We bought a house back in October, and are slowly working to fill it. We are learning new things everyday, like mowing, painting, gardening, grilling, etc. We both are having fun learning as we go.

I hope you enjoy the blog. I will try to update as we go! You can also check out all of our pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/cassieaross .
