Highs and Lows...

Sometimes life just doesnt turn out as you "plan." There are not always sunny and rosie days! This weekend was kind of like that for us......but we still had a good weekend and any situation could always always be worse!
'There is always always something to be thankful for.'
We started the weekend off with rain! RAIN just seems to come ALL the time nowadays! So it came a really bad thunderstorm Friday afternoon and into the night. It rained so much that several areas were flooded. Our side yard was flooded and gushing with water! I have never seen it so full and gushing the way it was. So Saturday plans of Alexis' t~ball was cancelled....again....because of it. So, we had a lazy day at home. I cleaned house....and was disgusting so right just about the time that I was going to get a shower......our power went out! It was out until 9:00pm! So that put a damper on our day...so we decided to get out of the house for a little while so Tyler went and bought a generator so the next time we will be prepared! :)
And then this morning..............OH this morning!
This morning was something that I hope never happens again!
I awoke this morning {before the sun was even up} at 5:00 am to Alexis screaming and crying "MOMMY!!" with the most horrific....scared...hurt scream I have ever heard! I darted straight up in bed and just went into shock mode! I took off running to her room and cut her overhead light on to see her sitting up in bed holding her face. At first I didnt see anything so I had no idea why she was screaming the way she was.........until she moved her hands.
OH MY GOODNESS! Blood was everywhere! It was gushing out of her nose and all in her mouth. She kept coughing it up and spitting it out and the more she cried...the more in gushed out of her nose. I about lost it...but I knew I had to stay calm for her because she just can not handle blood! She flips out every time she sees blood {even if it is a small amount!} She will never be a nurse or doctor!...which is okay, because some people are just not cut out for that.............and she is one of those people!
So I scream for Tyler to come in there and I grab her up and take her into the bathroom. I couldnt get it to stop....and there was so much and she was screaming and shaking. It was horrible to say the least!
At one point she looks up at me and says "Mommy, I dont know what to do!" I looked at her pitiful sad eyes and told her that she didnt have to do anything...that Mommy and Daddy were going to do everything and she just needed to stop crying and calm down.  That seemed to help her because she finally starting relaxing and calming down.
After.........I dont know how long......I got it to stop bleeding and so I got her clothes off and put her in the bathtub. She got a nice warm bath which helped her to feel better and her nose to stop bleeding. Tyler and I got everything cleaned up. {Luckily...with no stains anywhere} AND thankfully her nose........or any other part of her body wasnt broken!
I asked her what happened...and she said she decided she wanted to jump on her bed when she woke up and she tripped and hit her nose on her bed post. OH ME!
{I just wished I felt like jumping on my bed when I wake up in the mornings!........I have to drag myself up! OH the energy that she has! :) }
Needless to say, we had the little talk about how Mommy and Daddy tell you not to do things for a reason...........so things like this wont happen. I know she heard my "speech"............and judging by her reaction......I think it MIGHT have sunk in?!? {hopefully it sunk in a little bit at least!}
Years from now when she is reading this post {if she ever does}....I hope she has learned from this lesson! :)

Once we finally got over that incident....we all got ready and Tyler and I headed to the Braves game! Well, we get to Georgia and it is storming really bad and somehow got cold......so we decided to do some shopping and hit a movie instead of going to the game. We were glad we didnt go because the Braves game ended up having a long rain delay!
Alexis enjoyed the day with Gran as well as going to her friend Nick's birthday party.....and Lily spent the day with Nan and Pawpaw while we were gone!
Even though the weekend didnt go as we had originally hoped/planned it would.....as well as having the horrible experience with Alexis.........we are all home right now and two little girls are tucked snugly and warm in their beds asleep and safe! That is all that really matters to me! :)

There is nothing better than having a morning snuggle with this sweet girl!

Oh my sweet...Alexis....
I took this picture of her with the paper in her nose to keep it from not bleeding. Right after I took it....she goes "Mommy, you better not laugh at that picture of me!" :)
Then  later on I told her that she could take the paper out before going to Nick's birthday party. And she goes "Okay Mommy, yeah I need to take it out so Nick will know who I am at his party!" Tyler and I just busted out laughing! :)
Then tonight when she was saying her prayers...........at the end before she said Amen, she goes "And Jesus, please dont let me jump on my bed anymore!"       She is sooo funny! :)

Lily thought she needed make~up on too while she was getting ready to go to Nan and Pawpaw's! :)

My beautiful girl! :)

Prayers for sweet Thompson Nash Wagoner

There is the most adorably adorable sweet 6 month old baby named Thompson Nash that has been diagnosed with Cancer behind his eyes. His family and him are currently in Memphis, Tennessee at St. Jude Hospital undergoing Chemo and tests.
They have almost completed round one of Chemo and then the doctors will be doing tests to see what the Chemo has done to the tumors to decide when round 2 will start. {Hopefully the tumors have shrunk}
He has an "unknown" amount of tumors in the back of his eyes. His left eye is worse and they are hoping that they do not have to have it removed. They are thinking...right now...that his right eye will be saved because it is not as bad on that side.
I read daily about his progress and his lows. It makes my stomach ache to see the sweet pictures they show of him still smiling even though he is in so much pain and doesnt want to eat. He has been so brave and strong! I cant even imagine what Duff and Missy are going through especially with Thompson not being able to talk to them about what hurts...or what is making him upset because he is so young. On top of that their oldest son is still in Alabama because he is in school. So they are away from him....and he needs and misses his Mommy and Daddy too.
The community has reached out to this sweet family in such an amazing and huge way by fund raisers, donations, and prayers! There are soooo many prayers going out for him and his family! Please pray for this sweet baby. Pray for his Mommy and Daddy and his older brother Sam Parker too. Cancer will not win!

Sweet baby! He was given these glasses from his doctor because his vision was already bad because of the tumors...but with the Chemo too, he now really needs them!

Thompson Nash wearing his "Team Thompson" shirt..............that they have sold TONS of! I have seen these shirts a lot throughout the community and it makes me smile to see all of the support for him! I still need to get some!

Finally the end of the week

This is the first day of the week that we didnt have anything going on.....and usually on Friday is THE day to do something!
T~ball practice was moved to Monday night which worked out because we thought we were going to have to miss since Alexis' graduation was Tuesday.
Wednesday Alexis had her last night of Awanas! She got her end of the season certificate! She has done so well and has really enjoyed going to it. She is going to miss it over the summer but maybe we can be at the community center pool now instead so that should make up for it! :)

Thursday we went with Daddy while he hit some golf balls! In the next couple of weeks starts his work Golf games that he has decided to play!

A very sweet moment happened while us girls were watching him hit balls. Lily and Alexis decided they wanted  to pick flowers {which was actually weeds} {but nonetheless} for me! Well...for whatever reason, I have no idea why....Lily passed two "batches" of the flowers {weeds} and kept going to this one spot that was far away. She would ran as fast as her little legs would let her {which if you havent seen Lily run...you are missing out!!...it is for sure very funny and adorable!} to get the flowers. Then she would run back {with a couple of getting tripped up and falling involved...she would pop herself right back up and not miss a beat!} to me and hand me the flowers! She would look up at me with the most precious expression on her face of "Mommy, I worked so hard to pick these for you!" Then she would turn around and run back to get more! Each time she would come running up to me she would be huffing and puffing! It was one of those things that I guess you would just have to be there to understand how she was.......but it melted my heart for sure! You just never know where some of your most precious memories/moments could come from! :)
So, now it is the weekend...and since we have been going ....going...tonight is niiiice to just sit still and relax!

This was the type of flower the girls were picking for me! :) Now every time I see these in the grass, I can smile and think of sweet Lily!

Throwback Thursday~Alexis' first day of Preschool!

So...in honor of my little girl graduating!............this Throwback Thursday is
"For a look back in time" at Alexis' very first day of Preschool!

The day was October 8, 2008!

She was just over 3 months old when she started Preschool for the first time at Bright Horizons in Birmingham. It was a really great daycare. It was a "benefit" of my job for her to be able to go there. It was only open for my company's children. Though.....she did get several "love bites" as they called them and scratched pretty good by a fellow friend..overall she had a really great experience there!

We were really sad to leave her sweet friends and teachers when we decided to move her closer to our house when I had a job transfer to the other building on 280. We tried her at Cahaba Valley Learning Center for about a month....and she HATED it!.........I hated it too! It just was not a good "fit" for Alexis to roam and learn. She would cry nearly every morning when I dropped her off...{and Alexis never clings and cries...she usually is so happy to go off and do things!}....and so it broke my heart every time! So, I finally said enough with there and Tyler and I decided to transfer her to The Goddard School.
 It was a good bit more expensive and of course Tyler and I wondered how we could fit it in our budget....but it was SO worth it! I learned a very valuable lesson.....that it doesnt matter how much it cost, your child should always be happy when they have to stay at a place all day...everyday! So she transferred there when she was 2 and LOVED it! The teachers were all so nice and she made sooo many friends! {You should have seen how many friends she had at her 2nd birthday party!}...it was so cute!
When Tyler found out he got his new job at JSU we were faced with moving and finding a new school for Alexis to go to. Lily was just a baby so for her adjusting wasnt going to be as bad as Alexis. I was sooo worried that we would not be able to find a place where Alexis loved and learned as much as Goddard. Well, when we finally made the move to Jacksonville...we visited several schools and found Wee Care at First Baptist Church of Jacksonville! She has been there ever since our move! She has loved it there. She has learned so much about the Bible, and Jesus too. She will miss there when she leaves for Kindergarten....but dont worry....she is SO excited about "big" school!

I will NEVER forget this picture! I took this picture right before we walked out the door to go to Preschool for the first day! I remember thinking....'oh look, she is smiling at me...I want to stay here with her all day and not go to work!' I SO hoped that she would have a great first day.....and her teachers said she did! :)

This was the very next day! Her second day of going to school! Look at those chubby cheeks!! :)

Wordless Wednesday!

My Little Graduate!

{Insert tears here} {A lot of tears} My little girl has had her "first graduation"! She has officially graduated from preschool! I distinctly remember when Alexis was a baby...Tyler and I talking about her future--as far as where she might go to school etc...---and I remember thinking OH we have 5 years until then, that is so far away!
Well, I can not even believe that it is actually here! That time has come! Though she is just starting Kindergarten coming up, she will be entering a "whole new world"...the "real world"....and she is SO ready! She is SO excited!! The question is....am I ready!?............ :)

Alexis loves her teachers! Mrs. Annette and Mrs. Beth. They have been so sweet to her!

The theme was "Superhero Graduation Party" It was decorated really cute and they served a great meal of either Spaghetti or Chicken Alfredo with Salad and rolls! Gran, Aunt Pam, Brandi, Pawpaw and Nan joined us! We had a really fun time!

Alexis was so excited to get her "Diploma!"

Alexis and some of her other graduating friends!

Avagail and Alexis! Really great friends!

As Daddy calls her....The "Caped Butterfly Bandit!"...........she is flying away! Up Up and away she goes! :)

This is what her "Diploma" said.... {insert more tears here}

And of course Lily enjoyed the end of the year party too! It was for her too! :)

Lily and Cade! She loves Cade! He is such a cutie!! :) They play so well together! Lily misses him though because she moved to the 2 yr old class and Cade is still in the other room! 

Lily making her cape!

This is SUCH a cute video! They called each "graduate" up and said something about them and then gave them their "Diploma!" I didnt get my camera on quick enough to record the beginning of what Mrs. Annette was saying about Alexis ........so I will "recap" it...and also in case you can not hear what all she is saying about her too!
She started off by calling Alexis' name! Then Mrs. Annette said that all the teachers call Alexis their "hummingbird!"....because she is always singing...humming..and dancing! {which is SO true!!} She said Alexis is just so sweet and caring! She then said that Alexis LOVES to color. That she can color for hours and that she is so good at it also! Then Mrs. Annette said everyone is going to miss her singing and dancing! :)

20 months and growing!.....

Miss Lily. What can I say, she is 20 months today and going on 25 years old! She has just bloomed over this past month in every aspect! She is her own little person who is strong, determined, smart, silly, loving and beautiful! She is gaining weight because she can eat a house at every meal! :).....but as far as height....she hasnt gotten much taller. {She for sure is going to be short like me :) ...unless some magic growth spurt happens...which it might!}
Her most favorite thing to do is wear other people's shoes still! Mainly Alexis' shoes!
She has started saying pretty much everything at this point! If you ask her to repeat something....she normally does with pretty good clarity!
She is still obsessed with her paci...in fact...I think she has gotten worse with it despite me trying to break her from it! Just today, Tyler put her down from bringing her in from school. As soon as he let her down she took off running. Well, I wondered where she was going so I followed her. Well, she headed straight to her room and got her paci from her crib! Again...once she gets it she will NOT let it go! Working on breaking her of it has been tough!
Her school went ahead and moved her to the 2 year old class even though she has several months until she is 2 because they said that she is just too bored in the "baby" room. One thing is for sure...she is not a baby anymore. In fact, Tyler says {messing with her} "Lily you're a baby"...and everytime she says "no!" Then he will say "Yes, your are a baby Lily"..and she will say "No, Dop!!" {Dop...means Stop!} ha!
Oh.....my little girls are becoming less and less little girls! Happy 20 months Lily! :)

Roughing it and Mother's Day!

Roughing it?! Is that what Tyler and I did this weekend when we went camping?! Well...for us to be "roughing" it out in the woods with a tent and no running water or a toilet, I have to say we were in a "5 star resort" of a camping spot! :)
Tyler and I loaded up Saturday morning and headed to Piedmont to camp out! We didnt care that there was a 50% chance of rain! We were determined/excited to go especially since it got rained out the weekend before! You should have seen Tyler's truck loaded down with everything.under.the.sun! Tyler thought of EVERYTHING for our one night trip! I have to say, I was VERY impressed! :) We had such a great time together out in the middle of no where! We neither one had a watch or anything...so we didnt even know what the time was all day yesterday!........it was sooo nice! I really love how Tyler and I enjoy spending time together. We really do just have a great time together no matter where we are! I am very thankful to have a husband that I can relax and know that he knows how to handle things and get things done! I feel very safe when he is around! :) We had a nice relaxing time together!
With it being Mother's Day today, it was a great one! We enjoyed our day with both Nan and Gran to make Mother's Day complete.
Alexis never ceases to crack me up! She asked me if I had a great Mother's Day? And...I said yes, I sure did! And she goes....well "Mommy, when is it going to be kid day? since you have had your Mommy's day?" I had to inform her that everyday is "kid's Day!" :)
I am sooo very blessed to know that God chose me to be Lily and Alexis' Mommy! I dont know what I have done to deserve these two most beautiful little girls, but I am so thankful! I always "thought" I knew what being a Mommy was about--when I didnt have kids---but now that I am, my world has changed! Some days--well most days---I feel I have no clue what I am doing-- but just having them lay their head on my shoulder or seeing them smile makes me think that I may be doing something right! They wear me out and make me laugh more than anything I have ever been faced with! I can not wait to keep being their Mommy and watching them grow into beautiful Moms one day themselves! :)

Alexis' first "battle wound!!" She had her first "boo-boo" at her T~ball game Friday night! Alexis played so well Friday! She hit the ball good every time and even hustled to get the ball when it was hit to her. {Even though the ball went right through her legs one time!} ha! You would think that the cut on her nose was from her playing so good during the game! Well....it is actually from her turning her hat all the way around her head..{being silly}...and a little boy {Hudson}on her team started doing that too....while the game was going on....and then he decided to take his hat off and throw it. Well, guess where the hat went?! It scrapped her nose! Go figure right! :)
----but if anybody asks her what happened to her nose-----she was really diving really hard to catch a line drive that was coming at her and she cut her nose somehow as she dove and caught the ball! ;)

Welcome to The Hotel Grand Camping Resort! Welcome...welcome! :)
We had such a great time! Our tent was really spacious! It rained on us for about 30 minutes...but have no fear, at the five star camping resort....we watched a movie on Tyler's computer while it rained! The rain stopped and it was a beautiful afternoon/night after that! I got a little chilly during the night, but never cold!

Tyler is setting up the Scrabble board! Yep, we played Scrabble! Tyler and I have always enjoyed playing this against each other--even in College! I am really....REALLY bad at Scrabble, but I like to play him! We HAVE to carry around a Dictionary where ever we take Scrabble because we are constantly challenging each other!! :)

We shot "Turkey!!" I never got the bullseye...but Tyler did! I am proud I at least hit the box! And....this out here was also the "toilet" too! Yeah.....it was 5 star....but no toilet! :)

I had to take a picture of this! Tyler's Turkey CRACKS me up! ha! We went over to another part of the land later on and sat in a blind to see some real Turkies. We didnt see any, but we did see alot of Dove. Tyler and I shot a couple of birds!

We enjoyed a 5 star dinner for sure! Tyler cooked us some steaks {which were SO good!} and we had potato salad and baked beans! He even cooked us some scrambled eggs and sausage for breakfast! Again....he thought.of.everything!!

Big News and Sneak peeks!

I dont think I have sat down all week thus far! We have been going and going!
Tuesday was a BIG day in Jacksonville. I was really torn on who to cheer for because Auburn came to play JSU in baseball! I really never thought Auburn and JSU would play each other.....just because Auburn is a much bigger college, but they did! Tyler and I enjoyed a small "date" night watching JSU pretty much dominate the whole game! I ended up leaving early because Gran was watching the girls so I needed to get home...on top of the fact that it was FREEZING at the game! It is MAY....MAY and still cold outside! I just cant get over it! My feet were frozen at the game! I found myself cheering for the gamecocks over Auburn. {even though I do LOVE my Auburn Tigers!!} When I left the game JSU was beating Auburn 6 to 0. Well, Tyler told me that by the end of the game Auburn came back and won! So I have to say, Auburn won {which I am happy for} but it is BIG news for JSU to play so hard against a much bigger college!

Now onto bigger news of the week! Alexis had her mini ballet recital {practice} and got her ballet costume! Tyler got to enjoy watching Alexis preform her recital ballet routine at her school. I didnt get to go because I had to work! :( Daddy said she did SO good amidst the chaos of "dancing" :) I cant wait to see my cute little ladybug at her recital!

And MORE big news! Alexis had her T~ball pictures today! It was SO hot outside! {Isnt it crazy that one day/night it is freezing....and then a day or so later I sweat to death outside!!}....anyways my little girly girl t~baller was sooo cute with her team!

And now the biggest news of the week......Tyler and I decided that starting in June, Alexis will be doing the summer camp at the Jacksonville Community Center and Lily is going to move to a new daycare at the United Methodist Church. We are sad we are leaving Wee Care because we love there...but we are excited about the new change! Stay tuned for our new adventures at our new places!.......
Well, tomorrow is Friday! Whoo~hoo!! Alexis has a t~ball game tomorrow  night....and then this weekend is Tyler and my camping trip! I am doing another rain dance so that it doesnt rain! :)

Sneak  peek of Alexis in her ballet costume! A little ladybug! She is SO proud of her Dance medal she received! She has worn it everyday since she has gotten it!

Beautiful little ladybug!

Miss T~ball girl! :)

The Struts Team!

And just because I have posted alot of pictures of Alexis, I thought I would throw one in of my other child! :) ......to prove I do have another cute little girl! :)

Wordless Wednesday~scrub a dub dub!

In the Eyes

As I watch Alexis grow right before my very eyes....I am amazed daily at how much she understands things that I think she wouldnt have a clue about but then also on the other hand how she is still so naive and gullible too!
Seeing the world through someone else's eyes is a tough thing to do. To put yourself "in their shoes" during situations can be hard...especially for me to do sometimes. I need to work more on seeing the other person's perspective on issues...just for my personal gain....just to better myself, especially to hopefully be a better Mom to my girls.
 I hope Alexis and Lily will see someday how I am trying to understand their problems and situations that are just the "end of the world" for them! {at that certain time period in their life!}
 I know every child has said at one point in time to their parents that they "just dont understand!!" Well.....I hope that I can "see through their eyes"...and can offer some sort of understanding and advice when that time ever comes that their situation is just the "end of the world." :)

Two funny stories about Alexis this week where seeing "in the eyes" of an almost 5 year old.....is pretty funny!

{A little back story first} Alexis has "liked" this little boy name Colton for awhile now at her school. She has said that he is her "boyfriend!" He is a year older than her and in Kindergarten already, but he does the after school care so he is at Alexis' school in the afternoons.
Well, Friday when we were leaving the school....Colton was outside playing with the other after school care kids. Alexis was walking beside me and I tell her that she needs to tell Colton bye....and to have a good weekend. Well, as soon as I say his name she gets so flustered and embarrassed looking and starts running to my car. So when I get in the car I ask her why she acted that way. Well...she tells me "just because Mommy." So, again I ask her and tell her that she can tell me anything.
So, she says..."Well, Mommy.....the other day I decided that I dont want to marry him anymore!!" WHAT?!? :) {Oh, the drama and "love" life of a 5 year old!} ha!
So I ask her why she has decided this...and even if she has decided to not "marry" him anymore that it doesnt mean she cant be nice to him and still tell him bye when she sees him!
She goes..."Well Mommy, I just think he is bigger than me {meaning older than her} and so I dont want to anymore."
So explaining to her about how she has a long time until she needs to worry about marriage...and how she needs to be nice to boys like Colton and that it is okay though if she likes someone who is "bigger" {older} than her..I think she will now be "more comfortable" facing Colton from now on! :)
So....in the eyes of a 5 year old....this was a BIG deal, but I cant wait for her to read this post years from now and realize how "way back when" she thought "love" was difficult when she was 5! :)

And this morning she woke up before I left for work. I was putting on my work clothes and Alexis says to me......."Mommy, why do you always wear pants to work?" And so I ask her what she thinks I should wear to work and she says "You should wear shorts." I then explain to her how I am not allowed to wear shorts to my work. And she looks at me with this face like she knows exactly what she is talking about and says {as a matter of factly}..."Oh, because they will think you are wearing your bathing suit under your shorts and you will get in trouble!" ha!.................yep! So right! :)
And yet again...........in the eyes of a 5 year old this is true for the most part because she wears shorts over her bathing suits!..............but one day...OH one day, she will be in the corporate/business world and see how shorts just wont suffice! {I wish though! :) }
***On a side~note...........is it Winter~time or Spring/Summer time around here? I am just so confused...with it being almost the middle of May and it is 54 degrees outside! CRAZY!

Laid back kind of life...

Well...the rain did come like I thought it would. We had to cancel pretty much all of our plans for the weekend, BUT we still had a great weekend though! Alexis' tee~ball game was cancelled on Saturday as well as our camping trip....so we relaxed at home before heading to Oxford to do some shopping and then we met everybody for a surprise birthday dinner for Hogan. We enjoyed eating at Outback and catching up with Hogan's side of the family as well as our side.
Today was a little bit warmer...and only rained a little bit compared to yesterday! We tried out a new church this morning...First Baptist Church of the Williams. We really enjoyed it, but we will have to try it again because the preacher didnt preach today. I am really hoping we like the preacher because everything else felt like a place that we could really grow as a family if we join there. So...we shall see. I am really hoping we find a place because I am really wanting to join a church soon because we have been searching for awhile now. I really want to get our family settled into a church family! We had a great lunch with Nan, Pawpaw and Brandi before heading home for the long needed Sunday afternoon naps! We have had a laid back kind of weekend!
Now....onto the week to come! We are into the first week of May and I have to say..May is lookin' good! :)

My girls LOVE the mannequins at Old Navy! If you look at past posts...you will see several pictures of them with the mannequins! BUT....oh BUT...Lily tried her hardest to get out of my arms to run to this dog! She is obcessed to say the least with dogs...and she just fell in love with this one! She didnt want to leave it! She even tried to get on it and ride it like a horse! 

Happy birthday to Hogan! We had TWO cakes!! And...Alexis was just loving to make silly faces in the pictures! :)

Love this little sassy girl!

And this one too!.... :)

Splish Splash!

Well.....it is Friday! OH YEAH! :) We have had a great week at the Law house! We have had our regular groove of events.....that I love {I must add} :)
Alexis had tee~ball practice and Awanas again this week. She only has two weeks left of Awanas since Summer break is about to be here!

This week's bible verse that Alexis had to quote was

'Lord, teach us to pray' Luke 11:1

She has done SO good saying her verses each week! She is one of the only ones in her class that knows them each week. She received another patch on her vest after quoting this week's verse!

On Tuesday while I was cooking dinner....Lily and Alexis were being So good playing in the playroom. Well...then I heard the toilet lid slam and thought I should go check on that. So....I headed into the bathroom to see what was going on....AND there was Lily!! She was SOAKED from head to toe because she was playing in the toilet water! Not to mention everything else was soaked! Needless to say I was in a state of shock! :) She looks up and sees the look on my face...and says "poo poo!" ha! So needless to say...she knows what she is playing in is for! I guess it could be a good time to start potty~training since she is all about the toilet now! :)
This was the official last week of Turkey season for Daddy! It has been a rough season for him with not getting a Turkey........until the VERY last day of the season, he GOT one!  Tuesday was a great day for Daddy! :) He fried up {in his new favorite "toy"..his fryer} the turkey breast {because he knew us girls would not be eating it} and went to Hardees and bought biscuits and then took turkey biscuits to his friends at work! I think he got alot of "brownie" points with them! :)
We are looking forward yet again to the weekend! It is supposed to rain again this weekend..but I think we are not going to be so lucky to miss the rain like we did last weekend! Tyler and I were supposed to go camping together...out in the woods...no toilet....no running water, up at the land in Piedmont. {in a tent...out in the middle of nowhere} Since it is supposed to rain, we are having to postpone it to next weekend. :(  So you will have to stay tuned to see how that turns out! {I know you are on the edge of your seat} :)

Lily's class had "Zoo week" at school! Here is her class and some of the animals from the "zoo"!

The girls LOVE coloring! That is both of their favorite things to do. It is soooo soooo soooo cute watching them be together!

Alexis LOVES her new sandals that Nan dropped off! .................goodness I wish they were in my size! I just might try and squeeze my feet in them! :)

Throwback Thursday! ~ 10 year reunion!

Well....it is that time. JSU has already graduated!.............the rest of the colleges and high schools are coming up soon! Summer is rounding the corner! WHOO HOO!! In honor of all the graduations coming up I thought for a "Look back in time" should be mine and Tyler's 10 year reunion!
Tyler and I both graduated from Saks High on May of 2000! We were in the same graduating class!
It is hard to believe how fast time has flown that our 10 year reunion has already come and gone! I remember thinking that everybody there was going to be so surprised that Tyler and I were married! {who didnt already know}.....since we didnt date in high school!
We had a great reunion! We met on a Friday night before a home football game and enjoyed some snacks and drinks before we headed over to the game! We were introduced out on the field during half~time! Talk about a rush of old memories that came flooding back while I was there! All of the cheer leading practices, football games on that field! It was so nice to sit with everybody who came during the game and catch up with them!
Saturday afternoon we met back at the little community center for a very nice dinner and more catching up! There were more people that were able to come Saturday, so it was nice to see everybody!

The year was 2010 ~ our 10 year high school reunion!

All of the girls are sooo special to me! We go WAY back when with each other! :)
