Santa Photo

My mom took the boys to have their picture made with Santa and I am so pleased with it! They are all looking at the camera!

Kid free night...

Last night we had our Sunday School Christmas party and it was an adult only party. Cole was going to the Titan's game with Nana on Sunday so he stayed over there and Reed and Cooper went to my parents to get nice and dirty on the farm :). Ryan and I enjoyed ourselves very much. It was so nice to have a quiet dinner and conversation with grown ups. I do miss my little fellas but once in a while its nice to have peace and quiet. Thanks Meme!!

Thanksgiving

I hosted my first Thanksgiving this year. My parents, my sister and her family, my in-laws and my grandmother all came. It was more of a pot luck type meal as I only made the dressing and a few casseroles. We had loads of food and fun. The day was absolutely beautiful so all the boys could play outside, all in all it was a wonderful day and I can't wait to host again next year.

last one tonight

Last week my baby turned 10! I can't believe it has been ten years since this precious boy came into my life. I truly seems like yesterday that I was pregnant with Cole. He is the sweetest most loving child and I am blessed to be his mother. I love you Cole I can't wait to see what your next 10 years have in store....

Halloween

Okay so my posts are a little behind but I have to catch up lol... We had two batmen and one robin. Cole wouldn't let me get his pic that night. We had alot of fun visiting our Halloween friends. Reed went to the Senior Citizens center that day to play games and get candy of course. He had a wonderful time entertaining some new friends. As you can see Cooper wasn't so sure of his mask but otherwise had a great day...

sorry it has been so long...

Well its been a while but life happens. The boys are all doing well. We have all been enjoying watching the Titans this year. Ryan went to the Monday night game against Indy so the boys and I had our own Monday Night Football party at home. Of course they wouldn't all look at the camera at the same time but this was the best I could do.

just one good pic

So the other day I tortured the boys and made them sit still and take a few pics. I was trying to get just one good pic of them together. Forty pics later we still didn't have a good one but thought you all might want to see our attempts...

Picnic

We all went to my company picnic today. Boy did we have fun!!! There was lots of good food and lots of things for the kids to play with. Reed spent most of the day playing in jumping toys, Cole climbed a rock wall and Cooper spent most of the day flirting with the ladies lol... I actually won a door prize!!! We won tickets to the Grand Ole Opry for September 27th, just so happen that is the night Keith Urban is playing! Can you tell I am super excited about it! Ryan and I will get a date night... Cole and I had our pic made in a photo booth, that was fun too. Don't we look cute...

Fun at Papa and Nana's

Earlier this week Reed asked his Nana if he could come to "hers house all by myself?" So Reed spent all day at his Papa and Nana's all by himself. Cooper and I went to pick him up this afternoon and the boys had fun play driving the gator and the 4-wheeler...

Family Photo

Recently we had photos made after church, I think they turned out pretty well!

It's that time again

Every fall I become what you call a "football widow" and it has come that time again. The big game is on tonight but he has been watching all weekend. So Cooper and I had some fun...

Hookem Horns!!!!

Those are for you MeMe!!

I tried to get him to wear the "right" hat

No more braces!!

Cole got his braces off today! He was so happy. Initially he was only supposed to wear them for a year well a year and a half later he finally got them off. He goes back in about a month for the permanent retainer. I think he looks even more grown up...

Is he Bob or Spiderman??

I lost my cookie!!!!!!

Help me find it mom...

Newest member of the family

Well last week Ryan and Cole came home from Wal-mart with him. His name is Max. He is about 8 weeks old. All the boys adore him and he is actually very gentle for all the torture he must endure...

Braves Game

The Braves game was so fun! We all had a great time until the fireworks. We happened to be sitting really close to where they shot them off and it was all to much for Reed. Meme had to hold the poor fella and hold her hands over his ears. He was really glad when they ended...

The boys and MeMe

Ryan and the boys

Happy 4th of July

Hope you all have a great day! My mom, Ryan, Cole, Reed and I are off to Atlanta for a Braves game. Cooper is staying home(thanks Nana). I will update with pics when we return...

My mom

I have the best mother in the world. She works a very stressful job and routinely works 80+ hours a week but next week she is taking a week of vacation and guess how she is spending it.... Taking care of my two younger boys. My daycare is closed and neither Ryan or I could get off next week. I am so sure she would love to be going some place warm and tropical but instead she is going to spend a week playing Meme with two boys that love and adore her. Thanks mom!!! I may not say it enough but I love you and appreciate you very much....

Vacation

Last week we were on vacation and spent a few days in Amelia Island, FL. We went with Ryan's parents Nana and Poppa for those of you that don't know. We all had a really good time. Cooper wasn't so sure about the beach or the pool at first but eventually warmed up to both.

Oh what a beautiful day...

We had beautiful weather here today. After church Ryan and the boys played outside almost all afternoon . It was so nice I actually caught up on the laundry with out any "helpers". They played with waterguns, swung on the swingset and just had an all around great boy day. Cooper was even outside with no shirt(the Redneck at only 16 months).

Well I did it

Started a blog that is. I will do my best to update but life with 3 boys sometimes puts a kink in best laid plans!
