Sad I know.....

Ok, so yeah, I know it's sad, I haven't updated the blog since when, oh yeah August 31st. Too many things have happened since then to even remember. There's been everything from Jay's 8th Birthday, My Birthday, Chase's 20th Birthday, little Cooper Fanning's birth, Granny's 80th Birthday Surprise Party, Beach trip, Halloween, and football....lots of football! (RTR!!!)


Hopefully I'll be better about updating the blog!






It's Robin & Batgirl off to save the world!

Anna's Is Now VOCAL!!!!

I know have a VOCAL daughter!

Since she was 10moths old, Anna has had constant ear infections. In the past three months, she's not went more than 10 days without running a fever and visiting her dr. We visited Tuscaloosa Peds so much, that the receptionists knew me and Anna by first names. One even made jokes about payment plans for co-pays!

So finally, her pediatrician(s) gave us our much needed referral. Last Wednesday, we took Anna to see Dr. Rosenstiel @ Tuscaloosa ENT. After looking in her ears he said "Still fluid, you know your options." I said, "TUBES!" Dave said, "As Soon As Possible!" It was scheduled for 2 days later!

She went through the surgery great! As soon as we got home, she ate enough for me and her. Then within an hour she started jabbering. And jabbering! And jabbering! It has been non-stop! It's like we have a new child. It's amazing! I feel horrible that she had to go through all the dr's visits and shots, but so happy and blessed that she's doing so well!

2nd Grade!!!!!

Today starts Jay's 1st day of 2nd Grade! He loves his new teacher, Ms. Avery!

He was so big this morning. He didn't want me to walk him in. He said, "Mom, I'm not a little kid anymore. I'm a 2nd grader. Only Kindergarteners and 1st'ers need their Mommy's to walk them in!" And I guess I'm one of the odd Mom's, I was so glad that he's not wanting me to be right over him. He's had two horrible years at school, so I'm sooo glad that he still wants to go to school.


He didn't want me to take too many pictures today, but I did get him to agree to a few. But he wouldn't change his pose!

Hope everyone has a great 1st day of the new school year!

Can't believe it's happening!

I'm letting this sweet little thing go 630 miles... approx 10hrs away... to visit his Aunt Tetta & Uncle Way-Wayne in Pearland, TX. Not to mention he will not be back for over a week!We started talking about the trip at Christmas, then again during our Spring Break trip. Yeah, he's been camping for a few nights, but he was only at the most 2 hrs away. Not 10 hrs! He's excited but also a little nervous. This week he spent a few days home with Dad and also got to spend the day with The Fannings.

Since he is leaving late tonight with Poppa Rick & Nana, I decided to let him come with me and spend the day. Just so I can spend that extra little time with him. I love my Buggy Boo!Jay on our walk!

And he just had to have his pic made with Goldie!
Special thanks to Brittni & Vicki for being patient and putting up with my Munchkin!

I love you Buggy Boo! Have a great safe trip!

Wow really!

That's all I can say about my lack of updating my blog. Sorry! Hopefully, I will not be as bad here on out.

Since my last post we've been busy with the same schedule. Work, summer camp, and daycare Every day.


We did however manage a family beach trip a few weeks ago. Sorry, I don't have many pics downloaded yet. I know. I'm so far behind.


Thanks to Mark & Lisa for lending their house in Ft. Morgan.


And we managed a family trip to Tannehill w/ O'Pa & O'Ma. But after a long day of walking this is how it ended

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY ANNA!!!!

A year ago we patiently waited for our Memorial Day baby to get here. It's amazing how she has came from being our little bundle of joy

to being this bouncing bundle of joy(Isn't this the cutest face to wake up to every morning???)

She is our little miracle princess! We love you Little Ms. Priss!

Happy Birthday Anna!

Mother's Day!

Well first of all, Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the Mom's!

I was lucky enough to spend the day with all of the important
Mother's in my life:
My Mom, Mom-in-law, Granny, Mawmaw, & My sister.
The only thing missing from a perfect day was Dave (he had to work)

After a day with the fam, my Dad took Jay fishing for the 1st time that he can remember.
After my dad giving him lots of advice and warnings, Jay got a bit. He about fell off of the deck. Words can not describe the pride and joy on either him or my Dad's face. And it just happens to be that this was the largest fish caught.

Here's how Anna & Charlie Hayes spent most of their day. Sharing Food! It's so fun to watch them together.
