Last Days of Summer Break

Last week we were anxious for school to start back, running many errands and such. But we still made time to hit the pool a few last times!

Vacation 2008

I forgot to post these pictures a while back. These are from our vacation this year.

Look Who is Walking Everywhere!

For the past 2 weeks Jaxson has been walking everywhere!
He is so quick! This age is so much fun!

I love my La La!

Lauren, TK's sister is a senior this year! It is so hard to believe! She is such a beautiful girl, but she is even sweeter! We hope you have a wonderful senior year LaLa! You really cant tell in this picture, but Jaxson loves her! He follows her everywhere when she is around and always wants her to hold him!

Look How much I have grown!

My Handsome Boys!

The countdown is on! Only 5 more days!!!

I love this time of year! 2 simple things that I cannot wait for-

The Hills next week! And you know how obsessed I am with One Tree Hill-I cant wait to see who Lucas actually called! Is it Brooke, Peyton, or Lindsey? I am thinking Brooke- but we will see! I even have to watch OTH reruns on SoapNet along with reruns of The OC.

Another thing that I am looking forward to is 90210- now I know the new cast cant top the old one- but maybe it will be worth watching!

Last, lets not forget about a new season of The View- I watch this everyday at the gym- I just love love Elisabeth!!!! Great woman for politics, smart, and beauty!

Not too bad for a Mississippi Girl!

Congratulations Skylar!!!! We love you!!!

Below is an email my brother sent out-


Well, the 2008 rodeo season has come to an end and the 2009 season will start Aug.16th. The girls have made it back from their 2300+ mile trip and made it back with a lot of Gold and Silver. Skylar has come home with 5 buckles and also with 5th place in the WORLD. NOt too bad for a 8yr old Mississippi girl. There were cowboys and cowgirls from all over the nation there. She was the only person from the Southeast to come home with any awards. Although from watching the videos they all did great. Thanks for asking about them while they were gone. I think this week she'll be here carrying the AMERICAN FLAG at the Ralph Morgan Rodeo in Lauderdale,Ms Friday night. If you have Dish-Network, the finals will be on RFDTV(231) next week.

Update!

The past few weeks have been super busy around here! School starts next week and I have trunkshows all weekend for Rags Land! Now updates on the boys- Jaxson is now walking everywhere! He would rather crawl, since he is so fast, but he can walk across the living room and back, stand up, fall down, then get back up and start walking! He is too cute! Brantley and Jaxson both had dentist appointments this week. Brantley hated the dentist when we lived in MS due to an accident there that led to several other doctors appointments by specialist in Birmingham- so we changed dentist to one here in Bham and Brantley now loves it! Jaxson had his first appointment, now that he has 7 teeth, I thought it was time! He loved the dentist! He just kept watching the fish in the huge aquarium next to the dental chair. Back to Brantley- he starts first grade this year!!! I cant believe it! He is also going to take Spanish after school and soccer starts soon, then baseball and basketball- whew! Maybe everything around here will slow down soon! I will post pictures soon!

Fun in the Sun at Jaxson's Party

Jaxson's First Birthday Party

Happy 1st Birthday Jaxson!

My favorite picture of Jaxson

Finally Mastered the Sippy Cup!

Happy 4th of July!

Our family is growing again!

NO, NOT BY US! By, TK's sister, Brandi and her husband Sam. They found out yesterday that they are expecting a little girl! Brandi is due in November. Little baby "Shober"-(last name) does not have a name yet, but Brandi really likes the name Stella. I will keep everyone updated for the next several months- for she does not have a blog, but Aunt Haley will have to change that! Congratulations Brandi and Sam!!!

Congratulations to Crystal and Wilse

One of my great college friends, who I dont get to see enough of, is expecting!!!! You can check out her blog here! She now lives in Texas and I miss her so much! She had the most beautiful wedding 3 years ago at Seaside,FL and shortly moved to Texas. She has the dream job!!! Check out her blog to see! In the picture above Crystal has on the cute pink jacket. This is one girl that shops at much as I do so I know this baby will be in baby couture all the way! Congratulations!!!! *(Notice the picture was taken at one of our Engagement parties- almost 5 years ago, maybe if I increase my workouts to 6 miles a day I can look like that again soon! haha:)

11 months old!

Can you believe it? We are planning his first birthday already! It is sad! My baby is growing up! He loves to play baseball. He crawls around with it and when he sees TK, he throws it to him, and I must say, he can throw hard for an 11 month old! He is just precious and he loves to give kisses and wave bye bye! He is moving great and is very close to walking. He is growing too fast!!! The next month we post will be from his birthday party!

All of the group- except Erika, Sam and the twins. We miss Brandi, Sam and Alana too!!!

Fun at the Beach!

More Beach Pictures!

Beach pictures!

Beach Pictures are fun! This was not planned, but they all had on white and denim so we headed to the beach before dusk for pictures. I think they turned out great, but look what I was working with!

Having fun at Night!

We have been going to Destin Commons the past 2 night. The kids love it! We do too! Lots of shopping, sweet treats and great activities for the kids. Everyone from Jaxson, to Isabella and Landry, to Brantley and Hunter, Cooper and Lauren,Tyler and Adrian. We are having so much fun all being together for the week!

Our Resort/Condo

We are having so much fun here! This is great! Usually beach vacations can be a lot of work with 2 kids, but this resort has made it so simple! We are staying at the Emerald Grande at Harbor Walk. It is very nice, just opened so it is not crowded at all. All the shops are being finished now- so next year, this place will be even more awesome! I highly recommend this place! Check it out here!

A True Father that will be missed!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the best Daddy I know!

Casting Crowns - American Dream

A few weeks ago we talked about this in Sunday School- listen to the words carefully, this really spoke to me. TK bought me this CD for my birthday- the Casting Crowns Live CD and I have to say I Love It!

Why is it so hard?

Losing weight!- What 99% of women, worry about and think about daily. If you know me, you know that I am a nurse in an eating disorder treatment center, I love my girls- but I hate this 20 lbs of post baby fat too! Kinda hard to diet in the position I am in. So, this week I joined this gym. Love it! I have been everyday since Monday for atleast 1 hour. (Jax has done great too! He suffers from a little bit of seperation anxiety) Anyways, I need to work my arms and stomach- I dont want to pay a personal trainer right now- due to vacation funds! Who in the blogging world can give me advice on working my arms really good and stomach- (notice I didnt say abs). Any advice would be great! Maybe I will post before and after pics after I lose a few extra pounds first!

Last Minute Vaca!

For those of you who know us., we love family and we love to travel! In July we are taking a family cruise with TK's parents, but that seems too far off! This past week TK's mom calls us and ask us about going to the beach in a few days. We cant wait! We are meeting TK's uncle and cousins there too! We are so pumped up! Has anyone ever stayed here? It is a new resort, but looks awesome for kids! Last minute trips are always the best!

10 months old!
