Think about us

Hello everyone!
I hope you all are having a great week. Again today is Thursday and this is my most hated day of the week! For my closest loved ones they know why and if I could just erase this day all together my weeks would be smoother.
We have a big weekend planned..... Tallan is being dedicated at church on Sunday. My brother and Maggie are flying in today and on Sunday I will have almost all of Jason's family and my family at our house for a lunch after church. I am praying really hard that everything goes smoothly!
Keep us in your thoughts. I hope to have tons of pictures to share next week of our joyous day bringing Tallan before our church for dedication. I thank God everyday for my son. He has be dedicated to God since he was conceived.
Love to all!

I'm Famous.......

here is my name on Neyland Stadium's field! what a moment in my life that they recognized me that way!!!
Just having a moment. Deana Carter performed at halftime so the band spelled out her name on the field, but hey we share a great name!

Weekend Away!

This past weekend was our first weekend away from both the boys. First time away in 3 months, more than just dinner. Very stressful! But we survived and so did the boys and we had a great time!
We drove up to Pigeon Forge and then on to Knoxville for the game! GO VOLS!!! We beat the Georgia Bulldogs and oh my what a game!!!

Here we are prior to heading to the stadium, our normal parking place, Holiday Inn Worlds Fair.
Here is the Pride of the Southland Marching Band! I didn't get the power T b/c I was cheering to much! I love that moment in the stadium when the band forms the power T and then splits, then the team runs out. It is an awesome sight, everyone should experience that one time!!



Pregame warm ups!
Go Vols!!!

What a weekend! Glad to be home and I don't think I let Tallan go for 3 hours. I know he changed in 2 days! Dayne was glad we were home, he just kept going back and forth b/w Jason and I.

Many Faces of Tallan

Here is my Tallan, now 3 months old. He is becoming a little version of Jason. It is so awesome to watch a baby grow and change again. The sad thing is that I have already forgot some of those moments with Dayne. I love when Tallan looks at me and laughs, smiles, coos. It is like he can see right through me and give me what I need! My little miracle.

Another Year of Preschool!

This was Dayne last year walking into preschool. I thought he was Big Boy then, look at him now.

Dayne loves preschool and that is the best thing for me! He has grown and changed so much in one year but he really enjoys going to preschool and I think he has his teachers fooled so far :)

This is his newest thing with pictures, he just puts his fingers in his mouth and say cheese.
My little man is growing up so fast!!

You have to watch this!

Take a minute to watch this video. I saw this on someone's blog, but thought it was powerful enough to share with you!
B/C this is my first time trying to post a video click on the title of this blog and it will take you to the site on You Tube.
Have a great and blessed day!

Tallan Working Hard

I was able to buy this play mat with mobile at the awesome consignment sale this past weekend (thank you Jennifer!). Here is Tallan at our office, he is working hard and now I can too!

I can't believe he likes it so much!

Thank you!

Jason and I wouldn't have had as good of vacation as we did if it weren't for the help of Jason's parents! They went above and beyond helping with the boys and I can't thank you both enough for that. I know that Dayne had the best time with you both, he loves you both dearly and I know Tallan was appreciative too. Thank you again for going with us and thank you for your help! We love Granna and Pa Pa!!

Us

Here we are! My wonderful family! My wonderful husband! My wonderful boys!
Thank you God for this family

Family Time!

Here are the boys, just sweet moments

More Fun!

Daddy got his workout with Dayne in the ocean. Jason had to hold onto Dayne and lift him with every wave. This was normally how I saw Jason, on his back and under the water.

Tallan just chilling out! He has changed so much and I hope he had a good time too. He got lots of attention!













Here he is trying to get out a full smile. Isn't he cute! How am I so lucky to have 2 beautiful boys?



Saturday we had to support our team, GO VOLS! Even though they did not win, we were good fans :) Dayne loves his jersey and wouldn't take it off.

Finally a Beach Vacation!!

Isn't his little butt so cute!

Dayne loving the ocean, we couldn't get him out of the ocean. And I can safely say that the waves were his favorite!

Tallan sleeping again. That is okay I was able to get a little sun :)

More ocean time! He just loved it!

Here are some pictures of the boys

Dayne is so photogenic .... But here he is with pudding on his face, isn't he cute. I will claim him!

Tallan not sure if he wants his picture made. These were about 3 weeks ago, look how small he was.

















This was the first Sunday we took him to church, still so small.
He is doing great! Look close and see how much he has changed

Major Step

Okay I am only posting this for the accountability that it will give me. Being public about this is not something that is normal for me. After having Dayne it took me 1 year to get to my pre-pregnant weight and that was a lot of hard work. Now that Tallan is 8 weeks old, I keep looking in the mirror and saying I haven't changed. So I have joined weight watchers online. I am trying to start this and work on it very hard. My first goal is to just get out of maternity clothes fully, second goal is the wedding that is coming up in May of my brother and Maggie. I do not want to be the 'fat one' up there. That will be so embarrassing. I only gained 20 pounds with Tallan which I can say I am very proud of myself for that, but only 11 of it has come off. So here I go on a personal venture. But I need to be accountable. Pray for me, that is the best with weight watchers you can be realistic!
