GOING BACK IN TIME:

Reese's first day of MDO. Miss Rachel and Miss Kylee are her teachers and they are AWESOME! Reese loves them!!!
(November)

Here are my sweet little skunks on their way to trunk or treat.


Reese's birthday. Because she is born right at Halloween we used it as an excuse to dress up. She is a skunk.
(October)


BABY SITTERS CLUB!!!!
For all of you who have kids LISTEN UP, this is the most awesome idea EVER!!!!
We along with 3 other couples, take turn each weekend (one night of the weekend of course) watching each others kids. Cason and I are every 4th weekend of each month. We get to pick the night (Friday or Saturday) that we watch the kids. The other 3 weekends of the month Cason and I get to go on a date...or run errands...or whatever else we need or want to do without kids. its nice on so many levels. Its really nice because I dont feel like we are always using my parents or brother and Natalie to watch them when we want to do something. ***** PLUS we do it with kids that Parker is crazy about. The kids seem to love the arrangement about as much as we do. Every weekend they get to play together.



I just put this in here because I have tried on 4 different occasions to take pictures of my kids and out of those 4 times this is one of the only decent pictures. That is VERY frustrating.


FIRST DAY! He loves it! Zoe is his girl friend. He is going to marry her. Or so he says. Miss Carla, Miss Jill, and Miss Stella are his teachers. He is in the Bee class.



Parker's first day of MDO (Mothers Day Out)
(August)


We went to Chucky Cheese his fav. place! Here is he playing his fav. game, Hungry Hippo!



He got a bike from his Uncle Chad and Aunt Natalie.
HE LOVED IT!!! I mean LOVES IT!!!


Parker turned 3!!!
This is a nice face he is making.
(August)


The boys missed each other and it was neat to see that its not just Amanda and I that have a bond. Although sometimes theirs is a little less loving!

Went to Ohio to see Amanda. If words could describe what a loss it was for us to have them move away then I would write a book about it. The only thing that makes me feel better is that she will ALWAYS be one of my VERY BEST FRIENDS!!!!! She is AWESOME! We had a great time there. We went (just the 2 of us, THANKS MATT!!!) to lunch and a movie, the water park, the regular park, not to mention their own yard was like a park. We had a GREAT TIME!!!


Bought a rehab. We were homeless for about 2 months. then we owned a "project" for another 2 months before we moved in. We lived with my parents (God bless them) for 4 months. Due to many request I will post more pictures of this project soon.

Got into the Campbell Clinic. Staying in Memphis 5 more years! This was great news because Campbell clinic was our number 1 choice. A close 2nd was Emory in Atlanta and Vandy/ or really Nashville was always in the running too.
