Happy New Year!

HAVE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Sad

My heart goes out to the Kirby's family. Deanna Kirby got killed in a car wreck last night in Woodbury. Her husband is Eddie Kirby and they have a son, Matt Kirby who is married to Stacy Acker. This is so sad because Christmas is around the corner.

Christmas pictures @ Blue Bonnet Inn

Merry Christmas everyone!
The pictures were taken at the Blue Bonnet Inn last weekend!
My husband had to work that day and could not attend the family pictures... I was so disappointed but maybe next time he will be able to come for the family pictures!
Enjoy it!

Laker "The Eskimo"

I have to brag about my Laker. If you are a mommy, I am sure you know what I am talking about! This morning, it was SOOOO cold outside and Laker needs to wear his BIG coat today. He has been wearing jacket but nothing like this BIG coat. It was his first time to wear something so HUGE. His daddy put it on for me and then he put him in his car seat... well, he was stuck and could not move and we could not buckle him so we had to loose his straps. It was soo funny. We laughed so hard and Laker laughed with us. I just though I'd pass this cute pic from this morning! Stay Warm and Happy Tuesday!

Halloween pictures

I know I am late putting up Halloween pictures. It's been a busy week. Laker had a great time on Halloween. He had his first Halloween party at the daycare and I am sure he does not understand what is going on yet. He was a money bag and he was so cute & adorable! Blake said that someone will probably steal the money bag. But everybody wanted to hold him and pinch him because he was so cute! His 2nd cousin, Ben was a ghost and he just loves to play with Laker on the floor. They had a ball!! I think they will be the best buddies ever!! And his other 2nd cousin, Blayton was a Humpty Dumpty and I love the way he put his hands in his pockets.

Anyway, on the other hand, Laker had his 9 months checkup and he weights 19.8 lbs. (Big Boy!) Thank goodness he didn't have to have his shots this time. Well, hope you guys have a great week. I'll try to do better on posting this blog.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!!

I will be sure to post some pictures this weekend. I hope everyone have a safe holiday! We are going to trick-n-treating at our families houses. Laker can not have candy right now but they will put toys in his Halloween bag. Hope no-one will roll our yard..LOL Have a safe night!

Laker on daddy's bike

Blake wants me to post few pictures of our son on his bike. It looks like Laker is ready to go for a ride! He turned 9 months old on the 16th! He is growing like a weed --- he can say da-da-da and ma-ma-ma... so cute! He is still learning how to crawl. He pretty much rock back and forth with his knees right now. We are trying to teach him to move his legs. He loves to get on his walker... he is so fast in that thing when he is following us. Our little shih-tzu Gizmo is terrified of the walker... I guess he thinks he is going to get run over. Ha.

I can not wait til next Friday for Halloween! I am so excited about going trick-n-treating... it will be fun! Have a great weekend!

Titans vs. Houston Game

We all 4 of us (Toby, Stevie, Blake and I) went to the Titans game few weeks ago against Houston, Texans and we beat them 31 to 12 !!!! It was so much fun even tho it was so humid. I would love to go back again but not this year since we have a baby and we can't go every weekend without him. When he gets older, he'll be able to go with us! Toby, I hope you guys get to go to this MNF (Monday Night Football) this coming Monday against the Colts in Nashville! I am jealous! J/K! Scoreboard -- we were so close to the scoreboard

Us posing for our pictures....LOL

It's FOOTBALL time in TENNESSEE!!

We will be watching the VOLS vs UCLA tonight at my grandparent's house. We are having a cookout and celebrate my cousin, Andrea, birthday as well! It is fun to have family get-together for this football season! We are a BIG fan of football. GO VOLS!

Fall Creek Falls

We went to Fall Creek Falls about 2 weeks ago for my husband's family reunion. It was nice to see everyone again. We ate good meals and then afterwards several people went swimming. We went along with them. We had to walk down the deep hill and it was hard because both of our hands were full with baby stuff and we took turns carrying Laker down. I didn't get in the water.... the water was like ice. My husband wanted to put our Laker in his float but he didn't like the water at all. It was too cold for him. But it was a fun day! Here are few pictures for that day.
