Mowing the Yard...

Jeremy decided last minute last night to mow. Well, of all times guess who wanted to help????
You guessed it BOTH kids! I grabbed my "new" camera and snapped a picture. I thought it turned out cute!!

Grandparents Day at Loudon Elementary School

Grandparents Day at Loudon Elementary School was a first for Tucker. He really enjoyed having his grandparents and his great grandmother join him for a little fun at school.

Downtown Loudon

This is a picture of the new fountain downtown Loudon. It is absolutely beautiful at night! We took the kids to Tic Tocs for ice cream and they just had to sit and enjoy by the new fountain.

For some reason this reminds me of Forrest Gump???

Rylee checking it all out!

BEST FRIENDS

Labor Day Weekend Fun!!!

Once again we headed to Townsend for a long weekend camping trip. We had a fun time and of course made many more memories together. We enjoyed some special visitors Sunday afternoon, The Richesin's. I don't think Brooke will ever forget her visit from SCREAM!

The girls tubing and swimming in the river.

Thanks Craig, I owe you BIG time. You saved me from getting wet and cold!!!

This is the starting line of camper trivia. Nikki and Jeremy won first place.

Megan and dad were in second place, but we considered dad a "handicap."

We had a new camper with us this time. My Nanny Russell joined us for the long weekend. She was a BLAST!! I have always loved to be around her. I will always remember all the laughs she brought to our camping trip.

Another Rook Game...

All "tuckered" out!!!

Has it really been 5 years?

I cannot believe it has been 5 years that I found out I was going to be a mommy for the first time. It seems like only yesterday and now I am taking him to pre-school. WOW! I can remember that day oh so well. Jeremy was mowing and my test showed up positive. Of course I took about 4 more over the weekend because I didn't believe it. We were going to try to keep it quiet, but that was impossible. We told my our parents on that Monday. We had told them not to tell anyone because my cousin Megan was getting married in a few weeks and I did not want to take any attention away from her during this time. As her wedding day drew closer I wrote her a letter and put it up. It was a letter I was going to give to her husband and let him give it to her on their honeymoon. However, I was SO sick that she quickly figured it out. I mean I barely made it to her wedding. Anyway, this is a special day for me and I will never forget it! Love ya, Tucker and I am so thankful that God chose me to be your momma!!!

8 Years ago today...

Eight years ago about this time exactly, my dad was walking me down the isle giving me away to the love of my life and my best friend. Daddy really didn't give me away he says, "He is just sharing me."
Jeremy and I are celebrating eight years of marriage today. He brought me 8 roses to school and he and I went to Calhouns for dinner, well we had two little tag alongs. We had a wonderful dinner even though Jeremy and I sat on the opposite ends of the table. He even suggested he call me on my cell phone so we could talk.
Jeremy, Thanks so much for 8 wonderful years. I thank God every night that he has given you to me. I truly value your Godly leadership in our marriage and our home. The kids and me are so blessed to have you in our lives. I love you!!
