Justins First Day of 1st Grade

So today was Justins first day of 1st grade. Its hard to believe he is already in 1st grade, but I guess I will say that every year. He was so nervous this morning and had a bad tummy ache and was whinny and upset. The moment we stepped in the doors of school he was FINE! He met his teacher Mrs Gerhardt, and saw that 3 of his friends from Kindergarten were in his class (Reice, Logan, and Hannah).. Here are some pictures of him ready to go this morning!

Update on us all!

First off I wanted to update everyone on Daddy. We had to end up taking him into the ER Saturday night with chest pains. They weren't confident enough that he wasn't having a heart attack that they decided to keep him overnight to run more test and to give him a stress test Sunday. Thankfully every test came back within normal limits and he was released. It was one of the scariest nights on my life and I thank god he is ok! He is to follow-up with his doctor and they are hoping it was just inflammation in between his heart and lungs. So everyone please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!

One the baby quest it turned out month three was a bust, but that's ok with us. We know that July just wasn't our month and that maybe August will be. That would give us a beautiful May baby, so fingers crossed!

The boys are doing great. Justin had fall ball skill evals today, gosh it was so HOTT! He can't wait for fall ball to start. The boys went to Pappy and Grandma Marys house this weekend and we got to give them a surprise room makeover while they were gone. They had saw a sports room in a magazine and said they wanted their room like it. SO this is what they got (not bad for a 6 hour renovation)!

I LOVE this song!

I love all of Brad Paisleys songs, and all his videos are awesome and make the song 100 times better. Here is Waitin On A Women!

Puppy Packages

Well Miss Dixie and Layla received a surprise in the mail today from their family in Ohio! They LOVED their new toys and Layla had to pull every one of them out of the box! Dixie liked them too, but only wanted to play with which ever toy Layla had, she felt the need to take it from her! Here are some cute pics of Layla opening their gift!

THANK YOU NANNY, RUTH, TOM, ROSEMARY, STAR, ABBEY, SUGAR, and SPICE!

Fun at the Splash Park

Up near our house is a park that has a "splash pad". The kids love it!! They get to run through the sprinklers and have buckets of water dumped on them. We went Friday, and met some friends Jolene, Mathew, Sammie, and sweet baby Kaylee. The kids have missed each other so much since we moved to Murfreesboro. Mathew and Justin picked up right were they left off and I believe will always be best buddies! Here are some pictures from the splash park!

Sadness for a friend

Death seems to creep up on you when you least expect it, and funerals seem to make you think of your own mortality and that of the ones you love. Sunday a good friend of Joe and I's lost his wife of 6 years. Only 25 years old she slipped out of his life while they both slept. When hearing of the news ours hearts broke immediately and instantly your mind puts you in that situation! What if I were to loose my solemate! But no one can understand the pain of loosing someone like that unless you have experienced it first hand. Our hearts are with Dustin and his son Braden and their family as they grieve the loss of a wife, a mother, and a friend!

Happy 4th of July

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! The kids had a blast shooting their fireworks, and then our neighbors decided to put on a show and I swear they had a grand spent in the NICE fireworks. I felt like I was at riverfront! Dixie LOVED the fireworks, weirdo.. We had to keep her from getting to close. Its like she was in a trance from the colors and noise! Here are some pics of the boys with papa and daddy shooting their fireworks!

Happy 4th of JULY!
