Happy Birthday Hubby!



Me and Chivas at the Jack Daniel's BBQ Championship in Lynchburg, TN


Sweet Daddy and Chapper Dapper


Chivas and his big boy Sam

Tomorrow is my hubby's 24th birthday! We are still so young...guess that's a good thing! I know I won't have time to post tomorrow so I thought I'd post some precious pics of my sweet man...
I've told him many times before...he's the best thing that ever happened to me! He loves us like there is no tomorrow!
Happy Birthday Daddy!
We love you!

Oh Chapper Dapper!





Isn't he precious?

Chap's Bible Verse
"The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make HIS face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."
Numbers 6 24-26


So maybe he is the King of Fashion...





Cre8ive Recreation makes the cutest shoes for kids! He LOVES them...They are the "Skittles Lo". They are very well made (which I like 'cause Sam goes through shoes like it's his JOB). Plus, he NEVER complains about wearing them.

ooohhh...just figured out how to post a signature...neato


Work. It. Son..

It's no secret that I'm not the biggest fan of country music. Boy, did I marry the wrong man... When we travel, Chivas and I have music war in the car. Unfortunately young Sam has taken the wrong path and chosen a future career in Country Music Entertainment. Notice he sings the line "cold beer". I almost didn't post this hilarious video because of that line. Ever since my best friend Jamie married Jason Miller (lead singer from Crossin' Dixon) Sam has devoted his life to belting country music at the top of his lungs! Thank you Jason Miller...for poisoning my childs mind and torturing my ears on a daily basis...Just kidding Jason...we love you! Maybe Sam really is destined to be the next George Strait...

The KING of Fashion...or not



It never fails ya'll...Sam is going to crack us up every day...in some way or another! So yesterday he decides he wants to be a "ninja cougar". Yep, that's right people...ninja cougar. Whatever that may be! Wardrobe for a ninja cougar consists of: long sleeve tee tucked into SKIN TIGHT Under Armour cold gear pants and cowboy boots. NICE!

Busy Bees!!!

I know, I know...I'm slacking BIG TIME on posting! School has sucked every ounce of life out of me! Only 5 more months! I promise to post new photos of the boys this weekend. We are all doing very well. We've been busy adjusting to our new schedules. Allison, Granny, and Nana have been SUPER TROOPERS with the boys! It's so reassuring to know that I can leave my children with people that I know will take just as good (or better;-) care of them than I would. What a blessing family is!!!!
Chap has learned so many new things in the past couple of weeks. He is on the brink of a fairly extensive vocabulary for a 10 month old! He says Nana, two, no-no and a few others. He is still obsessed with his furry brother Ty. He tells him "no no Ty." SO SWEET!
Sam is enjoying school but had a difficult time at first getting used to being ready in time in the mornings. No more Mommy doing it for him! It was a much needed transition...for me and for him! He has been complaining of his ears and we have noticed that he has had a difficult time hearing lately. Chivas took him to the doc yesterday and he has a double ear infection! He's doing much better today.
I had an appointment with Dr. Fredericks Saturday evening...Yes, I said Saturday evening! She works seven days a week! My appointment was at 5:15 pm! And of course I was not the last person there. She is amazing. I am so proud to report that she believes I am in a remission! NO MORE IVIG! For now anyways...I will see her every few months to closely monitor my condition so that I don't have an exacerbation.
Chivas is doing great as usual. He is so calm and relaxed...change doesn't bother him. He goes with the flow! It's perfect confirmation that he is the one for me! I definitely need his personality to tone mine down a notch!

Baby's Best Friend

Lately Chap has been CRAZY about Ty. Chap thinks Ty is HILARIOUS and he loves to hear him bark. Ty has always loved kids...and yes...he is SUPER gentle with them. Ty has always had a special bond with Sam (they grew up together) but he is also enjoying getting to know Chap! Most days Ty just enjoys sitting in his kennel being ridiculously lazy. So Chap loves to crawl into the sun room to watch Ty. Chap has just learned to say "Hey TY!" and "woof woof!"...SO PRESH! We love having Ty in our family!
