Fair Fun & a New Farm Friend!

On Friday night, we went to the fair! It was lots of fun! We ate fair food, rode fair rides and played fair games! :) His first gum… There aren’t many pictures of G and P because they spent their time riding rides like this… There was also a petting zoo there! They had a baby zebra!!!! It was SO cute, 8 weeks old! And this guy was my fav!

AND THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Sunday after church we headed to north Alabama for this little guy…

   Meet Tuck! Tucker Hamilton! :)UM, how cute is he? So VERY!

I have been wanting a piggy for a while. I wanted one a very long time ago and then decided that we have enough animals! About a year or so ago my sister started trying to talk me into it and I told her she was bat cray. A few months ago I finally decided that we needed one! haha! So, since then, I’ve been researching and researching! Finally, last week I came across this fellow and couldn’t resist! We are working on litter box training so we’ll see how that goes! He also already has his Halloween costume! :)

Happy 13th Birthday Griffin!

Thirteen years ago on this very day at 9:04pm I became a mommy! All my life I dreamed of being a wife and mom and the moment that this became my reality made me feel like this was exactly what I was meant to be!

Happy Birthday to you, Griffin Lee! I can't believe you are a teeneager now! Please don't kill me and your Dad through the teenage years, take it easy on us! K?

I love you more than you will ever know! Well, until you have kids, then you'll get it!

Happy Birthday Big Mama!

Today is Big Mama’s 87th birthday! I love her more than anything! I call her anytime I need advice on anything and everything…she knows it ALL! We had a fancy lunch at Kozy’s and then I’m sure she was off to Walmart! My sister and I picked a card that said, “Happy 21st Birthday!” so she got a kick out of that!!

Happy Birthday Big Mama!!

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

We had a wonderful Saturday at the Griffin Farms Pumpkin Patch! This was the same one we went to last year and it’s great! I’m so glad that we finally have a pumpkin patch in our area! We went through the corn maze, played in the corn cribs, played with the animals, visited with Mickey Mouse, played in bouncy houses, stepped on a bee in one, slid in the giant culvert slide 975 times, ATE PUMPKIN PIE FUNNEL CAKE!!, rode the zip line, climbed the rock wall, rode the hay ride to get our pumpkins…I’m sure there’s something I’m leaving out but you get it…we had a blast! Stung by the mean ol bee! :(      Seriously…I don’t do pumpkin flavored stuff but this was SO GOOD!    And we ended the day with a big Bama win!!!! Roll Tide!

Peyton the Trombonist!

Back when Peyton was so sick with Mono, he missed instrument selection night for band at school. Supposedly he wasn’t contagious at the time but he still felt HORRIBLE and I just didn’t feel comfortable sharing instruments with a bunch of other kids just in case. Because mono is the devil and we didn’t want to share. The band director is fabulous and he said he would just test him in class. He wanted to play percussion because what boy doesn’t? But that was full, he sounded really great on the trombone(per the director, he is so excited about this!) so the trombone it is! If you hear scary noises coming from our house at night, no worries, we’re just learning to play! #forrealthough #scary

Before we know it, he’ll be playing some tunes!

Mary Poppins and Roll Tide!

We had another fun and busy weekend! On Friday night, Reece and I went to see Mary Poppins at the Bama Theater! It was SO good! We knew several of the actors so that made it even more fun! It was a late night for us, we didn’t get home until after 11, which is WAY past our bedtime!

 On Saturday, Hubby and I had tickets to sit in the Regions Bank Skybox at the game! Fun fun fun! :) Regions has one of the nicer skyboxes so we had a great time! And helloooo air condition!

Roll Tide!

Instagram Dump!

I really need to find the time to blog. I like to look back and see “what we were doing this time last year” all the time and if I don’t pick back up I won’t be able to do that anymore! :)

So, today it’s an Instagram dump of several pictures!

This was during one of Peyton’s Mono check ups! SO glad he is feeling much better! Because ice cream is THAT GOOD! Our girls are laying machines! This is what we get PER DAY! Daddy/Uncle Josh man handling babies! I love me some Joshua Brett! My little toot! Working on a flip house! This kitchen is on FLEEK! Will have to share some pictures when we finish! One of Reece’s friends moved to a different school so we had a sleepover, complete with Friday night lights! :) Our nephews stayed with us the weekend of Alabama’s opening game! Roll Tide! We counted down the days to Dancing with the Stars..this was premiere night! GO PAULA DEEN! “Excuse me, you’re in my spot!” I’m sure that’s what he’s thinking. Gymnastics beauties in their matching shirts! cough cough. TWO YEAR OLDS… Just some beachin’ boys! This boy and his SHOES…he came to me and said, “Do you promise to still accept me when I show you these shoes I am about to buy?” For reals. Peace out. Roll Tide!
