Mary Kate's Room is Finished

September 28, 2009

From my earlier post, you already know that we have finished the painting in Mary Kate's room . . . but Jay still surprises me! When I came home from work on Monday Jay had put her room together. He put the crib up, made it with her bedding, and moved the furniture to their new locations in the room. I had no idea he was working on it! I won't lie . . . I hoped he was doing the room, but he didn't give it away. As I walked by to go change out of my scrubs I noticed things were moved. I flipped on the light . . . and tadah! He is so good to me! So here is a pic of me obviously my 22 week tummy with the crib and our stripes. I can't wait until she is sleeping in it!

GHS Homecoming 2009

September 25, 2009

Friday was our High School Homecoming. We had our reunion earlier this summer so Friday was open to attend all the festivities. Gindy and I went to the pep rally at school. We took Max and Jill's Darby Grace to see the cheerleaders. I am not real sure they were impressed. It was a good pep rally, but Max was curled up in my lap by the end asking for nap time. It was fun to go back and see it as a spectator. It is definitely more fun on the floor as cheerleaders! After the pep rally we went to the parade. Max took his beach bucket and got lots of candy. Prior to the game we were invited to a reception honoring us as Class of 1999 cheerleader, homecoming court, and football player. We enjoyed cookies and punch while visiting with old classmates. Since we had our reunion this summer; we planned a tailgate for the game . . . well . . . as you can see . . we didn't have a good representation. It was mostly just those of us who were on the reunion committee chasing our kids in the parking lot. Oh well, at least we participated! Until 20yrs . . .

Her Room is Striped!

September 27, 2009
Well, it has been a week long process, but the stripes are DONE! I cannot say it was an enjoyable experience, but I love the finished product. I hope she does! Maybe this week we can get the furniture arranged and make it look for real.

Toliet Tunes

We think we will take Max to the next American Idol auditions . . . with his own song that he wrote . . . as he performs here on the toliet. What do you think?

Starting Her Room

September 21, 2009

Jay, Max, and I started working on Mary Kate's room this weekend. We packed up stuff, moved furniture, cleaned, and began the process of painting. We had tons of fun painting as a family. We have lots of striping left to be done, but that will go slow as each color has to be done separately. We have 19 weeks so I think we have plenty of time. I will update with pictures as the colors spread!

Flooding in Middle TN

September 17, 2009

As you know my brothers are local firemen, well, yesterday JP (Josh) got to put some skills into action. We have had lots of rain here this week and there has been some flash flooding near his town. Josh and another firefighter jumped into action when some homes were being threatened by a nearby rising creek. Josh took my grandfather Bull's boat out of his garage and headed to the area. They put the boat in the water and assisted to rescue a neighborhood from their homes. I found the following pictures on some local news station sites. The close up shot is also a 1/2 page photo on the front top fold of The Tennessean paper. Local HEROs . . I am a proud big sis!
