Top 2 Tuesday (but on Wednesday for moi)


Ok, I've been seeing these top 2 Tuesdays for awhile but I just figured out the blog they came from. So, I am participating! woo woo!
Top 2 Songs Tuesday
1. R. Kelly -Just like that
This is an amazing song about the joys we feel in life. It reads like a poem and I love it! I can hear it every day and still get excited!
2. Pat Boone -Moon River
My mom told me when she was little her parents would dance to this song on the record player in the living room once all the kids went to bed. My mom fell asleep to it many nights. This song makes me feel linked to a family and people I truly never got to know. Makes me feel good! Also, Mr. Big left this record/song for Carrie when he moved out of his place. :o)

Boys are SO much F-U-N!

Woo-hoo last weekend I was off to celebrate Natalie and baby Nolan who is due in a month! I spent last Saturday driving to Centerville to Nat's shower. I passed my namesake so I had to pull over and take a picture....





Nothing like a fondant baby!

The fabulous 4 from college!


Tiny little Natalie 8 months pregnant! She made out like a bandit! I'm so excited to meet Nolan in October!

It's a known fact that I have always wanted 3 boys. I ONLY had boy baby dolls and played boy adoption agency as a child. I shopped in the real newborn section at the store for my boy clothes, had real diapers and real accessories. Of course, that's when I wasn't making my brother solve math problems while I was the teacher on the chalk board. hehe Before you get feisty, I love little girls too. I am happy for all my friends with babies and am so happy to be a part of their lives and watch them grow. But, internally, I just melt over a boy! I don't know if I am girly enough to be a mom of girls. Last night I held little Grayson who is so darn adorable! I wanted to keep him. My heart was so happy! He laid like a little frog on my chest and had the deepest dreams.

tired of all the girl talk going on around him....

He has fuzzy blond hair


He is so cute!



Laura- I am so proud of you! You're such a trooper and never complain, just roll with the punches. You are already a stress free and happy mom and it is so great to see that in you! I'm so glad to call you my friend and watch little Grayson grow in his converse shoes and seersucker outfits!

Weekend Fun...just us 2!

The hubs is constantly working but this weekend we had some casual fun! Saturday night we went downtown Nashville just to go... We had to eat at Hooters so I could get fried pickles and the hubs could get atomic wings!

We ghosted some people with rat tails and mullets.




hehe (side note, I only did this for BH who goes to Walmart to ghost people)

drooled over the bikes.... we play a game called pick out your favorite....





Sorry about all the lights...
On Sunday we went to the hubs side of the family for a cookout. I didn't take any family pictures...but you can tour the 50+ acres of land on the 4-wheeler with us. My hubs, being forced to take pictures. (I hope my friends are still friends with me after you look closely and see that he IS wearing jorts. You know jean shorts?! I told him you (LOMA and SCARY) might un-friend me due to his un-coolness.) His words "it's a farm, you don't dress up, you need field clothes." Whatever, I still wore earrings! Rascal- the pit leading the way

The Newton Cannon home circa 1800's! He was the first Whig Governor of Tennessee! It's on the National Historic Registry and has to be preserved. It's awesome! The graveyard is not on their land, it is on the farm next door. (if you like dorky stuff like me...this will intrigue you too)


Trying to take pictures as we ride




Do you see what I see? Look closely and find my hubs tree stand!

The sunlit path...


Super close to the cows, I squealed because this one kept giving me the stink eye!

Big ole thing!

Horns = scary. I told Steven if they attacked I would be stuck in the back...he didn't drive any faster!!


The new horse with the brown spot-Desperado!

...that was our weekend, looking forward to the next!!
