I LOVE MY DAYCARE!

Well, I know it is Cannon's daycare. I just have to brag! They are so awesome! You see I was the mom who went to work everyday right after I had Cannon crying because I felt bad just leaving him with our friend. I did that for about two and a half months and then decided I just had to stay home with him. Then after about a year the opportunity for JJ and I to purchase our own business presented itself. Cannon was once again staying with a friend and my guilt was back! Finally in October of last year one of my new Red Oak friends mentioned that her son was at this great daycare and I should look into it.
What a blessing! Cannon loves his school and so do I! He started picking up things within the first week that I had worked on with him to no avail.
This morning he was mad at me and they made it all better.

Our Crazy Lives....

I cannot believe that it has been almost 2 months since my last blog. We have been so super busy you would not believe. Instead of being excited for the entire weekend I have just been looking forward to football Sundays. God invented many wonderful things, but Sunday as a day of rest is the one thing I have been the most greatful for lately.


I think this is actually from August when my parents, Sissy's family, and my family went to Mesquite Rodeo, but I love the picture of Cannon and Hunter!



I will try to recap some of the past 2 months. First lets start with the easy stuff... Every Tuesday and Thursday there is Nathan's baseball practice, Wednesday he has baseball lessons, and then on Saturday's he has a game. JJ's parents have been up to visit twice in the past and each time his Mom so awesomely catches me up on ALL of my laundry. I know, how could I have that much if she has caught me up, but JJ and Nathan wear about 3 changes of clothes a day and each time Nathan has about 3 shirts on. Believe me it piles up quickly!

September is a blur... Our major family news is that we are expecting a new addition to our family on May 17, 2009. This news has drastically changed my day to day activities. Now I spend most of the day wondering when I am not going to feel sick anymore and if I could sneak a little nap in somewhere. Neither seem as if they are ever going to come to fruition, but a girl can hope. Other exciting September events where: Press box Friday evening, Jennifer and the boys visit, Stephaine and her kids visit, Maw and Papa visit, Nathan's birthday parties 1 and 2, and J's colonoscopy. I know a colonoscopy exciting? Maybe I should say funny is more like it! See my husband has never had any kind of medical procedure done and they sedated him. Coming out of the medication he was asking me all sorts of questions, over and over again. When I would let laughter slip out he would look at me with his glazed over eyes like I was crazy for laughing at him. Thanks J I am laughing again as I am writing this!



Jacob, Jeffery, and Cannon playing in the tub!

Daken, Paw, Keller, Cannon, and Jeffery... I just love how much taller Keller is than Cannon and he is older by 3 days!


Nathan party and cake number one. When Maw and Papa where here!


Nathan cake and party number 2! This cake is from The Icing, our favorite cake place!



October has been much the same. Run run run. See I decided with everything else I have going on in my life I would also chair the Red Oak Chamber Auction. Also known as the biggest fundraiser for the chamber all year. It is a big enough undertaking when business times are good, but when people are hanging on to every penny it is hard to get them to let it just "walk" out the door. All in all the auction went great and I am glad that it is over for another year! Maw and Papa visited us again this month and they truly helped my boys (and me) survive the weekend of the auction. See my mother-n-law is like this super woman that never sits down. She played with Cannon, fed my boys, did all my laundry (you already know that is an undertaking), and washed all my sheets. The only thing she complained about is that J kept them up too late. Thank you Maw for helping me! I have also worked a shopping trip into this month. On Sunday Mom and I got to go shopping! It was wonderful! It feels like it has been forever! We used to take Cannon, but he has turned into a little boy and only wants to shop for him some more toys. Can you blame him? Anyway Mom and I found some warm clothes for the boys and my belly. Of course sleep has replaced most things, but spending the afternoon with my Mom is one of my favorite things to do!

Me speaking in front of about 150 people... Just wanted everyone to know I could do it!

One of the vendors that comes to visit my office! Last year he was a vampire!

Just a cute picture of Cannon at Nathan's baseball game.

I would also like to wish my Granddaddy a happy birthday and let him know that it is cold but not snowing like is was on this day in 1925!
