Rebels take series from Georgia!!!!

We spent the weekend in Oxford and had such beautiful weather. We enjoyed Double Decker on Saturday before going to the game and watching the Rebels win against the Georgia Bulldogs.

Brooklyn gets bored sometimes at the games, so here she is coloring with Ally Harper's stuff.

Sunday morning we got up bright & early because Ally Harper woke everyone up around 5:30, so we made her a pallet on the floor so she could watch cartoons. After about 5 minutes she decided to come climb in bed with me, and before she made it that far, she tripped on a pillow and headbutted the hotel nightstand! The sound was horrible. Immediately, a huge knot popped up on her forehead and we put ice on it. It was by far her worse injury to date! Chris went to Walmart for some Tylenol and while he was gone, she vomited. We got the doctor on the phone and they told us things to watch for. She ended up being okay, with the exception of the monsterous knot and bruise. So after an eventful morning, we were able to get everyone back to sleep for a while, then we went outside to the Grove and enjoyed the wonderful weather. Brooklyn had a great time laying in the grass reading and Ally enjoyed running around everywhere!

At the game that afternoon, someone went as long as they could before finally giving it up during the 7th inning!

12 Weeks and growing.....

We had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and we got to have another sonogram. How amazing is it that babies grow as fast as they do? Even after doing this two times before, I am still in awe of how God grows this miracle so fast. We could see hands, feet, spine, face, everything.... Pam even thought she would be able to tell the sex, but baby was being modest. Which I was a little relieved :) I do want to find out what it is, but yesterday seemed too early, and I would have hated for her to be wrong, so we'll wait another month before finding out.

Getting ready for Baby Anna

I helped my friend, Randa, with a baby shower Saturday night, and we had such a good time. Sam & Katherine Newsom (works at Trustmark on Lakeland) from Brandon are expecting their first in July. We played some great games, and look how cute the diaper cake I made turned out. I was very pleased.




95th Birthday Celebration for Frances Hederi

Saturday, we celebrated Chris' grandmother's 95th birthday. How amazing is that? She is amazing!! We had family to fly fly in and had a great time visiting with everyone.
Gigi, Gran & Allyson
Taking time to smell the flowers!


As one of her gifts, she got a memory book that contained photos from when she was a child until now. It was awesome. Thanks Frannie for doing such a wonderful job.

She did a really good job with finding eggs, or should I say picking up eggs. They were just thrown in the yard. Jonathan, her 6 y/o cousin, thought they were hidden to easy!!!

Hotty Toddy Birthday John Pitner!

We went to Oxford a couple of weeks ago for a baseball game and John Pitner's party. Ally had such a great time playing in the yard with all of his toys. She especially liked swinging like a big girl on the swing set!
