What We Have Been Up To

This past week has been a busy and fun one for us. Here is a recap of some of our festivities.

We headed to the Fort to celebrate with Mama and Julie's family. We all rode the train at the park. We love that train. It was Henry's first train ride. We did not let him ride the train at Zoo Lights earlier in the month so this could be his first train ride. He smiled the whole way and was mad when we got off.
Henry finally got to meet our Aunt Donna. It was one of the best parts of Christmas this year. I loved how they looked at each other. It was an instant bond.

I got to love on my first babies for a wee bit. Julie's kids make aunthood blissful.

We then came home to have Christmas in our matching pj's. We had so much fun.

Nana and Papa came to celebrate with us. We enjoyed having them with us Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Santa came and Henry is now in toyland

Daddy is now giving lots of wagon rides around the house


And I am sitting here trying to remember all the wonderful things we have received so I can write thank you notes.

Our Christmas is not over yet. We have S Family Christmas this weekend. I can't wait to see my Daddy and the rest of our family. This Christmas will be complete once we celebrate with them. I like spreading the love out for a week or two. Christmas is so much fun!

I love this time of year too! It is fun to spread out all of the fun. We have to do that with our families too. Henry looks like he had a fun Christmas!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Pedicure Pledge

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Sandal Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. I will
