Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Memorial Day weekend we headed to the Redbirds game in Memphis for a little all American fun and fireworks. We just needed apple pie to make it complete. We ate BBQ nachos, hot dogs, popcorn and ice cold Coke. It was truly authentic business at the ballpark.

We love doing things with these cute people. We all loaded up in Randall's truck and headed to Memphis together. Emily's boys are WAY nicer about a photo than mine. My guys try their best to bomb each one they can. I still love them though.

Quinn and Henry were wearing matching ball caps with their daddy's. It was not intentional so it made it even extra cute. A little lineman and a little seed specialist in the making. I may have to put this one on my memo board in my kitchen this summer. I just adore it.

While traveling to the game I realized it was our year anniversary. We first socialized with them on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend last year. The boys pretty much made fun of us, but we were pretty excited about our milestone!

Henry and Quinn playing with a ladybug. Henry thinks Quinn is way cool and I tend to agree.

The night was capped off with a fantastic fireworks display on the field. It may have been the best I have ever seen. I had to put my sunglasses on because debris was falling into my face and eyes. We were that close. We could feel the ground move with each explosion. The patriotic music always makes it even more powerful. I love our country and the blessings God gives us. It is just not in every country you can go out and enjoy a night like this. So blessed.

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
