Braden Turns 4!!

My sweet little nephew Braden is now 4! He had his party at Chuck E. Cheese in Little Rock on Saturday and we had so much fun!

If you have ever been to a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party, then you probley know about the parade and dancing with Chuck E. Colson was getting into it! He loves to shake his booty!


We were lucky enough to get to take our neice Makinley with us and I was lucky enough to find her a tutu to wear. She was so cute and fun to spend the day with.

Bradens brother Hunter is into wrestling and has recently got Braden into it also, but Hunter is not so keen on the idea of sharing his wrestling things with him, so my mom was able to find him a John Cena shirt. He was super happy with that present!

Jeremiah, Colson and I got Bray a Spiderman Web Blaster and mask, and to be honest I wasn't sure Bray would like it but as I was posting my pictures from the party, I saw that Julie had posted hers and I as was looking thru hers, I ran across this and almost fell out of the chair laughing so hard...


After Spiderman got his lawn taken care of, i'm sure he spent the rest of the day resting and taking it easy. He ran from one end of Chuck E. Cheese to the other, so I am sure he was worn out! (YEAH RIGHT!) Happy Birthday Bray-Bray!

Cookie Monster!

When I got out of the shower this morning, I saw this stack of cookies. After picking them up, I saw that somebody had eaten all the icing out of them and put the cookie part back. I wonder who did it? I could only imagine it was this little boy:

(Needless to say the cookie jar must be moved to another location!)

Never Be Surprised

We all know our kids say and do some of the most random things, so I have decided to take note of a couple and share them with the rest of you! Enjoy!

one.
We were in the restroom at a restaurant and a much older lady comes in and as she is using the restroom, she "let out some extra sounds" and while Colson is pottying, he starts making pooting sounds with his mouth. Lets just say we waited to leave till she was out of the restroom.

two.
The same day as the pooting sound incident occurred, we went to a birthday party for his friend Dawson Turner, at the bowling alley and during his turn to bowl, Colson had to pee. While I am waiting on him to pee, I hear him saying "Focus, Focus, Focus!"

three.
"It's okay, my mommy says I can do this"... he likes to tell his nana and naw-na this when I am not around.

four.
This is his prayer before bedtime the other night. (after 4 days of a terrible stomach bug)
"Jesus, thanks for my day. Please don't make me throwed up anymore. I am really sick of it. And please let me stop pooping, my booty hurts. I don't want to be sick ANYMORE. Thanks. And Jesus, Have a good night. I Love You! Amen"

I'll keep posting to this as more come to mind. I have been telling myself I really should write these down so I wont forget them, but never remember to.

Our OLD House!

Well, after being patient with our ugly kitchen for a year and a half, We are very close to having it complete! Last week, before Jeremiah left, he got our counter tops and back splash finished. It is BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE it. We used granite tiles and then did a stone back splash! He did such a great job! And, that was part of my birthday present! Then, the beginning of this week, I got a wild hair and decided to paint over the chocolate brown walls! So now, we are GREEN! (I'm not at all afraid of color)-Did I mention I started painting at 9:30 on a Tuesday night? It took so much paint to cover that brown, but FINALLY it is done! Now, I should go buy some new things to put on top of the cabinets and a few things for the walls!

Ohh... and the first picture, Well Colson found my make-up and he decided to put a little on. It's not a boo-boo around his eye. (Just thought it would be a funny to throw in there!)

---What's Next?: Painting the brick on the outside! Stay Tuned! (it should be loads of fun!)w

Meet Tillie!

(she likes to play monster trucks with Colson)


So,we got a cat. She is 7 weeks old and super playful and sweet. We originally named her Berkley, but after a day of calling her that, and Colson not being able to remember it, I made the executive decision to change it to "Tillie", which is short for Matilda. She actually looks more like "Tillie". Ohh, Have I mentioned I still have not told Jeremiah about the new addition to our family? Apparently he is not much on them, but I decided we needed a low maintenance pet for a change, so here we are!

Swim Date

Colson and his cousin Makinley had a swimming date and they both look like they may have enjoyed it! They always have such a good time together, it never matters where they are!

Happy Birthday Colsie

Colsie is turning 3 this Sunday! It is so hard to believe he is already 3! We had his party at Pump-It-Up in Little Rock. All the kids had a blast, along with a few of us adults! Colson, to say the least, loved his "jumping party". Happy Birthday Colson!!

Thanks Everyone

Just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU to everyone who came to the Jean Party! I had a great turnout and got lots of great things!! Hope to have another soon! We had a great time!!!!!

FLW Tour Stop #5, Fort Loudon/Tellico Lakes

Stop #5 on the Walmart FLW Tour was to Knoxville, TN to fish Tellico/Fort Loudon.

Colson and I drove up with Kim Suggs and her 2 daughters, Whitney and Hallie, and Lindsey White, Co-Angler Stetson Blaylock's girlfriend. We had that Tahoe loaded down and we were off on Wednesday afternoon.

After getting to the lake on Thursday, we discovered that Jeremiah, Scott(Kim's Husband), and Stetson, all had a very good bag! We were so excited. At the end of Day 1, Jeremiah was in 13th place, Scott was in 11th and Stetson was in the Top 10 somewhere.

After Day 2, Jeremiah only had 2 fish, one was a 5 pounder and the other barely measured. Scott had 5 fish and Stetson had 5 fish. Stetson ended up in 7th place on the co-angler side, Scott ended up in 13th on the pro side, and Jeremiah ended up in 39th place. We were so close to making a Top 10, but luck was not on our side that day.

Stetson ended up fishing on Day 3 and finished 6 ounces out of 1st place and into 2nd place!

Here are a couple pics from our fun weekend!!

Rock On!

So, We had our 1st adventure to the ER tonight and Colson is 3. All in All that's nothing to complain about when your son is Evil Knievel!

Mom picked Colson up today at preschool and when she got there, he was crying. The director came over and told her she still could not figure out what was wrong, so she sent my nephew Braden over to figure it out, still no answer. After mom and Colsie got to her house and he had cooled off, she saw a scrape under his eye. So, we assumed that is what the problem was.

Later on throughout the night, Colson would scream and cry when I would try to wipe his face and his nose. At this point, I had noticed his nose was a little drippy, but Jeremiah had been complaining about his sinuses, so surely that's whats going on with Colson.

As I am putting Cols in bed, I see him pick his nose and of course, I got on to him and told him that was nasty. His response: "Mom, I gotta get dis rock outta my nose, It's hurting me!" Naturally I panic. After making 3 different phone calls to my mom, my mother-in-law and Jeremiah, we knew we had to take him to the ER.

On the way to the ER, I asked Colson if he put a rock in his nose and his reply was "Yep, I put a rock in my nose at my preschool today." and when I asked "Why?", he said the obvious answer, "Because I Did!"After 10-15 minutes in the ER, I look up his nose and see the tip of a freaking ROCK! After begging him to blow his nose, countless bribes, including going to get ice cream at 11pm on a Monday night, the nurse went to get some tweezers and we were just going to hold him down and get it out, one way or another. While she was gone, I told Colson to blow one more time and when I saw that wasn't going to get it out, I plugged the other nostril and made him blow. And to our surprise, HERE COMES THE ROCK!!!

So...Here are a couple pictures of Before the ER and After the ER!
