This...Is American Idol

The American Idol Tour made a stop in Knoxville last night. Mom and Dad took Corrie, Katy, and Me.




We had so much fun! There were lots of laughs and memories made. The concert was amazing as well. It's crazy how much each one had improved even since the show.

After swimming lessons this morning, Annistyn and I came on home to get some things done around the house. After her nap, Tucker came over to play for a bit. He loves Annistyn so much!



He even helped give Annistyn her bottle.



We had a pretty good day! I did have to get on to Tucker once. While he was drinking his milk, he got a mouth full, went to Annistyn, and spit it in her face! YUCK! The sad part...Annistyn thought it was hilarious!

Annistyn was worn out by the time Tucker left.



Annistyn got to eat squash for supper tonight. This is how Annistyn feels about squash night!



Poor Annistyn had a rough time going to bed tonight. She was not happy at all. I gave her a little medicine, and we rocked for about 30 minutes or so. You know she doesn't feel well when she lets you rock her! I think her mouth is bothering her, but it only seems to bother her at night. I am definitely not complaining! I hate that she feels bad, but I LOVE when she snuggles and lets me rock her!

Playing Catch-Up

I am a little behind with my blogging. We had a very busy day yesterday. Yesterday morning, we went to Tripp and Tucker's house to play while Katy taught swimming lessons. Then, we came home, at lunch, and took a little nap. After Annistyn's nap, Annistyn went to play with Grandmama and Kayli, while Corrie and I went and did a little shopping in Cookeville. When we got back, Annistyn and I went home and ate supper. After I put Annistyn to bed, I went and watched Dear John with mom, Katy, and Corrie.

Today was just as busy as yesterday. We went and played with Tripp, Tucker, and Kayli during swimming lessons. After swimming lessons, Annistyn and I swam for a little while.

After Annistyn's nap, she woke up with a red, watery eye. Her nose began running too. She also has another tooth on the bottom trying to poke through. Needless to say, she had a rough night. She wasn't feeling too great. I gave her some Motrin, and she went right to sleep. I hope she is feeling better tomorrow.

You Can't Handle the "Tooth"

Annistyn has a tooth that is starting to pop through. You can see the tip of it popping through her gums. I will miss those big gummy smiles when she has teeth, but I'm sure I'll love those big smiles full of teeth just as much!

We spent the day at Grandmama's and Granddaddy's with Corrie, Katy, and kids. Alex left today for church camp, and Corrie and Kayli are staying the week. We had a good day, but I'm sure Grandmama and Granddaddy are enjoying the quietness after we left!

This afternoon, Annistyn tested out one of Grandmama's sippy cups. She did okay with it, but I really think she just liked to chew on it.




After Annistyn ate breakfast, Kayli wanted to read one of her library books to her. It was so sweet. Annistyn was too busy trying to either eat the book or grab the pages. Kayli was getting frustrated because Annistyn wasn't listening to her!

Encores and More

Grandmama picked up me and Annistyn around 8:00, and we headed to Nashvegas. We met up with Katy and Corrie and went to the Encores and More consignment sale. It was very hot and very crowded! We even had to wait in line outside just to get in. When we got all of our goods, we went to stand in line to check out, and the line was forever long. While we were waiting in line, we spotted some familiar faces. Annnistyn saw her boyfriend, Garrett!



It was so good to see little Garrett and Melissa! I miss seeing her everyday! While we were talking to Melissa, some nice lady came up to us and gave us a free pass to go to the front of the line! It was very nice.

Annistyn was worn out from all the shopping!



She slept until mom and I got to about Mt. Juliet. We stopped in Mt. Juliet to get a bite to eat. Mom and I went to Panara to get a salad. Annistyn sat in the big girl high chair!



Why is she getting so big, so fast? I can hardly stand it! We had a great day, but we are both worn out!

Date Night

Ok, so again I have no pictures of my child to post today! What is wrong with me?

After swimming lessons today, my mom and dad watched Priss while I went to lunch with some friends from work. It was nice to be away for a little bit!

When I got back, Tucker came over to play. Katy and Tripp went to Nashville Shores for the day, so Tucker and Annistyn spent the day playing together. Annistyn was past ready for a nap when we got home, so Annistyn napped, and Tuck and I went outside to play for a few minutes.



It was so HOT! We only stayed outside for about 15 minutes. Tucker loved driving the car around. He especially loved tooting the horn.

When we came back inside, Tucker was all tuckered out. He fell asleep like this on the couch.



At first, I thought he was playing, but he was really asleep!

While Annistyn at supper, Josh mowed our yard. Then we went on a date to Wal-Mart and El Tap. Okay, so I had El Tap twice in one day, but who's keeping up? Even though it was past Annistyn's bedtime, she was still perfect. She didn't make a sound! We are beyond blessed with such a sweet little girl!

Hot as Blue Blazes!

As I sit here and type this, it is hot as blue blazes both outside and inside. Our air conditioner is not working, and it is 85 degrees in here! Josh has gone to Wal-Mart to buy some new fuses. We hope it's just a blown fuse! Ugh! We need to get rid of fuses!

This morning, Tucker threw a fit and wanted to wear Annistyn's bib! He wore it all morning long. Tripp and I both tried to take it off for him to nap, but Tuck wasn't having it. He had to keep it on!



Nothing like playing with army men while you wear a pink girly bib!

Katy, Tripp, and I ate lunch outside. I felt a few sprinkles, so I went inside. Katy and Tripp decided to stay outside. As soon as I got in, it became a monsoon. Katy and Tripp got stuck in it! They wanted me to bring them an umbrella, but I couldn't find one. I did, however, find a raincoat in a pouch, and I threw it to Katy!




There's nothing new with Annistyn today! I didn't even get a good picture of her today!

A Little Exercise

While we were at Grandmama's and Granddaddy's during swimming lessons this morning, Annistyn was so close to crawling. She thinks she is as big as Tripp and Tucker!




She is getting so big, so fast!

After lunch, we came home and took a nap and played. While Annistyn slept, I made her some more squash to freeze. Somebody had given Josh some squash from their garden, and I needed to make it before it went bad.

When Annistyn woke up, she had a snack, and then we went downstairs to exercise a little. While I was on the treadmill, Annistyn "exercised" in her jumpy seat.




She was concentrating so hard on the toys, that I couldn't even get her to look at me!
