Is It Friday Yet?

This week is dragging on and on and on! I have to keep telling myself, "Only 2 more days! You can do it!" Today was pretty uneventful. Katy and the boys came over after school today. They ended up staying for a couple hours.

After Annistyn ate supper and took her bath, she was ready for bed. She was in bed before 6:30 tonight. I guess this back to school stuff is wearing her out, just as much as it is me.

Mama Karen said Annistyn had a big day today. The went to eat at IHOP and did a little shopping in Cookeville. That might be another reason why Annistyn is so tired at night. I'm definitely not complaining! I am so thankful Annistyn is such a GREAT sleeper! And she's so happy!

Happy, Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Josh and Natasha! They are the big 2-8 today! I had every intention of taking a picture of Annistyn and her daddy together on his birthday, but I didn't! So, instead, I took a picture of Annistyn in her "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" onesie.



Happy Birthday! We both love you so much!

I definitely get the WORST wife award! I didn't even get Josh a card or anything for his birthday! I had plans to this weekend, then yesterday, and then again after school today, but I didn't remember either day. I'm sure he will remind me daily for quite some time!

Rolls, Sweet Potatoes, and Sweet Tea

I feel like my weekends are SO short, and my weeks seem to last an eternity! Why can't the opposite be true? Monday mornings are my least favorite day! I always struggle getting out of bed on Monday mornings. It doesn't matter what time I go to bed on Sunday night, when Monday rolls around, I feel like I haven't slept in days! With all that said, I guess you've figured out how my day has gone!

I got this picture today from Karen while I was at work.



Tim and Karen went to Logan's for lunch today, so Annistyn got to join them. I'm just a little jealous. I had a school lunch today! Karen said Annistyn loved the rolls and sweet potatoes at Logan's. Tim said she loved the Sweet Tea! YUM!

After school today, we went by to see Grandmama. Tripp and Tucker were there too. Today was Tucker's first day of play school. He was so excited to go to "big" school with Tripp.

Crazy Weekend

It has been a crazy, busy weekend. Yesterday, I spent the morning/afternoon cleaning house and just playing with Annistyn. I've been missing her like crazy since school started back, so it was good to have a weekend where we could just play!

Tripp and Tucker came over a little after 3:00 to play. Layne and Makayla ended up coming to play as well. Tripp and Layne spent most of their time downstairs playing the wii. Once, when I went down to check on them, Tripp told me he wished our TV wasn't so big! Seriously, who wishes that? Makayla stayed upstairs and helped me out with Tucker and Annistyn. Tucker and Annistyn love each other so much. They are definitely best friends. They have to be touching at all times.




With my big cooking skills, I made all the kids fish sticks and french fries for supper! They were so excited. It's the little things in life! Everybody cleaned their plates, except Layne. He said he couldn't eat the french fries because they were too fattening! He said he would like some chocolate chip cookies instead.

Annistyn was so good at church this morning. When I picked her up from her Sunday school class, they just kept telling me how good she was. They said her favorite part of class was the singing. She took her Sunday morning nap during church.

This afternoon, Grandmama, Annistyn, and I went to a baby shower for Tatum. We are so excited for her and Justin. I can't wait to meet him. Annistyn may have a new boyfriend.



Annistyn is so close to crawling! I'm excited for her to be reaching another milestone, but I'm not sure I'm ready for the mobility.

Lastly, check out this CUTE Halloween shirt my mom made for Annistyn! (Melissa, I wish I could hear you read this last sentence out loud! I miss hearing you say "Halloween"!)

I LOVE Fridays!

It has been a very long week, and I'm so thankful it is Friday. I had nothing planned tonight but spending some time with my sweet little girl. As soon as school was over, we came straight home. My mom came by for a little bit, and Annistyn and I spent the rest of the afternoon playing.

This morning, Annistyn woke up looking really nice. She rubs her head on her bumper pads in her bed, so she has been having some crazy hair when she gets up.



This picture doesn't even do it justice. It was so much funnier in person. I laughed so hard at her!

Josh had the day off, so Annistyn spent the morning with her daddy! Josh took her to Averitt for a couple hours to show her off. He said she was so good! Then she went to Mama Karen's to play. Tripp and Tucker were there today, so I'm sure she had a big day.

Open House

I had to stay after school today for Open House. I hate having Open House the first week of school. Parents treat it like Parent-Teacher conferences. They come in and want to know all about their child. By this point, I'm doing good if I know their child's name!

Karen kept Annistyn later for me tonight! She's the BEST! She brought Annistyn to the Middle School with her to meet Garrett's teachers. One of his teachers told Karen that Annistyn looked just like Garrett! Karen told her that Annistyn wasn't her child!

By the time we got home, Annistyn and I only got to play about 10 minutes, and then she was ready for bed. I hate days like this! I miss her too much! Here are a few pictures from tonight.

Sweet Potato Fries

For supper tonight, I made Annistyn some sweet potato fries. She thought they were the yummiest things she has ever eaten. She ate them so fast, you would have thought she had not eaten in days.







They don't really look like fries, but that is because I cut them up into bite size pieces. I know how Annistyn is with food. She would cram the entire fry in her mouth if she could. I guess she's just like her mommy...She loves to eat!
