Crazy Busy

I have been trying to spend as much time with Miss Priss this week as possible. My life is about to get CRAZY BUSY! Grad school starts back this week. I have class on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Basketball starts next week. We have tryouts the end of next week, and then we will have either practice or a game every single day, Monday-Friday! Oh, and did I mention Josh starts his new job next week! That's right, the job where he will be traveling and out of town Monday-Friday! I just hope that I am so busy I don't even realize how crazy my life is. I will be spending every single second possible with Annistyn! I really hope I can have enough discipline to get all my grad. school work done at night when Annistyn is sleeping! If I can do this, then I won't have to waste any of my weekend time on homework when I could be spending it playing with a cute and funny little girl.

Annistyn Says "NO"...Well, Kinda

Well, it was our typical Sunday morning. Sunday school, then nap through church. Annistyn napped...not me! After church, we had planned to go spend some time with Grandmama at the pool.

Annistyn did not want to take a nap after lunch, so I thought she might want to swim. We got our swimsuits on and went to get in the pool. I hadn't been in the pool in a couple weeks or so. I had no idea how cold it had gotten! It was freezing! I ended up sitting with my feet in, and Annistyn sat on the step and played. The bitter cold didn't seem to bother her. I only let her play for about 10 minutes.

I thought for sure she would take a nap after this, but still no! We decided to come on back home, and then she went right to sleep. Go figure. While Annistyn was napping, her Pa, Nana, and Aunt Sidney came to visit. After visiting for a little bit, Annistyn was still sound asleep. They came back later and got to spend some time with Priss. She was so good today after she finally took her nap. She started shaking her head "no" today. If you ask her something, she shakes her head. I love that girl!

Click, Click, Click

Josh had to work today, so Annistyn and I spent the day at home. We didn't go anywhere all day. We did a lot of cleaning and a lot of playing. When we were playing this afternoon, I was clicking my tongue. Annistyn thought it was so funny. After a while of me doing this, she started to copy me. It was so funny!

Consignment Sale

After school today, I drove to Nashville to go to the Otter Creek Consignment Sale. I think Annistyn is now set for winter. I got about 15 outfits, 2 pairs of shoes, and a couple gifts to put up for Kayli. My grand total...$88! I was so excited! I love consignment sales! About 95% of all Annistyn's clothes are either consignment deals or hand-me-downs.

After the sale, I went and picked up Alex. He rode back to Sparta with me. It was nice to get to spend a little time with him. I miss that guy.

While I was in Nashville, Priss was spending even more time with her Mama Karen. I missed her like crazy today, but Annistyn didn't mind one bit. They spoil her rotten! Karen sent me this picture of Emily and Annistyn.

Chinese Kissing

While Annistyn and I were playing after school today, she kept wanting me to pull her up and let her stand holding my hands. After she did this for a little while. I decided to see how she would do standing up and holding onto the couch. She thought it was so funny. She stood there for quite a while.



She was so excited. I couldn't get a good picture, because she wouldn't be still. This picture makes me want to cry just a little bit. She is growing way too fast!

When Josh got home from work, we decided to go eat Chinese. As soon as we walked in, the little Chinese lady that was seating us, grabbed Annistyn from Josh's arms. She was just loving and kissing on Annistyn. I didn't know quite how to react. Throughout the entire time we were there, she would come over and kiss on Annistyn. It was just a little awkward!

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!
