Great News!!!

Great news!!! I have been able to up my graduation date to May 2008! Almost there!

Let the birthday celebrations begin

Dylan's birthday celebrations began tonight at Nana and G-daddy's house. We had a Mexican feast! Dylan got 4 new Pokemon toys, which he went crazy over! Just 4 more days and our baby boy will be 7!

Valentine's for our Angel Cedie

We bought Cedie some flowers for February last Sunday. Dylan and I agreed on roses but couldn't decided on red, pink, or white. So, we bought some of each! Dylan also picked out a pink heart decoration that says "I Love You" for her Valentine's Day present. There are more pictures on her blog.

Tornados!

Super Tuesday took on a whole new meaning for Memphis this week. We had a reported 9 tornados pass through our city over an 8 hour period. The National Weather Service called the super cell that hit Tuesday, a significant and rare event. Although our part of town was mostly unhurt (a miracle considering the sky/clouds/rain we saw from our door) other parts were not so lucky. They are still determining the death toll but last I heard it was 9. A mall was hit hard, taking the majority of Sears out. Pieces of Sears were found in Bartlett (where we are - approx. 30 min away) and in Arlington (approx. 45 min. away). Many lost their homes and thousands lost electricity. The TN governor and Pres. Bush will have both come to survey the devastation.

Luckily, our guardian angel Cedie watched over us and kept all of our family and friends safe. Chris' nephew is a student at Union University which was almost completely destroyed but he remained unharmed as well.

Its been a busy month!

I was finally able to take some time to update our blog with some pictures and news of what we have been up to this month (see the below 1/10 to 1/30 entries). We've had 3 birthday parties, 5 birthdays, 4 basketball games, Pine wood Derby, cub scout meetings, basketball practice and pictures, RAs and choir practice, started a school fundraiser, and had a family fun day with Nana and G-daddy! Also, I've started my last full semester of college (with tons of homework and studying already), Dylan got another great report card, and Chris has gone on a couple 4-wheeler trips.

With February comes Dylan's birthday, his party, his last 3 basketball games, his basketball banquet, Valentines Day, and more school! Hopefully I will be able to keep our blog fans updated more regularly! Stayed tuned!

And thank you for continuing to check on our family through this blog, even when I am behind on the posts! Your continued support means alot to us!

Happy Birthday Chris!

Today is Chris' birthday!!!
Happy Birthday to the best daddy & husband in the world!!!

Dylan vs Grant

Today's basketball game was great! Dylan played against Grant's (his so called "God-brother) team. We really weren't sure how these two would do playing for opposite teams but it went great. It was a really close game but Dylan's team won by 2 points (14-12). Once the game was over, they were still best buddies- Dylan even gave Grant the snack that one of his teammates passed out to their team after the game.

Grant is the green #1, Dylan is the red #4

<--Wrong team Dylan!
I'm not sure why Dylan has such a goofy expression!
