I am really enjoying my new position at the other office. It's VERY busy but the stress of someone breathing down my back is gone, the attorney I am working for here is much nicer. Life is pretty good right now. No major issues. Our tax refund was pretty good so we were able to pay off a lot of little bills. Garner is working on getting into nursing school. I'm practicing Addi's walking with her in the evenings which is fun. We all played legos last night. Garner and I watched the TN v Vandy game last night and were very happy Vandy won. Anyway, that is about it right now.

Update

Addi is pulling up and walking along furniture now. She is also waving and saying bye bye. Soooo cute, but growing up waaaay to fast! Collin is still a pistol! He is talking so much...sometimes I just want to yell "BE QUITE!!!"...but I don't. He has learned to drive his jeep really well so Garner took out the nail thing that keeps him from going fast and he can go 5mph now...kind of fast to walk beside. He loves that jeep. We hung out at the park this past weekend and he had a blast! Garner and I have decided we think we want one more baby...once Collin starts school and they are both potty trained...so in about 2 years. Anyway, that's all for now.

Simplicity

I deactivated my facebook acct, there are just waaay to many other things to do in my day to try and update that as well. I like this page better anyway. I don't have the time to really snoop into what everyone else is doing. I highly value simplicity so facebook gets the boot!

Sorry, been a while...

Where to start...Christmas was good. Addison had two teeth to start coming in so she was a little cranky and very clingy, but I didn't mind. I actually enjoyed her wanting no one but me. She is still pretty clingy. If someone puts their hands out to her to pick her up and I'm holding her, she turns into me and clings to my shoulder. She is crawling all over the house. She follows me around and she goes off exploring on her own too. She is pulling up onto her knees but has not made it all the way up to a standing position yet, although she loves to stand. She is currently 20 pounds and 12 ounces as of her 9 month check up. She is just beautiful and growing way to quickly. I am so sad to see my children grow so fast, especially since she is probably my last. Anyway, back to Christmas. She got a cabbage patch from Mommy and Daddy with the name "Addison" on it's birth certificate. She also got other various toys, dolls, cloths and books. Collin also got a lot of books, toys and his best gift was from Mommy, Daddy, PaPa, Aunt Jenni, Aunt Tina and Uncle Don. We all pitched in on a Jeep Wrangler Power Wheels. He was so excited and pitches a fit when he has to get off to come in. It's been a lot of fun. Addi rides in it with him. It has an actual radio, glove box, and cup holder. So cute! Collin is still doing well with Addi. He makes her laugh alot and it's nice how they entertain each other. He now can open the child safety knob on his door and is coming and sleeping in the floor of our room around 3 or 4 am. I'm just letting him. We have put a pallet down for him to stay warm. He's only little once and I don't want to spend my nights trying to get him to go back to his room. It's just not worth it. Addison is still sleeping well also. Oh, and Collin heard his Daddy say "crap" so guess what he tries to spit out now?? "CRAP"! I told Garner he better be more careful. When Garner said it and Collin repeated it for the first time we made Daddy go in time out. So Collin goes in time out when he says it too. It's still funny though, we have to restrain our laughter. Well, I'm at work, so gotta go, I know...I need to post pictures!! We have been so busy, I'll try to tonight. Buh Bye!

Addison's Big Day

Addison crawled yesterday! It was very exciting! She has been rolling and scooting everywhere but she actually did the opposing hand/leg crawl! She did it very slowly as if she were thinking about make every move perfect. It was so cute! Sad too, just another milestone closer to growing up...how I wish they could stay little forever! I took pics of the kids in front of the Christmas tree in their Christmas pj's yesterday morning. I will upload them over the weekend. In case no one hears from me before then, Merry Christmas!!

Time Out Teddy!

When Collin acts up, he is either punished with time out (nose to the wall) or a spanking with the wooden spoon depending on the severity of his crime. Well last night Garner was reading Collin a bedtime book in his room. When he was done reading, Collin realized he did not have teddy (his bear). So Garner said "Teddy must be hiding, go find him and tell him it's bedtime". So Collin finds teddy in the den and says "it's bedtime, you go in time out" with a real stern voice, I guess he thought teddy was purposefully hiding so he would not have to go to ged. Then he proceeds to put teddy nose first against the wall. It was so cute and funny, I called for Garner to come see what he was doing. Kids really do the darndest things!
