The depressing 30

Ok, so as a little child I use to think that 30 was old and here I am.....I'm 30!  I did have a good birthday with the boys and Dave.  On Wednesday nights I go up to the gym and work the girls out in the weight room.  When I got home my boys had surprised me with a birthday cake!  Dave had secretly went to the store and bought a cake mix and him and the boys made their own designed cake.  They were so proud of it when I got home.


Beautiful isn't it?  Even though it may not be the prettiest, it did taste good.  As I was looking at it I noticed that it said Happy Birthday Momm.  I asked where the Y was .........and well...... Tucker ate it before I got home!  Tripp found little basketball men in the cabinet and put in place.  I love these little guys and they made for a great birthday or celebration the day before because the real day I had to go to work and then to class and missed the little guys all day.  My hubby actually did good this year, not that he doesn't in the past but he has surprised me with iphone and ticket to see Sugarland!  Yay so pumped. Love you Babe!

If we could only play outside all day everyday...

Today was absolutely beautiful!  After Tripp had tee-ball, I ran a few errands, and we ate lunch...the boys and I went to the PLAYGROUND!  We had so much fun playing just the 3 of us! Here are a few pictures of our day.

 Tucker's favorite thing to do!  Tripp was nice enough to ride with him for couple minutes!


 Tucker didn't want to look at me today for any pictures!  ha ha


 Here they were racing to see which went faster.  The Tiger or the Dolphin!  Looked like a tie!



 Tripp and I played states.  I would have to say a state and its color and Tripp would try to guess where it was and stand on it!


 Tucker went down the BIG slide!


 Tripp's favorite thing, TO CLIMB!!!!



After we left the playground we went by sonic of course to get blue slushies and then off to visit with Grandmamma.  We sat outside around the pool and drank our slushies.  Even though the boys thought it was warm enough to swim they had to settle for playing in the rocks, which they made a huge mess!  Sorry Granddad and thanks Grandmamma for helping clean up!  :)  We are all worn out so came home for a short rest. (so wish it could have been longer)  Now, waiting on Daddy to get home so we can go back outside for some more playtime.  These boys LOVE being able to play outside!

The Last Couple Weeks...

So we are finally on our "mini" Spring Break!  These last couple weeks have been pretty busy, exciting, tiring, and shocking.   My classes have been very busy with several lengthy assignments and presentations due.  The excitement of watching my boys grow every day.  They are getting so big and fill our lives with so much joy and laughter everyday.  Tripp's big excitement for the week was getting another puck at the Predators game which now makes his 5th puck.  He's so lucky!  Don't know what we will do when he actually attends a game and doesn't get one.  Tucker and I got to stay home and play with all Tripp's legos since he wasn't home!  More excitement was last week we had to dog sit for my parents and stayed at their house all week.  Pros where actually living in town, bigger house for the boys to play, and eating all their food. lol Cons of the week were the bad storms that caused pool to about overflow, big tree limbs in the yard down, remembering the dogs meds twice a day, taking the dog out several times, and having it follow you around everywhere. lol  After finally getting home I've been very tired this week with lack of sleep not being in my own bed and from staying up late to work on assignments.  Also I have been very tired due to our shocking news that most know about now that we are expecting our 3rd child.  Yes, I know we were very shocked as well!  So I am 11weeks now and if we are going to be consistent then the baby will be a boy, born on Oct.1, with weighing 8.15lbs, and be 21 1/2 inches long.  ha ha ha Actually we don't find out what the sex is until May 13th, but Tripp has already said he would like a sister since he already has a brother.  He would like to name her Lassie.  He  said if it was a boy that he likes Max! lol he's so funny!  So this weekend has been full of March Madness and we are loving that you can watch every game on direct!  Man my bracket is shot to pieces though!  Well, I better call it a night because we have tee-ball practice at 9 in the morning.  Yes the only team that practices at 9 on Saturday mornings and we are on it! yay!  Sorry no pics on this post...I'm slacking!

Tucker's 1st trip to the ER

Today I get a call from Play School to find out Tucker has fell and hurt his nose.  So I went to get him and then we went to the doctor's office and then on to the ER!  Sad thing is that I had just left work and didn't even think about grabbing my wallet out of my office and didn't have anything with me like insurance card, social security, etc.  Well, since we were just there a couple months ago with Tripp they had all our info in the computer.  I told them with my two boys they might want to just keep me a file going.  So Tucker was really good getting XRays and his nose is not broken, thank goodness!  Here is Tucker while we are in the waiting room.  Even though his nose is swollen he's still the cutest thing ever!

"On the GO"

     So, over the last few days I've been really on the "GO".   Starting off with last Friday night was  ending up District play for WCHS as we ended up being CO-CHAMPS!
     Then, Saturday morning we go up and got pumped for Tripp's big "Upward" basketball game!

He eats his pre game egos and gets pumped up with his favorite song "Dynamite" on his ipod.  It's like he is 5 going on 15.  Tripp had another outstanding game I might add I won't be the crazy parent who quotes the stats but I might say they were impressive lol!
     After Tripp's game the boys went to spend the day at Grandmamma's and Granddad's house.  Corrie and Kayli were in town as well.  They spent the afternoon making delicious Valentines cookies.

Dave and I went to Nashville with some friends to the Predators game.  I have several pictures from our fun fun afternoon/night but I'm married to Chandler Bing of photography and he won't let me display our pictures but here are a few!  So Dave loves to embarrass me when we go out!  So we go to eat at Margaritaville and while waiting on a table, listening to a live band, he starts yelling loudly "FREEBIRD"!  Wow!  Then of course while eating they play all Jimmy Buffet music and videos and he seems to treat it as it's a live concert and sing loudly he he he.  So after dinner we are walking toward the arena and Dave starts yelling, "KING, KING, KING...Elvis turns around and Dave asks can I have my picture made with you?"  Another wow!

Side note: Dave is back tonight at the Preds game and he ran into this same guy and got another pic made but told me I wasn't allowed to post it but it's GREAT!

So we get inside to our seats and find out that we are sitting next to Carrie Underwood's box.  Yes, don't know who was more excited Dave or myself!  lol  Across from the arena were our friends who went to the game: Pistol, Beaty, her sisters, Brent, Justin, Kirsty, and Steven.  If you look at the guy in bright yellow they are siting in that row to the left of him.
It was a very exciting game and the Preds pulled it out!  Then to top off the night we stopped at Pistol's favorite place Buffalo Wild Wings!  Fun Times!
     Ok, so my favorite event that happened over the past week was on Sunday.   Sunday morning Tripp had his 1st job in morning service!  He had to pick up the attendance cards during the closing song.  I can't believe he is old enough to do this!  Tripp did a great job, so proud of him!
     After church, I took my Grandmother, Pet, to see the Lady Vols play at Vanderbilt with the Warriorettes.  She had so much fun I believe.  Game started off slow but exciting 2nd half!  I also got to see one of my famous teammates that I played AAU with, Ashley McElhiney and her mom Sandra.
Then, on Monday night Senior Night for the Warrior's and Warriorettes as we hosted Lebanon in Roy Sewell Gymnasium.  As soon as the game was over I had to rush to TTU for my Monday night class for the final hour of class.
     Tuesday night, Coach Haley, gave the girls a day off from practice since we don't play again til Saturday and we took the girls bowling.  Yes bowling something I have done very seldom in my life! lol As the 1st game I struggled and kept getting my thumb stuck in the bowling ball and only tallied a score of 79.he he hehe!  The second game it was very neck and neck between the coaches but Beaty ended up winning with a 113, 111 for me, and 106 for Coach Haley.
Coach Haley's last bowl....wishing a few more would fall down.  I didn't say we were great bowlers but I will have to admit some of our girls had good scores.  Allyson had highest I believe with 142.
     So Wednesday I can't talk!  Sleepy yes for 2days I wanted to sleep all day long!  I am feeling better now!
     The girls had a good practice this afternoon and then I had my fun Thursday night philosophy class.  It is really boring.  I like my Monday night but Thursday night is killing me!  Now I'm in a bind thought with what to do with tournament games coming up and me having classes on nights that aren't originally game nights......yep going to games for sure and then just hoping I can still pass.  Here's a big one though we will for sure play this Thursday night in the Region and I have a midterm!  yep Fun Stuff!
     Okay this is a long post but this is what has been going on in the last week!  :)
