Picture Tag

I was tagged by Nicki to play along.

The object of the picture tag is to:
1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder
3) Explain the picture
4)Tag 4 people to do the same
NO CHEATING! (cropping, editing, etc!)

I do not know many people who actually blog...and the ones I already know have been tagged, so I will just post the picture and explanation...


This picture was taken last February when it snowed for the first time in forever in Tupelo.  Hannah was super excited to see the snow.  She doesn't really match, as you can tell!  We just threw something warm on and went outside to play!  Also, she has red eyes in this picture...

Three Years Ago Today...

Three years ago my life was changed completely.  I said "forever" to Scott as a husband and Hannah as a daughter---immediately became wife and mom...since then life has been full of craziness, laughter, and love.  I have been so blessed to have someone to love and respect me to spend the rest of my life with!  Below is one of the first pictures taken of us as a married couple, on our honeymoon at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, TN, in December 2005.  Under that is one of the most recent pictures of us taken on Thanksgiving 2008.  







Today Scott surprised me at work.  There was an all-call on the intercom for Mrs. Burns to go directly to her classroom.  Wow...that only happens when something major is going on!  I rushed to get to my room, however it took a while because I was completely across the building! When I got to my room Scott was sitting at my table with beautiful flowers and Mexican food for lunch!  How sweet!  It was absolutely perfect!

I wouldn't trade my life for anything.  I absolutely adore him and Hannah.  They make my heart smile...nothing is better than that!

 Happy Anniversary, Scott.  I love you.

Good Times with Friends

This past weekend was so busy!  We had a surprise party for my dad on Saturday, then Scott had to leave immediately to go DJ another party!  He did not get finished with his party until close to midnight, so we decided to spend the night in Columbus again.  We had all intentions of leaving early Sunday morning, but we could not get up, so we left in time to get back for church--missing Sunday School.  Well, Hannah was out the entire way back home--and still in her pj's, so I decided to let her stay home to sleep--truth is I wanted to sleep too!  I was beginning to get grouchy from lack of sleep--yes, I admitted it!  Scott went to church, and we rested.  Bart and Andi, friends of ours from church, invited us over for Chili.  Carson, their son was cheesing for the camera, until Scott wanted to take pictures of him in front of the Christmas tree...he decided he didn't care too much for that!  I think Scott managed to get a few cute pictures of him.  





By this point he was not interested in cheesing it up for the camera!


After we ate yummy chili, Hannah decided to massage my shoulders!  I think she may have a career in massage therapy ahead of her!  I am not sure what I was talking about, but I am sure it was important!  Andi is in the corner of this picture. 


Kasie and Cody were also over at Bart and Andi's.  Kasie and I graduated High School together and were roomies at Northeast Community College.  We were attached at the hip the majority of our middle and high school years!  We both kind of went our separate ways after Northeast, but somehow, Kasie ended up in Tupelo!  So now her and her husband go to church with us and we get to see a girl's night almost every week!    Kasie wanted to be on the blog, so here you go Kasie!  The only pictures Scott took of her Sunday were her making a face...the first one is her bringing her hands up to make a face, and I am sticking out my tongue!  Not the most glamorous picture--and a little blurry!


Close up of the silly face...


One last picture of the little man!


We somehow managed to not get any pictures of the husbands, probably because they were stuck in front of the television watching football!  Oh well, maybe next time!

After we ate chili, I had to rush off to get ready for our Christmas program.  It turned out to be really good.  Below is a picture of the choir.  You can't see me, but I am on the left hand side, front row.  We didn't do our typical Christmas program, but I really enjoyed the music this year!

This past weekend we went to Columbus.  Scott had to DJ two parties, one being my dad's surprise birthday party!  

The tradition of the typical Saturday morning at Nana and Papaw's is to have pancakes for a late breakfast...this all started because Nana made them once for Scott and since then he hinted around until she began making them just about every time we came. Hannah loves pancakes as much as her daddy...She woke up saying that she had a dream about pancakes--I think this was more of a hint--just as her dad would have done!  This Saturday was a little bit more hectic than usual, because we were trying to get everything ready for the party, so our breakfast was cereal.  After Hannah ate a bowl of cereal she was kind of walking around like she really wanted something, and finally asked!  Nana mixed all the ingredients and let Hannah have her turn at cooking them.  She did a pretty good job!  Here are a few pictures of the chef in training!
