I Love My Boys!

Everyday I seriously think how lucky I am to have 2 wonderful men in my life (well one man and one little man). David and Trey bring me so much joy and I must say seeing a David take care of Trey is absolutely priceless. While I do not want to wish the time away I am really looking forward to the day when David and Trey will be able to really play with one another. David always says he does not know what we did without Trey before we had him (and I wholeheartedly agree). I am so glad to have these guys love and take care of me. I hope that I can always be a support system for both of them and be the best wife and mother I can be. These pictures are from Trey's 3 month pictures and will forever be treasured!

I do not like Apple Juice! YUCKY!

At our 4 month appointment with Trey, our doctor had said we could give Trey a little juice if we wanted to. We have waited and I had it in my head that I wanted to try and give him a little bit tonight. Trey made an awful face each time he tried it. He clearly knows where his bottle goes and can grab it and put his baba in his mouth. However this time he just was not feeling the juice. You think he just put a lemon in his mouth based on the faces he was making. I hate our pictures do not fully capture his faces but you can gather some idea. We are just going to have to work on it.

The picture next to Trey is of his Papaw,David Sr. when he was a baby! Any similarities?


Friday afternoon we were debating on what to do for the weekend. For once we did not have to travel out of town. We obviously cannot sit at home so we decided to drive to Sevierville and have dinner with Joan, AKA Nana Honey. We ended up staying all weekend and coming home on Sunday. Good food, family, friends, fellowship and help with Trey sure does make it easy to stay! On Saturday morning David and I were downstairs with Trey. I had fallen asleep, Trey had fallen asleep on David and all of a sudden we hear Aunt KaKa come in the living room. She and Uncle Joel were in Sevierville from Murfreesboro to spend the weekend since Uncle Joel had been traveling for work. Trey really enjoyed playing with KaKa as you can tell in the pictures. He was a trooper as he had the croup and had lots of people to pay attention to only him. Our spoiled child. At least he comes by in honestly!

Also on Saturday, Big Dave's sister Pam and her husband Larry were in from Ponce de Leon, Florida visiting family. This was the first time they had met Trey and were able to visit for a while! Aunt Devee and cousin Lexie came over as well. You can really see how much weight Devee has lost and how much she and Aunt Pam favor each other. Saturday night Uncle Kevin and Aunt Candace came over as well to watch some football and play with little man!

We had a great, relaxing weekend and are now ready for the hustle and bustle of the week!

I found my toesie woesies and my footsie wootsies!

Trey has been reaching for his feet recently and today he definitely found them. He has been pulling those feet up to his mouth as he likes to put basically anything he can into those chubby cheeks. He is truly a gift from God and a joy to have in our lives. It is so funny how quick I forget those sleepless nights when you get to enjoy watching him learn and grow by doing new things. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we enjoyed taking them.

P.S. Please notice Trey's shirt. I put this on him today as he was up from about midnight-3 a.m. last night!!

Poor Blue Raiders

On Tuesday, October 6th the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders took on Troy University in what was expected to be a good game for Big Blue. Boy were we wrong. Trey even wore is MT get up to school for the anticipation of the ESPN2 game. Hopefully we can recover and beat Mississippi State in a couple of weeks.

Celebrting 10 years... Carrie's High School Reunion

I cannot believe that it has been 10 years since I graduated from Red Bank High School. I have so many wonderful memories from those 4 years and was really looking forward to the event. I did not run for a class officer Senior year as they traditionally plan the reunion and figured that would be a lot for me. However I did end up assisting with a great deal of planning and getting everything ready. The reunion was a 2 day event that began with the Homecoming football game against Central. In addition to the reunion festivities, RBHS had all the former homecoming queens return to participate with the court this year. We walked out onto the field and were announced. I was excited David and Trey were able to meet people and see where I spent so many days and nights! On Saturday, I went to lunch with Amy LeVally whom I regularly keep up with and Morgan Scopetto whom I have not seen in about 8 or 9 years. We then went and decorated for Saturday night's event! Balloons, cake, confetti, superlatives, a DJ, etc. You name it, we had it and I think the event went well. It really was funny that you expect people to be so different. I have to say that while things change, it really is interesting how they stay the same! I was happy that I was able to see some people I have not seen in a while and if you are wondering I did bring home two superlatives- Most school spirit and the girl who lived up to her high school superlative (most popular). We were fortunate to have Casey Stuart Blazek's in laws keep Trey while we went out and celebrated the evening! I did miss my little man and was excited to see him upon our return.

Trey 4 month appt

David and I took Trey to the doctor on Thursday, October 1st for his 4 month check up. He is definitely a growing boy and weighed 16 lbs even and is 25 1/4 ft. long. The doctor thought he was developing great and was even a little ham! He can charm people most definitely. He did absolutely wonderful for the visit right up until the nurse came in to give him his shots. He started screaming crying before she ever started. I think he knew what was coming. He did great and is excited to head to Chattanooga tomorrow for my 10 year high school reunion!
