Catch Up!

 Best Friends at school!  :) 
 Thank you Aunt Leslie for our AWESOME cookies!  
 Reid loves to blow dry (really turned on!)  my hair!  and he likes to PRETEND to use the flat - "I-REN" (Flatiron!)  ha!!


Goodness, so the next few pictures show a very sick little boy.  1/5/15 evening, Reid was inconsolable.  NOT like my Reid.  He is very strong.  When he throws up he just says "Ok, me done"  but this night, he was NOT able to tell me what was up.  Finally after 4 hours of crying, I said "we are going to the ER"   We pack up about midnight, leaving Brian and Pierce at home.  Brian worrying himself silly.  On the WAY to the ER, bless Reid he throws up!  All over!  I stop on the side of the road to strip him.  When I get to the ER I have to take him in, in only his pull up and a blanket.  I FELT HORRIBLE!  Thankfully Methodist Germantown had JUST opened that week a new Kiddo ER.  We didn't even sit down, they instantly took us back.  They were so sweet.  They tried to use bubbles to make him settle down! He wouldn't let me put the hospital gown on him.  They took XRays.   They thought he had a small bowel obstruction.   THANKFULLY XRays showed clear as a bell.  His ears though, were a MESS!!  Not 6 hours earlier he had been fine, he ACTUALLY had dried my hair in the above picture.   It just amazes me how it can HIT at a blink of an eye.  We came home.  He threw up again on the ride home.  and continued to throw up until the next day.  I decided I didn't really feel comfortable with him NOT seeing Dr. Zeibarth so we set out the next morning to visit him!  He was worried, even said Reid was NOT himself.  They drew blood.  His white count was whack, something viral they said!  So, he had a HUGE UGLY ear infection AND a viral ick.  Double whammy!  Thankfully I had taken days off to organize my life (house) (which didn't end up happening because of all the sickness and then our poor MJs dad passed away too) so, I was so thankful that I could be home with him and get him better!  So, home from Dr Z's and in the Walgreens pharmacy line I am trying to pay for our meds while turned around in my seat helping Reid throw up in a bag!  I have the VOMIT MOBILE!  :)  Anyways. All is well now, he is feeling much better!  I just pray that is our BIG happening for the year!  :) 




 SWEET BOY BETTER!!
 Silly boy with his building blocks! 
 Pierce acting crazy!  :) 
 My Flower Arrangement!!
 His first Shower!  He has NEVER wanted to do it before!  :) 
 Oh man, on top of all the sickness we have had some car issues!  B's helpers with the tire!!

Marvel Live!!!

1/2/16
We went and saw Marvel Live at the FedEx Forum!
It was so much fun!  I think that I might have had a little more fun than the boys!  ha!
 Iron Man and Captain American escorted me to the show!  :)  
 Brian looks in distress, Pierce looks mad and Reid and I are gooooood!  :) 

 THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD!  Like "I am DONE with pictures Mom!!!





Then to Huey's for a burger afterwards!
OH and when Brian went to get the car, we met him around the corner, we were just standing there for a minute and two college age girls came walking by and Reid blew kisses at them!  They laughed so hard and I didn't realize what he did and they told me!  Whew, I have a character on my hands!! :)  Thanks boys for taking me with you!!!
I love you!!!!!

Paris Christmas!


We got to go be in Paris for New Years AND celebrate Christmas! (12/30/15 thru 1/1/16)
Poor Pierce.  His ears started hurting really bad.  We went to Urgent Care. 

Poor Reid.  He couldn't quit coughing.  Called the doctor for cough meds recommendations. 
But all in all I think they had a GREAT time.  I know I did!
John, Brian and I even got to go to the local brewery for a minute to get a growler for New Year's Eve!
There were presents galore!  and when we left Reid said "Thank you for opening presents" (instead of saying "thank you for my presents!")
AND we celebrated 2 birthdays while together!  Papa on December 30th and Dana on January 1st!  :) 
We were busy in our little time there! 
Thank ya'll so so so so much for letting us come and cause all kinds of confusion! 
We appreciate EVERYTHING everyone did!  

It was a wonderful Christmas AND Start to the New Year!
Come on 2016!  :)

WE LOVE YA"LL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
 Happy Birthday Papa!
The Lemon Pie I attempted to do like Mamaw.  Daddy said I did good, but I don't know, I think he was just being nice!!!  :) 



 Helping open presents!
 This made me laugh outloud!  It was like Reid was saying "yep, we got this!"  Thank you Nona for catching this funny photo!!


Presents were a whirlwind but so fun!
Reid was so excited this year!
Every present he would say "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyy Goooooodness!"  It was cute!!

I was laughing so hard at him, I didn't even think to get a video!  :) 

 Cute hats from Uncle John and Aunt Dana!  Pierce was excited when he opened his too!  



 The present of the year!  His very own "leaf" blower.  I mean, like it is real, it isn't a toy, it plugs in and blows wind, and blows wind really hard! ha!!!   Can you see his excitement??!  It was like that the rest of the time!!!
 Yep, Nona and Papa let him plug it in and USE it in the house!!  :) 
Then after that it was a whirlwind!  No more pictures until Celebrating Dana's Birthday!  
 :) 
Nona and Papa gave Pierce this fun "Bike"!! 
 and then the races were on!!!  :)  
Pierce couldn't wait to get back to Memphis to set up his cool HOT WHEELS track from Uncle John and Aunt Dana again, since we had already set it up once in Paris!  :)  



 Outtake from our family picture shoot!  :)
 Just a peaceful piece of heaven to me!  I love home and miss it so much!!!
