Big boy bed

Well we finally had to make the big boy bed change last night. I really wanted to wait as long as possible before we converted his crib to a toddler bed, but it had to be done.
The last 3 mornings Landon has crawled out of his crib and has walked into our bedroom only to be woken up to him yelling mommy in my face. Since he has done that the last few days we might as well change his bed and see how it goes.

Not happy when he could not play with the camera


Ready to go nite nite


He did pretty good last night. He was up at 3am looking for us and then up again at 6am ready for the day. It was my turn to sleep in. Sorry daddy ;o)

We will see how it goes

Trick or Treat

Look what came in the snail mail today


Landon's new PBK's trick or treat bag. Love all things monogrammed.
Now if we can only decided on what he is going to be this year. Any suggestions?


Can't blog without a picture of little man


Hope you have a great Labor Day weekend. We have something to do everyday.
Fall is right around the corner

Home sweet home

Jason and I had the opportunity to visit my hometown of Chattanooga, Tn this weekend. We met at UTC and moved to Nashville after graduation. Anyways, Jason's fraternity had a alumni function saturday night so we left Landon with the grandparents and headed to Chattanooga. First we meet some friends for dinner

Shannon, Alicia, Emily and I. Shannon and I met in middle school. Alicia, Emily and I met in high school. So we all have been friends for at least 15 years or more


Alicia, Emily and I were all in each others weddings




Jason and I


After dinner we walked to Chattanooga cupcakes. O my word it was so GOOD!!







So cute!!


We headed to our hotel room around 1:30am. I have not been up that late since Landon was a newborn. I was a trooper and kept going. haha ;o)

This morning we drove to our alma mater, UTC



So much has changed since we graduated 6 years ago. New buildings are going up everywhere. When I was a student we had around 5,000 students. Today they have 10,000 students.

We drove by my old sorority house. ADPi's have been in this lodge since the 1960's. They recently sold the building to UTC and are building a new house that can be lived in


Lot where the new house will be built soon


Fraternity and sorority recruitment was this past week. We drove by Patten Chapel and running out the doors was going on. This is where the freshman going through recruitment accept their bid into a sorority and run out the doors to the sorority they choose. I did this 10 years ago. I cant believe it has been 10 years. It's so fun and very exciting. I will never forgot my time at UTC

Running out the doors


We headed home early. We were missing Landon like crazy. It was great seeing old high school and college friends and visiting our old Alma mater, but I had my time there and Im loving my life right now.

Lesson learned

I had another lesson learned experience this morning with Landon.
I was leaving Landon at Jason's parents house this morning so I could do some errands. I left the car on to get the AC going while I put the car seat in another car. I knew Landon was in the front seat "driving" and playing with the buttons. All the sudden I heard the car door slam shut. At that moment I just knew he locked the car. I went to check the doors and sure enough he locked all the doors with our little dog locked inside. So my car was running with all the doors locked and Zoey locked inside. OMG!! What do I do? We were not home so I did not have a spare key. The AC was on so I knew Zoey was OK, but the car is running and I have no key. I called the police station and its illegal for them to unlock cars so I had to call a lock smith. The lock smith came and within 2 minutes had my car unlocked. Lesson learned.

Marker Madness

Look who got into the sharpie again


Showing his art work on his nose



This boy LOVES to color


No matter how hard I hide the markers he still seems to find them.

On another note;

The new coffee table went back to American Signature today. I LOVED the table and it is so my style, but the color was way off. Compared to our couch and the entertainment center it looked to black. Since I have to look at it every day and pay for it, I want to be happy with my choice so it went back. I'm still on the look for a new table that matches just right. So this is what I'm looking at now.




I had to show my new pillows. I found these at Ross. The blue and green matched perfectly in our new living room.

My boys!!

Landon really LOVES his daddy and daddy really LOVES Landon. These guys are two peas in a pod. When Jason comes home from work Landon yells "daddy daddy" and runs to the back garage door. Here are a few pictures of Landon and daddy hanging out.

Just being CUTE!!


Happy weekend!

New couch and coffee table

I feel like we have finally completed our living room. We started painting in January and bought our flat screen in February. We have been working on the room since then. The couch was our last purchase and it was delivered today along with our new coffee table.

We picked a chocolate brown couch with carmel cording. It's ALL pillows and very comfy.



The table may go back. When I looked at it in the store I was trying to match our entertainment center. When it arrived today it so does not match. The table looks more black compared to the couch and entertainment center. I'm going to sleep on it tonight. We will see.

We bought both pieces at American Signature Furniture. It feels nice to finally have the room completed. Next on my list is painting our guest bathroom walls and trim. I love home improvement projects!!
