Fall 2008















































Hope you enjoy these Fall 2008 pictures. It seems like I have no time between work, kids, husband and getting my Master's. I know most everyone else is in the same boat, too! Just glad football is finally over for Rusty and we can spend more time together with the kids around the holidays! Also looking forward for our trip to Disney over Thanksgiving!

It's Patriot Football Time in Tennessee!!!











Well I am so proud of Rusty and all the coach's at East for giving us some great football to go watch on Friday night. It's like I am addicted - I have to go. I remember being sick not feeling good last year and it raining and me and Christy deciding we just had to go to Davy Crockett. The boys love it and love all the players at East because they went with Rusty all summer and really got to know them. The first game they were nervous because they got to run out behind the team for the first time. Now they can't wait until next Friday. GO PATRIOTS!

What to do on Race Weekend?











Well for the past four years this has been the question because Rusty is at the race track from sun up to sun down working for East. We decided to take my Mom and Grandma Izzy to Bays Mountain on Friday. We had a good time but Nick wasn't in the best of moods. Rusty's Grandparents and Cousin drove all the way from Iowa to use my race tickets cause we never get to go because Rusty has to work. They loved it and they came over for dinner on Sunday night before heading home. Jackson and Nick had fun playing hot hands with cousin Brad!

Nick goes to Kindergarten

Well Nick went today for his first official half day at Holston. No I did not cry....although Nick did tell me not to walk with him or hold his hand because he was a big boy...so that makes me want to cry! He got Mrs. Morarti and she was the grade above me in high school and volunteered to help her dad coach one of the t-ball teams at Central Heights this past summer. She knows Nick from there and pre-k. She calls him the all-star because they went undefeated this summer and won the championship by the slaughter rule. I hate to say it because of Rusty, but I believe Nick's sport is baseball. She also likes East Football because her dad played for them when they were not so good and of course Nick lets everyone know his daddy is a coach for East. Nick was very upset when he heard he couldn't go back the rest of the week and that he was staying until only 12. Jackson has Mrs. Millsap and she seems to be great! I am just excited my kids love school and actually want to go and get upset when they can't because I am sure a few years down the road this will all change!

Happy 2nd Birthday Bryce!!!

Bryce turned two on July 25th. I am going to try and find some baby pics and post them with his birthday from Hands On Museum! Peyton Nelson was born the same day so we went to her 2nd birthday party on Friday and had lots of fun! Peyton and Bryce also go to CHUMPS together and are in the same class. Audrea threw them a party on Thurs. at CHUMPS but I couldn't get there because of the wreck - I mean I didn't even get my rental until after 5!!! The best they could give me was a Jeep Patriot but its suppose to fit three car seats?? Yeah right! Thanks, Audrea for being Bryce's 2nd mommy on Thursday!!!

The week from H*** is Over!!!

Well this week started off really bad! We are finishing an extra room that attaches to Jackson's and Nick's room. Well there was sheet rock dust everywhere and I decided Friday night after going to Splash Country with Christy and Chloe I would clean for 2 hours. Well when I woke up I couldn't hardly move but we were going to the Doe River Gorge with church and I really wanted to go. Well after lunch I couldn't take it anymore and had to leave I couldn't move! I spent the rest of Sat. and all day Sun. in bed. I went to the doctor on Mon. and he gave me some pain pills and muscle relaxers. Well I was feeling better until my way to Church Wed. when somebody side swiped us on Catawba! It scared me to death it hit right on Bryce's side and we couldn't even get the door open. He drove off and then his axle and tire fell off his Dodge Ram so he had to stop. I was sick to my stomach and my back hurt worse. I was actually shaking and didn't know what to do because all three kids were screaming and crying. I just want to say Thank You so much to Ray Fletcher who was the first to stop. Ralph Nelson also came to help and ended up taking all three kids with him to church and then home with him. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you... you and Christy are our angels...Rusty was just walking in to his master's class at Tusculum in Boones Creek but left when I called him. I also am sooo glad I had Onstar and suggest anyone who can have it keep the subscription because when that guy nailed us everything flew up into the floor everything in my purse and diaper bag. Before I could even unbuckle and check the kids Onstar was talking to me. After this experience I count my blessings because I thought he was going to hit us head on. I also had to have an EMG on Friday so having needles and shocked to death is not my idea of fun! But we are starting a new week..... and I can't wait!

Myrtle Beach 2008





































My mom and I went to Myrtle Beach for a week and here are the pics. It was great weather and really hot!!! Rusty stayed home with Bryce to finish up his Master's class which ended the 24th and now he has a two week break!! Rusty did great with Bryce I was so proud of him. His mom only watched Bryce one night out of 8 and during the evening when Rusty had his final. Thanks to Christy and Ralph for feeding Rusty and Bryce. Bryce had fun playing in the water with Chloe and Carter during the week. The boys loved swimming and the water park the resort had. They even have a kids club at the resort where they can sign up for certain actvities like ceramics, magic tricks with baloons, pirate and princess events... the boys loved it and it gave me and my mom a couple of hours to our self each day ( which we spent reading and sunbathing on the beach). Hopefully next year I will plan better around Rusty's college classes and they can go too. He graduates next July. Although I think Rusty liked the peace and the golf during the day!! We are leaving 07/02 to go to San Antonio to visit Rust's sister and three kids. It should be an adventure with 6 kids!! Luckly her oldest is a senior in high school so we might get to out no kids one night!!

Pics from spring/summer events!!!












































































































































































Well...I am so far behind in posting pictures its not funny so I am going to post some of some events so far. Jackson and Nicholas have both finished up Bernie Webb baseball. They both did awesome - we are sooo proud of both of them! We went to a Braves game in Atlanta and a Smokies game in Sevierville. In Atlanta we also went to Coke World and the Aquarium (which was really neat). We have been swimming alot in our neighbors pool which they were kind enough to give us a key to. Bryce stood on our brick pillars as the new ornament! Don't worry Rusty was behind the pillar! Also he looks pretty funny in his swimming gear. He is crazy over swimming he screams when we get out. Bryce's Birthday is coming up and he will be 2 on 07/25. I am happy but also sad because he is getting so old and big! He still loves to snuggle in the mornings and at night - my favorite time with him! The boys got new beds and rid of their bunk beds and they love them! So enjoy the pics!!!
