Hotty Toddy!! Rebs stomp the Vols:)

We had the best time at the Ole Miss/UT game last weekend with Deedee and Dibs! Of course we were VERY happy because the Rebs won, and won big! Run Dexter, Run! Anyway, we had a lot of UT fans "Grove" with us and they were great. They said, we lost the game, but we are still having so much fun because this is just amazing! Talking about the Grove and all we do at the tents. Oh, I am pretty sure the college boys who were there told me at least 10 times that they had never seen so many hot women!! Haha! We rented a house with my parents for the weekend which was perfect for our needs. Graydon and I went to dinner with all of our parents friday and had a wonderful time. Then saturday morning we got up early and began our duties for the Grove. Allie Harris had the best time saying her Hotty Toddy's and wearing her Rebel dress:) Can't wait until we have another little cheerleader to sing it with her! Thank you to Mom and Dad for the amazing dinner, house and fabulous weekend. They will be memories forever! Here are the pics from the grove, my camera stinks so sorry about the quality.
Hanging out with Colonel Reb and Deedee...
Giving Daddy some love before he leaves for the game:)

Showing our support for our "split house!" I do love UT, unless they are playing Ole Miss!


All she wanted to do is eat ice. Seriously, all day long. She had a throat infection she was getting over so it probably felt good to her. But it also kept her happy most importantly!



Just a chillin' at the tent next to us. She made friends with the adults next to us, imagine that? I wonder where she gets that "let's talk to everyone" mentality?!




Extra tight squeeze for Daddy...




Hanging out with her favorite person of the weekend, her Deedee. They are so close. Mom was so patient and did everything AH wanted her to do.




The fam! Graydon isn't smiling for some reason, but i still like the pic?!



My awesome parents, Dibs and Deedee Diddle, and Graydon, AH and me. We literally had the best weekend. We are so blessed to have such wonderful famlies and we can't wait to see Deedee and Dibs again over Thanksgiving!




Cheesing it for her Hotty Toddy photo op:)



Me and my "big girl." She is truly amazing. She is so excited about being a big sister and talks constantly to the baby about things they are going to do together. We are so proud of her and just love her more than anything in the whole world.

Another precious GIRL!!

Well, by now most of you probably now that we are having another amazing little GIRL this April! We felt deep down that it was a girl but Dr. Cesare confirmed that on friday:) She is absolutely beautiful and her measurements are right on track. Spine, heart, head and legs look perfect! Wow, another little girl...I hope for Graydon's sake (and my sanity!) that this one is our "jeans and t-shirt"girl. A little more calm and laidback like him, as opposed to another mini me:) Allie Harris is so excited. She said she wants to play dress up, do puzzles, and put their hair in ponytail holders together. I am amazed that she made that connection of "girl activities" they can do together. She is going to be a great AND BOSSY big sister! I think selfishly a boy sounded neat, you know someone to be a momma's boy and to be daddy's hunting buddy. BUT Graydon is already the best Dad to one little girl and now he will be the best daddy to two little girls who are going to be all about him:) Mom says God knew that Graydon had the patience and sweetness to handle little girls so he keeps blessing him with them. I agree! She is going to have a sister, something i always wanted but never had so i can't wait to watch them grow up together. We are so happy, blessed and everything in between. Now, what are we going to name her????!!!

Small change in baby gender date...

Okay so we were supposed to go and find out what the baby is next wednesday the 11th, but it got changed to friday the 13th (scary) because my doc took the day off. So, we'll have to wait 2 extra days, but that will just give it extra time to get ready for the big reveal!! I'll keep you posted, i promise:)

We're Alive!! A LOT TO CATCH UP ON!

Okay, so after not posting for like 5 months, and people asking if we were still alive, I have great news...We're back! There are so many things i could and should catch up on but i don't know if i have the energy right now:) Speed session, this summer we were involved in about 6 weddings between the two of us, all amazing and fun! We had a five year anniversary that was a more meaningful than any other one, a big milestone. Allie Harris is still the most amazing, hilarious, SASSY and loving little love bug in the world and she turned 2 while we were off blogging as well. Of course in style, with an adorable Mermaid shaped cake and a pool party with all of her church and play friends. My dad turned 60, and never acts like it and i love that! My oldest brother Wes and his new beautiful wife got married in September in Seattle. It was at a winery and was one of the best celebrations ever! Gorgeous city, gorgeous couple, great time to go in September:) My other brother Walker and his adorable wife Meghan sold their old house and are moving to a new one as we speak! Graydons Brother Scott and his wife precious Julie welcomed a son, Gaines on June 24th, a month early but he was great! Oh, and there is one more thing...We are PREGNANT AGAIN! After a long summer and some deep discussions, we decided that we wanted to expand our family together so we started trying in late July. And wouldn't you know, we got pregnant the first month! We are due April 23rd and find out November 11th what it is:) So exciting! So here are like 40 pics from this past weekend of Halloween. Yes, it has been that long since I blogged. The pics don't even do justice to how adorable our little giraffe was in person! She had a blast, shaking her tail and saying "happy halloween, twick oh tweat!" Can't get those "r" sounds and i think it is kinda cute. Sorry for so many but here goes...

Happy Halloween at Marley and Bradley's
LOVE this pic! Hot dads and their babies:) Thornton Marley, Leyton, Graydon and Allie Harris. Isn't he the cutest little lion you have ever seen?

At the end of the night, after all the trick or treating, and basically she was like mom, no more pics please. Great facial expression.



Wait, this one is even better!!
