my BIG surprise for my wonderful husband was a trip to Dallas, TX to see the Cowboys play the Eagles. I surprised him with the whole trip....you see he turns 30 in feb and I wanted to do something that we had never done. (Ive tried surprise parties two years in a row and between Baylee and Craig......well they weren't surprise parties anymore hehe!!)He has been a cowboys fan since he was itty bitty:) it was a blast! the stadium was amazing and the weather was fabulous!

true lil tennessee fan

Baylee loves going to the football games and actually loves watching the game ;-)...She has gotten to meet some of the players and a lot of the families.  The last game of the season Tyler Bray came over and gave her a hug.  She was on top of the world.  The game before she got to go into the room where the family meets up with the players after the game and meet CP and Justin Hunter.  She is an out going gal and meets LOTS of people to do neat things! Thank you Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Ricky for saving her a seat! 

updating one at a time ;-)

Have ya ever had so much to say that it brings you to a loss of words...well me neither...but I gotta lot to say. Especially when its been oh 5 weeks or so since I have posted ;-(...Hey..... a life with 2 kiddos gets busy and crazy and I.LOVE.IT!! And I also don't even know where to start. So I will give a brief Melton update in a few different post and ...post some pictures which is what most people look at anyways and say my good byes BUT I will log back in on Tuesday because I gotta little surprise for the hubby this weekend and it will be blog worthy ;-)

We went to Florida for a week. Thanksgiving week. I have never been away from tennessee for thanksgiving. We missed alot of family but we were with some family that we dont get to see that often. I loved spending Thanksgiving with my Mimi and Pop. They are two very special people that I do not get to see enough. we spent 2 days at Clearwater beach (and yes...we went and saw Winter the dolphin)...Clearwater is a gorgeous place. If you haven't been you should check it out. My brother, Ray and Katrina and Mr. Cooper Vance joined us. It was so nice to see Cooper for 5 days straight! I miss him now ;-(... But we got back in time to go to the Melton's Thanksgiving poker gathering and I got to see Mr. Colton and Miss Reese whom I missed very much! And we started visiting a new church before we left and we missed it so we got back in time for it Sunday ;-)

and once again I dont have this picture organization thing down....SORRY but enjoy ;-)
