V-O-L-S......GO VOLS GO.......

We FINALLY got to go to a Vols game!!YAY!! Baylee has had a tournament every home game so far so we were not able to go...Kinda to our advantage because UT vs Vandy was the BEST game in a long time ;-)  We sat on row 2 behind the players families....Baylee and Haveyn actually sat with the players family as you will see in pictures.  The Coach Weeklys(husband and wife) sat in that section so Baylee and Haveyn introduce them selves.  Maybe they will one day play ball for them....(fingers crossed) ANYWAYS....back to football...We had a blast and Tennessee Vols did great!! We walked out of the Stadium with Eric Gordon's parents...if you can imagine there was LOTS of noise going on!!!

THANKS......

We have gotten 1 down and 2 to go ;-) that is thanksgiving meals.....I love to eat so that works good for me.  My mom had her thanksgiving this past Sunday because everyone is always so busy on Thanksgiving that its hard to pick a time when everyone can hang out and enjoy each other rather than rushing off to the next stop! It worked PERFECT and the food was awesome as always!  Thank you so much for all your cooking Mom!!!


                                             

 The Boys and I

 Ricky and Steph
 Uncle Ray....This little girl LOVES her Uncle "ay" as she says

 Cool Whip Anyone???  Reminds me of Mrs. Doubtfire....loved that movie for some reason
 A girl and her Mommy ;-)
And this.....Well this is for my "big brother" again showing him my full-loving attitude!!!  I'm crazy and Matt loves it....Can't you tell!!

Blessed!  I cannot even express how blessed I am!  Between my husband, my girls, my family and my friends!   And I guess I should say Matt is pretty blessed with his wife ;-) Just kidding….(The other night I said to Matt… You know honey you are so lucky to have an awesome wife like me…He says…Yes I really am!  That’s when I said…Why didn’t I get that lucky ;-)!! Totally laughing I know that I am very blessed with a husband that goes the extra mile to make me happy) Back to my points…. Have you ever thought about no home….no food….maybe even no family or friends…. Its wild to think that we would be devastated without just one of those and there are people in the UNITED STATES….in TENNESSEE….in EAST TENNESSEE…..in ROANE COUNTY….in KINGSTON that have one or more of these problems.  You never know and will never know peoples situations but what I do know is 1 person can make a difference in someone life….Being the month of November I do more of what I should be doing all year long…..GIVE THANKS!!!!  Help someone…….While I have ALWAYS been warm and laughing when I eat my Thanksgiving meals with my family ( to be honest we normally eat 2 or 3 meals) ….Some people don’t get that…..I ask everyone or anyone that reads this blog to think for a moment about helping in so way this year to make a difference.  One of my ways is buying meals for the homeless.  My dad and I started this 3 years ago with 30 meals from cracker barrel....This year my goal was 100 and after reaching out to friends and family for sponsors.... I will for sure have more than 100. I will post after Thanksgiving and let you know!  I am SUPER excited to help touch these people's lives and I wish I could do more!  THANKS with all my heart to everyone who has helped my make this dream true and thanks to everyone that takes the time this year to help someone ;-)

ZOO babies.....

I am a sucker for a zoo.... I love a Zoo.  Every time we travel somewhere we always try to check out the zoo.  If Knoxville zoo is the only Zoo you have ever been too...I beg you to try another because you will L.O.V.E. it!!!  I hate to say this about Knoxville in any way BUT they have the worst Zoo that I have been to so far....But I do still go from time to time...Generally once a year.  I really wish that they would keep up with it more but oh well..... We went to the Zoo Sunday with my SIL and nephew!  We had an awesome day with them!! Can't wait til the next outing  ;-)
