Oh What a Night!!!

Last night we went out to dinner to PF Chang's with Aunt Jen, Uncle Jay, Tripp and Ashton!
We were celebrating Aunt Jen and Uncle Jay's anniversary as well as Dada's birthday!
Then Dada had to blow out his candle on his cake...they couldn't fit 33 so they only put 1!
We had a great time! Until we got home. Dada opened his last present from Mama and I and then I went to bed about 9pm. Around 330am or so I got sick and Dada came and laid down with me. I didn't feel well until around 545am or so. I gave Dada two more "surprises" (lets just say the vegetables and rice didn't sit well with me) and he ended up having to wash two sets of pajamas, two blankets, my bed sheets, two pillows and two pillow cases. I woke up around 800am and have felt better since then, besides the fact of being tired! I was very whiney all day until I went down for my nap! Now I can't wait for Mama to get home so we can pack for Columbia and get ready to PARTAY at Aunt Boo Boo and Uncle Clet Clet's engagement party on Saturday!

Happy Birthday Dada

Constantly amazed by the blades of the fan on the ceiling
The clever little glances she gives me can't help but be appealing
She loves to ride with the top down
Fell that worm breeze on her gentle skin
She is my next of kin
I see a little more of me everyday
I catch a little more moustache turning gray
Your mother is the only other woman for me
Little miss magic, what you gonna be?
Sometimes I catch her dreamin and wonder where that little mind meanders
Is she stollin along the shore or cruisin oer the broad savannah
I know someday shell learn to make up her own rhymes
Someday she's gonna learn how to fly
I catch a little more dialogue comin my way
I see those big blue eyes just start to lookin astray
Your mothers still the only other woman for me
Little miss magic, what you gonna be?Yes she loves to ride into town with the top down
Fell that warm breeze on her gentle skin
She is my next of kinConstantly amazed by the blades of the fan on the ceiling
Those clever little looks she gives just can't help but be appealing
I know someday shell learn to make up her own rhymes
One day she's gonna learn how to fly
That I wont deny
I see a little more of me everyday
I feel a little more moustache turning gray
Your mother's still the only other woman for me
Little miss magic, what you gonna be?
Its raining, it pouring
your old man is snoring
The Pictures are from a Welcome home/surprise party Mama and I through Dada on Monday night! Hope you have enjoyed...Happy Birthday Dada! Monkey loves you

You had me from "Hello"

Jamie, Today as we celebrate your 33rd Birthday I would like to take you down memory lane...I remember like it was yesterday, but it was January 28, 2000. What started out as a night out with my work ended up being the best night of my life. It was the night I met you and from the moment we said hello...you had my heart..


One word, that's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head.
Your smile, you captured me
And your were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happened, but it happened still
You asked me if I love you, if I always will

Well you had me from "Hello"
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you owned me
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you wont let go
I never even had a change you know
You had me from "Hello"

Inside, I build the walls
So high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time, I let someone in
But you, had me from "Hello"
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you owned me
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had the chance you know
You had me from "Hello"

That's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head
You had me from "Hello"
You had me from "Hello
Jamie I've loved your from our 1st "Hello"
Happy Birthday Honey! I love you more and more each day!

Changes


When Jamie and I first started this blog, it was to keep our family in the loop on how my pregnancy was going. Once Randi arrived it became her blog and for the most part we have only talked about her day or just gave you a glimpse into what her day was about. To me, this is our family scrap book and when I look back it doesn’t really talk much about our family. Sure there were some days we talk about what we are doing, but for the most part it has been a picture or two of what Randi was doing that day. With that said, we decided to change it to a family blog.
So…..what do you think about the new title? I love the wording…it explains our family to a T. What I didn’t consider were people who do not know us reading it differently. Our family is divided, but not in the way it came across. Jamie loves his Gamecocks and I love my Tigers. Even though I love the pink background better, I changed it last night so people would understand what we mean by family divided. I know I am going to have to fix it soon since I used the paw and gamecock (I am not supposed to do that), but for now it works. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do so that people understand???
Jamie and I would like to apologize for not keeping you updated on Randi’s life. Our life is crazy these days with Jamie working more freelance, Randi starting pre-school and my photography is really picking up. I was really worried about how Randi would react to Jamie being gone since he has been home with her for 18 months, but the transition has been good so far. It has been wonderful watching him glow now that he is working, but with working a full time job, taking care of Randi, staying up late editing, I am really struggling to find a new balance. Each day is better than the day before and I am so thankful that my sister lives here to watch Randi while I am at work and my parents have come up and watched Randi while I go to photoshoots. So bare with us…we really do want to update you on our lives!

Randi's 1st trip to the ZOO

Yesterday, My mom and I took Randi to the zoo for the 1st time!

She loved seeing all the animals, but she was super excited about seeing....

DUMBO!

I bet DUMBO thought we were stalkers, because we were there for a long time!  She didn't want to leave!

Yes, Mickey had to go to the zoo too!



It was such a special day for me!  Nothing beats spending time with my mom and my daughter!
