Happy Father's Day!!!


Happy Father's Day to my daddy! Words cannot express how lucky I feel to have him in my life. And now I am so excited for him to be "Pop" and for McCoy to be able to have his influence as he grows up. Dad has always been very hardworking at his job, but I've always known his #1 priority was to be there for me, Sara, and my mom. He never once missed any play, cheerleading performance, or event that we participated in. I always knew I could count on him to be there with a video camera loving every minute. I think he said it best at my wedding. He felt like he was born to be a father to little girls, and that's the truth! I always know I can call him with any question or worry and he will be there with words of encouragement!! I can't praise or thank him enough for all he has done for me in my 25 years. Thank you, Dad!! I love you every much and hope you have fun playing golf today! See you next week!








Happy First Father's Day to Kirk! McCoy will be here in 16 weeks and I can't wait to tell him how blessed he is to have Kirk as a daddy. He will do such a great job and be such a positive influence in McCoy's life. It will be so fun to write this blog next year and have lots of pictures to show of the two of them together! Stay tuned!



McCoy's Daddy!


We love you Kirk! Have a great first father's day!

FYI: Sorry about the quality of pictures...it's a picture of a picture....






Fun Weekend!!

What a great weekend! Kirk has been playing in a golf tournament so I thought my weekend would be pretty dull, but it's turned out to be busy and fun!
I started it off Friday by going to meet Peyton Crandall Wells. I work with Peyton's mommy, Darien. He was born on Thursday morning weighing 6 pds 11 oz with a ton of dark brown hair. He is so cute!!

I can't wait to spend more time with him and watch him grow! Also, while at the hospital I realized that I have to get a new camera before McCoy comes because babies DO NOT like my flash. His eyes were wide open before I started taking my picture! Any suggestions???
After my visit to Peyton, Kirk, Sara, and I met up with my Aunt Te-Te (it's really Tami but you know how those names stick), Uncle Rick, and cousin Cissy for dinner at Outback. They live in Sheridan but were here while Morgan, my other cousin, was participating at the Houston Nutt Football camp. We don't get to see them as much as we would like, so it was so fun to visit with them! And not to mention, we had a wonderful dinner!

The girls after dinner

Morgan was not able to make it because of camp, so Saturday morning Sara and I went to the Razorback stadium so we could see him before they left. Luckily, we made it just in time for the awards ceremony and were able to see Morgan win Tight End MVP!! We were so proud of him!!

By the way, Morgan is only 14 years old!!! Can you believe how big he is?? He is already 5'11". Almost a whole foot taller than me! He is going to be a great college football player one day! Can't wait to see it happen!!

Afterwards, Sara and I shopped at a couple of stores and looked around at baby stuff. Last night I had a great girly dinner with Joanna and Leanne. No time for pics since we were too busy talking and laughing! We always have so much fun together!

On top of all of this, Kirk is playing great in his tournament and having a blast! Hope everyone else had a great weekend!!

Happy 2nd Anniversary!




Trip to Turks and Caicos
Today is Kirk and I's 2nd wedding anniversary!! We were married on June 11, 2005 at 7 pm.
Our Background: We went to rival junior high and high schools so we knew of each other, but we weren't formally introduced until the summer after our sophomore year in college. As soon as we met, we dated for a couple of weeks and then Kirk had to head back to Louisiana, where he played baseball :( We stayed together for the first semester and on October 31 Kirk surprised me by coming to visit and telling me that he was going to come to Arkansas for the 2nd semester!! We've been together now for 5 years!

It's so neat to look back on our 2 year marriage. We've done a lot and there's no one else I would rather share it with than him. God couldn't have blessed me with a better person. I can be a little impatient sometimes and I'm definitely a BIG worrier. Kirk is the exact opposite. Always laid back and just takes life as it comes. He never fails to make me laugh! Now that we're expecting our first child, I've really started to think about how there's no one else I'd rather experience this with. He'll be such a wonderful father and I can't wait to see him in action!
The past two years have been full of blessings for us and we can't wait to see what is to come!
I love you Kirk! Thank you for sharing your life with me!
