Show us your Wedding Party and Flowers!
Let me tell a little story about our wedding.....
We were engaged shortly after being together for 6 months.. fast forward we were engaged 2 years before we got married. My dream wedding that I was planning was going to be in June, outside at my parent's house bu our pond with white chairs and my colors were going to be Hot Pink, Orange, and White. I had already bought the invitations and everything when we got some bad news about Timmy's Mother. She had cancer and was given only 6-9 months to live so we decided to move the wedding up to January instead of June. It was already the beginning of November when we had decided this. Luckily I had went and got my dress in October and I called and told them what was going on and they called the company and got my dress in just in time. I didn't know what I wanted for a winter wedding, I had no ideas so I wasn't that picky. It ended up being a beautiful wedding and an amazing day and I am so thankful we moved it up to January so Timmy's mother could be with us. I wanted to do pink with whites and silver but I couldn't find ANY PINK bridesmaid dresses that I liked to I found the bridesmaids dresses I liked and went with Blues and silvers. Web tried to make it an icy, wintry reception!
I know this is awful but I don't even know what flowers we really used except hydrangeas that were gorgeous!!! I love my bouquet even if we forgot to wrap my ribbon around the stems with my big bow.
We got married at the church I grew up going to. We had 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsman. My maid of honor was my best friend/cousin Lacey, my 3 sisters were bridesmaids and my cousin Grace. Timmy had his cousin Michael as his best man, his brother and 3 friends as his groomsman. Our flower girl was Timmy's cousin and we had two ring bearers, my little nephews! My Brother in law got his officiating license and married us, it meant a lot to us and he did a great job!
All in all it may have not happened how I had planned or been my "dream wedding" or been outdoors in the summertime like I had imagined it ended up being absolutely perfect and being my dream wedding and the most amazing day of my life ( besides when Brody was born.)
Here are some pictures....

Home!!
I'm so glad to be home with Brody and have him around Timmy. Since we weren't for sure what kind of meningitis it was until today we didn't want to have Brody anywhere close. But the Dr. said it wasn't contagious and it was fine for Brody to be around, Timmy was so glad to see Brody and I am glad to be back home with him too. It was hard being away from him.
Day 3 & A giveaway
Brody is in good hands today. I go home throughout the day and at night. Were lucky that we have so much help. My sister is home today so she has Brody right now. My little brother has UK Basketball camp starting today and it is a big deal. He looks so forward to it every year so I told my mom she must go with him and my dad to start it off right!! So I will be going back and forth today to my little man. Timmy really misses him, it is going on 3 days that he hasn't got to see him!!!
Thanks for all the prayers!!
I also wanted to post about an awesome 50.00 Sephora Gift Card giveaway!!!

Day 2-- About the same
This has been a change for me with Brody... I have only left Brody for a few times and not for any longer than 2 hours at a time. Luckily we live right beside my parents and they are able to help us so much! I am still breast feeding Brody and I had no milk frozen and I am not really able to pump out extra so yesterday I went home every couple hours and then mom drove up here and I went out and fed him. He has been drinking juice and eating baby food as well. He did pretty well yesterday and I went home last night with him. Today I have a can of formula that mom may try if she needs to, I really didn't want to have to supplement and he may not even take it and we may not even have to try. It's a good thing we only live about 20-25 minutes from the hospital but I made a lot of trips, but it's worth it! I am lucky to be able to stay home with Brody each day but I sure have missed him but I know he is in good hands and that my hubby needs me!!!!!
Thanks for all the prayers!!!!

Brody loves his highchair and his cousin Estella!
I have posted about Estella before but if you don't remember she is my cousin Danielle's little girl! She loves Brody and Brody loves her! They live in Lexington so we don't see them very often but Estella was here for a few days with her Mammaw and Pappaw ( my aunt and uncle) so she came down to visit "Body." That's what she calls him and it is so cute. She is so motherly, she wants to help me do everything and it is so sweet. She loves to give him kisses. She will be turning 2 here in just a few days!!!!!!!!
So Tuesday the 28th is Timmy's birthday and I was wanting to do something sweet/special from Brody, does anyone have any ideas? This is his first birthday as a dad!! For Father's day I did a canvas with his feet and hands but what couuld I do for his birthday?????????
I don't!!
My list of "I don't"!!!
--I don't really like to watch TV, not a fan at all. However I do watch Army wives and that's really about it.
-- I don't drink enough water, I have been trying to drink more lately but I just don't!
-- I don't ever wear sunscreen, shame on me!!!!!!!!!
-- I don't answer my house phone, ever. It was my grandmas old number and it is always telemarketers and I never gave the number out much, I just use my cell!
-- I don't make Brody sleep in his own bed, I know I will deal with this later but I don't care. I am all about the FAMILY BED!
-- I don't like taking the time to paint my own toe nails, I have to make myself!
-- I don't like cleaning out my fish tank, at all.
Well there ya go my list for the day!!!!

Our weekend
Timmy & his cousin Michael at the wedding!
Timmy & Brody Luke
Me & Brody
Sunday we were home and Timmy spent the day golfing so Brody and I headed on down to the Wright's to go to the annual Tollesboro Fair parade, Brody's 1st parade!! The firetrucks and the sirens really scared him at first and then he fell asleep but eh woke up for the last part of it!
Last night Brody, my best friend Laura, and myself went to watch the Miss Tollesboro Pageant! Bordy's 1st beauty pageant, haha. It was fun and he did really well until the end ( it was past his bedtime) we we headed on home!
Brody's 1st bottom tooth has came through and since Sunday he has really been working on the other one right beside it and it is just about through too!!
Not much else has really been going on here.. we have been having some cooler weather which makes it feel like fall is coming! Where did our summer go????
