Happy 4th Birthday Grace!!
We celebrated Grace's 4th Birthday several weeks ago, before her actual birthday, and now I am posting the pictures well after her birthday!
Grace looking over her sea of presents:
So many gifts, mostly Barbie and Littlest Pet Shop stuff:
Mimi putting on Grace's "princess" crown that came in her card:
Her favorite gift (I assume anyway) was a new big girl bike from Mimi and Paps:
The yummy cake:
The birthday girl making a wish and blowing out her candles:
Grace's birthday is sort of a marker for Chris and I. She was born very shortly after we started dating. At times it seems so recent and at other times it seems like forever ago (both in a good way of course). I think the only reason it seems so long ago is because so many other babies have been born since then (with more to come)!

Happy (belated) Halloween!!
One of these days I will get better at posting in a timely manner... until then I will keep posting several at once :)
I went to my parents house on Halloween... you know that holiday that was almost a month ago?! Jade was dressed as a "Smartie Pants" and had little packs of smarties sewn on her pants. I thought her outfit was clever, unique, and fitting! As most of you know Jade is a literal smartie pants too. She does so well in school and loves it (she did NOT get that from me or Allison!) She has been correcting me since she was old enough to talk!
Sara, Caleb, and Samantha Jane came over, too. Sara is one of Allison's best friends. This is Samantha Jane, isn't she adorable!
Samantha Jane has the cutest personality and enjoyed playing with the pumpkin and some of Jade's old stuffed animals, but I think she enjoyed the ads from the news paper the most!
I went home when Chris got off work, and we didn't have a single trick-or-treater come to our house. That means I got to eat all of the candy!

7-0!!
Titans are 7-0!! For those of you who don't know, Chris is a HUGE Titans fan, and we were lucky enough to get to go to the Titans game Monday night. They played the Colts which is always interesting because of Peyton Manning and his ties to Tennessee. The thermometer said 45 but what we were feeling had to have been somewhere in the 30's.
We got there in plenty of time to watch all of the players warming up. The three quarterbacks...
Chris would kill me if I didn't put a picture of Coach Fisher on here!
Michael Griffin (#33) and Chris Johnson (#28) warming up before the game:
Kevin Mawae (#68) Chris really likes him too.
Rob Bironas (#2), Craig Hentrich (#15), and Ken Amato (#58) practicing field goals with Donnie Nickey (#23) watching.
Kerry Collins leading the Titans down the field on one of their many drives.
Here is a picture of Peyton for all of the faithful (I have never been a Peyton fan)...
Here is a great sign a guy was wearing around his neck, it says "Peyton Pouts" in case you can't read it. He proudly showed it off, especially when Peyton was intercepted... twice!
Kerry Collins taking a knee to end the game.
We had a great time at the game and it was definitely worth the cold weather to see such a great game. Go Titans!

Riley!!
Last weekend Chris and I and his friend Brad went to see one of his best friends in Memphis, Tim and his wife Arinne. They recently had a baby, and of course I couldn't wait to get my hands on him! He is so adorable!!
This picture is a little blurry but I love the look on face!
Riley had a shirt like Brad, so we had to get a picture of them together. Brad is trying to imitate Riley.
We had such a good time visiting and wish we could have stayed longer!

Murfreesboro Half Marathon
A few weekends ago Chris ran the Murfreesboro Half Marathon. For those of you who aren't familiar with running, that's 13.1 miles... I am not sure why anyone would want to run that much, but over 1700 people took part.
Chris wanted me to take him to the starting line the morning of the race, so I decided that since I had to get up REALLY early I would volunteer to help with the race.
Their first suggestion was for me to give out packets to the runners... at 5:00 in the morning. I kindly asked for something a little closer to my house and not quite so early. I ended up on one of the corners of Maney ave. keeping cars off the course. Sounds like a simple task, but some people were very, very rude about it. They thought we should stop all the runners just to let them through. I did get to wear a not so cool neon yellow vest and use an orange flag, I felt very important.
I watched closely to try and catch a picture of Chris. The runners had to run down Maney to Oakland's Mansion, then back up to Main Street. He passed my station at approximately mile 4 and mile 6 and I got to see him (and take pictures) both times.
After all the runners had passed my post for the second time, I walked over to the finish line at the MTSU track. Chris finished the race in 2 hours 17 minutes.
