"Albe my friend"

Adam, Albe and I had a great trip last weekend. Albe did great with Jackson and at Grandma and Poppa's house. We were all extremely wore out by the time we got home.
Albe in the backseat wishing that we wouldn't put him in the crate. Albe and Jackson got along really well. Jackson would say, "Albe my friend." I love this picture of Jackson and Albe watching Adam leave for Auburn. Sweetness.

Jackson LOVES his Uncle Adam. When I talked to him and told him we were coming he kept saying, "you bring Adam". They had so much fun together. WE love this little boy and are SO glad to call him our nephew.

The countdown is on. We are cruising in 5 days. Have I mentioned that we are cruising. I think I neglected that.We will be seeing this boat again in 5 days. We are SOO excited. We cruised the fantasy 2 years ago, so I might have to throw in a tribute post pre-cruise if I have time. Wouldn't that be fun Knight family!!

I'm so excited....

I'm so excited... and I just can't hide it... go ahead finish the song in your head or outloud. Its ok. Let loose.
Adam, Albe and I are packing up this afternoon and going to see this precious little fella (his parents will be there too)!!!!
When I talked to Jackson this week about coming to see him his only stipulation was that I bring Adam. He kept saying, "You bring Adam". Adam is going to Auburn on Friday to do some things for work and Albe and I are staying in Prattville with Jackson ALL DAY!!! I am THRILLED!!! We will find out soon if Albe feels the same way. I hope it is love at first sight! Albe better sleep in the car because I think he is about to get worn out!!

Happy Anniversary!!

I just wanted to take a minute to say Happy 30th Anniversary to our parents, Chuck and Cindy. This is an amazing accomplishment and they have set a wonderful example for Amy and I to follow. We are truly blessed to have such great parents, as Amy's parents have also been married for over 30 years and have been great to us as well. Hope you have had a great day and 30 or more great years together!!

Snow Day

We woke up this morning to a winter blanket of snow. This is a RARE occurrence in Mississippi so we are of course very excited to see snow! We didn't know how Albe would react to the snow since he can't stand the rain ( we can barely coax him to go outside in it). Here are some pics from around our house today!Albe ready to tackle the snow.
Albe says, "This snow is nothing, let me see if I can change the color of it."
Out our back door.

Have a great Non-snow day.

Mom

Tomorrow is a very, very special day. It's my mom's birthday. I really wish that I could be there to spend the day with her, but in all honesty (and mom I hope you read this) she NEEDS TO REST. She has come down with bronchitis and needs to take the day to do NOTHING. What a great way to spend a birthday right. As I have been thinking about this birthday post and looking through pictures to put up of mom I was reminded of what a special year this was for mom and I because we got to plan my wedding. I am tearing up just thinking about how unbelievably blessed I am to have such an amazing mom.
We have always had a wonderful relationship but this last year the Lord used planning the wedding and marriage to change and grow our relationship. My mom loved me so much through the planning of our wedding. She wanted us to have such a special day and boy was it special.
Thank you mom for being a best friend, encourager, adviser, supporter, and most of all for being my mom. I am SOOO thankful to be your daughter. My heart rejoices in knowing that one day I can be the kind of mother to little ones that you have been to us. Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Happy Birthday to you..you

This week has been the birthday celebration of two very special people. My best friend Brandi and my oldest brother Jeremy.

Beautiful Brandi and I met our freshman year of college when she was moving in the dorm room across from me. If you hear her side of the story I think you would find that she thought I was a little to friendly for her. Never would we have imagined that 9 years later (man we are getting old) we would be best friends and she would stand beside me on our wedding day as my matron of honor. Brandi has had such a hard year, losing her mom and grandmother so this birthday is especially significant as its the first without these special ladies here with her. I know that her mom
especially is so proud of her beautiful, talented daughter and is watching her live each day hoping she will find joy again. I am so blessed to have her as a friend.




My big brother Jeremy hit the big 3-0 this week! That makes me feel older. He told me, it makes him an adult now. I said the marriage and child did that. I am so proud of my big brother. He is such a godly man with a kind heart. He is such an amazing DADDY!!!That Jackson loves, loves, loves his daddy ( he loves his momma too) but it has been so fun to watch the brother that I saw play little league, who drove me to high school, and who has one of the strongest work ethics of anyone I know love on his SON! I am so proud to call you brother and friend Jeremy.
I love this picture of Ben (my younger brother on left, Mom, and Jeremy (on right) from our wedding)

This is a picture of Adam and Jeremy from our wedding.

My birthday prayer for both of you is that this year you will feel loved and encouraged as you have loved and encouraged others.
