Snow Day!!



We had a few inches of snow in Starkville last night and this was the result this morning. Campus was closed so we had a nice day to relax. Enjoy the pictures and War Eagle!! Hopefully Auburn will be National Champions in a few hours!!

Happy Birthday Amy!!


Today is Amy's 29th Birthday. She was younger than me for 9 days but now that time is over. She is such an amazing woman and wife and my life has definitely been blessed with her in it. Amy is also 29 weeks pregnant, and I know that she will be a great mother. Some people are just born to be mothers (mainly females), and Amy is one of them. She loves the Lord and puts Him and her family first in everything she does. She also puts up with all my quirks and obsessions, many of which are related to sports. In addition to being a great wife, Amy is also very gifted in her job as an instructor. I know that she is a great teacher that has touched many lives at Southern Miss, Auburn, and now Mississippi State. I look forward to celebrating her birthday next year with Cameron!!

Looking back on 2010

How often do we stop and reflect on all the Lord has done for us, through us, in us? If you are like me, not enough. The end/beginning of a year is a great time to think back and often be amazed at all that we have been a part of.

2010 was a year of celebration for us and many of our loved ones.

We celebrated Adam's sister Lisa and Patrick's wedding in January.

My brother Ben and Lacey's wedding in July.

Lots of friends welcomed new additions that we were able to love on.

We celebrated Adam's sister Lori's graduation from USM in May and her engagement to James in December.


Adam and I got in our fair share of traveling. a cruise to Belize, Roatan, and Cozumel and trips to Philadelphia, NYC, and Gatlinburg.





We found out this summer that we would be welcoming a new addition in March, and later found out it was a boy!! We have loved dreaming about what our life will be like with Cameron in 2011 and the years to come!


We had a lot of fun with our favorite pup!!


We have much to be thankful for as we begin this new year. While 2010 was full of much celebration it wasn't always an easy year. However, in good time and in bad we saw the hand of the Father.

So as we enter into 2011, we ask that the Lord continue to walk beside us and go before us. May we be good stewards of all that he gives us this year!

4D Ultrasound

As I mentioned in the previous post Adam and I were thrilled to get another glimpse at our our little fella via a 4D ultrasound. It was great. The ultrasound tech spent over an hour with us. At first she was having a hard time getting a good image of his face because he is resting so far down (my bladder and hips can attest to this fact), but after adjusting positions, we had better luck. This was such an amazing experience to see the features of the little tot who is growing inside of me. It is neat to see him move as I feel him move. I am 28 weeks now and Cameron is about 2 lbs 5 oz. He is right on track! Without further ado....here are some pictures of our sweet fella!

Happy Birthday Adam!!

Yesterday my wonderful husband celebrated his 29th birthday.

It was a joyful day in our home, not only were we able to celebrate 29 wonderful years of Adam's life, but we were able to see our little baby boy via a 4D Ultrasound. (More on that later).

First, I want to talk about my wonderful husband. What better way to brag on him than with a list of 29 things that make him special. (sisters, you know he is indeed SPECIAL).

Greetings From Gatlinburg



Amy wanted me to tell everyone hello from snowy and chilly Gatlinburg. We got up very early yesterday morning and left Birmingham at 5 AM to beat the snow up here. Within an hour of arriving, it started snowing, and it hasn't let up much since. It is very beautiful with all the snow, but it is also very cold, with wind chills this morning around 5 degrees. It is supposed to warm up to around 28 degrees tomorrow so maybe we can get out and explore more of Gatlinburg, although we have been content to just relax in our villa in front of the fire the past two days. This is our last vacation before Cameron comes, so we are trying to make the most of it and take notes so we can bring him up here someday. Everyone have a great week and I'm sure Amy will be back with a pregnancy update soon. Enjoy the pics below.
We were looking forward to pancakes this morning but the Log Cabin Pancake House was closed. Hopefully they will be open in the morning.

I bet that Gatlinburg is a popular destination for Ole Miss fans, since the mountains nearby have such a large population of Black Bears. Luckily for us, we haven't run into any yet (both black bears and Ole Miss fans).

25 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:
