Update

This post will be boring- just an update on life.

First- Janie Ann went to her 1 year appointment last Thursday! She weighed 22 lbs and 13 oz. and was 30 inches long!! Happy and healthy! It is still hard for me to believe she is 1!! I promise to upload some video's to the blog soon- I have a bunch of cute ones, just don't have time to sit down and do it- she is EVERYWHERE and we constantly have to watch her. Her newest past-time? CLIMBING! She LOVES to climb on anything or everything! Her favorite thing to climb on at our house? A rocking chair in her bedroom! Not safe at all, but her favorite! 2 Saturday's ago Mrs. Lisa Neece came out to our house and took some family pictures and she was placed in the rocking chair for some of those pictures and so know she thinks it is ok to climb in whenever she wants too! I will upload some of those pictures once I receive the CD!

Second- I had to have surgery last Thursday- outpatient, wasn't bad. I had to have a hernia repaired. (yes, I thought only babies and old men got them, too!) The surgery wasn't bad, but I am not allowed to pick Janie Ann up- not sure how long, I go back to the doctor on Friday (if not sooner). I took Friday and today off work- I go back tomorrow- not really looking forward to that! But I'm thankful that it was a simple procedure and that I am able to go back to work in such a short period of time!

Third- THANKSGIVING is next week!! I'm super excited- it has to be my favorite time of the year! The food and family is wonderful and it is also a break from school! :)

I guess that is all for now! Check back later in the week (or next) for some new pictures and a possible video!

Such a quick trip...

One week ago today we (Janie Ann, Aunt Steph, my papaw Goss and mom) loaded up in the Honda van and headed to ATL to take my mom to stay in a hotel so that she could catch her early flight and no one would be responsible for waking up at 3 or 4 am and getting her over there in time. While I would have loved for her to stay with us ONE more night, it just wasn't do-able. So, at 5:30 we were pulling out of the mall parking lot in Auburn headed to ATL. We made pretty good time getting over there and we were able to eat a nice little dinner before looking for the hotel. My aunt DOES NOT have a GPS (yes, this blows my mind!) so we had a hotel for my mom, we had an address, but that was it! Thank goodness before my mom left for CA she upgraded her phone to a smartphone that has a googlemaps application on it! We found the hotel (after being lost for a little while) and we got her unloaded and checked in before we headed back to Auburn/Daviston. This was EXTREMELY hard for me to do- saying Goodbye again, not knowing when she would be back home! Of course, I had my camera and I took a few pictures of Gigi and Janie Ann.

This picture is awful- but Janie Ann is NOT wanting her Gigi to leave!

Aunt Steph, Janie Ann, and Gigi

I sure do miss my mom, but it meant a whole lot for her to be home for Janie Ann's 1st birthday. I can't wait until she returns home for Christmas (and then when she returns a LITTLE closer to home- at least to the East Coast to work somewhere!)!! We love you Gigi- hurry back!!

Happy Halloween....a little late!

This year was Janie Ann's 2nd Halloween to celebrate! The first one she was 1 day old in the hospital at EAMC (pictured below). It is so hard for me to believe that she is 1 now!! Anyways- we celebrated a couple of times so that we could put our penguin outfit to good use! The first time we wore it was to go Trick or Treating with the Daughtry's! Those boys LOVE Janie Ann and she thinks they are pretty awesome, too!

One year earlier..so tiny!!

Where did the time go?!?

Aunt Steph and Janie Ann

Every year Rocky Creek puts on a Trick or Trunk event. This year Seth and Sheena were part of the committee putting it on- we started off the night with some hot dogs, chips and drinks- then the kids got to go around to every one's trunks and play games, get some treats or both! It is a fun, safe event that the entire family can enjoy. Much better than driving from house to house (or walking like I used to do!).

Getting some candy from KK!

Janie Ann is ONE!!

Janie Ann turned ONE on October 30! Where did the time go?!? We were able to celebrate on her actual birthday with tons of friends and family!! My mom flew in from California and was able to stay and celebrate with us. It was a beautiful day- pretty cool that morning, but warmed up nicely by 4:00- when the party started.

Sorry the pictures are all out of order- they were being difficult to drag and move- so just look and enjoy! Check Facebook for more pictures soon!

We had the sign made so that we could use it every year!

Memaw and Grandpa!

Gigi and I

Sweet kisses for mommy and daddy!

Loved by everyone!

Enjoying her cake!

Everyone singing Happy Birthday!

Janie Ann's personal cake and candle! She LOVED it!

The cutest cake made by Shannon- and it tasted wonderfully, too!

Still hard for me to believe she is ONE!!

Auburn Crayons! Made by Seth and I for our sweet baby!

War Eagle!

Yes, these post are a little out of order... We had a great time 2 weekends ago tailgating at the Auburn vs. LSU. After the victory we all went to Toomer's Corner to celebrate and of course, took tons of pictures! Here are a few pictures from that night! Uncle Stick and Janie Ann!
The Parker's came into town for the game and stayed with us- we got to see them 2 weekends in a row! Boy we sure do miss them!!

These are just a few pictures- go check out my Facebook page for the rest of the pictures!

YAY! Gigi came home for a visit...

On Wednesday of last week after work, Seth, Janie Ann and I headed to the ATL airport to pick up Gigi. The trip over was rainy and yucky, but we made it with no problems. Janie Ann watched Yo Gabba, Gabba the ENTIRE way over and I know the entire DVD by heart now! We were about 50 minutes early from her flight arrival time but thankfully her flight arrived 20 minutes early!! waiting on Gigi to get to the baggage claim! thanks to Karin for the sign!!

Needless to say, mom was SUPER excited to get her hands on Janie Ann!! I haev pictures, but they are HORRIBLE- so those will not be posted at this time!! I have plenty more to post from the weeks events!
