Just an update....

Ok so I just started this blog site so hopefully I can be persistent and persuasive enough to get my family and Troy's family on here. Since we all don't live in the same state anymore it seems like a good way to keep us all connected and updated on our day to day lives. I have put some pictures up here from the past year and realized two things...1. I am NOT photogenic at all and 2. We need to take more pictures. I'm going to play around with this website all day so those of you who know me will know that I am going to be an expert by the end of the day. I will have more time to play with it once Tatum goes down for her nap. She is doing so well with her potty training but she wants to go every 5 minutes because I made the mistake to reward her with "potty pops" everytime she went potty. Now she is just trying to get something out to get candy out of me. SMART LITTLE TWIRP!!! So we are changing to a sticker method...that way we don't have to worry about a potty trained toddler with cavities. This past weekend we got our christmas tree and decorations up. Thank you so much momma Stephens for the Gift Certificate, our Tree is beautiful and I will be sure to put pictures up as soon as Troy gets back from his trip (he took the camera) on Wed. Hailee picked out the Tree and it's a cute 7 foot tree that has a wicked curve in it...but it adds character and it's what she wanted. Thank you Wal-Mart for making shatter proof orniments, so kid friendly. We made christmas cupcakes and marshmellow wreaths that Troy loves and his sister Tamera makes them...hopefully mine taste the same otherwise we are going to have her send some. Troys brother Anthony and his wife Rebecca will be her this week to find a house. Unfortunately they only get a few days to do it so I hope they find one (I know how stressful it can be). We are so excited to have them move here and finally have some family to hang out with. Hailee is really excited to have some cousins her age to play with. I hope we all can find some time during their trip to meet up because I really am looking forward to meeting the new baby.
