I did it....I passed....and

Drumroll please.........................I will start nursing school June 1st! Whoop!!! : ) Thank you, thank you very much!

Finals are over!!

I thought that day would never get here, as it has been what seems like the longest semester in history....but thank the good Lord, I'm done. (at least for the next 4 weeks) I will find out if I indeed passed, as I think I did, on the 12th and will start nursing school on June 1st! Wish me luck. : )

Our first Alabama game!!!!

Tyler and I got to experience our first Bama game, (even though it was only A Day game) and we had a blast! We can not wait to go to the games this season. We toured the campus, which was gorgeous, and went shopping and ate downtown! Then we walked into Bryant-Denny Stadium, all decked out in our crimson and white and enjoyed the view. We couldn't ask for a more beautiful day, and the only thing we forgot was the sunscreen. lol! Momma will be better prepared this season, but hey...I could use a little sun, who are we kidding? Right.. : ) I can not wait to go back to Tuscaloosa this Fall!

Update on the babies...

As you can see, Hilliary (left) and Anna (right) and their beautiful baby boys are doing great! They are happy and healthy and love their Aunt Tissy!! Deigan (left) is 2 weeks younger than Douglas. lol, Deigan looks like he may be a month or so older than him! I am so excited that I get to be apart of their lives and watch them grow every day...I love my besties!

Jeffrey's birthday dinner...

Tonight we celebrated Jeffrey's 30th birthday and our parents met for the first time! It was a success and we all enjoyed a wonderful, and filling dinner at Texas Roadhouse!

Earlier in the day, Jeffrey took us to the BLP manufacturing plant where he works, to show us exactly what he does day in and day out. Tyler had made a comment in a conversation a few days ago, that he wanted to be a paint guy like Jeffrey....so he got permission for a little "field trip" today. : ) First, Tyler was issued a pair of safety glasses and then we went on our way. We started out at the beginning, where the gallon cans were being cleaned and prepped then put on the conveyor belt to make its rounds! Then we saw them get filled with paint, the machine place the tops on them and seal them and attach the wire holder to the tops.....all very high tech! We met all of his co-workers and everyone of them asked Tyler if he was ready to start working with "dad" and he smiled and said yes! lol... Upon leaving, Tyler was able to work on the aerosol paint can machine, placing the marbles in the can (did you know there was a marble in each spray can?), then placing the paint in the can, putting the tube in the can and then sending it to the sealer machine to seal it shut and get ready for the tabs and tops to be placed on them and get boxed up. That is a lot of work! lol...he was so excited that he got to do that! It was a great day! Here are some more pix of our wonderful day together....I forgot my camera when we were at the plant. Yeah, I can't believe it either! : ) Maybe next time...

Camping with the boys!

Saturday, after Tyler's baseball game, we headed to Spanish Fort to camp out with the cub scouts! We loaded up Jeffrey's SUV, and (i mean loaded), and set out to sleep under the stars on a civil war battlefield! How exciting! I think, at times, I was more excited than Tyler or Jeffrey...but we all had a great time. We set up our tents and (shh...and our air mattress') and went about our business. The pack went on a hike with the scout leaders for about 2 hours and got to see so much and learn a lot about what happened way back when. When they returned, they set up a bon fire and each scout began to tell everyone about their favorite part of the trip so far. Each family had their own fire ring with a grill plate on it, to cook dinner for their families, so Jeffrey taught Tyler how to roast his own hot dogs! Tyler loved it....great family time! After dinner, it was time for S'mores and yes they were so yummy! On Sunday, the three of us toured the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta that runs along side of the battlefield. It was beautiful! Here is a picture of one of the trees that the soliders dug out to hide in during the war....(Jeffrey is 6'5, to give you an indication of how big the space below the roots of the tree are)So I am having trouble putting the pictures in the correct places, but as you can see...here are a few of them. Enjoy!

Diegan is finally home!!

After 8 days in Neonatal ICU, Diegan is finally home with his mom and dad! I finally got to see him and Hilliary today for a few hours, and they are doing great! At his check up yesterday afternoon, he weighed in 8 pounds and 7 ounces.
