RIP little fishy

Okay- I wrote this blog last week, but I still wanted to post this. So, all of this was from last week. I just never got around to putting the pictures with it last week, so I am now! :)

I woke up this morning around 6, and I have no idea why and I could not go back to sleep! So I laid there for awhile with B and finally got myself up. The fish bowl needing cleaning really bad since Monday night, Tad overfeed them and the bowl was FILTHY! I just didnt have time yesterday to clean it since I was at school and DRS all yesterday.  Well when I was trying to get the fish out to clean the bowl I noticed one of this goldfish floating around... Broke my Heart! I know I know its just a fish, but its my little B's first goldfish, and I know that the other 2 are still alive, but I wonder if he'll even notice? Probably not but I do! This makes me want to run to walmart and get him a new one! Anyway, yesterday was soooo long for me! My 8 o'clock class seemed to be 5 hours long yesterday morning, and I wanted to go to sleep so bad. I kept wanting to close my eyes on the way there, but of course I didn't I was driving!haha... I left dance an hour early since Tad had to leave last night, and he left about 20 minutes after I got home :( Bless his heart he was tired too! So after I cooked Fajita's I took the rest to mother and daddy to eat since I didn't want it to go to waste. Brayden has got the WORST temper of any child I have ever seen. He headbutts, throws things and will flat out rollaround and throw a fit! I have no idea where he gets this from, but I've def. got my hands full! He also bit my finger last night because I wouldn't let him have any of my diet coke. It hurt too! This little temper of his has got to go!!! Monday night we ended up going to  Enterprise to Santa Fe for supper,and it was sooo GOOD! :) Tad was supposed to grill wings but the rain wouldn't let him.. Plus he wanted to go out to eat somewhere and that seemed like the best place! Mother Brayden and I are planning on going shopping Saturday to Pensacola for some Christmas shopping. We are almost done with B's Christmas just have to order a few things that I haven't found anywhere, but other than that I think we're doing pretty good ;) We have our parents,grandparents, and a few others to buy for and we're done (i think)lol... I have some more things that I want to get Tad so maybe I will get that done Saturday! Thanksgiving is just around the corner..I can already taste the dressing, ham, spanish rice, green-bean casserole... YUMMY!

Shopping, Air Show, and Restless legs!

We've had a very eventful weekend! :) Friday Tad, Brayden and I went to Dothan to start our Christmas shopping! We got Brayden a few things, Tad and I got new shoes, and I bought 1 dirty santa gift. The dirty santa gift I really bought for my mother if she wanted to use it for her dirty santa gift for her work party. There just wasn't a lot of toys that I thought Brayden would like, most looked too young for him. Like I told my momma, I guess I think that because he's always playing with my ipod and trying to get to the computer! haha... He's so high tech for his age! :) Everything that we bought was for Christmas and has to go under the tree except for the few clothes that we bought Brayden. After shopping most of the day we went to Myori's for supper!YUMMY! :) I was soo full, we haven't ate Japanese in SEVERAL months! So we def. enjoyed it more than usual I think...haha... On Saturday, Tad went to the AU vs. Georgia game and mother, Brayden and I went to the Air Show! We had lots of loud fun!:) Brayden enjoyed it but I think that mother and I enjoyed it more than B did. We didn't stay for the whole thing, but saw a lot of the show. Today, we went to church..and my legs danced all through the service... I felt awful! I just knew Dr. Lowery was thinking this girl is ready to get out of here! I enjoyed his service this morning, and wished I could have made it tonight..My legs just hurt soo bad, as long as I'm moving around I'm fine... Now I'm sitting at the Kitchen table so my legs are dangeling and I'm constantly moving them! I did make it to Southern Style's open house today, and bought B 2 more Christmas gifts! :) I'm on a ball! lol... Anyway, Now I'm working on homework and Tad is grilling me a steak and him ribs! Yes I don't eat ribs...Gross! :) I hope everyone has a good week and I will do a post later with pictures from this past week! :)

Roasted Marshmellows

I haven't uploaded pictures in awhile, So I have lots to share of my little man!

 

 This was Brayden before heading to Opp Fest on Saturday, I thought he looked TOO cute in his overalls!

 It looks like Brayden is waiting for him to talk!

 Trying to wear his daddys boots

 This is Brayden's FAVORITE book! We have to actually hide it sometimes, or we will read it 100 times in 1 day! Its called "Sooo Big"

 Brayden with the Fall decorations

 Luck Luck and Brayden, he loves to aggravate lucky! Poor thing! haha

Yes, He's a WILD CHILD!

We had a busy weekend and I felt like I was going NON STOP! To start of

 my weekend, Thursday all of my teachers decided we needed to have tests on Tuesday (yesterday). So boy was my stress level up! I made it though, they're over now thank goodness! :) Friday, I studied most of the day and Tad went hunting that afternoon. I had planned on cooking Tilipia that night but mother was cooking chili and I knew Tad would rather have that than fish so we ate with my parents. Saturday, Brayden and I got up and went to Opp Fest for awhile, Tad was hunting that morning. We didn't stay very long because it was past Brayden's nap time and he was getting ill. We went home, Brayden took a nap and I studied some more and cooked us some lunch so it would be ready by the time he woke up. Needless to say he didn't wake up and I had to wake him up in order to be at church at 1 for the Fall Festival. He loved the FF, Eli wanted to take him around and do the games with him, so of course I let him. Eli is my big helper, He loves playing with Brayden and it always gives me chance to do something that I need to do. :) He's just doing all the things for Brayden that I did for him :)haha... Saturday night we were at my parents house, Tad and My daddy grilled pork tenderloin, and chicken wings :) I don't eat pork tenderloin..yes I know I'm wierd but its gross! Sunday was church and I studied for my tests in between church. :) Monday night Tad grilled us Steak and I made homemade mashed potatoes, and after we ate we roasted marshmellows! I don't really like them but I did eat 1 or 2. I went to the eye doctor yesterday because Monday afternoon my eye was all red again. Two weeks ago I woke up with a red eye, and I figured it was Pink Eye..so the doctor called me in some ey drops for it, and it went away. Well Monday it was back, and Aunt Sam said it didn't look like pink eye that I needed to go to the doctor. I went yesteday and I don't have Pink Eye, I have protein on my eye. Gross I know! He said that I have a whole bunch of little particals floating around on my eye and gave more eye drops. So hopefully these eye drops will get rid of it this time. My eye doesn't bother me, it was a wierd feeling though, but doesn't itch or anything, I can't explain it. Tomorrow starts my schedule at dance, I asked for Thursday's off and Mrs. S- didn't want me to have the whole day off, which is okay. She did decide to let me start leaving an hour early, and thats okay with  me!:) So I will now leave at 515 on Thursday's instead of 615! Just gives me more time with Brayden and more time to do my schoolwork. By the way, I cannot believe it's NOVEMBER! It's almost Christmas time, CRAZY! When Tad gets back home, we are going to go ahead and start some of our Christmas shopping :) I'm excited about shopping for Brayden this year just because he's older and will know a little more. Anyway.. Here are a few pictures while we were roasting them...

 Tad roasting marshmellows while talking to Uncle Nicky and of course they were talking about HUNTING!

 Daddy and Brayden, Brayden didn't care to put to eat..he just wantedto play...

 Mommy and Brayden needed a picture together too. :)

 Miss Oki Grace roasting her marshmellow, she didn't care to eat them either..

 Max and his big smile, Bless his heart he didn't have good luck with the fire!

 Told Ya! his marshmellow! It was a little toasted..

  And of course Eli really didn't want his picture taken, you can tell by the fake smile. I took it anyway!

Thank Goodness for some Sleep!

Brayden slept all night last night! No crying, No screaming, No NOTHING! :) Thank goodness! He feel asleep in my arms while I was watching TV in the living room. So once I decided he was good and asleep I put him in his crib, and usually he wakes up but he didn't this time. After I put him in his crib I stayed up a little longer, and around 9:30 I went to bed and watched tv. I woke up around 12:30 and decided to go get him and put him in the bed with me. The bed felt very lonely without him, but I know I've got to start putting him in his bed. We plan on getting a twin bed for him pretty soon and I'm going to want him to sleep in it. Slowly but surely Tad and I will start letting him sleep in his crib more, and hopefully we'll sleep better too! :) Tad comes home tomorrow night, and I can't wait to see him and spend 7 days with him! Brayden is taking his morning nap right now, and I really need to be doing some school work but I just can't seem to get very motivated today. I've been trying to do a little online christmas shopping this morning, and it hasn't been going so well. I didn't have intentions on ordering anything today, but thought I would try and get some ideas....yeah right... I haven't found anything except a few things that Tad and I have already talked about getting Brayden. I want to get Tad some surprises but I just can't seem to find anything that catches my eye! He's knows that he's getting an ipod touch, so thats not really a surprise to him..I need to be ordering that too! Anyway, I'm going to try to start doing the Menu Monday that Toyia is doing, so I will try to do that post later this afternoon. I love to cook, just normally after dance I'm so tired I don't want too, but I'm going to try and cook everynight this week with the exception of Friday, which I may cook if we're home but you never know we might go out to eat :) I'm not sure what our plans are for the weekend, I know Saturday we have our Fall Festival at our church so we will be there some of the day. As far as Friday, I'm positive that Tad will most likely be hunting if his ladder stand comes in(which it should be here any day now). Well, I better get Brayden and I some lunch cooked before he wakes up from his nap. :)

Is it Night Time Yet??

The past 2 nights have been the roughest 2 nights that Brayden and I have had since he had the fever virus sometime last year. He has been waking himself up screaming, and hardly anything makes him happy. I can walk him around bouncing him in my arms and that helps for a little while, and then he gets tired of that. So needless to say we haven't been getting much sleep the past 2 days. Last night he started running fever..but it wasn't that high..Thank Goodness! He got his first set of molars in several months ago, but they haven't came all the way through yet. So last Monday when we went for Brayden's 18 month check-up, Dr.Germanson said that he may run a low fever and tug at his ears some as the molars start coming on through. Then I talked to Aunt Sam this morning after church, and said that they will sometimes have more dirty diapers and fever. So I'm guessing that's whats going on with Brayden, because he normally only has 1 dirty diaper a day and has had 2 a day for the past 2 days. And of course all of this happens while Tad is at work. So I CANNOT wait for him to get home, so that maybe I can get some sleep. I'm praying for a better night tonight, and hopefully both of us will get some sleep :) The days are fine, other than I'm just tired..but Brayden doesn't scream or anything during the day when he takes his naps. Maybe I should be dreading the night time other than asking if it's night time yet! haha...Tad will be home Tuesday night for his 7 days off! :) Brayden and I are excited to get to spend some time with him thats more than just a day! Which he will be hunting most of the time, but at least he will be in the same state as us. Hopefully we are going to plan a trip somewhere, we don't know where yet but Tad wants to go somewhere and do Christmas shopping. Which I'm all up for a trip and shopping :). For right now, I'll just be going to school and dance!

 We went to the fair Thursday night after I got out of dance, and Brayden LOVED all the lights! I knew he was really to small for most of the rides, but I love going to the fair and seeing all the bright lights :). He was very interested in some of the rides and what they were doing. Of course I let him play the duck game, and yes I wanted to play too. Only its different now than when I used to play when I was little. It doesn't have numbers on the bottom of the ducks anymore...which kind of takes the fun out of it! He just wanted to hit the ducks and not pick them up, so I had to pick the ducks up for him.

 He only rode the carasoul (I'm not sure how to spell that) and Tad's dad rode with him, I don't like them..the animals looky freaky to me. He seemed to have enjoyed it though ;)

 Brayden was telling me that he needed some lotion, he thinks he needs lotion ALL the time! As you can see Brayden's newest thing is pulling out all of our movies and throwing them in the floor. Tad and I pick them up SEVERAL times a day, but it doesn't seem to help! haha... I guess he's just being a boy...

I hope everyone has a blessed week!!

Just like New

 This picture was taken Thursday night while I was cooking Brayden and I supper. He was being soo sweet playing in the living room, and then he decided he needed to take a break on the couch. Notice all the slober on his shirt, I've never known a child to slober as much..Well I guess I do, it would be me... :) When I was in middle school I had to wear a lip bumper before I got braces, and it made my bottom lip poke out so I would slobber occasionally, and sometimes I still do. haha... Anyway, Mother and I cleaned my carpets yesterday and they looked SOO much better! We will really be able to tell today, I haven't been home yet since we stayed here last night to let the carpet dry. So, I'm anxious to see if it did as good as a job as I think it did! I hope so.. Our carpet was filthy, and I don't understand how it could get that dirty. I'm hoping it looks just like NEW!:) Tad was pretty happy that we cleaned it, he has been wanting it done for awhile now. When I talked to him last night he said he wanted hardwood all throughout our house whenever we get to build one. :) They are finally getting to stay on location now, and out of those crappy hotel rooms! Bless their hearts, I don't see how they lived in that hotel for that long, I could barely make it one night! He made it through and now is able to start cooking instead of eating out everyday..and most importantly wear CLEAN CLOTHES! :) Brayden has learned a few new words this past week....stink stink, change it, turtle, golf cart, and pig. Of course his favorite word is NO! I will ask him anything and he says "Noooooo" and makes a funny face. He loves to dance and will start dancing in the middle of nowhere, there doesn't even have to be music playing sometimes. I guess he's going to be like his mommy and LOVE to dance! :) I don't know what we have planned for today, Mother had to go work registration for the fair this morning, and won't get off until 1 and daddy of course is in the deer woods. Brayden and I may go meet mother in Andy when she gets off and do some running around with her. He is asleep right now and I have nothing to do, which I guess I could do my math homework, but I think that can hold off until tomorrow afternoon or Monday! :)

Brayden was only up for about and hour and a half this morning before he crashed again. I was sitting on the love seat and he crawled up and sat with me, and the next thing I knew his head was falling over and his eyes were closed. I picked him up and held him on my chest for a few minutes then went and laid him down in our bedroom. It used to be "my" bedroom, but since Brayden came along he's kind of taken over some. Here's a picture of him asleep as we speak! Have a good Saturday everyone and WAR EAGLE! :)

What a day!

My day started at 5 am this morning, and boy was I wanting to stay in the bed! I was soo sleepy and of course I didn't sleep to well last night. We stayed with Izzy and Papa T since Papa T kept Brayden today while I was at school, and I wouldn't have to wake Brayden up at 6:30 for me to bring him down here. Once I got to school I felt better and wasn't so tired...thank goodness! After my first class was over I went down to the deli and got a fried chicken sandwhich that was YUMMY! Ohh it was soo good. I didn't eat breakfast before I left home because I was afraid it would make me sick. Sometimes breakfast makes me sick if I eat to early in the morning. So I was starving by 10:15! :) Overall, I had a good day at school and right now I'm not to sleepy but I'm sure by the time I watch One Tree Hill and Teen Mom..I will be worn slame out! We are working on week 2 without Tad and we miss him TONS. I wish he were home but I'm glad that we have him and that he wants to take good care of Brayden and I.

Oki and Brayden one night at momma's house during a football game, They were so sweet riding the train together.

 The next few pictures are of Brayden and Oki Grace having snack time in the garage after playing hard in the yard. They both had their Opp Bobcats shirts on, and I thought it would be nice to have a picture of them together in their shirts.

 Brayden is dressing up as a dinosaur this year for Halloween and I cannot wait! He looks SOOO cute! It came in the other Saturday and I just had to try it on him and snap a picture. Last year, he was a girraffe and I'm pretty positive nothing will ever top that costume and how CUTE he looked in it, but the dinosaur comes pretty close! Plus I loved it because it was green, which is my favorite color.

 Doesn't he look just soo dern cute??? I think he does...He has to be the sweetest and cutest dinosaur that I've ever seen!!! :)

I hope everyone has a great week!

Oh yeah, Brayden's doctor appt. got cancelled Friday so I had to reschedule it for Monday the 18th! My poor boy has to get shots...I would say that I would take them for him if I could, but I really hate shots too. So, I just wish that he didn't have to have them, or maybe his daddy would come take them for him..  ;)

The Smallest things have the Biggest Difference! :)

Tad left for work last Monday, and most likely won't be home for another 2 weeks. :( So, Brayden and I surprised him with a trip to MS to see him on Saturday! We went with Amy and little miss Emma and had a great trip! :) We were sad to leave yesterday since we probably won't get to see Tad for awhile. We did enjoy our time with him though and Brayden was soo happy to see his daddy. It's going to be a long 2 weeks without him I'm sure! I have an 8 o'clock class that starts tomorrow, and I'm sure I will be super tired tomorrow night! So, that means that I have to get up at 5:00!!! I'm just not used to that at all, but I'm sure I will get used to by December...well maybe anyway! haha...It's only on Tuesday's since it's just a Hybrid class and part of it is online. I don't have dance this week since Opp Schools are out for Fall Break, which gives me time to spend with Brayden ;) Thursday was Tad's birthday, and bless his heart he was at work! He says that he turned 21 but in reality he turned 27!!! He's getting really close to 30.... He just wishes he was as young as me! haha..

This was Brayden last night after we got home from Izzy and Papa T's house, he fell asleep beside me sitting up while I was watching tv. So before I went to sleep I turned the light on and had to get a picture!  He was pooped from his ride home yesterday, but he was glad he got to see his daddy!

 Well last November I asked Aunt Sam if she could make me some new curtains for my kitchen, because we had the ones that came with the house and they were not my style! :) She told me to go get some fabric at T&C, so thats what I did. Well she was busy and wasn't able to make them over Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays. I would tease her about making everything else and not my curtains! Well it was about time for summer and she "promised" me that she would make them this summer...so do you think I got them this summer? NOOO!!! :) She was busy, yes I know! So, while we were on our way to MS Saturday she called me and said " Valerie is going to make your curtains" I was soo HAPPY! It's been 11 months since I bought that fabric and FINALLY I'm getting some curtains :) When Brayden and I got home yesterday the first stop we made was at Aunt Sam's house to get the curtains and they are sooo cute! I'm crazy about the color green it's my favorite so of course my curtains have a lot of green in them. Here are a few pictures of my new curtains! Valerie and Aunt Sam thank you soo much! :)

Always remember if your not a "PAYING COSTUMER" your sewing things come last!!! hahaha... The paying costumers always come first! Believe me its the truth. I mean it took almost a whole year to get some curtains for my kitchen! I love you Aunt Sam! Now, is Brayden going to have some shirts for this winter or am I going to have to starve him so that maybe you'll have them done by next winter and he'll be able to wear them??? HAHAHA! LOVE YOU!

Just a Few things...

Our weekend started out with a yardsale on Saturday morning. My mother and I had a yardsale together, and we did pretty good too. We were just glad to get rid of everything and not have it in our houses anymore, which most of it was in her house...haha :) So after the yardsale was over we both took a nap with Brayden since we had been up since 4:30! Tad and my daddy smoked a boston butt and they cooked me Tilapia because I don't eat boston butt...Yes I know I'm weird... I got Aunt Sam to bake Tad a pound Cake for his birthday since he won't be home for his birthday on Thursday. So we had pound cake and homemade ice cream! It was YUUUMMMYYY! Tad will be 27 on Thursday, though he says that he's going to be 21. I guess he's already starting to get senile. haha. He left for work today which is a day early, but its okay since he's been home almost 3 weeks with us! We still miss him of course but we got to spend some extra time with him. He left around 10 this morning and Brayden and I have been absolutely lazy all day long. We went to mother and daddy's for a little while tonight and just relaxed..haha... So we really haven't done ANYTHING at all today. I did wash clothes today, clean Brayden's room, go through some of his summer clothes to sell, and clean the kitchen. Other than that we have played inside and outside today. Tomorrow is back to school and Dance, but its payday tomorrow! :) so thats always a good day! ;) I will make 3 trips to Dothan this week, because Brayden has his 18 month appt. on Friday morning.Brayden is passed out right beside in the bed laying on top of all our pillows. He looks so comfortable and peaceful! I wish I slept as good as he does at night. It's almost 10:30 and I have a long drive to Dothan in the morning.

Of course this is their gameday picture! Tad holding a number 1... I'm assuming he's trying to say that Auburn in number 1. :) Brayden can say War and Hey but he's missing the Eagle part so we're still working on that part!

I'm not exactly sure what Brayden was doing in this picture, but I thought he caught his little personality just right! I kind of looks like he's trying to sing... We have a microphone at Mother and Daddy's house that goes to the karaoke machine and Brayden LOVES playing with it. He hollers into it and walks around and wants us to holler into it also. So cute, We always tell him he needs to be on American Idol. :) He will be my BIG 18month old on Wednesday, and it makes me want to cry cry cry! I just think about how small he was this time last year and that he was just starting to try to scoot around the floor, and feeding him bottles every 4 hours! I miss that soo much! Here are a few pictures of my baby boy this time last year!HAPPY 18 MONTHS TO MY SWEET BRAYDEN PIERCE TISDALE! I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE BEING YOUR MOMMY! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR THIS BIG ALREADY...

I hope ya'll have a wonderful work either at work or school, and I'm so blessed to have such a sweet and healthy little boy. :)

Our Past Week....

We had a great week! School was good, dance was good, everything was just good...nothing bad! *haha* Tad is home..He came home last Friday because they switched his rig again. Which is a good thing since his new rig is in MS. Shorter drive and less money we have to fork out for gas! Makes me much happier that I don't have to worry about Tad on that long drive anymore to Texas! Anyway, I'm taking an Art Appreciation class online, and I've known for about a month that I had to do a art project due on Wednesday. Well, of course I wait until Wednesday to do it!!! I CAN NOT DRAW I repeat I CAN NOT DRAW!!!! It doesn't matter if I spent a week working on that project I really don't think that it would have been much better than I did it in just a couple of hours. I cannot draw stick people...How in the world am I supposed to draw the Mona Lisa? I mean COME ON!!! I never made higher than a "B" in my high school art class, I think she just felt sorry for me and let me have a B. But Its over and its turned in! Thank goodness!!!! Wednesday night I didn't sleep a wink! So, when it was time for me to get up on Thursday morning for school, I felt horrible. My left ear hurt, I was sleepy, and sneezed my head off about 30 times I think! I made it to school and Math Class was absolutley STRESSFULL. I have never learned to much math within an hour and a half in my whole entire lifetime! I thought my brain was going to explode. So, after math I went to my evolutionary psy. class and the teacher wasn't there so we watched a video on the evolution of diseases. Very interesting I must say! Mother, Gail, and Sam were in Dothan all visiting doctors... So I met them and we went to the mall to shop. None of us really got much...I did get some sandals for $15 at Dillards which are Gianni Bini...I thought that was a steal!:) Friday Mother, Brayden and I went to Lowe's after she got home from work to get some blinds for my house. We have those cheap white blinds that came with our trailor, and Brayden has torn them to pieces! I want some better ones that he wouldn't be able to mess these up. I only bought 2 sets since they are kind of pricey. These will go in our bedroom and we will work our way down to Brayden's room to replacing the blinds. Today, Tad is with Josh Carnley at the Auburn Game...He has been so excited all week long about this game. It started Monday...and by Tuesday morning I was ready for Saturday!haha...But I'm happy that he's getting to go since he hasn't been able to go in the past couple of years. I hope he has a good time and enjoys being around all the Auburn Fans!!!WARRRR EAGGGLLEEE!

This was last Saturday, we were planning on having company for the game that night, so I decided to make cookies and Brayden wanted to help!! :)

He had soo much fun, but wanted to eat all of it!

Brayden had a blast playing outside while Daddy cooked us supper for the Auburn game last weekend!

Brayden doesn't like to get his hands dirty at all...

Pinapples for Breakfast! He wanted this and nothing else!

Brayden Pierce looking like his daddy!

He demanded that he feed himself this morning...Needless to say that we had grits EVERYWHERE!

My sweet Baby Boy was soo sleepy, and had been playing hard that morning!
