School School and more School

Well for the past 2 weeks I feel like all I have done is work on school stuff, and in the past 2 weeks I feel like I have accomplished NOTHING! This is why I am always so stressed out and have all these horrible headaches that will just NOT go away. Dance probably plays a role in this also. I'm in the process of scheduling dates for pictures, and none of my dates are matching with the dates of the costume arrivals. I really wish Mrs. S- would have let me order the costumes because I would have done it over Christmas and I wouldn't be so stressed about if their going to be here in time. DRS Parents all of the costume confirmations say that they will be here in time, so don't stress! :) I will do all the stressing for the both of us. Anyway, My professors are just piling all this stuff on us at the end of the semester. I'm giving a presentation of Rastafarianism today for my World Religions class, and I 'm very nervous about getting in front of the class to speak. Doing something in high school like this was a piece of cake because I knew the people I was standing in front of, and could crack up during it. This class I know NOBODY and I talk to nobody and I'm getting even more nervous now... Maybe my voice won't crack to bad while I'm talking.
Brayden went for his 1year check up yesterday. He weighed 20lbs and was 28 in. long. He is a healthy little boy and is starting to get one of his molars in, which explains some of his illness that he has been having. I started him on whole milk and will drink some of it, but only in a bottle. He refuses to drink it out of his cup. So this is going to be a working progress! This past Friday we had his 1year pictures done and I cannot wait to see them. He did soooo good! I still can't believe that he is a year old..he will be 5 before I know it!
Mother and I are going to PCB shopping by ourselves on Friday! Its going to be a mother - daughter day! I'm am SOOO excited:) Tomorrow is the last day of tax season and I don't think I have ever been more happy see April 15 than I am right now. Brayden and I have missed Izzy entirely way to much this tax season.
Well I'm going to destress myself before I have to go give my presentation in a little while! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and weekend!

I LOVE Spring!

Brayden turned 1 yesterday! To everyone's surprise I DID NOT cry! I still can't get it through my that he has to grow up. We had a small little party last night for him, but his actually party is April 17! He loved getting his cupcake all over himself last night and he also thought that he was something since no one helped him eat it. He has been walking alot more the past couple of days, so I'm thinking that the crawling around days are over :(. That just makes me even more sad. Anyway, Here are the pictures that I promised you on Monday! I hope everyone has a blessed rest of the week and weekend.

We're Still Here!!!

All I can say is Sorry!!! We are still alive I promise :). We currently do not have internet at our house because we were spending way to much time on the computer and not paying enough attention to Brayden like we should have! So, we have learned to live without the internet, but Tad says we need to get it hooked back up. I do plan too in about a month before Summer Semester starts just because I plan on taking a online class hopefully! But let me just give you the 411 whats been going on in our lives!

I started Troy in Dothan and I absolutley LOVE it! I really enjoy my classes and my professors alot. I have to admit I do have more work than I did at LBW. Monday isn't bad normally, now Wednesday's are usually very rushed! My last class gets out at 1:30, then I drive home which is about an hour and 10 minutes normally, go get Presley and Oki Grace from Kids World and then head to dance. On top of feeling very rushed I drop Brayden off at his granny's on Wednesday's about 7:45-8:00..and I don't get to see his until 6:45 that night when I get out of dance, and if he goes to church its normally around 8:45! So I really miss him alot on Wednesday's, but I'm getting more used to it now. This summer I plan on going back to LBW for a few basics that I need and to work on my 11 electives I need to graduate :).

The beginning of February Tad, Brayden and I became members of Ino Baptist Church! We really enjoy it and all of our church family. Brayden has a had time sometimes when we leave him in the nursery on Sunday mornings or Sunday nights. On his behalf, Brayden is not used to other people watching him because he doesn't go to daycare or anything like that. I do think he is getting a little better though! He is moving out of the nursery next Sunday into Aunt Sam's Sunday School class so that will definitely help!

Dance is coming along... Recital is getting closer and closer and there is so much that needs to be done, Like finishing some Dances!! It is really starting to stress me out and I need a much needed break from it. I love Mrs. S- but I think if she would let me take care of everything that I wouldn't be soo stressed out. I know that sounds weird but I really don't think I would be as stressed as I am about it. I have to admit I do like most of the costumes this year! I can't wait to see Oki Grace out there dancing...I just wish I was able to watch it with the audience. So don't forget June 4 and 5 is our recital! We are working really hard on it and the students are working VERY hard this year!:)

Brayden had a great Easter yesterday! His basket was filled with lots of goodies, and he was so excited to see what he got. We had a very busy day too..Church, Lunch with my family, and then supper with Tad's family. At Aunt Gail's house Brayden got chocolate all over him and the front porch. Then he found a sucker in his Easter basket and pitched a fit to eat it...so of course we let him have it, and he thought he was grown getting to eat that sucker by himself. He ended up having to wear one of Trevor's shirts home.

Tomorrow April 6 Brayden Pierce Tisdale will be a year old ALREADY! Can you believe it? It makes me tear up everytime I think about it. My baby is soo big and I want him to be that 6lbs 12oz baby still! I miss being able to hold him while he sleeps on my chest. He still lets me hold him,but he's bigger now and his legs or too long.

I will have to post some pictures later, I'm at school right now inbetween my classes and I don't have my camera with me right now. I will post some pictures soon though....I PROMISE :):)

Welcome 2010

Brayden with food in his mouth...just like his DADDY!!! :)

Welcome the new decade!! 2010...I can't believe its 2010...I feel old I mean I was born in 1989 and it even sounds OLD! haha...2o09 just flew by so fast I think I missed half of it. Lots of things happened this past year...My sweet newphew Landon Parker Williams was born January 9 and then My baby boy Brayden Pierce Tisdale was born April 6..I can't believe this next thing I know I will be going to their college graduation! It makes me want to cry everyday. I will be 21 in a few short days too..it feels like I've waited for this day soo long and its almost here...WOW! Next time I blink it will be 2011....I just CANNOT BELIEVE THIS...My life is passing by my eyes soo fast and my baby boy is growing up soo fast and learning new things everyday. He now has 5 teeth! I sure hope that he is not going to be a bitter like his mommy was when she was a baby. :) I hope everyone has a great Year!! Love to all...

Mommy, Daddy, Brayden, Papa T, and Izzy New Years Eve night...boy was it COLD! BURRR

Paw Paw, Mommy, Brayden, Daddy and Granny New Years Eve night

We had a GREAT Christmas! It was soo much fun having Brayden this year and getting to see him with all his gifts. Though, he did get a bit bored with the whole opening process...he wanted to play with each toy and we kept taking it away trying to get him to open another. It was fun :) He got LOTS of toys and nowhere for them to go.. soo We have some at our house..Izzy and Papa T have some at their house...and PawPaw and Granny Tisdale have some at their house. We left the noisey toys at their houses.*haha* I know next year he will be tearing into those presents and won't need any of our help what soo ever....It's soo sad. But I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and plenty of time with your families. I know we did, I love spending time with my family and I wish we could do it more often than just a couple of times a year. Here are a few pictures from our Christmas...

It's Begining to Look Alot Like Christmas

I can't believe that it's almost Christmas!! I'm getting so excited about this being Brayden's first Christmas and Santa coming to see him. Brayden tries his best to get the decorations off the tree...so there is NOTHING on the very bottem. He can reach the ribbon that goes around the tree and he pulls it off...which is what he's doing at this very moment. He is becoming one WILD little boy and keeps his mommy and daddy on their toes constantly. Brayden is now pulling up on everything and I do mean everything!!!

Tad recently went to the Snowball Derby in Pensacola and he seemed to of had a wonderful time. He loves to go watch short track racing. He was gone from Wednesday to Sunday! Brayden and I did miss him alot. We were super glad to see him Sunday night when he got home :)

I registered for Troy Monday and I start in January! I'm getting really excited and I can't wait to start! I will be done with LBW Monday. I do plan on going back to LBW in the summer though to finish some of my basic classes that I still need to take. Well Brayden is now wanting some breakfast so I better go get him something to eat..but here are a few pictures

Have a blessed Holiday Season!!!

Halloween Is Over :(

This is Brayden's First Halloween and He was the cutest Baby Giraffe if I do say soo myself. I enjoyed seeing him in his costume and showing him off. We didn't go trick or treating this year, but we will definetly be going next year! I'm sure that he will enjoy it more next year too.
My Sweet Little Baby Giraffe Brayden..

Us before our Halloween Party Started

Mommy and Brayden...The Witch and the Baby Giraffe

I hope that everyone had a fabulous Halloween! We had a great day together as a family. We went to Opp Fest yesterday morning with Aunt Sam and Oki Grace..I think Aunt Sam enjoyed pushing Brayden around in his stroller! I held Oki's hand...let me tell you thats a heck of a job! She walked looking back the whole time and ran into to me several times, but I enjoyed spending time with them. We don't get to do that much anymore!
