He was having a good time playing with Riley. I see those two getting into lots of trouble together in there near future! :) Me and Trace stayed the night at Granny's and got the next morning and headed back to camp to see daddy before heading to got stay with nana and papaw. 

                    This is Trace's new buddy Hank,he belongs to Trace's uncle Kevin.

It's been awhile

It has been awhile since I've posted and thought I would try by best to catch up ,and post more often. Well since the last post Trace has turned 1, He had a great birthday.

                                           We had a very uneventful September.

In October we started it off with a Trip to the Pumpkin patch at bobrook farms!

                                           Trace loved the Corn pit!!!                               

                             Then we went to Memphis zoo and had a blast!!!               

         Trace loved all the animals !!!!!!!    

     Then came the LR Zoo with Daddy's work!!                                                                        

                                                        Then Boo at the ZOO

Halloween

So as Thanksgiving and Christmas grow near, We are getting rather excited for are little guy to enjoy all the fun things to come! He has been such a joy to Wayne and I ! He is growing so fast and he's such a little smart little guy! Trace can knows were his nose is,he can point his finger at you and say no! , He can wave and say Bye Bye, he says momma,and dada.He loves to act like he's talking on the phone,he goes around with the phone saying huh into it, so cute, and so much more!

On another note, I read alot,because of my job I have time to when I'm at work. I've read a few of Nicholas Spark's books, and I really enjoy reading his books! So about a week ago I went to a used book store and Got most of the ones that I haven't read!! Right now I'm reading A Bend in the Road, and so far it's pretty good! These are the one's that I have read Three weeks with my brother,Dear John,The last song, and the best of me! I can't wait to read them all :)


                                                                               

Getting Big

   My Little man is growing up so fast and next week he will be turning one. I wonder where all the time has gone? I wish there was some way to get some of it back or some way to prolong the inevitable of my baby growing up! It only seems like yesterday that I was holding that chubby cheeked cutie for the first time! Now I lucky if he lets me hold him at all. He's such a busy little boy and into everything. He is such a joy to my heart and I thank God everyday for my Trace! Wayne and I wonder often what we did before Trace got here and we don't seem to remember,it must of not of been important.This has been the fastest year ever and I very sad to see it go! Trace has his party this weekend and we can't wait!!!

Finally....

         My Child has FINALLY started sleeping in his crib all night! Though I miss are late night cuddles,I so don't miss the being kicked and hit.We are both so rested when we wake up.He's only been doing it for a week, and only after one night of some tough love. I had to adjust how I was going about getting him to stay and sleep all night in his crib.Everyone was saying to let him cry it out,which is fine I have know problem with that. The one thing was,everyone was saying to pat him and tell him to go back to sleep, to just stay in the room with him. Well that didn't work,he got more upset when he could actually see me. So the first time he woke up ,I had went in there and he threw the big fit, so I left. So after a few minutes of course he is fast asleep. Then a few hours later he was up again,this time I didn't go in, I cracked the door and peaked in. He was fine and he wasn't even standing and screaming like he usually  is he was just fussing and moving around. He woke up a once of twice more that night,but I didn't go back in there,I just peaked in on him.So ever since then he's done great. He's even started to sleep in when we can! Like I said I am sleeping better,but ever time I wake up I have to go check on him.I can't help my self, long gone the nights of sleeping through with out waking up. Since Trace has been born I have supersonic hearing, I can wake up to a pen drop, I have the six sense like know other. I know a hurt cry from a tired cry to a hungry cry. I know my child like the back of my own hand. There is nothing like being a mother!
    Trace has been walking and taking a few steps for the last few weeks,but now he is really after it. He walks everywhere, and hardly crawls anymore. He is always on the more,never still not even for a minute.When he falls ,he's right back at it 90 to nothing. Trace is such a fast learned,you show him how to do something once and usually he'll do it to. He loves for you to chase him, and he's pretty fast!       

                  Well everyone have a good Monday

Monday......

 Another weekend has came and gone......I hate Monday's,it's something about starting the same thing over again that just gets under my skin.The week is so repetitive,well most of the times. Not that I don't like routine,because I do. I thrive for routine, but it's something about Monday's that it is so not routine,it's the opposite,it's chaos.
  On another note,I plan to get back on my diet today. I have been doing weightwatchers ,but I have fallen off the wagon for the last two weeks so i'm jumping back on. I probably shouldn't have had that krispy kreme mocha this morning but Oh well.
                           Well everyone have a wonderful week!!!!!

Playing catch up.

              I have so much to catch up on since the last time I posted! So where to begin? The 4th of July has came and gone already! This year is just zooming by us,which makes me really sad! I guess I'll start with the 4th of July. We went to the lake with my brother-in-law and his girlfriend,her parents and my mother-in-law. We headed up there after I got off work on Friday. We had such amazing time while we were there. Trace was such a joy ,and was so happy all weekend! He loved the water and sleep alot when we were on the boat.He had to get use to the life jacket,but after he did it didn't seem to bother him that much.Trace didn't get to see any fireworks this year,when we were on the lake we were going to watch them saturday night but the boast would not start. Then Monday night the actually 4th,they always shoot tons in our subdivison,so I thought he would get to see somethen,but of course he was asleep. So may next year my little man can see some fireworks. So the 4th of July was really good. Trace is now walking,not full speed ahead but he is walking,he rather crawl because he's so much faster but he's walking more and more each day. I hate that my little guy is growing up so fast, and that to make it worst his 1st birthday is at the end of next month. I never knew a year could go by so fast it seems like we just bought him home and that he should still be itty bitty!
    I'm reading a new book by charlaine Harris which is the author of Sookie stackhouse novels. The name of the book is grace sight,its a series called The Harper Connelly Mysteries,and so far it's really good. I've been trying to read alot more,but sometimes it's really hard to do and I get so distracted sometimes. I've been reading a little when I'm home with Trace and he's taking a nap. When I get done with this book I have another waiting to be read The Yada Yada Prayer Group. It looks really good and I've heard good things about it.
   In less then a month will be are 4 year wedding anniversary. It doesn't seem that we've been married that long.I guess time flys when your with someone you love and adore. I think I know what I'm going to get him and I hope he likes it. He asked me what I wanted last night and to be honest I have no idea, I have everything that I could ever want,but i'm sure I could think of a little something else :) .

Praying......

       The other day I was looking on my news feed on Facebook, and saw were Wayne's cousin Stacey had posted a link to a blog , it had a cute little baby's picture on it and said to pray so I clicked on it. After that I started to read ,and my heart started to break for a family that I didn't even know. I have not been able to stop thinking about them, I pray that God wraps his arms around this family.They asked that everyone pray for 1. Miller's COMFORT 2. Cole's UNDERSTANDING 3. Meredith and Patrick's STRENGTH. Miller is there son that was born in March that is sick with SMA Type 1 (Spinal Muscular Atrophy), and Cole is there oldest son. I could not ever imagine, having to go through
