A Day With the Animals!

My friends Courtney and Trish invited us to go the the Nashville Zoo today. Emily was so excited! We went with their sons, Parker and Sawyer (Courtney's boys) and Lincoln (Trish's son). A good time was had by all. I just wanted to share a few of the cute pictures with everyone. And the best part was we ate at Fazoli's afterwards! I never forget about the food! Courtney...if you and Matt decide to open a Fazoli's, I guarentee some business from our end! We definitely had fun with the animals (both at the zoo and our own)!

Soccer Season!

Well, it has begun! It is, as many of you know from your own children, soccer season! Madlyn is playing for the same team she has played for the last 3 years...and loves it! This is the first year that she has had her name on the back of her jersey and she "is pumped"! She says she is determined to "win at least one game". Now if that is not optimism, I don't know what is!

It is Emily's first season and she was so excited to go to her first practice. I'm not sure she realized what she was getting into. However, they are so stinkin' cute out there. Someone (usually Emily) asks for a water break about every 4 minutes! The coach said "we are going to have to get you girls in shape!" And he ain't kidding! Let me say there is alot of sitting and laying down on that soccer field! But as Emily says, "Boy mom, I sure do look good!"

Their first game of the season was cancelled due to the weather so we have our technical first game tomorrow. I think Madlyn will do well...Emily we will just have to see! I will post some more pictures during the season. Who knows...we may end up with 2 seasoned soccer players at the end. Or maybe, one athlete and a girl who likes to pick the flowers in the outfield (for those of you who remember me playing softball as a child)! Either way, we will know one thing...Boy, we will look good!

Alot of excitement

Well, I never thought I would see the day when Jeremy got rid of his beloved truck! Not to mention, the day that he decided to buy a CAR instead of another truck! But this weekend, Jeremy surprised us all. He purchased a black Chevy Impala. And apparently feels very spunky in it! He is like a little boy with a new toy! I'm sure he will drive this car into the ground too.

We also came up with a name...Isabelle Gracelyn Brown. Thank you to everyone who voted on our poll! And, no, Isabelle was not an option on the poll at all. We came up with it after I posted it. But all of us like it and hopefully you do too. It was interesting to me...the winner by a landslide was Gabrielle. But, everyone either seemed to LOVE IT or HATE IT. So I guess some of you will be either thrilled or completely devastated. I know you will pick up the pieces and move on with your lives! We also received alot of emails with other suggestions and we appreciated all of them. I am tired but feeling good otherwise and trying to organize the house to see what we still need for the baby. I hope everyone is doing well and I will keep you all updated. I love you.
