Aunt Rheba

Yesterday, Aunt Rheba and her daughter Lisa came down to visit and see Lily. We all had the best time and it was so SO wonderful seeing them!
We visited awhile, then we all went out to eat at Longhorn.
That's Mom, Aunt Rheba and Dad. Lisa sat beside me on one side and Brandon on the other with Britt and Lily on the other side of him. I didn't get any pics of them!
Here's Dad....
I want to say here that he made us all a Banana Pudding to take home and mine was the biggest and the bestest! It was SOOO good and a work of art!
This morning, before I sat down to blog this, I had laid Lily down to sleep. I HAD to take this picture of her asleep. She sleeps ALOT, so I don't have alot of pics of her awake yet.
We love her SO much!!!!
Also, Mike's Grandma Terry finally finished Lily's quilt. She hand embroidered it, mostly hand sewed it and hand quilted it.
The picture here looks nice, but to see it in person and really study it, you see how intricate her stitches are and appreciate the time she put into this.
It's a keepsake Lily will always have and will be treasured by all of us!
Here is a picture of Dillon and Brandon taken recently. I can't wait for Ashley to come home with her boyfriend so I can get a picture of the 3 of them!
Brandon's the one with his mouth full of DIP! whatev.
Welp, that's it for the moment. Let me go so I can see what else this day will hold and possibly get more pictures of!
More soon-

She's asleep in her crib and I had to grab my camera for this picture...
HAVE YOU EVER IN YOUR LIFE! Her little hands just get me!
More soon!

Nashville 2011

As I had mentioned earlier, Court, Dillon and Mike went to Nashville for Court to audition for The Voice. The audition was brief and didn't pan out. I'm not quite sure what they were looking for, but it wasn't quality!
It was Dillon's first time in Nashville and Mike really enjoyed showing him the highlights of the city.
After the audition, the three enjoyed all the sights and sounds that Nashville had to offer. Court even was able to sing around town and everyone loved her.
Here Court is headed to her audition at like, 5am.
Here Dillon is checking out "E" as his fans love to call him...
"E" was EVERYWHERE!
They went to Ernest Tubb's
went by Tootsie's
and the back alley that so many of the country stars used to get from the Ryman auditorium to Tootsie's back in the day...
Court left her mark in Nashville!
and got to sing with the band at Nashville Palace. Alot of the band members here play for some of the big stars during tour season.
They went to the Country Music Hall of Fame...
You can find all the pics here....
Even tho Court didn't make it onto The Voice, they had a great time and will DEFINITELY go back!
More soon!

The Tadpole for Grandma Terry's 93rd Birthday!!!

Can you believe she's 93!
I lost count as to how many family showed up, but it was a bunch!
And of course, Lily!
I think everyone got to hold her.
It was a great evening and great food!
Here are all the pictures from that night...
