Break!  

Posted by: Jason, Kelly and Tanner


So, exams are finally over. We got iced in for about 3 days prior to my last exam. The ice storm came on Saturday night and we were stuck in the house until Wednesday. Actually I think Jason went to work on Tuesday but my school was still closed. A friend of ours, Michelle, stayed with us b/c her power went out during the storm. She finally got power on Friday night...how crazy is that??!!


So now I have a 4 week break and my goal is to not spend money. With one income we knew it would be tough but we weren't sure how tough. I just can't thank Jason enough for this opporunity he is helping me achieve!


So Tanner has been sick for about a week and a half now. It started as a cold, then an ear infection in both ears, then to his lungs and now a cold again. It's really freaking me out b/c this is only the second time he's been sick and I swear it won't go away. Once the snotty nose went away and it got in his lungs we thought it would clear up after we got the inhaler. Now it's another cold and we are hoping it doesn't go through the cycle again. I'm a nervous wreck, as always. We are suppose to head to Birmingham on Wednesday night and with him being sick I'm dreading the drive and the "vacation." However, it will be nice to see everyone and for everyone to meet Tanner. My dad hasn't seen him yet, so that will be neat for them to meet him. My mom has come out to Arizona and Oklahoma to see him...she's so awesome!!


So, now I just sit around waiting for my grades to see if I passed or not. If I don't pass, I'll be shocked but that's how it goes. I just want to graduate, pass the bar and start this career finally! I just feel like I've gotten a really late start in my career path. I was lost for so long in what I wanted to do, I really had no clue and now about 8 months before I turn 30 I'm finally seeing the light! I guess its better I figured it out at some point than never at all!


So I'll try to post more on my break, hopefully I'll have wonderful news that my precious baby boy is well and into everything again!!!

Almost Done with this semester  

Posted by: Jason, Kelly and Tanner


So, I'm almost completed with my first semester of law school. I have one more exam on Wednesday...Torts! It's been pretty rough. Studying 12 hours plus a day, not seeing Jason or Tanner but maybe an hour a day. I know it will all be worth it. Sunday mornings have been our family time since the school library doesn't open until 1pm. I've enjoyed every minute I have with them.

Come Wednesday, I'm a full time wife and mom again and I can't wait! We can go meet Daddy for lunch if we want, go hang out at the mall, go to wal-mart and buy more things Tanner doesn't need!!! I'm excited to have NOTHING planned!!


So let's talk Tanner!

He has four teeth and another we can see on the way. He can stand on his own, but only holding on to something. He crawls when he wants but still mainly rolls to get where he needs to get. He's an awesome baby, hardly complains. When he's sick I want to hold him and take care of him, and could care less. He had a cold and an ear infection and it was like he didn't skip a beat. He was more tired but not too bad to be around, I was shocked.
He eats like a champ, we give it to him, he puts it in his mouth, chews it up and continues on his way. Of course, Jason has to feed him big people food. I refuse. I have this TERRIBLE fear of him chocking so I can't do it. Jason will give him peas, carrots, anything that he can chew and he does it. So thankfully we have Daddy to allow him to learn and grow properly! Mom is too much of a scaredy cat to do that! :)
Well...I better get back to studying...I'll post more on my time off! I'm very much looking forward to it!
