Weekend Update x2

Re-cap of the last two weeks…

The weekend before last, we cooked out Friday night. Spent a family day Saturday, then watched the ballgame with our neighbors whom we love. Sunday went to church and then had a birthday party at 4. It was SUPER cute. Our friends Lindsey and Justin's youngest son turned 1. Lane had an awesome birthday party at their families farm in Brownville. Their oldest son Brenton is Reagan's age and they love playing together. Although, it's already starting where he is a boy and does not a want a girl playing with his things. Or driving his power wheels for that matter!! At the party they had two different bounce houses set up. Normally, we cannot get Reagan to go into the big ones, but she decided that this time was different. She LOVED it and would not come out.

Fast forward to this weekend. Friday night TC and I went with Lindsey and Josh (little Anna Claire's parent's) to see Dustin Lynch and Corey Smith at the Tuscaloosa Ampitheater. It was so awesome for TC and I, because Dustin Lynch was the band at our wedding!! We found him in a bar singing in Nashville while we were seniors in college. After his show that night, TC and I went up to talk to him because we were so impressed. I asked if he did wedding and he politely told me NO!

Well, after a few emails and some begging and pleading he agreed to drive down to Tuscaloosa to play at our wedding. We also went back to Nashville for a weekend so mom and dad could see who they were paying for!  A couple of months later he was at our wedding on May 31, 2008. He was AWESOME and had everyone at our wedding up and dancing the entire time. We love him and were so proud to watch him on the stage at the ampitheater playing his new single.

Saturday afternoon Tc and Reagan headed up to Barbers Motor Speedway to camp out. Meemee and Pa got a small motorhome to take to the races. Back in the day when TC was riding motorcross I would go with his family for the weekend and stay at the tracks. (Those were the good ole' days huh TC). His "glory" days if you will.

I stayed home by myself Saturday night and laid around. TC called to see what I was doing and I had to tell him watching a movie and crying my eyes out at the sad part. Sunday morning I set my alarm to get up early and meet them in Bham. I woke up to the rain and called TC to find out they were sitting in the rain too. He advised me not to come and waste my time. Plus I was going to have to drive to Bham in the rain… NO thanks.

They ended up home Sunday afternoon pretty early. We had a fun night eating chili and TC baked us some cookies. (My track record with cookies isn't that great).

Happy Fall Yall!

Baby Grey

So baby Grey arrived a few short weeks ago and I haven't had a chance to put any pictures up of him. Leigh and Bill are getting settled and into the swing of things these days. We are so excited for them, and LOVE going to see Grey. The day he came, I saw Bill's twitter in the middle of the night before I got the "HE IS HERE" text. I had to stop myself from putting on clothes and driving to the hospital at 2am because I was so excited.  When Reagan woke up that morning I said, "Guess who came last night?" She shot out of bed and said, "SANTA!!" Unfortunately, I had to tell her no, that is was baby Grey…

Right before we had a bonding moment
and he pooped on me!

Weekend Update

Totally forgot my weekend update yesterday. Sooooo here is a little about last week and our weekend.

This past Wednesday, TC and I started a new small group thru church. It's on Wednesday nights and everybody brings their kids. We eat then do the new FreshAir bible study that our pastor Chris Hodges developed off his book. Last week was just the intro, but it's going to be AWESOME once we really get into the "meat" of it.

Thursday, Grandmother, Janice, Reagan and I headed up to Leeds to the outlet mall. As we finished up lunch our cousin/grandaughter Cammie happened to run into us! It was such a fun surprise and we all got to spend the afternoon shopping together. We also got to stop by Cammie's house and visit her new baby and our new cousin. Sweet Hillary is only a few weeks old and Reagan LOVED her. She was being stingy with the baby and made grandmother give her back so she could hold her!

Friday night we went out to dinner with Robert and Anna Claire at Jalapenos up near our house. It was delicious as usual.

Saturday was one of the most fun days I have had in awhile. About 11am, Anna Claire and I headed up to Birmingham to meet up with some girlfriends for Eileen's bachelorette party. It was at Ross Bridge Resort and Spa. We hung out by the pool all day, got massages at the spa, then went to dinner. It was absolutely perfect. One of the most fun, girly, relaxing days I have had in a long time. We all had such a great time together.

TC and Reagan spent the morning with Rodney at the farm and then the afternoon/night with Bill and Leigh and baby Grey. She finally decided to hold him and I can't believe I missed it! But, I was getting picture updates throughout the day. TC said they had an awesome day and some great bonding time. I am so thankful I have an awesome husband who is always there to care for our child.

Sunday morning we headed to church then out to lunch at Mr. G's with Robert and Anna Claire. On the way home from lunch we stopped by Sokol park and watched the model airplanes for a little bit. It was a perfect day. Unfortunately we wasted it by taking 2 hour naps. But what else is Sunday afternoon for anyways?

Weekend Update

Short and sweet post from the Lightsey's this weekend! Friday night we visited Leigh, Bill and baby Grey. All of our close friends came over for a little time together. Robert and Anna Claire were there along with Rob and Brittany. Also, Leigh's good friend Maddie. The baby was perfect and slept thru our visit. Reagan informed us on the car ride over she was "too little to hold babies". She did "pet" him though eventually. On the way there she said, "Wait, has he been bornded yet?" All this build up over 9 months has seriously confused her, and she is not as impressed with him at this point. I assured her he was going to get fun really soon.

Saturday TC and Reagan spent the day at the racetrack in Leeds so TC could ride. Meemee and Pa picked them up at 6AM Saturday morning. Since I was already up, I decided to clean out Reagan's room while she was gone. I then spent my morning cleaning the whole house and grocery shopping. After lunch I laid in the bathtub for 2 hours. That is my absolute favorite thing to do for hours on end, reading a book.

Saturday night TC grilled out for us and we went to bed early. Sunday morning we headed to church over at Highlands Tuscaloosa. It was an AWESOME sermon. After church we headed to Hokkaido with Robert and Anna Claire for the first time since they re-opened from the tornado. It was absolutely delicious!! After lunch, Robert and TC had to have their suits fitted for Patrick's wedding. We then headed home for our regularly scheduled Sunday afternoon naps.

It's now Sunday night and I just dropped Reagan off at Ceecee and Poppas to spend the night. They are going to take her to school in the morning. She was in absolute heaven.

So that's it. The fascinating life of the Lightsey's….

Happy Labor Day!

 We have had a great Labor Day at the Lightsey's.  I have talked about our neighbors before and how they are so much fun. Well, today was no different. They came over about 2 and we cooked out wings and then headed down to the lake for some fun in the water. The rain came in about 4 and the boys had a blast. Reagan and Caroline (who is 4) stayed inside playing in Reagan's room. But, they love being together too and have so much fun.

TC absolutely loves these boys and having them around. And they are pretty big fans of TC too.

 Here are my pictures I captured of the boys having so much fun!!

Weekend Update

So my last weekend update said that we ended Sunday night with Reagan having "Fever virus". Unfortunately, Tuesday morning she was still not better. We paid a visit to our normal pediatrician and she sent us to Northport Hospital for blood work and a chest x-ray. I will admit, I thought to myself how silly, a chest x-ray, she isn't even wheezing? But thank the Lord we found out she had pneumonia! PNEUMONIA?? Of all things? The only symptom she has had was fever. And a huge shout out to her for not making a peep during the blood work. She did not even cry and in the middle of the lady taking blood asked if she was going to get a prize. So of course, we went to Krispy Kreme afterwards. Anyways, after a few days of antibiotics we are almost as good as new.

Also, on Wednesday baby Grey finally made his arrival!! I will save those pictures for his own separate post.

So Friday night after work I had a hair appointment. I LOVE the beauty shop. It is one of my favorite places to spend time and money. Seriously. TC went and picked up Reagan and they spent some time bonding at "Old McDonald's" AKA McDonalds.

Saturday morning we had a birthday party to attend at 10 am. Reagan was OVER it. She got hot and sweaty then did not want to have anything to do with the party so we left early. We got home and she slept for 3 hours. I think she is tiring very easily from getting over being so sick. Saturday afternoon Rob and Brittany and Wes and his Brittany all came to our house to watch the game. We had a great night hanging out.

Sunday morning we went to church then came home for another 3 hour nap. I really could get use to she and I taking 3 hour naps everyday. After we finally got up, I straightened up the house and decided to cut the grass. I have found I really enjoy relaxing while I am cutting the grass. Who knew?

The best part about this weekend? We still have all day tomorrow to do things! TC and I are both off work and are excited to continue our relaxing weekend!

She asked TC if she could wear these shoes to church this morning. Thank goodness he talked her out of them.
