Connor and Grandpa D

On the Hayride!

Learning the Family Business!

Saturday we auctioned off my grandparents house. It was very hard to see the place where we grow up be sold. But as everyone keeps telling me at least we have our memories. Anyways to the better part of the story. Connor loves his Pa. He wants to be doing what Pa is doing at all times. Well Saturday morning I dressed Connor like the guys always dress up for the auctions and we headed to work. During the middle of the auction Connor saw Pa on the microphone so he decided he needed to be up there too. So we got him a stool and an unplugged microphone and stood him beside Pa. It was so hilarious. Here is a picture Mom got with her phone. I just love it. Well I guess I do not have to wonder what Connor will be when he grows up. Enjoy!

Cash and Connor

Last week we got to visit with some of our very good friends. We were so happy to get to play with baby Cash. He is so precious. I am so glad that Cash and Connor are going to be good friends. We miss Caitlin, Colby, and Cash. We are so happy when they come to TN to visit. I am so excited Caitlin is having a girl this time. Now the boys can have there time and we can have girl time. Lol. Here are a few pics of the boys from the other night. We love you all and can't wait to see you at Christmas.

Love to all,

Birthday Fever!

Yesterday was Wes's birthday. Happy Late Birthday. I love you so much and hope your day was wonderful. This week has been so crazy with the funeral and everything. We decided to go out of town to eat in a couple of weeks for his birthday and our anniversary.

Also today is Laura Dunn and Mel Stinson's birthday. I love you ladies and hope your day is awesome.

Tyler's birthday is tomorrow he will be the big 2-1! Happy early birthday to you.

Happy Birthday to Wes's dad and mom whose birthday's are Saturday and next week.

I hope all of you have wonderful birthdays! This month is wearing me out with b-days.

Love to all,

We Will Miss You Granny

Early Sunday morning we received a call that Wes's great grandmother had passed away. She has been in the nursing home for about seven years and lived on her own til she went there. She was a 102 when she died. This is just so amazing to me to see a person live such a long life and be so healthy. It was just the past year or so that she got really bad. She had two strokes over the past couple of months. She was a very sweet lady and will be sadly missed. Please keep the Tollison family in your prayers. I wanted to share this poem that they had in the pamphlet at the funeral home. It just really makes you think and appreciate the people around you and cherish the time you have with them.

God saw she was getting tired,

and a cure was not to be;

So he put His arms around her,

and whispered, "Come with me."

With tearful eyes we watched her suffer,

and saw her fade away;

Although we loved her dearly,

we could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

hard working hands to rest,

God broke our heats to prove to us,

He only takes the Best!

I love you all!

An Overdue Update!

Well I am finally back. I feel like I have been gone for ages. Lol. My life has been so busy lately. I do not know whether I am coming or going. A lot of things have happened over the past month and I wish I would have kept up with them better. I am not going to give every detail but in this post I am going to try and recap the past month or so just to let you know what we have been up to. The last week of August I started my third year of college. You would think I would be excited about this because that would mean I only have one more year left. Well, as usual I have changed my mind about what I would like to be when I grow up. I am now a nursing major. I should start the nursing program next fall and graduate a year later than I had planned. Oh well at least I will be doing something I love. We also had a big birthday dinner at Grannyma's. It was so much fun catching up with everyone. We also got some exciting news that day. I am going to be an aunt again. Jennifer is due with baby number two in May. I love babies. I love how every year our family grows. Well the first week of September we celebrated a lot of birthdays. So Happy Late Birthday to Donald, Dad, Bree, Abram, Mallory, and Arden. Then came the fair. Connor loved the fair this year. He wanted to ride the carousel constantly. He cried when we took him off. I love the fair because you get to see people you never usually get to see. The week after the fair we moved into our new house. We love it there. It is so great getting to be back on our own. I miss my mom but I know it's a step in life you must take and be on your own. Connor loves the new house I was so afraid he would be scared at night but he isn't and I am so thankful. Last Friday night we went to the Pioneer football Homecoming game. It was a lot of fun. It was the first game we have been to this year. This past Tuesday Wes and I celebrated our two year anniversary. Wes, I just want you to know that even though these past two years have been a little rough I love you and am so glad I have you and Connor. You both mean the world to me and I do not know what I would do without you. Thanks for two great years. So Wednesday was one of my best friends birthdays. So Happy Birthday to Ashley. I love you girl and am so glad to have you as a friend. Last night Kirsten and I went out to eat and have a girls night. We have not been able to hang out in a long time and it was great getting to catch up. Tonight I do not know what we will do. My dad is in town and so I am sure we will do something with him. I want to thank my dad so much for all the work he has done to help me at my new house. You will never know how much I appreciate you. Caitlin, Colby, and Cash will be in tonight and I can't wait to see them. I think I have rambled enough for now. So I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Love to all,
Kirby
