He's such a cutie!!! *even if I do say so myself!* 

OOPS! With our digital camera, my arm isn't long enough to take all THREE of us in a picture anymore. haha. Poor Ty! 

This was right before we went to church. Ty and his mama!! =) And yeah...that's our bed frame in our kitchen! hahah...we're still under construction.  

Ty all happy in his swing and also sporting my yardsale bargain!!! Would you believe I got that adorable sleeper for 25 cents Morgan!!! You would've gone crazy at that sale!  

I thought this picture was so funny! I sat Ty in the chair and he crossed his feet and threw his arm up on the side like that. Pretty cute huh? *BTW: the book on the other arm is by Debra White Smith and is titled "Romancing Your Husband" It's wonderful! Very nice christian lady and some very romantic ideas to wow your husband with how special you think he is. It's a neat book. I recommend it! 

I thought I'd post a pic of Ty and his mama! I've got more to come! Wanna see? 

I thought an update on the family in the little white house was in order!

No teeth for Ty. He still chews EVERYTHING like it's going out of style. He found his feet on Saturday which was totally AWESOME to watch. He grabbed them then looked at me like, "What do I do now mom?" He hasn't chewed on his toes yet...but I'm sure he will. Ryan says it's like having a little puppy around the place. =) He's a pretty cute little puppy! *that's for Rebecca*
Dad bought this ENORMOUS Tigger for Ty at a yard sale so I thought I'd try to get a pic of him with it. Turned out nicely if I do say so myself.

Now, onto the Friday night getaway...We had an AWESOME time. We ate out together at Red Lobster. I tried the shrimp and didn't die from it. *for those who don't know, I had an allergic reaction to shrimp 8 years ago* Anyway...I wanted to try and see if I could eat them now, and I was just fine! WOOHOO! Those cheddar bay biscuits are out of this world too.
Well, after a wonderful dinner and gazing into each others eyes, and listening to the table next to us with 5 kids holler at each to sit down and eat, we left, strolled around Wal-Mart holding hands, and started for home.
We were supposed to watch a movie together when we got home but on the way the skies were looking terrible. We turned the radio on to hear weather alerts about tornado warnings and bad thunderstorms. We both instantly became concerned about Ty called Denise to see how things looked around their house. (They don't live far from us) She said they were just giving thunderstorms for our area and that it was fine, Ty was fine and we should just go on home and enjoy our evening.
We did go home and turned on the TV to watch our movie, but ended up watching the news instead. It was fun just being there along together. But then they said we were under tornado watch too so we drove over and picked Ty up. While we were there they said that a tornado was headed our way and that it would arrive in about 30 minutes, so we gobbled Ty up and rushed to Danny's for the night.

Have no fear though! We had a WONDERFUL date and had plenty of alone time to enjoy each others company and dinner. It was nice to have Ty back in our arms...we both missed him. =) Till later, Jessica

Soft and cuddly after bath time! :) Just thought I'd check in and see how everyone was doing!
I think our blogger baby is trying to cut some "teefers." He chews on anything he can get in his mouth. He cried and cried at bedtime tonight which is really odd for him so I rubbed some baby orajel on his gums and he practically passed out. Bless his heart.
I'm SO excited about this Friday! Ryan and I are going on a DATE! WOOHOO! Ty is staying with Aunt. Nise...aka Denise, and we're going to spirit away and enjoy just being Ryan and me for the evening. I'm sure we'll miss our little home-fry while we're gone though! I love romance...it's such a wonderful thing! I'm looking forward to our getaway, even if it is just a few short hours!
Till later, Jessica

I think I took our sweet little blogger baby by surprise in this photo...Ty in Uncle Dusty's baby outfit! 

Couldn't you just pinch those chubby cheeks?! 

I'm going to send a couple more too! My little man! 

Isn't this just the cutest little picture?!! I took these today. That little outfit was Dusty's (my brother) when he was a baby. I think Ty look so sweet in it! *Even if I do say so myself!* haha 

It's UNANIMOUS!!!!

Well friends! I'm going to leave things the way they are. :) Can't believe it was 100%:) Funny. Ty's sleeping in his swing so I thought I'd jump on here and give everybody a quick update of how things are going! I missed Ty's 4 month checkup because Ryan and I took a couple more days off to spend with each other for our 2 year anniversary. We were actually out on a boat fishing when Ty was supposed to be at his checkup. He was with us fishing *wink* sleeping most of the time is more like it! Thanks to Bro. Donald and dad for taking us! We caught I don't know how many, but we kept anywhere from 30 to 40 bluegill. It was fun! Ty's first fishing trip. I'm sure Terry will just be appalled. Sorry Terry. At least we ate them! :) It was just fishing and throwing them back! We didn't waste the little guys at all. AND, I'm sure Ty is much more thankful that we went fishing instead of his Dr's appointment any considering that he had THREE shots waiting for him. I do need to call and reschedule so I can put it in his book about how much he's grown and get his immunizations updated. Poor baby!

I FINALLY went to walmart and printed off pictures from my camera! I hadn't printed the first picture of Ty yet. Hospital pictures or nothing. AWFUL I know, but with a digital camera, I just download them to the computer and when I want to look at them I just come right over, plop myself down and browse through them. But seeing as I can't cart my computer around to show off pics of him, I decided that him already being 4 months old that it was high time that I get some developed! I ended up printing off 130 pictures! WOW! Shocker huh? They have a special on them if you order more than 50 prints so it wasn't that bad.

I believe that's all for now folks! By the way, on a Mary Kay note: I'm selling star certificates today and early tomorrow for those who want them. I'm trying to reach my goal for this quarter and earn and awesome prize for which I will put a picture on here if I do. So, I need your help. The certificates are good from now until Dec. 31 so you are free to use them anytime till then. I have two different certificate offers: The first star certificate is worth $125 and can be purchased for $100. The second star certificate is worth $75 and can be purchased for $60. Get them now and be ready to make those holiday purchases for your loved ones. We have some really exciting things coming out that I'm ordering this very Friday. I will be hosting an Open House Oct. 6 for anyone and everyone that can come and browse the showcase of the new fall line! You'll love it! And remember, when you purchase a certificate, you are helping me to achieve my goals!

Thanks so much! Till later, Jessica

I'm taking a poll fellow blog readers! Anyone and everyone who reads I would really like your vote...just leave it in a comment on this post...Ok. I know I put a gabillion (I know, exaggeration) pictures on here. Would you all prefer if I made another blog just specifically for pictures I upload through the Hello! program and use this one for mainly posting messages...or just keep doing it like I have been where I post pictures and messages all at the same time. I don't want to overwhelm everybody with my plethora of pictures...So, if you wouldn't mind...I'd really appreciate if you'd just leave me a comment with YES create another blog for pictures. Or NO, just leave it the way it is! Thanks a bunch, Jessica 

All sacked out for naptime! Zzzzzzz.... 

This is Ty and his friend Dustin...whose mom happens to be a fellow blogger! You can click on her link in my favorite blog section at Life As We Know It. Funny thing is, Ty is only 4 months old...Dustin is 8 1/2 months old. WOW. Pretty crazy huh?  

Happy Two Year Anniversary to us! I love you Ryan!!! 

I think I must be admiring my wedding band!  

Here's me getting ready in front of those wonderful mirrors that the church put up right before our wedding! They were so nice to have while getting ready.  

Me and dad getting ready to walk down the aisle! 

Haha! Dad choking Ryan for taking me away! 

Leaving for our honeymoon! 

During prayer! I really like this picture. I think it's sweet!  

I still have NO idea what we were laughing at and how we both managed to be looking over at Morgan at the same time during the wedding ceremony! Maybe it was after Morgan's dad (who was officiating) mentioned the old rythme Ryan and Jessica sitting in a tree. I think everyone there was laughing at that point! :) Who knows... 

September 4, 2006 marked Ryan's and my 2 year anniversary! We have had a WONDERFUL two years and are looking forward to the years to come! I thought since we just had our anniversary, I would add a few pictures of us on our wedding day! :) We were able to travel up to my mom and dad's this past weekend and make a family trip to an amusement park together with mom, dad, Dusty, Jennifer, the kids, and us! We had a ball!
