Girls Night with Carrie Underwood!!!



Jesus Take the Wheel....

So A few of us girls went to an amazing show put on by Carrie Underwood. Our seats, as you can see, were phenomenal thanks to Karen!! We could literally throw something
and hit Carrie!! WOW!!!
The show was very personal & real and to me that's what made it so good!!
Carrie sang a great variety of both old and new stuff and spoke to the audience
on a very personal level. Very cool!

Our group was quite diverse but so fun!! Here you see two veterans,
Karen & myself along with sweet Katie, oh how she has grown up!!
It was really cool for me to go to this type of event with her.
We had a blast!!!

Another very important piece to our group was Kassie & Grace. This was Graces's very first concert and it was priceless to witness her reactions & behavior. Grace had a tendency to stick with Katie & Amber as they are the cool teenagers who she admires!!! Grace did not stop talking the entire time leading up to Carrie taking stage,
it was so neat to see her excitement and be a part of this moment.

Katie & Amber, oh Amber!!!
Let's just say the money I paid to go this concert was worth every penny due to Amber...
Billy Carrington opened for Carrie and I think that Amber was more excited that she was going to get to see her dream man(Billy) than Carrie Underwood. I got to witness a 17 year old girls' crush!! Hands waving, screaming, hands over the mouth & almost in tears, chanting "Billy, Billy please wave to me." All of this was so funny and well worth every dollar and minute spent that night. One of Billy's Guitar players looked & waved to Amber and I thought she was going to pass out!! Too Funny yet so memorable!

Groupies....




Jeremy & I joined a small group at church about a year & half ago and these people have become another family to us. We all get along great and more importantly we truly love one each for who we are. This group of people have truly become our good friends who we can trust with anything. It's amazing how God put this group together and more so how we have grown over the past year & half.
Tonight, we all went to Grouplink to get more couple to add to our madness and then we went out to PF Changs for dinner. We all had a great time and will remember this night for years to come, Kimberly!!!!! We look forward to having many more outings like this one and walking this journey we call life together for years to come. I love you all dearly!!!

Braxton's a hunter!!!


It's official, Braxton loves to hunt and yes he's only 2 & half years old!!

Here is Braxton's first squirrel he killed in the woods behind grandma & grandpa's house. He is so proud if it and looks really cute holding it in his camo or hunting clothes as he calls them!

He loves to go hunting with his Grandpa, so far he has been three times and just can't get enough of it!! This is a great action shot in the woods, wow, what a serious hunter!!!

This is truly one of, if not, my favorite pictures of Brax.
He is so in the zone & just irrestable!!!

Making his way to the woods with his gun in hand.
He sure is focused on this outing!!

The feather made it even better!!!

Now the story goes.... When it's time to go to Grandma & Grandpa's he got to go hunting. He knows his hunting clothes are there waiting on him and he has to get his guns. Every time he comes home after a hunt he has had a prize for us, needless to say we now how squirrel tales in our house..... I would have never thought this would have begun at 2!!!

Great Friends!


We ladies decided to hit the ice.....
Well, not really but we were really close to the rink
6 rows back & right beside the players!!!!
Thanks Allie for the great seat!

We had a girls night out that was much needed. Trisha, Allie, Heather, & I all went to the thrashers game this past Sunday night. It had been several years since I had been to a game and needless to say I want to go back. However, I am not sure if it was due to the ladies that I was with, the really great seats we had( the kids around us were able to get High 5's from players while they entered & exited the locker room, it was great to see the children's eyes light up!) or listening to Trisha yell "come on Kane" in this voice like none other. She, much less we, had no idea about any of the players but Trisha pointed Kane out & rolled with it!
It was hilarious!

We all had a great time together. It's always a pleasure hanging out with these ladies. Allie & Heather are two of my oldest & dearest friends, we go way back to middle school!!! Trisha, I met through Allie which we just became instant friends from the start! I love you girls & I thank God that you all are in my life!! I look forward to many more years together!!!

These four can't get enough of one aother! It is truly a blessing to have family close by & it makes it even better that they love to be around each other so much!!!

Happy Valentines!!!


Valentines Day was a lot of fun we were low key but Braxton is so involved with everything it just makes it extra special! First thing Monday morning when B woke up he came into our room and told me "Mommy I have a card for you, remember?" It was so sweet and he was so excited to give it to me. He & Jer had put it in my nightstand drawer so he could easily get it in case Jer wasn't there to assist! Needless to say Brax did it all by himself! Mr. Independent is an understatement for this kid. All of this was followed with these sweet words, "Happy Balentines Mom!!!" Too sweet!! What a great way to start the day!


The days activities were planned, Brax & I had to get busy with Daddy's valentines things to make sure Jeremy's evening was filled love and happiness!!! So B and I made a steak dinner and Jeremy's favorite peanut butter cookies for desert! These were no ordinary cookies though. We made heart shape cookies which Braxton decorated with red & pink icing and sprinkles!!! Braxton loves to make cookies!!! Bax also picked out a baseball box of chocolates for dad and he wrote daddy's name on the card with the purple marker, it had to be the purple one!!!


We ended the night with Brax getting his gift, a Nerf gun!! He loves it & now we hear "let's shoot, where are my bullets, mom?" It is a real joy to see the eyes of Brax light up over such small things, like helping make dinner & drawing on his cards to each of us and more importantly telling both Daddy & I, "Happy Balentines day and I love you!!!" I will always remember these days and the special things that Brax does to make us smile and love him that much more!!!

It's Suhsi time.....


Lunch with Dad consisted of Sushi, edamame & fried Rice!!!
Yummm!!!

This was Braxton's first time eating sushi & it looks like it's confirmed,
he is our child after all!!! Just kidding but this only makse it better!
Jer & I love sushi, it's our favorite meal to eat out & we are thrilled that Brax likes it to. Here you see Brax taking a bite of California Roll & the other roll he really likes is Super Crunch (he really likes the crunchies) it's kind of sick how excited I am about this but I just can't help it!!! Hopefully Brax will continue to experiment with food as he grows!!

Falcons vs Packers


Falcons make it to the NFC Championship!!!!

Jeremy and I had a date night, we went to see the Falcons vs. Packers which was the NFC Championship game. We had the best seats in the house, 50 yard line 20 rows back, and right in the middle, doesn't get much better than that!!!

This was a tough game for us because we are both Falcon & Packer fans so it was really exciting to see these two play. We were essentially pulling for the Falcons because they are the hometown team but we weren't routing against the packs either... Funny how things turn out!!!

The game was a total loss for the dirty birds, we along with the majority of the crowd left before the 3rd quarter was over. We have no idea what happen to the Falcons except the Packs put a good old beat down on them. Even though the game was a blowout it was fun for Jer and I to get to go a playoff game and spend the night together. Thanks Jer for a great time.
Falcons, there is always next year!

Truly Blessed

It was a special night in our house last night. We had our first family movie night and it was a big hit! We ordered pizza, cut up apples, watched Despicable Me, & popped popcorn. It was literally one of the most fun nights I have had in a long time. We had dinner picnic style in the living room. Brax was a huge help in preparing for the festivities he had to get the pizza from the pizza man, place our napkins on the blankets where each of us were to sit and most importantly bring our food to us, he's such a little helper. The movie was cute but no match to the adorable ways Brax chose to sit and of course how he wanted to serve both daddy and I are dinner & popcorn. I am so grateful for my little man and his kindness, Brax is truly an amazing kid and I am glad to say he's ours!

Tonight was special and I will always remember it. I think that this will become a tradition in our house, it was so much fun! Thank you God for a great family and for the love that we have for one another. God, you have truly blessed each of us and we can not thank You enough!!!

Joshua "Hudson" Glaze!!!


Our newest addition, Hudson, is growing fast in my belly!!!!


We are so excited to have another child on the way. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant & feeling every bit of it. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little guy! The picture above is my 12 week sonogram & the bottom one is my 18 week, which is when we found out that we were having another boy!! Two boys running wild in just a short time, WHEW, it's going to be CRAZY, but oh so much fun!!!

Everything is going really well this far. Hudson is steadily growing and the doctors say that all looks good. Thank the great Lord above! My due date is May 22nd but I will most likely have him somewhere around the 13th due to me having a c-section.
We will be delivering at Emory Johns Creek where Brax was born.
Hudson is named after Jeremy's cousin Joshua, hence, Joshua Hudson. We will be calling him Hudson so things aren't confusing. I will be doing his room in stars & airplanes and I am so ready to begin this project, I hope he likes it and it turns out well.
Keep posted on more to come with our little Hudson!!!!
