Turner's First UT Basketball Game

We took Turner to his very 1st UT basketball game last night and he had a blast! Of course his favorite part of the entire game was meeting and getting to take a picture with "Smokey Dog"! He got a foam finger and would yell at Smokey "I'm your number one fan, Smokey!" and was just too cute! Made this alumni momma proud! He sang Rocky Top at the top of his lungs too and got many smiles from fans around us! He had so much fun and we are truly 'thankful' that we are able to introduce him to new and fun situations that hopefully he will remember forever! He did say that when he grows bigger like daddy he was going to play basketball on that court! hey, anything's possible right?

It's not the holidays without a trip to the ER!

so, I hear that you haven't lived unless you take a trip to the ER during the holidays, so we decided to try that out!
Molly fell in the bathtub today and hit the back of her head on the soap shelf-no big deal right? well, when i wrapped her up in the towel she just immediately started puking. ok, panic time! So we called the pediatrician and he said to just bring her in there since she didn't loose consciousness. So we get there and she starts to run a fever-totally random. So he sent us to Children's Hospital for some head scans. Everything was perfectly fine and said she just had a mild concussion. Never would I have guessed that my little girl would've had a concussion before her big brother! He was so concerned about her too! Such a good big brother he is (most of the time)! So she ate a good dinner and went to bed with no problem. Her brother on the other hand, is still trying to talk his way out of bed!
Here's some cute pigtails that didn't last very long at all! She wasn't a fan and Turner was a precious pilgrim at preschool this week!

Great Deakins' Santa Pictures!

Molly's first time to meet Santa! at least Santa's smiling for the photo?!!

This was a few years ago. Still one of my favorites!! Was published in the newspaper for worst Santa pic's also!



So Molly was not at all pleased with Santa, which kinda surprised me because of how friendly she is with most strangers. She will let anyone hold her! Apparently as long as you aren't dressed in a red fuzzy suit, have a long beard, and a goofy hat on!
So, Johnny took Molly away so Turner could "talk" with Santa and Santa says "I'm sorry I made your sister cry". Turner replies "It's ok Santa, it's not your fault". We died laughing.
