Graduation

Brent graduated on Friday from the University of Tennessee in Chemical Engineering. Yeah! I have to admit, I was more excited than I thought I would be. It has been a long university life for the two of us but I'm grateful for all of the extra effort he put in to finish with honors. He has accepted a job here rather locally (Oak Ridge) so we will remain in East Tennessee. Yeah for Brent!




I made Brownies!

I made some delicious brownies this week.But this is mulch. ich

New Posts

Guys, I just put in 4 new blogs. Encourage such good behavior with lots of good comments that tell me how cute Jackson is. hehe Enjoy!

Can I just say

Can I just say I am so thankful for moments like these. Jackson is able to get to know his great-grandma O'bryant like none of her others. I think they are both such a happy, bright spot in one another's lives, mainly because she let's him do whatever he wants.

Then I get a cute wet thing back!

So sad

So sad... ...and yet...
...I can't...
put my camera down!
Poor Baby.
Can't you just hear those screams. Don't judge me too harshly.

Breaks

Jackson was just hanging out trying to soothe his gums with a block of ice. Oh what a boring time, desperate for something more, but of what he didn't know.
Brent, spending yet more time procrastinating finishing up with the load of this semester, just feeling like he needed something more.
Until the two found each other.
Family. Isn't it about time.

A day at the Park

So I'm pretty sure I don't have anybody in Knoxville that reads my blog, but if by chance you are out there and I don't know it...I totally recommend Walker Springs Park. It's so pretty-- not over-crowded--and there is lots of shade which is nice on those really hot days. It has this really nice playground with slides, a pianoish thing, and a periscope. Jackson ignores all of that though to find sticks in the grass.


Wow, TWO!
Then he goes for the pretzels that other kids have dropped.
Then gets mad when he doesn't get the pretzel AND gets stuck under the bench while his mom just laughs.
Then for the last (very long for me) 45 minutes he insists on swinging.
Yeah! we love the park!
Did I mention we love going to the park?
