a day in the dht.

saturday morning we left bright and early for the dream hometown.

we arrived at the sale barn around 9. and let me say....it was crowded. maybe because it was 75 degrees...or maybe because as clint said...there are so many things to choose from...actually the exact quote was, "if you can't get it here, han...there ain't no use in havin' it." (in the most country-fied voice you have ever heard.)

i immediately started taking pictures. i got my camera out and took one of pratt in his stroller and clint told me to put the camera up. i refused. and about the time i was turning it off, i spotted two men carrying chickens that they had bought at the sale barn...upside down and by their feet. it was the cruelest thing i have ever seen. i immediately turned my camera on to get it on film. mostly so i could email it to aspca and they could arrest those men. but clint told me to put my camera away. he made some comment about how i looked like the japanese people that constantly snap pictures while at disney world.

so after we walked around there and saw everything you could possibly ever want/need...we headed to grandma and grandpas. there was a surprise visitor! aunt deedee!! yay! so pratt got to play with her. and grandma gave us a HUGE bucket of freshly picked blackberries.

y'all. these things were gigantic. bigger than my thumbs. and they were warm from the sun. heaven.on.earth.

when we left there we headed to see mamaw and papaw. and then we headed home. pratt was pooped from not having a "real" nap today. he slept on the way home and woke right as we turned onto our street.

clint is selling his boat...and so while clint worked on cleaning that up, pratt and i did some outdoor chores. it was so pretty. the weather was beautiful. pratt ate a few leaves...and then played with our mail. and then he and clint went for a jog and i made a cobbler with grandma's blackberries. yummy.

needless to say, the baby was a tad fussy. i couldn't get him situated...until i pulled out his toothbrush. he is totally his fathers child. it did the trick.

after pratt went to sleep, clint and i watched the first few episodes of 24. it was great...and extremely addictive!

my perfect saturday. yes. perfect.

Dear Pratt,
You are such a handsome, happy boy. I hope you are memorizing Parker's face in that picture because you two are going to be getting into a lot of trouble together. Parker heard your dad has a mule, so he's already excited about coming out to play.
Love,
Allyson

Thats it. He must marry Brylee!!! The picture with the toothbrush is adorable. Brandon already talks to Brylee about being a dentist...maybe we will have two dentists :)

Tanna, Abby's gonna have to give Brylee some competition. :) Poor Pratt- he's not going to know what to do with all these girls.

you know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. - dr. seuss

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
