A little bit of irony I think

It was one of those moments...you know, the kind that you wish you could get on camera so you would not forget it...one like thisBeing outside with your family...watching your girls play with their daddy (loving every minute of it) and everyone laughing and enjoying the moment. But sadly, I will remember a moment similar to these in the pictures a little differently!

You see last Friday we were taking a family walk/run down our street. I was pushing Hadley in the stroller and Jason and Reese were running with each other...she was on his shoulders, on his back and just playing around! We were all laughing and I seriously said in my head, "Lord, don't let me forget this moment ...I love it...I wish I had my camera!"

Be careful what you wish for! It was not 30 seconds later...that I watched in horror as Jason and Reese crashed into the pavement...Reese face first! She started screaming...Hadley started crying...Jason was in shock and so was I! To leave out a lot...her face was covered in blood...but somehow once we got her cleaned up you could see that she still had all of her teeth...and just a very swollen/scratched up nose, face and lips.

The first 24 hours were the worst as far as appearance and pain...but honestly she was a trooper...Jason was more upset than she was! So...let's just say that I will for sure not forget that memory! I did not take pictures of her face on purpose...too cruel I think!

In an effort to take her mind off of everything...Jason took her to see Disney Princess Wishes on Ice the next day! I wish we had pictures...but according to both of them she loved every minute of it and sat with her mouth open the majority of the time!

So, naturally while Dad and sissy were at Disney Princess...Hadley and I went to the Samford University (my alma mater) homecoming game. Jason made a point to say that it was strange how he was watching Disney princesses and I was watching football...oh well!

Hadley and Aunt Audrey watching the game!
Some of the old crew...Chris, Audrey, Lindsay, Me and Hadley! We met up with Jason and a few others for dinner that night...it was our 10 year anniversary of graduating(Old we know)!
Cheers to memories...good and bad!
