Labor Day Love, Football, Babies & Food

We squeezed so many events into this past labor day weekend I don't even know where to start. Sandra & Jerry, (affectionately known as "Matt's rents" or Nana & Papa) came from Alabama for a visit. We enjoyed having them and they even treated us to a little getaway so we could sneak out and have a date night for our 6th Anniversary, which was on Saturday. That is right folks...6 years!!! It has been fun to say the least. I truly and honestly can say from my very core that I could not have prayed for a better man. I know I am blessed that I can even say that. So here is a little flashback to September 4th, 2004...





ROOOOOOLLLLLLL TIIIIIIIDE! (Or as Cannan will soon be saying Woll Tide!)
Saturday was Alabama's first game of the season so of course everyone was decked out in their Alabama garb. Even Cannan was wearing the colors...I think he was excited to watch the game too...

first, Cannan wanted to show us how to kick a football...

Did you see my kick papa?


It was perfect timing too because if you know me you know how much I love watching football ;-) So, while they all watched the game I snuck off to my friend Amy's baby shower to oooh and aaaah over her adorable belly and baby girl things. She was going back and forth about cloth diapering and decided to give it a try so a few of the girls from church went in and got her her first stash of Bumgenius'....

Here is Amy with all her new colorful CD's...isn't she beautiful!?!


The Girls...


On Sunday we headed out to GreekFest for some Gyros, Greek Salads, Baklava and more, "wouldn't you like to have some?" delicious Greek food...
I'll spare you the pictures of us chowing down on our Grecian Vittles and only show you the sweet side...
Mmmmmm Baklava!
