Forensics, Carrie, Bama, and Haircuts

This post is a hodge podge of randomness so prepare yourself.

I'll start off with my Forensics reunion in Tuscaloosa a few weekends ago. For those of you who don't know, I was on the forensics team in college. And no, I know what your thinking. We never studied dead people or tried to figure out a difficult murder case... Forensics is actually a word for our SPEECH team. I had the priviledge of being on the speech team for three years in college and had a blast doing so. Our coach is retiring after 39 years at U of A so some of us came back for a little surprise party. It was so special catching up with old friends...

These are the people that I spent hours on the van with driving to tournaments and spent many of my college weekends together.

There was an assortment of alums there that I didn't know from years past and years after me. But it was so good catching up with some of my old team mates!

I also enjoyed spending time with my best forensics buddy, Allie, who was also a bridesmaid in my wedding. I haven't seen her since my wedding day six years ago!!

After my reunion, I headed to Nashville for a girl's trip a few days later to visit our friend, Jessica. These girls have been in my life since high school and we've remained four peas in a pod to this day.

One of the highlights on our overnight trip was going to see Carrie Underwood! The concert was a blast and I thouroghly enjoyed belting out "before he cheats" and many other familiar tunes at the top of my lungs.

That little rock star even suprised us by singing on the back of a pickup truck flying over the audience.

I took my two sisters, Katie and Camille, to Alabama this past weekend. Katie just came back into the country after being gone for two years and she had never met Isaac until about a week ago. It's GREAT to have her home! It was homecoming week and we were playing Ole Miss (Katie's alma malter) so there were lots of friends to see and things to do. We could not have asked for a prettier day!

I enjoyed showing Camille (who is a senior in high school) around the campus.

I think I came close to convincing her she has to be an Alpha Chi...

Wouldn't she just make a darn cute one?

I guess you could say the girls were pretty impressed with the stadium.

Well, guess who got his first haircut this week?

Yep, you guessed it. Little man himself.

And wouldn't you know it, I completely forgot to take my camera with me!

Needless to say, it was a little tramatic for baby (and mommy). On the ride home Isaac fell asleep in the back. Steven was driving and I glanced back at my sleeping boy, only to find that he didn't look a like a baby anymore. I began to cry and I'm not a crying kind of gal.
Now my little baby is trapped inside a toddler boy's body, I thought...sniff, sniff.

Thankfully, Isaac likes his new doo. He gave the new haircut two thumbs up...or should i say two big toes up.

But Steven and I haven't forgotten what our little boy looked like before.

RIP sweet mullet... don't fret, I'm sure we'll be seeing your long tresses again real soon.
