It has been SO long since I have put a post up on our blog. Part of the reason is I changed the background and I couldn't view my blog for some reason. I changed the background on another computer so I hope I can view my blog on my computer now. Since I have last blogged, Abbie was born! I will hopefully post pictures from that and other festivities that we have been up to since then!
This past weekend we went to the opening game for the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. It was fun but it was hotter than I expected and I ended up getting blisters on the walk back to our car. Jackson was a little scared at first but soon warmed up when he saw the players come out of the tunnel. We got seats that were pretty high up so I wasn't expecting it to be very crowded but boy was I wrong! It was packed, I guess because it was the first game of the season. The Vols ended up winning 50-0! We are going to another game on the 25th (Adam wanted to get as many games in before Abbie arrived) against UAB. We got really good seats for that game so I won't have to do as much walking. We will be sitting on the 4th room near the end zone! Needless to say Adam will be in heaven!
Stadium before everyone decided to show up.
No matter what we do Jackson does not like to look at the camera. This was the best we could do for a family picture.
Jackson and I before the Vol Walk. This is where all of the players walk through fans to get into the stadium. The band plays and everyone cheers, it's really fun.
Daddy and Jackson waiting for the Vol Walk to start. Jackson didn't think this was very fun because everyone was cheering really loud as the coaches and players went by. He kept saying "All done?"A couple of weeks ago we went out on my Mom's boat for a day of relaxing in the sun! I was perfect weather, not too hot! Jackson has learned to love the water this year and has become quite independent while he is in the water. He didn't like staying close with Daddy in the "big" water but he had fun anyway. 
I love these last two pictures! This is my nephew Joseph and Jackson playing on the floor. I had to sneak and get the camera to take these pictures otherwise Jackson would have gotten up. I think he is going to be a great older brother!
Check out Joseph's mohawk! No matter what my sister does it won't stay down!Jackson was so excited to open presents. Carley (Adam's sister) wrapped all of them and she even decorated the house before we got there for Jackson. 
He loves Toy Story so he was excited to get this Bullseye flashlight.
I didn't get any pictures with him and the other toys he got. He got two Thomas the train characters with TONS of track!
I can't believe that Jackson is three! His birthday was July 28th and we spent it with Adam's family in Yorktown. The whole day I was really nostalgic for some reason, maybe because he is getting older and we are going to add another kid into the mix. I was never that way with his other two birthdays but for some reason I was with this one. Th whole day I was remembering everything that was happening whenever I would look at the clock. I would say, "And this is when the doctor told me we had to do a c-section," which I'm sure Jackson didn't really care. I am so grateful for this little boy in my life. We have definitely had our challenges with him like all parents do but he has grown into such a fun and happy little boy! He can be a stinker but I am glad that he is our stinker! We love you Jackson!
Jackson with his Aunt Carley and Uncle Kyle getting ready to blow out his candle!
Birthday dinner consisted of a two bowels of cereral while we ate meatballs and pasta salad.
I think this is the best picture I have EVER gotten of this kid! He always turns his head before the picture flashes! Look how big he is!
Grandma and Grandpa Reams bought this pool so that he could enjoy it while we visited. He would alternate between the trampoline and the pool.
My two cuties snuggled in bed on Jackson's birthday. Notice their arms......they are so much alike!While my brother was visiting we went to the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg. Jackson absolutely loves this place, he asks everyday if we can go see the Sharks.
Jackson on my Mom's boat doing what he does best, eating junk!
This is the only picture I could get of him looking at the camera. All of the other ones he would turn his head before the camera would take the picture, little stinker!
My brother Brian and his little boy Maddox-such a cutie!The last two weeks my brother Michael and his family came to visit from Oklahoma and we had a blast! He has three girls so it was hard for him to adjust being around Jackson just because he was a boy. We wish that they lived closer, maybe one day!
This is Savannah, Maddox (Brian's little boy, and Jackson) making a mess in Jackson's room!
Savannah sitting on Brian's back admiring the work of her cousins!
Jackson had some chocolate as you can see! I had to take a picture because his face was covered!
Adam found Jackson like this one morning (yes he is still asleep). Jackson fell asleep in our bed and then Adam took him to bed. Before he put him down he cleared his bed so that he would have a place to sleep. Apparently in the middle of the night he grabbed everything that Adam took off and put it in bed with him again.
For Mother's Day the young women made cakes for the husbands to buy to raise money for young women's camp. I was on the phone and looked for Jackson because he was a little too quiet and this is where I found him, caught-red handed!Baby Reams #2 is a..................

GIRL!!!!!!!
Our awesome neighbor took some pictures for us yesterday and they turned out really good! We haven't gotten nice family pictures taken since Jackson was about 14 months old so this was long overdue!
It was like pulling teeth to get Jackson to look at the camera but I think this is my favorite anyway.
Since we have moved to Tennessee, Adam has become a big fan of UT. We went to a football game last year, two baskeball games, and we went to the Orange and White game which is a team scrimmage this past Saturday. It was funny to hear people talk about how well they were going to play this year and to scout out who they thought was going to do well this football season. This was the first football game that Jackson had been to at UT. He loved it! Every time they would play Rocky Top, the school's theme song basically, he would get the biggest smile on his face. He sings this song on a regular basis at home!
It has been forever since I have posted anything, Sorry! A couple of months ago we went down to Clemson, South Carolina where Adam's brother is going to school. They were blessing their little one, Allie so we went down for 2 days. On Saturday we went to the Botanical Garden that they have in town and took some pictures. 
I love this picture of Jackson with his uncle Kyle. He looks so happy!
Grandma and Grandpa Reams with Jackson
Jackson had fun running all over the place.
Adam and Jackson thought it would be funny to take a picture of me before church one Sunday. I think Jackson may have taken this one, with Adam's help over course.
Here is the proof! I took like 4 or 5 regular tests and the second line was really faint. So I bought a digital one to make totally sure!Yes you are looking at the new gadget that I added right. We are expecting our second baby in October! I don't think that it has really sunk in yet but we are really excited! We went yesterday to our first ultrasound and everything looks good. I was a little diappointed because it was just a blob and you couldn't really see anything! I was about 3 weeks further along when I had my first one with Jackson so I guess I was expecting it to look like his first one. Oh well, atleast I know that there is something really there and that there is a heartbeat! I didn't want to post the picture of the ultrasound because it does just look like a blob, sorry about that. I do have pictures that I haven't uploaded to the computer yet so I need to get on that and post those. I was just too excited to let everyone know our exciting news!
This past Wednesday we went back to South Carolina so that Adam could meet Allie. We just went for the day since Adam was off of work. Any excuse to see this girl!! Jackson was so sweet while we were there. I was changing Allie's bum and she started to cry. Jackson came over and gave her a coupld of hugs and she calmed down for a little bit. Then she started to cry again so Jackson got her pacifier and brought it over and tried to put it in her mouth! It was so cute to see him do that! He is so gentle with Allie and is concerned when she is upset. I love my little boy!
Adam with Allie and Jackson trying to share some chips. This makes me want to have another baby!
While we were there I painted Allie's fingers and toes! It ws a light pink so it is kinda hard to see. She is probably the only 2 week baby I know that has her fingers and toes painted!
On January 6th my brother in law and sister in law had their little girl 3 weeks early! They named her Allie Michelle and she is so cute! She looks exactly like her daddy! She is the tiniest thing that I have ever seen, she weighed 7 lbs when she was born but dropped down to 6.5 lbs so she is a lot smaller than Jackson when he was born. It was so weird to hold her because there was nothing to her! Jackson was so sweet to her and asked for her every morning when he woke. He always wanted to kiss her every chance he could get!
Daddy time, she looks like a little frog.
Jackson was talking to his daddy on the phone and decided to pop a squat in Allie's carseat. This is the first time he has held the phone to his ear while talking to someone on the phone.
I had to post this one!
