Iron Bowl 2008

One of the Deavours family members is all smiles!!!!!!!!! As far as the other one goes, let's just say it wont be the topic of conversation for them! :)

THE STATE OF ALABAMA IS CRIMSON AGAIN!!!!!!! ROLLLLL TIIIIDDEEE!!!!

SICK SICK SICK

That is the best way to sum up how I have been. I dont have morning sickness, I have 24 hour sickness! I am hoping in 2 more weeks that I will be over this, but who knows?!?? The biggest problem has been, not finding anything I like to drink, Sprite= gross, Ginger Ale= it's ok, Capri Suns= starting to drink too many of them! lol So if anyone has any suggestions, I would gladly accept them.Nothing else to really update on. Getting ready for Thanksgiving Holidays, plus THE IRON BOWL!!!!! I am more excited about that I think. Plus Mom, Jim and Eli are coming home, so that is always good! I go back to the dr on Dec 12, so I'll let you know how things are going then! Please continue to keeps us in your prayers!

Well The Secret Can FINALLY Be Told!!!!

Well everyone, it's official! Dan and I are expecting! I am about 9 1/2 weeks along. We had our first ultrasound today and we were nervous to hear the baby's heartbeat, but excited at the same time. HOWEVER, boy were we in shock when the nurse asked" do TWINS run in your family???" I said "WHY???" well you guessed it.....WE ARE HAVING TWINS!!!!!! I think we are both still in shock! lol The nurses were more worried about Dan, afraid he was going to pass out! God love him, all he keeps saying is " that means two of everything" So come June, the Deavours family will grow a little bit more!

We ask that you all please keep us in your daily prayers. This is a very exciting time, but can also be scary! We know that all of the prayer warriors out there will get the job done, that we have TWO healthy babies! And you might want to pray for the grandparents as well, because I still don't think it has set in with them yet either! lol

Of course you can really never tell anything in these, but you see "A" and "B"

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day. Psalm 139: 13-16 (The MESSAGE)

Birthday girl and Beau

No birthday is complete without a picture made with Beau

Happy Birthday

Just wanted to wish my wonderful wife a very happy birthday. Maybe you will get everything you want. I just wanted you to know how much I love you. I'm very lucky to have you in my life. You do so much for meand I just wanted to say thank you. Look forward to spending many more birthdays with you. I love you. Happy birthday.

Meet one of our new friends

Hunting season is just around the corner, so Dan has been busy getting all the green fields ready. However, that doesn't stop him from being nice to the lil "friends" and feeding them some. This is what we see in our back yard pretty much on a daily basis, sometimes there are 5 or 6 out there at a time, but on this particular afternoon, just this little friend.

Miss Avery

This past weekend, I went to stay with one of my best friends, Lisa, originally I had planned to go over to her house on Saturday to watch the Bama game, but on Thursday I was told that some of the girls were getting together to go eat Friday for Lisa's birthday so I packed up my stuff and went for a "slumber party" lol Hey, every girl needs a girl's night out! Anyway, we ate supper at Harvey's in Columbus, which was WONDERFUL!

Saturday finally rolls around so you know what that means.....GAME DAY!!!! So we are up at around 8:30 getting ready for the 11:30 game. Avery gets dressed in her very cute Alabama dress, she is soo cute, anything that resembles Alabama she shouts "Roll Tide". You can never start them too early!!!!

Avery Getting Ready for the Game

So Ms Carolyn had to go to Wal-Mart before the game to make us some football watching snacks. As we were putting up groceries, we didnt hide this item too well, so at 9:30 AM Avery got what Avery wanted

Overall, it was a great get-away even if it was just over night. I enjoyed my girl's night, and getting to spend quality time with Lisa, Avery and Ms Carolyn.

Thanks Girls!!! :) I love you!

LEAVE US ALONE!!!!

So I think all night Friday, that I will get to sleep in a little later on Saturday morning. Granted I would have to be up by 9 AM to get ready to head to Ttown for tailgating and the game, but that is another story. ANYWAY, Dan gets up about 6:40 AM to get dressed to go meet Todd so they can work on green fields. Ok, that is not too bad, I can go back to sleep when he leaves. HOWEVER, at 6:45AM our house phone rings and I am thinking ok???? I said Dan "who is it" and of all days..... A TELEMARKETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 6:45 AM ON A SATURDAY MORNING!!!! Oh I was sooooo mad, I told Dan to hand me the phone. I answer the phone, to hear the guy say "is this Dan Deavouuurs" ( he sooo didnt get the last name right so I had to throw those few extra vowels in there to emphasize what he said) I quickly told him " IT IS 6:45 IN THE MORNING, MY BEST ADVICE FOR YOU IS TO TAKE THIS NUMBER OFF YOUR CALL LIST!!!!" Thinking he would say Im sorry, he gets an attitude with me and ask was this the "Deavouuurs" residence...AGAIN! I said THANK YOU AND HUNG UP!!! Dan just looked at me and laughed! I understand that telemarketers have jobs and families, but there needs to be a starting time when they call ESPECIALLY on a Saturday morning!!!!

I remember growing up, my grandmother made the mistake of calling our house a few times before 8AM and we had to have a little chat with her about it and she stopped, but not...you better not call her before 10AM because she will still probably be in the bed!!!

ok...gotta get ready to go watch the CRIMSON TIDE!!!! ROLLLL TIIIIDDDE!!!!

It's FINALLY here!!!!

FINALLY FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE!!!!! So to celebrate I put my cake class to work....for the first time I thought I did pretty good

Only because I love Dan, I made this cake

Beau knows football

Beau knows football!!!!

oh but yes.....in 4 days the most exciting time of the year begins, I say 4 because that is when SEC football starts, South Carolina vs North Carolina State. However, the real boys start Saturday, The University of Alabama and Auburn University. We live for this time of year. Every time I hear the Alabama fight song I get goose bumps. Of course Dan does a little dance when his phone rings the Auburn fight song.

Me (Krisha) being the TRUE Alabama fan that I am, love the crowd on the quad before a football game, the smell of the grills, the spread of tons of food, the "Roll Tide" as you pass a fellow fan on the sidewalk, hearing Denny Chimes counting down the hour to kick off, then hearing the elephant triumph over the crowd, "THIS IS ALABAMA FOOTBALL", and of course no Alabama game is complete without a little "Sweet Home Alabama...ROLL TIDE ROLL" I am getting excited just thinking about it. Seeing Saban on the jumbo tron about to lead the team on to the field, there is a feeling you get that all Bama fans know what I am talking about.

Dan says being the true Auburn fan he is (however he just finally learned all the words to the fight song a month ago...sorry had to throw that in..lol) is just ready to watch the Tigers hit the field. It is hard to explain his love for them, but Trust me...I sometimes wonder if there is more love for the Auburn Tigers than me!!! lol Just kidding! He supports his orange and blue EVERY chance he gets, and doesn't care what anyone else says. Of course I have to get a "6" thrown in my face every now and then, but when he reaches "9" then we can talk!

I have always heard, if you survive your first year of marriage then it will last, I think our goal is going to be surviving our first year married in a house divided!!!

ROLL TIDE and WAR EAGLE!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Dan and I want to wish Ms Wanda a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! We enjoyed a yummy steak lunch and wonderful cake that Holley made. Hudson enjoyed all of the singing birthday cards that she got, at one time they were all playing at the same time. We plan on celebrating many many more with you! We love you very much and so blessed to have you in our lives! Happy Birthday MOM/Mom in law! :)

We have started meeting once a month on Friday nights to scrapbook. If any of you are interested in coming please do, and any of your friends as well.

Happy Birthday!!!

Want to wish one of the greatest men, my dad, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Thank you for all that you do for Dan and me! I love you very much!

Beach Trip

I can always tell when Summer is starting to come to an end. The last beach trip is taken and after that the main thing that is on Dan and my mind is FOOTBALL! so with that being said, we loaded up Wednesday morning and headed down to Grayton Beach ( for those of you saying "grayton?"...it is between Panama City and Destin) for a few days. When I was growing up going down there, we were lucky to see maybe 20 people on the beach, but now....you are lucky if you probably see less than a 100!!! I guess that is why I always loved it sooo much, one you can drive ON THE BEACH!!! which is nice when you carry 10 different things with you. Plus it was always soo peaceful, and it still is, but its very busy compared to what it used to be. We did go out one night to eat, went to the best outlet mall to shop and got 2 good home cooked meals as well! Can't wait to go back next year ( and hopefully more than once!)

Our First Day on the beach

Dan relaxing in the ocean

After a day of shopping, we went to the beach to watch the sunset

Dad and me

Last day on the beach :(

WOW!!! We actually got dressed up!!!! lol

Enjoying the beautiful day

I was off work today, so I decided to clean house so I could enjoy my Saturday. While I was in the living room, I noticed Beau sitting on the foot stool that happened to be in front of the window. He just looked sooo peaceful watching the world go by! Of course when I got my camera he turned around, but it still made a cute picture of my "child"

Happy Birthday some more

In honor of Maw Maw's birthday, we went to Tuscaloosa and went to eat at O'Charley's! (It is just as good or better than what it was before the tore it down and rebuilt.) It was great spending time with her on her birthday and with Uncle Wayne, Aunt Nita and Paige. If only Mom and Jim would of been there it would of been even better! Happy Birthday Maw Maw!

Happy Birthday Maw Maw

Happy Birthday to one of the special ladies in my life, my grandmother. She is a wonderful christian woman, who I love very much. She is the rock of our family and thank God everyday for blessing me with her! I love you!!!

Seems sooo long ago!

It seems like it was sooooo long ago that Dan proposed, but it was a year ago today that I was working, came back from lunch and these were waiting on me...

then I got ready "thinking" we were going to Cheesecake Factory, when really we were going to...

then I thought we would be going home after dinner, but to my surprise I was getting to stay the night at ( and yes, HE even packed my sleep clothes, toothbrush and clothes to come home in)

then this is what I got

and YES, HE picked it out all by himself!!!!

I am soooooo very lucky to have Dan in my life and now as my husband! I love you honey! :)

Happy 30th Birthday Dee!!!

Happy Birthday Dee!!!! We celebrated Dee's birthday saturday night with a meal at Steamer's and then a bowling trip! It was great fun, and for those that have kids, they said it was a great "break" lol. We hope you have many many more!! We love you!

Bye Bye Mailbox

Last Sunday was a sad day at the Deavours' household. As most of you know, we are a "House Divided" and since Dan has lived in our house, he has had an Auburn mailbox. Well sorry folks, but being the Die Hard Alabama fan that I am, I just couldn't handle my mail going into something that looked that way. Sooooo Dan being the sweet and wonderful husband that he is, said he would depart with the "old" mailbox and put up a neutral one. So when you pass by and notice something new at our driveway that is what it is. Dont worry, come football season ( which from today's date June 29, we have 62 days) there will be the "House Divided" Flag up so BOTH schools have the respect they deserve!!!!

Dan's sad moment

Our new mailbox

Woo Hoo...Another Cake

My good friend Dee is turning 30 on Sunday. We work together and thursday we are celebrating her birthday at work (she will be off next week, LUCKY!!) Anyway, I said I would make her cake for her. I gave her 2 options, just because I didnt want to put tooo much pressure on myself. So I hope she likes it...I put 2 of her favorite colors on it, so it was just a good reason to practice some more and get my kitchen dirty again!!!

My second cake

This is the second cake I have done for cake decorating class. It is not the best, but you gotta start somewhere! lol

Being really slow

For some odd reason it has taken FOREVER to upload the last bit of pictures on the last 2 post??!?! Oh well they are up, late, but up! (By the way, Jim's birthday was actually Wednesday June 18) So That's part of it I guess.

Happy Birthday Jim!!

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest men we know, JIMMY!!!! We hope you had a wonderful birthday and cant wait to see you at the Fair!!!!! We Love you!!

Happy Birthday Beau

Sunday June 15th was a busy day at the Deavours' Household. First Beau and I fixed breakfast for Dan for Father's Day from Beau. We fixed Dan's favorite, breakfast casserole. Beau gave Dan a card with their picture on the front and when you opened it up it played " Good Ol' Boys" by Waylon Jennings, which is Dan's favorite song!!

Then that afternoon, I began fixing a cake because......

it was BEAU'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

(I am taking Donna Norwood's cake decorating class at bevill, it is fun, but lots of work) So I made Beau a cute little cake. Then once it was time for supper, Beau was treated with the traditional birthday STEAK!!! I do cut the steak up for him so he doesnt try to swallow it whole. Obviously Dan did a WONDERFUL job on the steak, because it didnt take Beau long to eat it up (matter of fact Dan do a very good job cooking them!)

( Not this best picture, but this blog wouldnt upload another one???? plus not even one of his steak!! I guess the steak was sooo big the blog couldn't handle uploading it!)

Then of course it was time for the birthday boy to open his presents! He loves opening gifts, and does a good job at it!

You would of thought it was Christmas!!! He also got a personalized water and food bowl stand, but it hadnt come on his birthday.

Also, thanks to Poppa Jim, Nana Darlene and Eli for the box of toys and treats. It was also Eli's birthday as well, you can check them out on their Blog for his birthday celebration.

Also, thanks to Nana Wanda, who gave Beau $20 for his birthday, so he bought some toys and a little bed to lay on!
