Hello World...!

Our Tinley Kay is HERE!!!!!!

She was born on December 20th at 9:48 a.m.

She is absoulty beautiful and precious!!!!

This is her first Christmas outfit! Her Daddy thought the bow might be too big...but for me the bigger the better! :)

We are SO in love and she melts our heart!!!

Showered with gifts...

Here are some pictures of the showers we were so blessed to have...

Chris Family shower was wonderful...we got some great things!

My school gave me a shower...my team is wonderful...they planned and put everything together.

My family gave us a shower too....We played a game with CANDY bars and diapers....it was pretty funny to see the boys playing it....

Trey, my brother, thought this game was pretty nasty....

Chris of course had to be really GROSS....I believe this diaper was the Butterfinger...At our friend shower...we had a blast hanging out with everyone...We got some WAY cute outfits.....that I am SO excited to put Tinley in.... My very close friend Brandi made me a bow holder....how cute is this...

READY!

We are packed and ready to go to the hosptial....well actually we have been ready since Thanksgiving! Here is our things for the hosptial to grab and go!!!!!!!

Chris has even put the car bases in each of our cars....

Now we just wait....

What a journey....

This picture is when we just found out I was pregnant...and I started to read how big the baby is each week...this was at 6 weeks...the size of a sesame seed...

Just started school...this picture is the night our school had Open house...so about 18 weeks...

This is the picture of our outfits when we told our families that we were having a girl...

About 25 weeks....

In thinking about our journey during this pregnancy this song comes to mind:

We have had a wonderful journey...about to turn this page of this chapter. And start another journey...we are so blessed and in awe of what the Lord has done in our lives.

Date Night...

There was one place that I had always wanted to go. For some reason as a kid I never went to Medieval Times, and now as an adult...I REALLY wanted to go. And Chris being amazing...he surprised me with a date night there! I was so excited!

Go GREEN TEAM...!

So I heard that there were no utensils at dinner....but there seriously WASN'T...so much fun!

Two words....HE WISHES....! I wore the hats....yelled....waved my flags...the inner child came out when I was there for sure! SO MUCH FUN and great memories together!!!!!

Last of the belly pictures...

Oh my gracious....I cannot believe that this is the last week I will be pregnant! It seems like it has gone by SO fast! I remember just finding out I was pregnant and was so excited. I don't think I have said what her name is going to be yet? Chris and I decided that our daughters name will be Tinley Kay! We knew we wanted a name that had a 'T' or 'C' in it...to match our initials. When we were looking in a baby book...and saw the name Tinsley. Which Tinsley did make the LONG list of names, but after looking at again and again. We thought about taking the 's' out...to make it Tinley...and fell in love. The name Kay is after my Momma. I remember playing house as a little girl and having a daughter with name Mackenzie KAY(by the way my husband was Jonathan Talyor Thomas, anyone remember him?) So ever since I was a little girl, I knew if I had a daughter I would name her after my Momma! We have now also added the name Ann, in remembrance of my Aunt who unexpectedly pasted away in September of this year. We will call her Tinley Kay...but Ann will be in her full name. We just aren't sure on how we are going to put it in her name. All separate...hyphened...put Kay and Ann together...not really sure yet. So her name might be long...but all the names mean something special to us.

Tinley Kay Ann

Just a few more days until we will meet our sweet baby girl Tinley Kay....

Baby Ridge Colson

Oh my gracious....Ridge is the sweetest little snuggle bug in the world. I couldn't help it...here are some pictures of sweet little Ridge Colson....

The boys are going to be such good big brothers...Ryder was so cute...the other night he started singing to Ridge, "Ohhh...baby Ridge...yooooou are the number one baby....Ohhhh baby Ridge." It was so precious and made my heart smile!!

He is finally here!

Ridge is here!!!!

I am an Aunt Sissy for the third time!!!!

He was born Monday night...7 pounds 13 ounces...21 inches long! Such a sweet baby boy!

I am so glad he is here and healthy!

Now we just need his partner in crime to get here!

WOW...a full circle...!

Today Chris and I...4 years ago...said I DO! Here is how it all started in a nut shell... :)

I saw Chris at a football game...and started this HUGE crush on him! I am not shy...but around him...I got so nervous! All I knew was he was so cute and had the prettiest blue eyes! So my roommate and I called him "Blue Eyes." Friends would call me when they would see "Blue Eyes" on campus...and they would tell me where he is...so I could just "happen" to walk by there! LOL! This went on for a good 3 months...then I found out he had a girlfriend...so the crush went bust! :( I remember going home for Christmas break and having to talk myself out of wishing SO bad he was single too! That was a sad trip home. But being the fun Tiffany, I have always been...I came out of it pretty quick...always thinking "it just wasn't meant to be"...so over the break....I went on dates....hung out with friends...blah....blah! Went back to school and 2 or 3 months went by, I was at a party...and Mr. "Blue Eyes" was there too! Which by this time he was crossed off the list...he had a girlfriend! I remember this part like it was yesterday....I remember sitting on a couch at his fraternity house...and him stopping in his tracks when he saw me! I remember thinking....Oh, please keep walking, Buddy, you are JUST now figuring out that I am on this planet...too late...I had my hopes up for you for too long! Well, come to find out...him and his girlfriend had split over the break...and he was SINGLE!!!! Two weeks later he was telling me, "I don't know why I feel this way, but I feel like you and I are in this for long haul together." Which back then if a guy said that to me...I was like...put the brakes on buddy! But for some reason I gave him a chance...and here we are....married for 4 years with a daughter on the way! I would have never thought me and Mr. Blue Eyes....

This picture is my most favorite of any picture we have taken together. It was when we had our engagements done...and also the first time I farted in front of Chris. We were all ready and smiling against the tree...and Chris goes, "Tiff did you just fart?" He got so tickled because he had never heard that from me...and I was so embarrassed all I did was crack up with him! It ended up being one of the best pictures we have even taken....I love it! Babe - I love you more than you will ever know. With every year we grow together and the Lord gives me a new joy and love to give you! I love you...I pray we keep grow together even if stings. We have been through some tragedies, triumphs, and trials. We have had people come and go in our life. But with everything in the past years together it has made us stronger as indiviual followers of the Lord and then strong as husband and wife.

We are STILL STANDING, Baby....and I wouldn't change anything!

I love you bunches more!
