Sincerely Fro Me to You

It's been ages since I"ve posted a Fro moment, but I found this picture the other day when I was cleaning up, and it had to be shared, even though it's not Christmas time. I was 17 months old when this was taken (almost 18) and Jackson is about to be 17 months old now. Sometimes we struggle to figure out who he looks like, but I can clearly see me in my boy in this picture...what do y'all think, lol.

Yes, his cheeks are a little thicker, but I'd say he's definitely mine ;) And seeing my skinny legs and arms in that pic also makes me feel very reassured about Jackson's size - he definitely gets it honest...now I'm just wondering how I can get those skinny extremeties back, lol.

Sincerely Fro Me to You - WAR EAGLE

In preparation for tomorrow's escape to the Plains and our season opener Saturday, I thought I would take a look at a few AU pics from the past. Here's a few things that I look forward to seeing:



Tiger Walk and Tommy Tuberville


The way people paint and decorate their cars, van, RVs, and everything else :)


How's this for team spirit!?!?!


We always have fun down there!


This was Jackson at his first trip to AU last year - think he sit this still tomorrow and pose for a picture??? Yeah, me either, lol. It's going to be so much fun - hope everyone else enjoys opening weekend as much as we will.

And I couldn't resist posting this picture - if you follow AU football, you know that TT went overseas to the Middle East to visit the soldiers over the summer with a group of other coaches. What a great thing to do! I love this picture and just thought I'd share :)


WAR EAGLE!!!

Sincerely Fro' Me to You

This week's fro-tastic pictures go out to my good friend and old college roomie, Leesa, who's had a long week. I know these pics will make her laugh, because they made Wes and me laugh a whole lote! So Leesa, these are for you - hopefully we'll find time to get together again soon, and take some updated pictures ;-)


I know you remember this...our junior year with you dressed up like the soccer manager that we all knew so well!


Sophomore year in our wonderful room...I shadowed it out because it was a little messy this day, and that was such a rare event, seriously, it was.



Freshman year in the basement...


Freshman year again, obviously around Mardi Gras time. Remember how many times we rearranged our room - I think this was about take 4 or 5 :)


New Year's Eve - the night of the infamous 4 more hours at Tammy's.

Hope these pics made Leesa and everyone else out there smile. It's so funny to look back 10 years ago (AGH!!!) to our freshman year and see how much we've changed :) For more FRO action, head over to We Are THAT Family and join in the fun!!!

These pictures don't go very far back, but I'm hoping they'll help the Braves snap out of the funk that they're in...maybe more for next year than this year though, lol. Any of you who are Braves fans know what I'm talking about. Maybe a little reminiscing will bring some luck to our favorite baseball team! About this time 3 years ago, we were preparing for Wes to be deployed overseas, and we got a phone call saying we'd won 2 tickets to a Braves game, with a tour on the field and vip seats in the Fox SportsSouth box! It actually ended up that the weekend the game would be, was the weekend before Wes left, so we decided someone was wanted us to have some fun before Wes left and we made it a full weekend in Atlanta. We got to the stadium early, and we were able to go down on the field:


This is a picture of us with one of the old FSS broadcasters. Although it was so fun being down there, it was blazing hot...I'm not sure how the guys stand it. The game the night before had gone late and since this game was a day game, we unfortunately didn't get to see batting practice close up. But they let us go into the deep dark depths of the stadium...not in the locker room , but outside of it, and we saw some players come through. We have a few pics with a couple of players, but none of them play for the Braves anymore :( Then it was up to the box to watch the game. Wes and I sat inside in the air conditioning and had a great time. If you've ever been to a game, you know how they have the crazy wild people who pick fans to play games and win prizes in between the innings. Well, since Wes was getting ready to be deployed, he was picked from our group! Here he was on the big screen:



Of course, he got the question right, and we won a prize pack that included a $50 gift card to several local restaurants - woo hoo - supper was paid for!!!


We just hung out the rest of the game, then picked one of the restaurants to go eat at. It was a great weekend that we spent in Atlanta. We try to go to several games each year...Jackson has already been to one, don't you worry :) But this game will be hard to beat! Go Braves!!!

Sincerely Fro Me to You - Jackson's 9 month Checkup

This week's nostalgic moments won't go too far back...just a little over 9 months to be exact. That's when we were so blessed when Jackson entered the world. He was 7 pounds and 7 ounces...at least for a little while (he lost 1/2 lb that day!). We took him for his 9 month checkup yesterday and he now weighs - 18 pounds and 1 ounce! Sounds like a lot, but really, it's on the small side (15th percentile), but he's a little tall for his age (65th percentile), and if y'all have watched the videos, you know how active the little one is! Nonstop!!! Where do you think he gets that from??? Jackson is in perfect health, and we don't have to go back to the doctor until he's one year old. He told us to keep feeding him different foods. A couple of weeks ago we introduced J to meat - he's had ham and chicken. He liked the ham, and we're working on the chicken;) Here's a look back at the little man his first week on earth:


Less than a day old at the hospital...his eyes are half closed. It's hard to believe that he's already 9 months (I know those with you who have 9 year olds are probably laughing, but you remember being here, lol).


Five days old here...your Uncle Noel taking pics of us in the house. You were so calm and quiet... my how times have changed! This is and always will be one of my fav pics of us... in your scrapbook I put "She's got the whole world in her hands!"


And the next scrapbook will have this pic and say "He's got the whole world in his hands!"

Sincerely Fro' Me to You - He's a Harvey

This all originates at We are THAT Family's blog (check it out if you have a chance). This week I want y'all to see Jackson's pic and then look at pics of me and Noel Mark when we were younger. Tell me he doesn't have some Harvey in him! Ok, so here's a pic of the dear child yesterday. Btw - it's so hard to get the child still and get his pic these days. Almost impossible to get him still and smiling b/c he's always on the move...I'm remember Daisy's comment about him doing extreme sports one day, and it's seeming like that more and more likely each day, lol.



Now, I considered cropping the next pic, but I figured everyone should get the full effect of my lovely outfit. I think I was 3 in this pic, so that would make it....1982! aka a long time ago! See the resemblance between my child and myself? He's got my cheeks and lips I believe.



Now, I liked this one not because J and I look alike in it, but notice what I'm doing...playing in the grass (see the pics from a few posts ago). Yes, that's definitely where he gets it. The child cares nothing about dirt - and he gets it honest. Did I mention I was a tomboy.... I guess in a few years when he's making mud pies I'll be right beside him :)



All right, doesn't he look like NM here? Several of you have told me that you think he looks like him, and look at these pics - he does!!!



Ok - one more. NM may kill me for this one - but Jackson has been making this funny face for the past couple of weeks, and now I see where he gets it, lol. That scrunched up nose followed by a laugh. If I could only catch it on camera so you could see it. Thanks Uncle Noel ;-) So - does he look like us when we were little???




It's so fun to pull out and look at these old photos! I love the idea of sharing the past - some of you knew us when we were like this, and some of you are seeing it for the first time. Join in the fun!!!
