Introducing: Drey Asher Taylor!

We got a bit of a surprise for Thanksgiving this year: a new baby boy! Felicia was scheduled for a C-Section on December 2nd but Mr. Drey Asher Taylor had other ideas! She started having contractions early Tuesday evening (11/24/09) and Drey made his entrance into the world at 11:20pm! He weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. I spent the night at Chris and Felicia's house with Tripp so Freddie and Fallon could go to the hospital. The next morning we went up and Tripp met his little brother! I don't think the reality of the situation is going to set in for him until he realized that Drey is coming home to live with them!!

The Taylor family got to come home on Thanksgiving day and we all pulled together to have a feast all ready! It was a really fun day! Little Olivia is almost three months old now and got to meet her new cousin on Thanksgiving Day, too! It was quite comical! She's not used to seeing someone smaller than her!

I know Nana was looking down from Heaven and loving it! She would have just loved having all these sweet babies around!

It was truly a Thanksgiving to be thankful for!

Time to say THANKS!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I'm so excited that's it's rolled around yet again! Thought I'd take a minute and say thanks for a few things.

1. My family: I'm so blessed in this department! The older I get the more I realize my family truely is rare in the fact that we're all still so close. Most people I know rarely, if ever, see their cousins on a regular basis. My cousins are like brothers and sisters to me and I've never really known anything different. I also have three of the coolest aunts you could ever ask for! And I don't know what I'd ever do without my parents and my brother and sister. My family is a gift and I love them all dearly!

2. My friends: My life would be quite dull without my crazy group of friends around me! They lift me up when I need lifting and cheer me up when I need cheering!

3. My work: My job as a chiropractic assistant really has changed my life. I look for the good in people because I've learned that when people are hurting it's really hard for them to be nice. I've learned to smile at everyone who walks into my office because I may be the only person who's nice to them all day. A smile can change everything! I work with two AMAZING women who have enriched my life and made me a better person!

Life is good people! I hope you can find something to be thankful for today!

Going to see AC/DC tonight at Ford Center in OKC! I saw them the last time they came through town several years ago and had front row seats! It was awesome! My seats this time around aren't front row but they're still pretty good. Section 227. Not bad.

Rock on!!!

Happy Birthday Kelsey!

Today my cousin Kelsey turns 23 years old!

I'm so proud of this girl! When she was little she was hell on wheels and many of us in the family were unsure as to what she would amount to. She has turned out to be such a great kid!

She went to Murray State and became a veterinary technician. After she got out of school she moved in with me for awhile while she decided if she would like her new job at Marlow Vet Clinic. I was a little unsure about it but it turned out great! We had so much fun together and really became close friends. We had many fun adventures together and we still go out together as much as possible.

She may not know what couscous is, or that England is a country in Europe but to me she is awesome and I love her! Happy birthday Kelsey!!!!!!!!!!

Billy Joe Shaver

As mentioned in a previous blog Kelsey and i went to see Billy Joe Shaver on October 17th at Muscle Car Ranch here in Chickasha. I just love Billy Joe! He's a true legend who, in my opinion, has never gotten the recognition he truly deserves. It was a great night and here are some pics.

His book "Honky Tonk Hero" is a good read if you ever get the chance. He's led a crazy and sometimes tragic life.
