So most of you reading this, family, friends, and cyber stalkers alike, know us, but don't know a whole lot about our lives since we've been here, there and everywhere... Here's a little recap!!
DADDY, AKA Tannar Rehrer or #85
As most of you know, Tannar is preparing to play his Senior year. We each have mixed emotions about this being his last year of college... First obviously we're ecstatic to be able to have our life outside of college begin.. Get his career started, and see what's in store for us.. But on the other hand, we'll miss our life style. We appreciate everything we have SO SO SO much because we have worked so hard for each individual thing. We'll miss the friendships and the comradery of our fellow starving students... We'll miss his teammates and their girls... But we've made friends that have touched our lives forever... Enough about that, onto the good stuff, the season is just beginning and we've got a ways to go before we're out of the college life for good!! Tannar doesn't like it when I brag about him so I won't get into how well he's done, but I can tell you all how proud I am of him. I've never, in my life, met anyone who loves anything the way Tannar loves football. He has so much passion for the game that I sometimes have to ask him which he loves more, me or football, don't worry I always win!!! I've complained through out the years about how much football controls our lives, I've finally come to the realization that I can either accept it, and join him in loving it, or I can fight it forever. It's not something that is going to go away. I had to re-think it all and realize that I love it because it makes him happy... The things we do for our men... He starts the season off with Mississippi State on September 1st... We'll have a houseful of Rehrer boys and girls that are coming to support along with some Fords... We will have a seat reserved for Scotty and I know Tannar will feel his spirit as he plays that day helping him jump high and run fast. Love you Scotty and I know you're always with him...
We appreciate everything everyone has done to help and to support Tannar's dream through the years. Keep him in your prayers that he'll stay healthy to finish out his dream...
Mama AKA Mags:
Well as for me, things are basically the same, just in a different area code. Work, kids and football... Oh and I'm pregnant. SURPRISE!!! # 4 will be here at the end of this year... We find out what it is this week and we're looking forward to the new addition, stressing about it majorly, but excited all the same. I am working for an insurance adjuster and LOVE LOVE LOVE my job. No one has a better boss or coworkers. Life is busier than it's ever been, but we're learning to slow down and enjoy the precious moments. Memphis is starting to grow on me and my friends here are amazing. I love my kids more than I love to breath and I love watching them grow...
Ryker Easton:
Oh my Ryker Roo is getting so big... He'll be 5 in October. I cry about it, but I think the hormones are partially to blame. He was the first and changed my life immensely. I ask him all the time if he remembers the first time I saw him (he obviously doesn't, but I like to tell him the story.) I think he's sick of hearing it!! He loves to introduce Tannar and I to all of his friends and is so proud of his family. He walked into my bedroom the other day while I was folding laundry and said, "mom will you put your hair down?" In the 108 degree weather, I was little less than enthusiastic about it. I answered no and grumbled about being too hot. He says in his sweet little voice," I promise I won't touch it. Will you please put it down, just for a second?" I put it down and he says, "You look beautiful with your hair down." He then turned around and left the room. I cried like a baby!! Even in my grungy sweats, no makeup and sweating like a fat, pregnant pig, he loves me enough to tell me he thinks I'm beautiful. He has one of the biggest hearts and kindest spirits of anyone I've ever met, young or old. He's so honest and if he happens to ever tell a little white lie he is the first to come clean. He's one of the truly amazing people that were sent to this earth. He will change lives and I know he has incredible things to come. Breaks my heart that I can't keep him little forever, but I'll let him get big, but only because I have to!!
Madax James:
Our little Moo Moo will be 3 in November. He has the same fun loving spirit as his daddy. You can't help but look at him and love him. He's got the look of hell in his eyes and 90% of the time he's tormenting and teasing everyone... All trickery aside, no one can love the way Madax loves. He has his daddies heart and is too giving for his own good. I look at him and see life. He' bar none the most giving person I've ever met in my life. He will not accept his dinner, a snack, a drink, a new toy, ANYTHING unless he knows Ryker has one too. He's 2 years old and would give you the shirt off of his back. I can't help but think about how he came into this world. Madax saved our little family and I'll never forget the strength of his spirit. Since day 1 I've said that he knows more about this world than any of us. He has wisdom in his eyes, its just under all the mischievousness. Nothing makes me happier than when he climbs into bed with me and says "mom, I love you more than the sun and all the stars." And he means it. His heart is huge. His giggle makes me cry because it makes me so happy... Hormones again I think...
Daizi Kaidance:
Little Diva Daizi turned 1 in June. She is as feisty as they come and she takes no grief from anyone!!! She can hold her own and will more than likely be the toughest girl around, thanks in most part to her older brothers. She is the queen and she knows it. Not princess... QUEEN.. This house is her kingdom and she rules it... It's her world, we just live in it... All sassyness aside, she is precious. I'm her mother, and you can take my opinion for what it's worth, but I have never seen anything prettier than my little Daizi. She rides in the grocery cart and throws kisses like a beauty queen.. She'll keep us on our toes I'm sure!! She LOVES to snuggle, especially with me and Tannar. She'll curl up in her little nook, laying her head on our arm, and lay there for ever without making a sound. She'll occasionally pinch my nose and wait for me to say "honk honk" and she'll often sit up and kiss us but other than that she's content just being loved. She gets so excited to see us even if we're just walking into the room. She's got a huge personality and is so fun to watch. I could just gobble her up like a turkey... She's so so smart and learns so quickly. I'm interested to see how she handles a new baby.. Time will tell!
This is our world... Thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at our blog and takes interest in our lives. The Memphis Rehrers
