Memorial Weekend

Memorial weekend was a little wet this year. But we had a good time. The skies would clear up for a little playing in the yard with the kids. Hannah and Sophie was so glad to see each other again. They play so well together, Hannah watches out for Sophie like a Big Sister. Dalton is such a big boy, he looks just like Tonya. I can tell this summer is going to be fun. Sophie is ready to go riding in Papas boat...The boys just love to be at the river and play with all the dogs and of course the water guns. It gets really hot at the river, but the drinks are always cold. Its nice when you know that you dont have drive home. The Grandparents are always around...

Yummy!!

Thanks Mom, nothing like drinking a little Hurricane on a rainy day at the Warrior River.....All I needed was one since she did buy Barcardi 151.....

Picking Flowers...

Learning early

Sophie is learning early....Go for the wallet. Her Mama is trying to teach her the important things in life.LOL

Enough Pictures!!

I had to share these pictures. I think Sophie was done with me taking her picture. She is such a little drama queen. She wouldnt do very well with paparazzi...

"Get that neck"

Sophie thinks it so funny when PaPa gets her neck. She gets so tickled...Here lately we cant past by their road without Sophie saying "Papa Grannys house".

Loves Bubbles...

I got a new toy. I bought a digital SLR camera from Kim. I havent had much time to play with it, but i know i am really going to love it. Thanks Kim, I have really been wanting to purchase one, but i just couldnt shell out that much money these days. I have really had a hard time catching Sophie with my other camera b/c the shutter speed just wasnt fast enough. She doesnt hold still very long these days. Thanks Kim....

Happy Mothers Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day. This was one of my surpises that Sophie made at school. This means more to me than anything.

We planted some tomato plants this year in some pots on the deck. This is a first. We already have some baby tomatos. Sophie loves to water them in the evenings with her watering can.

Well, I took Sophie and Mims to the river. We had a fun time. They loved playing and eating popsicles and chasing each other around. I was a little nervous about having them both, but we had a good time. Just a first of many river trips this summer.

Little Miss Princess

We had to put on a party dress today. To celebrate Nannys birthday at the Bright Star. So we took a couple of pictures before we left. Of course everyone thought she was so cute. She cried when we finally got home she did not want to take the dress off. She loves dress up.

Happy Birthday Nanny

Well we all went to the Bright Star today to have a early celebration of my Nanny's birthday. She will be 85 on Wednesday. My mom made her a homemade strawberry cake (yummy). We left with a empty cakeplate after all the waitstaff got a look at it. I hope I live to see 85 and am able to watch Sophie grow up and have a family of her own and see my great grandkids. I love you Nanny.. We couldnt have 85 candles I think its against firecode. HAHA. So we settled with three for past, present and future.

Well Sophie had a fever virus last week...Was only to able to go to school 3.5 days.( What would we do without Grandparents). I wasnt too worried about things until the night her fever went to 105.8. You talk about the nervous Mama. I think i forgot for about 1omins that i was a nurse and have worked at Childrens for 8 years. So once I calmed down, stripped her naked gave her some Motrin and nice bath. Things were ok, it didnt take long for the fever to start dropping.
So of course she felt rotten. So I wanted to cheer her up a little, so what little girl doesnt want a kitchen to play with. I was right, she has really enjoyed it. I dont think I have ever eaten so many plastic "brench bries" or hotdogs in my life...

Little Miss Picasa

Wanna Hug ?

Sophie is enjoying the paint (washable) the Easter bunny brought. She loves to color so we thought we would try the paint, and its a hit. It has been so pretty outside. She loves to play outside. So we have been doing a lot of outdoor activites. Before the humid Alabama heat only allows us (meaning Mama) to be outside in short increments. Unless we are at the river enjoying a Pontoon ride or at the beach.

Spring School Pictures

Here are some of Sophie's spring school pictures. The quality is not the best I had to use the scanner. I think they turned out cute for a school picture.

This morning after I got Sophie ready for school. I just sat back and looked at her, she looks so grown up. Its really hard watching her grow up so fast.
