Jack's dedication

We went yesterday to celebrate Jackson's dedication at church! We were so happy to spend this special occasion with Heather, Greg, Olivia and Jackson! he is just precious and getting so big!

Just a quick update on what we have been up to

Well we have been busy as normal here lately so i just wanted to post a few pics of some things! Hunter is growing like a weed...something that Jason and i just realized today as we were dressing him this morning to go to his Gee's house and literally put on 4 different outfits that seriously just fit last week! Gosh they grow so fast! But he is such a sweet bundle of fun and energy! Now that he is walking he is the new man in the house...he just takes over! He is talking ALOT. Sometimes i wander if he is even supposed to be saying as many words as he does. He gets talking very honestly i must say but pretty much any word you try and get him to say he says something back to you. Right now he is up to about 15 words in his vocabulary with another 5 that not everyone would understand but he tries. And one of his newest things is when he is tired he wants you to sing to him, but not just any song...he says baby for "rock the baby" and he says "twink twink for "twinkle twinkle little star" It melts my heart! But here are some pics for you to enjoy of this past weekend we went to Bounz down in southaven for our friend's little girl Emma's birthday! Hunter didnt know what to think of it all at first with all the blown up slides and jumping areas but he took to it pretty quickly and we had a blast! Here are a couple of pics!

Happy Birthday Allison...oh wait it's not May...just a girls night out

Well Friday night was a fun night out with the girls. It was me, Katrina, Allison and Gwen. The plan was to meet at El Porton in cordova at 7. This was a quick drive for me, Gwen, and Katrina but Allison was running just a couple of minutes behind because she was so willing to drive from Mississippi to our neck of the woods! Little did she know that just a few minutes would provide lots of entertainment to our meal! So we sit down and as we are waiting for Allison we decide to play a small joke on Allison and tell the waiter that it is "our friend that is still on the way's birthday" haha! For those of you that dont know...Allison's birthday is in May. And if any of you know Katrina and I...or have had the pleasure to eat out with us...and whether it is just the two of us or a table full we have a blast! So we get done eating and to be honest with conversation we probably forgot for half a second about the joke until the singing began and it was hilarious! Please see below as we celebrate Allison's "birthday"! Followed by pics that we took thanks to Katrina's super fun idea of going to pumpkin patch and having a photo shoot! We hope that Gwen will dine and hang with the 3 of us again!!!

A little of this and that

Well we have been busy bee's over the past week or so! Last weekend we had Heather's 30th Birthday, which was a yummy dinner down at Kyoto and here are a few pics of that night. In the picture where Hunter is holding a pink baby (we all know how much Jason loves this) haha...this is our friends Amanda and Danny's little girl, Emma's doll...he would not let it go the whole time we went for icecream! We were lucky Emma was so sweet to share! So here are a few pics from that night!

And then on Sunday Allison, Theresa, and I threw a Housewarming Party for Katrina and her new home. Her new house is so cute and i dont have any pics from that day but the day was perfect and i think she really enjoyed every moment of it. There is a pic of me, Allison, and Theresa wearing our new scarves that Katrina got us so maybe i can get my hands on it and post it.

And here are just a couple of just "this and that" pics of things we have been out and about doing! The baby pics are of Jack, and then Olivia is in the pic with Hunter from the day we went to the Germantown Fest and pics of Sunday night when we went to dinner with Jason's parents and Elijah. (Danny missed the photo shoot cause he came from work and missed the pic taking) But we love you LeeLee!!!!! And please enjoy the pic of Jason and Greg playing "Playing ring around the rosies" with Olivia and Hunter! It was hilarious!

Labor Day Fun

We started out our day doing yard work with Dada. As you can see Hunter is loving his bubble mower that his Mimi and Pops got for his birthday!

And he is really getting the hang of it here. Aunt Katrina...do you still need a yard boy???
Hunter had to take a little rest with Gordon under the tree...if this pic was any closer you could see the dirt on his face..he had been working hard!
Then we came in and got cleaned up and ready for some labor day fun over at Memaw and Pepaw's. They only accepted all of the orange walking through the door because Hunter looked so handsome in his! haha!
Here Hunter is with his Gee..gosh he is crazy about his Gee..but who wouldnt be??
And one of our funnest things at Memaw and Pepaw's is eating their homemade icecream...oh man she needs to open a business. We had banana and peach icecream and as you can see Hunter demanded going back and seeing what was left in those buckets! And Aunt Heather please notice what accompanied us...yes its "Mater" this is one of Hunter's favorite toys he got his birthday. Aunt Heather and Uncle Greg sure do know how to pick out some cool gifts! He was busy with it all day!

And as you can see here...Aunt Sonya is always taking Hunter on some fun adventures. He got to personally escort the icecream back to his keeping place.

And then the afternoon ended with a picture on LeeLee's tractor! Gosh Hunter cant wait to drive that around!

And this is a pic from Dalton's BIg 16th birthday party on Sunday! Happy Birthday Dalton...we Love you!And here is an OH SO PRECIOUS pic f Jack...check out those eyes. THey are just big and beautiful!!! I love him so much!

Did he just....WALK??? Oh my!

Ok so I never had fears in my head that walking was just NEVER going to happen. But as his little friends started walking as they turned 1, i was wandering when our day was coming. Well little did i know that if you asked me this last week i would sigh and say "well he isnt walking yet" and then right now if you asked me i could tell you he may beat your kid in a foot race!!! So Jason calls me friday at work and says "you need to hurry home...your missing a milestone" so my heart just dropped..."i have missed his first steps"..looks like i need to work the night schedule so i dont miss anything..haha...but anyway so once i got home, we were just lounging that night and here Hunter goes, he takes off across the room. Well he didnt do too much on saturday because he was kind of in and out of his stroller and at the fair and so he didnt have alot of practice time, but on sunday...he TOOK OFF. We say he is praising Jesus while he is walking because he walks with his hands raised in the air! He is so precious! I know any mom reading this understands exactly what i am talking about, but it just gives you the warm fuzzies that your child has made this milestone! It is so much fun! I hope this video shows up so you can officially see some of Hunter's first steps! I will post a new one soon cause he is already walking long distances and just taking off!

A rootin tootin good time

We went to the Delta Fest on Saturday and had a great time. Jason, Hunter, Elijah (our nephew) and myself went with Heather, Greg, and Olivia (Jack was at home with mawmaw) and also with Danny, Amanda, and their two precious kids, Emma and Eli. We all had a blast. The kids had a great time and no meltdowns...can you believe it..they just loved being outside, eating the yummy snacks, and taking it all in! Elijah talked me into riding the fireball ride with him and although i used to be a fene for fair rides, i literally got nauseated this time. I dont know if i now realize that the rides are put up in a matter of 3 minutes and just how unsafe that could be or what, cause i love rides! Well so here are a few pics of the day! As you will see Hunter had a ball! He LOVED the little piggies in the petting zoo. He loved all the animals but he wanted to keep on going back to the piggies!!!

Here little piggy piggy..
