Watching Chunky Monkey

I watched Luke "aka Chunky Monkey" today while Beth and John went out of town. He truly is a sweet baby. I got a glimpse of how Jacob might react around another baby - all I can say is... jealous! Boy, he did not want to share his Momma at all! I cannot believe how much he would deliberately pick on Luke. I don't know how many times I had to say, "leave him alone".

Then there were times when they were making each other laugh, and it was so precious. They were actually playing together - so cute! Luke is so funny when he gets excited. He gets the biggest grin (with all those teeth) and starts crawling like a madman.

He loved looking out the front door. Sat there for a while content as could be. Look at those legs!


Trying to get him to wave at me.


He loved sitting in the big boy chair at the table. Cute!
And yes, Jacob has on 2 different pajamas.

Jacob was already in his crib taking a nap, so I made a pallet on the floor for Luke - picture didn't quite turn out.

Laughing from the flash of the camera. I would also say this summed up our day together! Good times Luke!! We love you!!!!

5yrs ago today...

Happy 5th Anniversary to my wonderful sister Beth and brother-in-law John! What a beautiful bride Beth made, and a beautiful ceremony that I was lucky to be a part of!

Hello, anyone there?

I'm actually sitting here thinking as if I have a hundred readers and I need to be more entertaining than just posting pics of my kid. Should I feel guilty for showing off my favorite subject? Should I cut back? I'm just not creative enough to write compelling, entertaining posts. I mean for pete's sake I put the Ped Egg on here! Which I still haven't used by the way, however, I did get a professional to work on these hoofs! So I should be good for now.

Does anyone else get into a fog and not have anything to post? Why do I feel like I need to post regularly? I don't want to lose the 2 readers I have because they become uninterested in just another picture of my son.

Would you rather watch a video?
p.s. Beth, it's only 29sec. I think you have time.

Jacob's latest school pic

Growing up too fast.

Happy Monday!

Hope your Monday is better than mine!

Sweet Cousins

Jacob and Kate are watching their Dad's outside. Look how sweet Kate has her arm around Jacob. You also may notice that Jacob is wearing Kate's Pink Crocs, and she has on Jacob's Elmo shoes. :)

Walk to the Park

Saturday was such good weather, so after taking Jacob to get his picture made with the Easter Bunny, we decided to walk down to Bogle Park.

Here he is in the buggy. Either this hurts his ears or he likes the noise. :)

Ironically, we saw a bunny on our way to the park. Nice tulip.

Jacob enjoyed roaming around.

I like this one of him walking.

This was his expression the entire time.

Ready, Set, Out

This was Jacob once we got onto the interstate yesterday after leaving Meme's house. He was exhausted. He's doing this new thing with his arms behind his head. Typically its when we read a book to him or he's watching TV in our lap. Guess he thinks it's comfortable, not me.

Happy Easter!

Whew, what a whirlwind. We arose (no pun intended) bright and early this morning, got in our Easter Sunday best, and headed to Russellville at 8am to join Meme & Papaw at their church. Then went back to their house for a delicious lunch--thanks Meme! We had a wonderful visit with family. Sorry it was so short, we were back on the road by 3pm.

None of the kiddos wanted their picture made today, below is the best I could get.

This is Jacob in the same ears from last year that I posted in my Way-Back post this week.


This is the closest I could get both of them looking forward. Still cute!


Here is the adorable Bunny Cake Meme made for the grandkiddos. However, it was eaten by all. Thanks Meme! It was delish!


p.s. I did not forget my sweet little Luke. I remember taking a couple of pictures of him in the bunny ears, but now that I think about it, I was using John's camera. Hopefully they turned out good, and Beth will post on her blog.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter!

It's Friday, Sunday's Coming

I hope you have 3.39mins to spare to watch this powerful video. Praise God, HE HAS RISEN!

Easter Attire

Does this say spring to you?

How about with a little of this...

And a little of that...

This my friends is my selection for Easter Sunday. I know it's not typical pastel, springy colors, however, not everything looks good on me, and I'm hoping this does the trick. I actually haven't tried it on all together. Must do that tonight! Now I have to find little man something to wear. Then it will be off to get a picture made with the Easter Money, as Jacob calls it.
