technical difficulties

well i was doing pretty good getting you all caught up but now we are having tech problems w/ the camera. as soon as we get it fixed we will show you more of our summer adventures. come back ya hear...

the envelope please...

after many many months of talking about whether to find out the gender of this baby- we decided that we would let m tell us the news. we had an ultrasound picture that showed the answer and we gave m the honors. she is very thrilled about having a little brother.

tiptoe through the tulips

we had the most beautiful tulips come this year. i picked up a bag of mixed bulbs at sams and was blown away by them. m of course had wonderful time walking through them one day. isn't she the most of them all?
(these were back in may by the way)

Green Thumb

These are M's very own roses sent by her grandma. M had a great time planting them and hopefully we'll see roses soon.

Visit to Durham

We took a quick trip to Durham to catch up with friends and check on the house. Edsel spent one day catching up on some stuff while I went to see my kids from P-town who were all at the Special Olympics. They were so excited to how M had grown and they all noticed 'the bump' growing again and knew to ask if there was another baby coming.
We are thankful to the Sotos who always seem to find a place for us to crash when we come to town. M took quite the likings to A & R. We only got a snapshot of A with M-she likes the older boys. Her daddy just doesn't know what to do.
We had a wonderful time seeeing everyone. Durham will always have a special place in our hearts.

Party in the Park

We had everyone come to the park to celebrate M's bday. It had been a beautiful week and then the weather reports came in to expect storms on Saturday. We were very lucky that the storms stayed awayed and we just got the cold weather. After bundling up the little lady we went to the park for some b-day fun. By the way that was my daddy's bike that he got on his first birthday. Thanks for saving it for me mamaw.

The BIG ONE!

She's one! What an amazing year we have had with our little girl. These are pics from her birthday proper. We played all day then went out for pizza. We opened presents and called one more grandma who couldn't come to KY. Of course what would a brithday be without cake. Mommy made a chocolate and vanilla cake -not knowing which one I would like. Can you tell which one I liked?
