Nap Time

 There is usually about one hour during the day when these two angels are sleeping during the same time...I never know whether to sit in the chair and rejoice in the quiet house or tackle a few items I need to complete. But I sure do appreciate that one hour every day.

Welcome Bennett Grey

 We welcomed Bennett Grey to our little family on August 17.  He is a precious boy and a good sleeper...thank you Lord!

 Big Brother is delighted with our new baby and is very gentle with him, for the most part.

Making Memories

2 years old!

Happy Birthday August Tyler!  We celebrated Little Sugar's 2nd birthday last week.  We started out with breakfast together and his Papa had gotten him a dinosaur balloon which he LOVED! He carried it around with him for most of the day.

We also went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch, and this 8 month preggers mama attempted to go down the slide in the play place...Not easy!

That night we had cake and ice cream...Little Sugar inherited his mama's sweet tooth so he was digging the cake.

It was a great day of celebration.  August is such a sweet boy...right now he loves playing with his cows, horses, bear and other small animals.  He is also recently interested in cars, trucks and airplanes.  This summer he has discovered he enjoys the swimming pool, but he wants to stay close to the steps.  But if I give him a water hose turned on in the back yard, he will be entertained for a good hour.  He has a really great vocabulary and is very friendly...He has recently started asking people when we are out, "how are you?"  We sure do love this sweet rascal!

Happy 4th!

We had an uneventful 4th of July this year, but a few days later, we went down to my mom & dad's house to have dinner and shoot off some fireworks.  We rode the 4 wheeler and enjoyed a lovely evening.

Little Sugar had sparklers and talked about firecrackers in the sky for several days after we watched them.
