This week we finally get to start daycare with Miss Jennifer. The same babysitter that kept your brothers. Mommy is very excited because I know you will be loved and well cared for. Baseball season is just getting started as well and I think you are going to love it. You enjoy outside so much and can't get enough of your brothers. Here's a short video of you. You wouldn't say too much for me. Just know you are our precious gift from the Lord!

Happy 6th Birthday baby boy! You are the life of the party. You wake up smiling and talking and do not stop all day. You bring so much laughter and joy to our home and family. God blessed us beyond words when he gave you to us. You have grown up so much this year. You're so smart and have done so well in K5.

Lucas Mark arrived yesterday at 8:10am. He weighed 8lbs 6.5ounces and was 18 3/4 inches long. Our delivery went perfectly! He is absolutely precious.

A birth, a death and a new addition

It's been awhile. And therefore there is lot to update. First, this sweet little angel entered our world on April 20th and she has already stollen everyone's heart!

This is her right after she was born.







Here she is now.











Here is her brother enjoying some of Uncle Shon's ribs.









My sweet grandmother passed away on May 26th. She was a huge blessing in my life and she will be greatly missed but I'm so glad that she is in heaven and with my Papa again.









Meet our new addition...
This is the 8 week ultrasound. I am now almost 14 weeks (thank goodness!). It's been a little rougher than my other pregnancies. Maybe because I am old. We are due 12/7/10. The boys are hoping and praying for a sister. We will see!

I hosted a baby shower for Michael, Ashley, Trey and Jessie Grace last month. Wanted to share some pictures. Only 2 more weeks and we will get to meet this precious little girl!

Happy Birthday, Mama!

Happy Birthday! I'm so blessed to have you as a Mom and now as my friend. Thank you for everything. You are the best. Have a great day!

Happy 90th Birthday, Nanny!

This is one of my favorites!










My precious grandmother is 90 today. Happy Birthday, Nanny! It's amazing to think how much change you have seen in your life time. From horse and wagons, no electricity, working in the cotton fields and on the farm, walking to school to electricity, cars!, working in a plant. Crazy. You've seen a lot in your life. You are a blessing in my life. Some of the best memories of my childhood were times that I spent with you and Papa. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday, Alex

Here are 2 of my favorite pictures of you this year. In the first one you were showing off your spiked hair for daycare. In the next one you're showing off your stubbornness when you wouldn't eat your dinner and because you had to sit there until you did, you fell asleep. You are my light. Seriously, you light up my life with your energy, your smile and laugh, the way make me laugh and your easy going attitude which makes my life easier. One of my favorite things we've done this year is sing Boom Boom Pow together. All my love sweet baby boy! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, John!

Happy Birthday!! I'm awed that you are 9 today. You are such a blessing to me and I hope one day you will know just how much you are loved. You bring me the most joy. Joy as you grow and learn and become the critical thinker that you are. Joy at the sensitivity I see developing in your concern and care of others. You are my love - my life. Have a wonderful Birthday!
