Granddaddy's little buddy is not so little anymore!!







Carsen has always loved to lay with my Dad!! However, it used to be a lot easier when he was smaller. One of the things that I love about this stage in Carsen's life is that he tries to act like such a big boy (After all being seven is an adult in his eyes!!!) but deep down inside he is still Mommy's little boy!!! He has always loved to cuddle and so far he has not out grown that. He loves laying on my Dad when he has his PJ's on because he says "Granddaddy keeps me warm!" I am so thankful that my children affectionate. I hope that is something that they never outgrow!!!



Smile Jesus Loves You!!!!








Presley made this little sign at choir. I thought it was the cutest thing ever!!!! Of course it might just be the little faces that are poking through it that makes it so cute. There is nothing like the face and smile of a child to remind you of God's never ending love!!!

Aunt Donna and Uncle David Visit!!!





On Sunday after church we had a special treat!! Aunt Donna and Uncle David came by to see Camden. They could not believe how BIG he had gotten!!! It is amazing how quickly they grow. Of course, they both wanted to hold him but as you can see Presley is never far away from her baby brother. I don't think that there is ever a time when she is not right in his face!!! I swear he knows when she is coming!!!

Playgroup Valentine's Day Party!!!













The Valentine's Day Party for Playgroup was at our house. The kids were all decked out in their red and pink (which was not planned by the way!!!). We had a great time eating snacks and decorating bags to put our Valentine's in. All of the brought a card for each of their friends and then I attempted to take a group picture of all of them. This was better in thought than theory!! I promise that Ethan and Davis were there but being the sweet little boys they are they let the girls have the spotlight!! (Or at least that's the way I saw it!!) Anyway, every time we all get together I look around and think how lucky I am to have such a wonderful group of friends to spend my days with and raise my children. We are counting on these children being life long friends.


Camden talks to Mommy!!!



Here is Camden talking to his Mommy!! I love the little noises that they make at this age!! You know that they are trying so hard to say something!! I can say with confidence that here he is saying that he Loves his Mommy!! Mommy love you to little angel!!!

Camden is 2 Months Old!!! (What in the World!!!)




My baby is already 2 months old and has found his smile!!! He is possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen. It is amazing how quickly they start to change. He is smiling, cooing, and discovering his hands. In case there is any doubt the idea that he might look like me has quickly faded. He looks more like Tom everyday. I told one of my friends it is like having Tom with me at all times. He is definitely a Mommy's Boy and I am not going to lie he is rarely out of my arms. I have learned very quickly how fast this time flies and I plan on soaking up every possible minute with him!!!
2 Month Milestones:
Height: 24 inches
Weight: 12 lbs. 5 0z.



Carsen Starts Baseball!!



Is Daddy hurt already?





Well, today kicked off baseball season. Carsen is on the A's this year and is really looking forward to playing baseball again. His coach this year is Bowdie Jenkins and to start off the year Bowdie had a cookout at his house and a ball game of Parent's vs. Kids!!! What a Blast!!! The kids and parents both were having the best time. Of course, there was a lot of talk of who was going to win. I am glad to report that the kids ending up winning!!! If you talk to the Dad's though they will tell you they won!!! It is such a joy to watch Carsen play something that he loves. It really makes the experience worth it. It is neat to see how much better they get in just 1 year. I will post more pictures once he has his uniform and I am sure I will be able to come up with something for Presley to wear to the games to support her Big Brother!!!

Camden and his new toy!!!

I look more like my Daddy daily!!!

I can't believe that his hair looks so red!!!


It goes without saying that Camden is growing bigger everyday!!! He is starting to discover the things around him so I decided to get out this toy and see what he did. Needless to say he loves it!!! He looks at all of the things hanging from it and smiles. Why is it that something this simple can make you heart melt and you eyes fill up with tears.

Carsen and Presley's Birthday Party


Carsen and Presley had their birthday party together this year at INK!! All of the kids had such a great time!!! It was one of the best birthday parties we have had!! Here are some pictures to enjoy!! Of course, I still can't believe that my kids are growing up this fast. I promise I thought they were still babies.
