This baby is coming to visit us tomorrow and I am so excited!

We're going to play, read books, have tea parties, swing, eat watermelon and whatever else she wants to do!

I can't wait!

Zachary, an official high school student

Zachary is moving on up!  He is now officially a high school student and a member of the football team.  GO ZACHARY! 
Enjoy these years...stay good and sweet!  Life will be much easier that way!  We're cheering for you from the Plateau.  Maybe we can come watch you play sometime!

Haley Anne - The Graduate!

It's hard to believe that my niece's daughter, Haley, is a high school graduate!  She graduated in May at the top of her class!  Congratulations Haley!  Proud of you!

Kim & Hunter

Kim sent me this picture so I could see how much Hunter has grown.  He's almost as tall as Kim!  And, she's wearing heels too! 
I don't get to see these two very often and I sure miss them.  Kim is as sweet as she is beautiful!  But, she better stay out of the sun! :)

Sandy's Surprise Happy Birthday Luncheon

Stacie surprised her mother with a happy birthday SURPRISE luncheon at Boston's today.  Several of Sandy's co-workers and friends gathered in her honor.  It was a milestone happy birthday...number 65!  But, who's counting?

The cake looked like we should be asking if it's a boy or a girl!  HA!

Only 1 candle.  65 would have set the place on fire!

Our butterball Sadie bug - 5 months old

Our Sadie bug is five months old!  She has one tooth and has lost practically all her hair.  The hair coming back in though looks to be blond.  I hope it's blond!  Tandi had blond hair when she was a baby.  Sadie loves to play with her feet and even suck on her toes.  Her newest trick is sucking on her bottom lip.  She's probably getting another tooth!  She is eating cereal and fruit now before bed, although she hates the cereal.  The parents have given in and are now just feeding her fruit.  Smart move!  Sadie sleeps great at night too.  She goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps until around 4:30.  Sometimes she just needs her sassy in her mouth and will sleep for a few more hours.  Perfect if you ask me!  She is getting more and more friendly too.  Her meltdowns are fewer and farther between!  YAY!  She can roll from her belly to her back and vice-versa.  She will hold toys now and reaches for them.  She knows her bottle too and what to do with it!
Sadie smiles with her mouth wide open and sometimes she smiles so big that you can't see her eyes.  She can't seem to smile without using her hands either!
She smiles with her whole face!  LOVE IT!
She will talk to you too and will blow bubbles.  So sweet! 
Oh how we love our Sadie bug!

Sadie Bee!

This baby bee is buzzing with smiles!

Happy Birthday to MamMaw

We took MamMaw out to eat for her happy birthday.  All the girls and Brady went to Cookeville early to shop.  Fun, fun!
We met the boys at Longhorn Steakhouse at 4:00.
The food was delicious and the fellowship was delightful!  We love our MamMaw!
Happy Birthday MamMaw!

Our little Sadie bug

This little bug and I had so much fun today!  She is such a blessing.  I love my Friday's with her.
