Swimming at Sweet Pa & MeMe's House

We went swimming tonight at MeMe & Sweet Pa's house. The babies loved it...it felt like their bath water! They both were so relaxed!! Cooper chewed on the boat handle the whole time & Hadley just took everything in! We had a great evening!!!

Look at those 'pruny' feet!

6 Month Portraits

I simply cannot express in words how much I love these pictures that my sister took last night! I was so worried that the babies would not last long enough to get any good shots since we were shooting around their bedtime. I let them take a later nap than usual & they did great! We actually shot for about an hour and a half. I.AM.SO.BLESSED!!!

Thank you...thank you...thank you Mika Beth!!! You are simply amazing!!!

They are all so good that I had to post every single one!!!

My Pogee

My Grandmother, Pogee, recently moved to Butterfield Place, a retirement community in my town. I can't tell you how excited I am to have her so close. It is going to be so nice to see her on a daily basis. The babies & I went and ate lunch with her today & it was so much fun!! 

Pogee....I am so happy you have moved here....& I am so glad that you love your new home!! I hope you don't get sick of seeing us so much!!! I love you...please call me if you need ANYTHING!!!

Good visit with dear friends...

Today we had a visit with some special friends of ours from college, Byron & Devrry. I played volleyball with Dev & Michael played football with Byron while at school at SAU. We don't get to see them very often since they live in TX, but they were close by on a bike ride & stopped by for a couple of hours today. It was so good to see them & for them to meet C&H! We had such a nice visit!! Here are a few pics:

Daddy's so silly....

I caught Cooper laughing at his silly Daddy the other day...I love his sweet giggles!!

We have been so busy....

PLAYING...PLAYING...PLAYING!!!

Our Linus!!

This boy loves his blue blanket just like Linus from Charlie Brown! I saw this shirt & HAD to get it!!! I ❤ Linus!!!

Another Sad Day

We got the call from our vets office first thing this morning saying that Rudy had passed away during the night. They had said he seemed to be getting better each day, but were still keeping him because he wouldn't eat.I just don't understand why this had to happen!!! I just still can't believe he & Drake both are gone...Rudy was such a loving & sweet dog and he will be greatly missed!!! I love you Rudy-boy!!!

Here are a few pics of Rudy over the years!!

RIP Rudy
