Still Here!!

I believe it has been about 4 weeks since my last post and I apologize!! We have been absolutely busy! Playing with friends, traveling, sewing projects, swimming, all the great things summer has to offer! I will post pictures this week, I promise! Janie Belle is walking and Braxton talks in paragraphs and is always asking me questions!! Always!! "Mommy, where's my daddy??" is my favorite, as if I have absolutely no idea who he even is! The funny thing is he usually will answer his own questions! "Daddy's in the woods, cutting trees!" or "Daddy's riding the tractor." He loves to talk about the weather! "Mommy, it's windy this morning, I think it's gonna rain." or "It's hot today, we need to go to the pool!" Janie Belle had her pictures made yesterday and she cried the whole time! I honestly couldn't believe it! This baby never cries, never! But put a beautiful 100 year old gown and bonnet on her, stick her in garden and she will melt to pieces!
Love to all!

Family Party

My mom gave Janie Belle her cradle and little bureau from when she was a little girl! She made bedding for the cradle that matched Janie Belle's room! My sister and I played with this also when we were little girls!

Singing Happy Birthday with the not-so-Paula-Deen cake! Yummy!!

We celebrated with family on Thursday with a cookout and a raspberry-limeade cake that I got form a Paula Deen recipe but did not look a thing like Paula Deen's beautiful version! None the less, Janie Belle enjoyed it and we had fun! I got her a tutu for her birthday and it was adorable! She started singing at her party, it was too sweet! She would sing and sing and then would clap at herself, she is really getting to be a big girl! We love you Bellsie!!

Janie Belle's Tea Party

What a sweet party for our sweet little baby girl! She really enjoyed herself and so did the little girls! It was so nice to celebrate her first year with close friends and those we love!

Little Boots Rodeo

Braxton's ready for his Rodeo debut!

There is a rodeo in Montgomery every year just for kids! It was the cutest thing! Some friends of our told us about it and we knew Braxton would just love it! He participated in a dump truck race, stick horse race and the boots race. Let me just say that he didn't really know what was going on, but boy did he jump right in there, and have a blast!! He followed all the other little kiddies around and loved it! We will definitely be making this an annual family event! Way to go big boy!!

Little Miss turns one!!

This is the pitiful face she made after a wave swept over her tiny toes!!

Taking a snooze on the beach!! How pleasant!!

This precious little thing will be one year on Thursday, May 21!! She is my little doll and puts so much joy and love into our family! I really cannot believe a year has gone by since she was born! We had her party Sunday, I will post that later!

Mothers Day at Rosemary Beach, FL

We spent the week before Mother's day and the weekend at the beach and no doubt had a wonderful time! Even miss priss played all in the sand and didn't mind a bit! B absolutely loved it and was so excited to be there! The first day, the waves were his absolute favorite! He kept saying, "jump with mommy, run with mommy!!" We couldn't even get him to play in the sand! Then the pool was a big hit and we had to persuade him to go the beach! Then when Isaac, my brother and dad came, the sand was the cool place to be! He loved it all! It's just so sweet watching them play and enjoying all that the ocean has to offer! It's definitely our favorite family place!!

Pool Fun!

Braxton and Great Uncle Jef Frey!!

"I think I'd rather have a snack!

Would you say he's bretty excited?? Definately!!

Family

Playing with Daddy War Eagle!!!!

Braxton learned how to "Cheers!" It was too cute! He did it all day!

Uncle Joe and B dug a hole and Sissy had to get in it! Too Funny!

Playing Sweet!!

Braxton had been talking about the beach for months, no joke, so I knew he was going to be all about it! I was a little nrevous about Janie Belle but she jumped right in there with Big brother! She was happy and content until a wave got her! Then it was over!! She's such a girl!

Fun in the Fountains!!

These fountains are right across the street from our resort. They are absolutley great, even Janie Belle had to get in on the fun! It was a nice, cool break from the sandy beaches!
