Tractors!

She got to hang out with Isaac a lot on Saturday and just loved it!!

Braxton riding with his Grandpa!!

In case you didn't know, Isaac loves to farm and Braxton does too! Janie Belle even took her first trip on a tractor recently. She, even liked it! I personally don't ride tractors, I don't even think I've been on one since I married the man. Anyways, a regular Saturday or Sunday for our family usually involves tractors! We have way too many of them but Isaac would say we need a few more! But, the kids just love it and it's great quality time with daddy. (Which, in turn, means more free sewing time for mommy!!) Anybody want a tractor ride?? Just come out to our house!

Sewing Projects

I smocked these dump trucks for B. I like the bright colors and the pretty green

This was my first attempt at a "pillowcase" dress. It was very easy and I like the orange pattern

My mother began teaching me how to smock and sew in January of this year. Since then, I have been hooked and truly enjoy it. I finally got a sewing and embroidery machine a few weeks ago and have gone bananas making stuff for the kiddies! I have not taken pictures of my newest finished projects but hope to so I can document my work and share with my friends! I just love this hobby...I enjoy putting a lot of work into something that my kids can wear and looks adorable!

Tailgate Fun!!

Braxton with Uncle Joe ready for Tiger Walk!!

We had a great time Saturday with Family and Friends! Winning the game made it even better! How about those tigers??

WAR EAGLE!!

Enjoy the game and Waaaaaarrrrrr Eagle!!

Sweet Girl!!

Playing with her tea set and loving her bunny!!

This was my dress and bonnet my mother made! Sweet!

Our little Belle Belle is now 15 months old! She is such a little sweet heart! She's trying to talk more and is very playful. She mostly likes to ride toys around the house and push trucks with big brother. She loves, loves, loves her shoes, which she calls, "oosh, oosh," and wants them on at all times! She likes to put a bow in her hair, but then just wants to take it out again and again. I still love her sweet, thin baby hair so I'm not pushing the bow quite yet! She likes to sing and dance and love peas and carrots! I really can't get over how fast she's growing! What an angel!!

Aubie

Poor Kitty!!

Isaac brought home this little kitten yesterday and he is Braxton's new best playmate!! He toted that kitten all over our yard yesterday afternoon. It was hilarious! He told the kitty about all of his stuff, he tried to put him down for a nap, and he got upset when the kitty wouldn't sit still in his gator! The kitty will stay outside and they are rather nice to have around, to keep out snakes and such. When you live on a farm I guess you can't help but have a little kitten around!

1st Day of Pre-School

Braxton had his first day of pre-school yesterday at FUMC Opelika! I just really can't believe it!! My little baby boy is growing up too fast, as they often do! He was happy to go along with the program until it was actually time for me to leave. He wanted Janie Belle to go with him which I thought was so, so sweet! On the way in the car, he wanted to hold Janie Belle's hand and he would say, "Sissy wants to go with me to pre-school." He just kept holding her hand and did not want to let go, it was a heart breaker! Then he said, "Momma, what you gonna do?" As if he'd be missing out on something. It was a sweet morning and his teachers, Jenny Galimore and Laura McKay, said he had a lot of fun and was well behaved! I shed some tears saying good-bye. Tears of joy for him mostly, and all the love and happiness he gets to experience this year!

Fun with Buddies

This was funny! While on the disc, we tried to show Braxton how to do a thumbs up to go faster. Instead of the thumbs up, he would point up and say, "faster, faster!"

We spent Saturday with the Jackson Family and Horak family on the lake. Braxton had lots of fun with his best buds Whit and Christian!! We went on a boat ride and he got to ride a disc with mommy and daddy!! It really was a great day for the lake! Thank you Kristen and Rob for the invitation and hospitality, we really enjoyed it!!

Fun on the Gator

This is absolutely our best toy yet! Santa did very well! Braxton will drive this thing all over our place everyday! And Janie Belle is finally strong enough, and brave enough, to ride with him! She really loves it! She holds on tight and enjoys the ride! She is really getting so, so big! Her first real word, besides momma, is "baby." She says it so sweetly. (As if she's not a baby herself!!) She has a very tender heart and will get her feelings hurt very easily! She is our little doll!

Braxton thinks he knows it all! He wants to dress himself and do everything else himself! He starts pre-school next week and he is pumped! He has been telling everyone, "I'm gonna go to pre-school!" He even wants to wear his new clothes and shoes!

Enjoy the pictures!!

Lake Fun

We went to the lake yesterday with our friends Blake and Lybbi Epperson and very much enjoyed it. Braxton took his first cruise on a wave runner and absolutely loved it!! He rode several times and when we got ready to leave he said, "Daddy, I want one of those!!" "Not any time soon buddy," was Isaac's reply!! Little Belle enjoyed herself too!! Thanks Blake and Lybbi, you guys are great!!
