Our Special Angel!

We just love our precious Emersyn. She's growing up so fast and has developed such a cute little personality. She is so special to everyone in our family. My mom and dad just can't get enough of her. They think she's the cutest thing in the whole world and, of course, they're right!!!! She just loves to play and will crawl, pull up and play until she drops!

We also think she's so smart. She will work at something until she figures it out.

We just love our Emersyn and are so thankful that Jonathan and Anne Marie are so willing to share her. She is our precious angel!!

Graduated and Grateful!

Our beautiful, wonderful daughter graduated this week from Kennesaw State University, Summa Cum Laude, with a batchelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. Wow! What an accomplishment!! Today we had a fun graduation party with lots of food, family and friends!! Oh, and lots of gifts too!

A Beautiful Mother's Day!

We had the most beautiful Mother's Day today. It was filled with family and that's what makes it so special! We started with a cook out and ended with tons of photos (much to everyone's chagrin). Our Emersyn was so precious! She's getting so big and is learning so many new things every day. She has 3 teeth and stands alone. (Hasn't figured out the walking part yet though).
She's a little copy cat and does some of the cutest things! She is very much loved!!

Here's a photo of four generations of ladies!

And here are the guys.

The original four.


I love my family!!

Last, but never least, our wonderful son-in-law Chad turned 29 on April 18. He's such a sweetheart!!

We just love April Showers of Birthdays!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

Happy Birthday to one of the most beautiful women I know. She's loving, kind, giving, forgiving, all in all a very, very special woman!!! She loves her family, working out in the yard and music, even though she says she can't sing! She loves to play cards, especially Phase 10, and always trys to give you something when you leave!

She is such a good influence for her family and such a wonderful Christian woman who loves the Lord and tries her best to live "His" way!

I love you mom!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Today my sweet daddy turned 89 years old. He has lots of health issues but he's still my daddy and I love him lots and lots!!! Both of my parents have been such a blessing in my life! My brother Greg, gave him two stuffed dogs that represent Greg's dogs Barney and Peanut.

Opening presents!!

Blowing out the candles!

He's probably wondering what all that noise was! It was quite a rousing version of "Happy Birthday"!! I love you daddy!!!!!

I'm Just a Braggin'!

Can't tell you how much we love, love, love our Emersyn! Every time I get a few new pictures I just can't help but share. We had lunch at my mom and dad's yesterday and I just had to share a few pictures of Emersyn. She is such a delight!!! She can totally stare you down as if she is trying to read your mind!! She pulls up on everything and loves to play!

"Clap, clap, clap your hands".
