18 months Old...

Buggy is a year and a half! I can't believe it!

He had his check up Friday and only one shot and the BEST news is that's IT with the shots till He's FOUR!!!! YIPPEE!

I don't know his stats... I wasn't there on the weigh in and measuring, his daddy was - best he can remember 28lbs and 35 in tall.

Doctor didn't give me his info on the growth chart... that was probably cause he was SCREAMING ((cause someone thought it would be a GOOD idea for them to do his shots BEFORE the doctor seen him... needless to say it was down hill from there))

Anyhoo, yet again she confirmed what we already know, his perfect!

Here are some picture from today - we went to a birthday part...

The one of me((aka mawmaw- that's how he says it...)) and buggie is one of MAYBE five of us.... ((that is stretching it!))

Treat, little ones?

I have stumbled upon some tasty and HEALTH treats for my little one. Just thought I would pass on the new (well new to me) info...

These are just like gold fish but All-Natural AND Organic... I don't really see the need to feed Athen "junk" so I try and feed him as healthy as possible (yeah yeah I know " do as I say not as I do...")

Anyhoo, thought it was worth mentioning...

You can get this at Wal-Mart. They also have cholcolate cookie bunnies.... here is there website ((they are WAY cheaper at Wal-Mart than on their website...))

power of prayer....

... could be! Kevin received so encouraging news today. The doctor office that he interviewed with was very much impressed with him and has intentions on hiring him. They are bring in all new digital equipment and is going to a take some time to make the transition. So it maybe middle to late next week before he knows anything FOR SURE…. But hey, that’s a step in the right direction…
Keep those prayers coming, its getting HOT out there…

per a request...

No news is NOT good news... whomever said that was an idiot!
Have not heard either way on the job prospect for Kevin. He SHOULD hear something by the end of the week...
Today with the temp topping out at over 90 degrees Kevin is SOOOO done with construction. Yeah, it isnt even "hot" yet...

So thats it... OHHH and a BIG pat on the back to Bev for learning how to use a computer!!!
I am going to come and see you soon Bev, may need to borrow your pool and teach Buggy how to swim.. *kisses*

One last thing, for those who aren't keeping track - Buggy turned 18 months old yesterday!!!! I took a picture of him, but it was while he was sleeping, only took it so I would have one on the day the turned 1 1/2 years old.

Weekend Recap

So as you know ((read below)) that Saturday marked the FIFTH year of our wedding, shocker - I know =)
Anyhoo, come Friday about 5:30ish we headed south for a long weekend, Just the two of us...
Got to our Hotel about 10ish, checked in, checked the place out and off to bed. At the CRACK of dawn Kevin was up and ready to hit the water... so we fished all day ((Kevin "won", he did catch the most)) then we went out to a nice dinner ((THANKS Grandma!)) and hit the hay... Sunday was a repeat of the day before. We were to stay on till Monday but we missed Buggy SOOO much that we came home late Sunday night so we could see him bright and early Monday morning...
We got up and got Buggy, then Nikki, Eric ((SOOOO glad you are home Eric!)), and Jett went to Wild Adventures to the water park... I for one have had enough "fun in the sun" to last me for some time...

Today Mrs Carolyn was closed ((day care)) so a HUGE THANK YOU to Mrs Beth and Mr Bill Newcomb ((now known as grandma and grandpa to Athen)) for keeping Athen today. Bug LOVED them, which if you know him you would know is a HUGE deal cause the does NOT like strangers... I am pretty sure they are drawing up the adoption papers to be his new grandparents... =)
Thanks again!!

Memory Lane: OPEN

Come this Saturday it will be FIVE years that Kevin and I have been married... WOW! Time flies! I don't feel 25 years old, I don't feel like I have been married for 5 years nor do I feel like I am old enough to have a 18 month old....

It has been five wonderful years... ((luckily I really don't have the best memory and seems that only the "good ones" stick....))

Kevin is such a wonderful husband and father... I couldn't have asked for better. God has truly blessed me and my family. Kevin is a wonderful asset to our family.

((I am SURE it goes without saying - but I will anyway - that I am a wonderful wife, just ask Kevin))

This weekend for our anniversary we are going fishing - where we went on our honeymoon (just let again prof that I am a great wife= ))

We are staying in St. Augustine, we are very excited! Thanks to Grammie, Papa, Aunt Nikki, Uncle Eric, and Aunt Sherry for watching Buggy for us. We know he will be well taken care of!

Wish Kevin luck on beating me in fishing - he's going to need it! ((I whooped him last time 8 to 4!!))

WA Weekend!

Not only did we hit Wild Adventures Saturday but we also went back again on Sunday to the water park...

Grammie, Nikki, Jett, Bug, and I set out Saturday morning to go to Wild Adventures - and that it was... We went for the purpose of seeing a play that was going on there for one day only. Well it was OVER Bug's head and Jett was afraid that if he stayed in there when he got out it would be "dark time" (aka night) and he wouldn't get to play... so playing win out of the play.

Here's some pictures of Grammie and the boys....

While we were there Saturday, we went to LOOK at the water park cause none of us had ever seen it... well someone should have told us that it was NOT a good idea to take a five year old to a water park and tell him he could NOT get in... we weren't prepared for any WATER fun...

Thus the trip BACK on Sunday which turned out to be nice cause there were lots less people there...

Jett had to "warm up" to the water ((in more ways than one - it was FREEZING))

Bug also had to warm up to it... he's wasn't "all about it" too many big kids for him...

Here are some pictures of our first ((of many I am SURE)) trips to the water park....

Newest toy...

Here is a picture of Kevin's boat that he just HAD to have.... =)

For those that are keeping track, yes- that is a NEW 4wheeler, truck and boat in the last year...

YES, I am a great wife!!!

any direct lines...?

Kevin has a 2nd interview tomorrow... please pray that if its God's will that he will get a job.

Job Update...

...or not, there's no "news" to tell... and in this case no news is NOT good news... =(

ps... I am NOT above begging, if anyone knows of a job, let me know =)

say a little prayer...

Kevin has a job interview tomorrow, any prayers sent up on his behalf would be greatly appreciated!

Happy Mothers Day!

Boy have I had a GREAT mothers day.... (or should I say week) My Mothers Day gift was the BEST EVER - Kevin had a cleaning lady come and have the whole house cleaned, top to bottom! ((Really, could you ask for a better gift?)) If that wasn't enough, on Friday I was surprised at work with some BEAUTIFUL flowers from Kevin and Bug.... and then today I got breakfast in bed that Kevin made ((it was REALLY good too)) pancakes, bacon and juice. Then after Church I got to do whatever I wanted... which was NOTHING! I laid in bed and caught up on my shows.... it was WONDERFUL.

THANKS BABY!

Here are some pictures of Bug playing in the water.... and my flowers....

Also what to say THANKS to MY mom, if you know her, you love her. You can't help it. She's an AMAZING person! She has touched countless lives. I often tell her (but not often enough) that if I could ever become half the woman she is, I could concur the world... Not only is she such an amazing mom (to both Kevin and I) she's a great and loving wife, sister, daughter, grammie, and friend...

WE LOVE YOU GRAMMIE!

(this was the most recent picture I had of the three of us...)

TWINS!!

Kevin gave birth over the weekend... not one but TWO kidney stones.... So proud! =)

Pretty?

What do you do to entertain your child in church...?

Let him play with your make-up!

Pictures and such...

Here are some snap shots of Bug around the house....


As far as "the wonderful world of Athen" goes... His walking has improve 100% since he has had his tubes put in. He's talking... well.... not so much. Its better, but not "great" most of the things he says you wouldn't know what he was saying if you didn't know what he wanted.... most of his "words" are just the first few letters of what he want... "c-a" for "cup" "pi" for "pacie" "bi" for "bite" and "mo" for "more"... but he can say "BYE" no problem... He's too cute!


Kevin still doesn't have a radiology job... =( AND he has a kidney stone, has had it since Saturday Morning... we have already been the ER, doctor's office, Smith Northview for x-rays and back to doctors office... ((and that was all by Monday at 5pm))


As for me, I am just peachy!! Planning our anniversary trip ((is the big F-I-V-E year one!))


That's about all... enjoy the pictures of my buggie-boo
