Hey!

Hope you guys are enjoying this warm weather! We are so excited about this coming summer! We have been going to the lake just about every weekend and Laker loves it. He probably thinks he is still in a BIG bathtub. Ha. We were afraid that he would be terrified of it but we were wrong.... He threw a fit when we put him back in the boat... he just loves WATER!!
We bought him a turtle sandbox and he loves to get in and play with the sand. He don't mind to get dirty... he is a boy all the way!

cool dude

I'm swimming in a BIG bathtub... should have brought the rubber duck with us.

Trying to get him learn how to swim

Family :-)

Ryan & Toby (for your info - this huge tube spins around and can make you dizzy)

So precious. He fell asleep while riding the boat (sorry, I don't know how to switch the picture around)

I love this boy

Smile baby Laker

Come on Toby..........

The guys making sure that Toby is ready to wakeboard.

I love this face

He likes to put his feet in the water (this pic was his first time that he ever tried the lake out)

I could not resist this!!
He is dreaming BIG... LOL

Have a GREAT summer!

Happy 4th of July as well......

God Bless!

My heart goes out to the Kaleb Smith's family.

It is so sad that a 7 year old life was cut so short.

***Donations accepted at any First National Bank Branch.***

Also, another 6 year old boy who was also in the SAME class with Kaleb Smith, Sedryc Simmons was hit by a car walking to his school bus (that is what I have been told) and was airlifted to Erlanger.

Today is such a SAD DAY...........

~Easter~

2009-04-13T15:24:00.047-05:00

*Easter pics*
We went to my grandparents house after church on Easter. We had good lunch and then afterwards all the kids got to go outside to hunt the eggs. Lake had so much fun. I think he knows what was going on. Of course, I had to help him but it was so much fun! Most of the time when he picked up the eggs, he would sit on the grass. Hope you guys had a wonderful Easter!

cousin Blayton giving Lake some love... Sooo cute!!!

My heart goes out to the Dan Miller's family.

I was shocked when I heard this sad news this morning on the television.

Channel 4 News will never be the same without him!!!

I have always watched Channel 4 News ever since I was a little girl!

Laker's 1st Birthday Party

2009-01-21T15:11:00.027-06:00

Few pictures from Laker's 1st Birthday Party over the weekend. He had so much FUN and it was interesting to see what his reaction was. The birthday theme was a rubber-ducky. He loves for all of us to sing "Happy Birthday" to him. We have been singing it to him all last week. He loves to be sung! Here are few pics from that night! I tried to take pictures of everyone but I didn't... it was a busy night. Thanks to all who helped make Laker his BIG FIRST BIRTHDAY!

Great-Grandpa swinging me

Birthday Boy

I have to eat my supper before I can eat my cake

Grandpa Terry and Laker

I LOVE IT WHEN THEY SING "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" TO ME!!!

I am thirsty for my whole milk... I am doing better in my sippy cup... YAY!

What in the world is that?! My very FIRST cake ever!

Ok, I'll try this & figure out what it is.

Here we go!!

This is not too bad!!!!

Loves to play with it

All he does it play with it. He barely ate it.

It tastes pretty good.

Finally New Updates

2009-01-13T11:37:00.010-06:00

I am sorry it took me so long to update! It's been crazy few weeks with the holidays and everything! Lake is getting into everything, I mean EVERYTHING that he can find and he keeps us busy 24/7! But hey, it's worth it! He is learning so fast and sad to say that he will be a year old Friday the 16th! I keep telling him that he needs to slow down. Ha. He loves for us to sing "Happy Birthday" to him. He just claps with his hands...so cute! His birthday theme is a rubber-ducky! He loves to play with the rubber-ducky in the bathtub so I thought it will be a perfect birthday theme. I will be sure to post some pictures of his birthday parties over the weekend. We will have 2 different parties for him Friday night and Saturday! On the other note, he will be walking one of these days... he can stand up on his own but can't keep his balance long enough yet. He is working so hard on it. He still only have 2 teeth and I am so anxious for more teeth to come... I just think he looks so cute with only 2 teeth when he smiles. He can eat anything that he can find. He loves table food more than his baby food! He is a pig eater but the main thing that he won't drink of his sippy cup either (I am sure some of your children went thru the same thing as mine did). We are going to try our best to take his bottles away from him real soon. Do you guys give babies formula after they are a year old? I need some advise!

Do you guys want our Siberian Husky dog? She is about 5 years old and had all of her shots. We are trying to find her a good home. She needs freedom. I hate to see her being so lonely in the backyard in our private fence where she can't see what's going on. Please feel free if you want her or have any questions.... She's FREE!!!

I need a much needed vacation! Can't wait for the beach and outdoors stuff... Come on SUMMER... Anyway, I apologize for not blogging much like I should be. Have a great week!

Happy Birthday to my precious Lake!! We LOVE YOU dearly!!!

Happy New Year!

2008-12-31T13:45:00.003-06:00

HAVE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Sad

2008-12-19T21:44:00.003-06:00

My heart goes out to the Kirby's family. Deanna Kirby got killed in a car wreck last night in Woodbury. Her husband is Eddie Kirby and they have a son, Matt Kirby who is married to Stacy Acker. This is so sad because Christmas is around the corner.

Laker "The Eskimo"

2008-11-17T17:29:00.005-06:00

I have to brag about my Laker. If you are a mommy, I am sure you know what I am talking about! This morning, it was SOOOO cold outside and Laker needs to wear his BIG coat today. He has been wearing jacket but nothing like this BIG coat. It was his first time to wear something so HUGE. His daddy put it on for me and then he put him in his car seat... well, he was stuck and could not move and we could not buckle him so we had to loose his straps. It was soo funny. We laughed so hard and Laker laughed with us. I just though I'd pass this cute pic from this morning! Stay Warm and Happy Tuesday!

Halloween pictures

2008-11-09T11:15:00.015-06:00

I know I am late putting up Halloween pictures. It's been a busy week. Laker had a great time on Halloween. He had his first Halloween party at the daycare and I am sure he does not understand what is going on yet. He was a money bag and he was so cute & adorable! Blake said that someone will probably steal the money bag. But everybody wanted to hold him and pinch him because he was so cute! His 2nd cousin, Ben was a ghost and he just loves to play with Laker on the floor. They had a ball!! I think they will be the best buddies ever!! And his other 2nd cousin, Blayton was a Humpty Dumpty and I love the way he put his hands in his pockets.

Anyway, on the other hand, Laker had his 9 months checkup and he weights 19.8 lbs. (Big Boy!) Thank goodness he didn't have to have his shots this time. Well, hope you guys have a great week. I'll try to do better on posting this blog.

Happy Halloween!

2008-10-31T12:19:00.002-05:00

Happy Halloween everyone!!

I will be sure to post some pictures this weekend. I hope everyone have a safe holiday! We are going to trick-n-treating at our families houses. Laker can not have candy right now but they will put toys in his Halloween bag. Hope no-one will roll our yard..LOL Have a safe night!

Laker on daddy's bike

2008-10-23T12:03:00.012-05:00

Blake wants me to post few pictures of our son on his bike. It looks like Laker is ready to go for a ride! He turned 9 months old on the 16th! He is growing like a weed --- he can say da-da-da and ma-ma-ma... so cute! He is still learning how to crawl. He pretty much rock back and forth with his knees right now. We are trying to teach him to move his legs. He loves to get on his walker... he is so fast in that thing when he is following us. Our little shih-tzu Gizmo is terrified of the walker... I guess he thinks he is going to get run over. Ha.

I can not wait til next Friday for Halloween! I am so excited about going trick-n-treating... it will be fun! Have a great weekend!

Titans vs. Houston Game

2008-10-20T21:17:00.013-05:00

We all 4 of us (Toby, Stevie, Blake and I) went to the Titans game few weeks ago against Houston, Texans and we beat them 31 to 12 !!!! It was so much fun even tho it was so humid. I would love to go back again but not this year since we have a baby and we can't go every weekend without him. When he gets older, he'll be able to go with us! Toby, I hope you guys get to go to this MNF (Monday Night Football) this coming Monday against the Colts in Nashville! I am jealous! J/K! Scoreboard -- we were so close to the scoreboard

Us posing for our pictures....LOL

Fall Creek Falls

2008-09-01T08:41:00.008-05:00

We went to Fall Creek Falls about 2 weeks ago for my husband's family reunion. It was nice to see everyone again. We ate good meals and then afterwards several people went swimming. We went along with them. We had to walk down the deep hill and it was hard because both of our hands were full with baby stuff and we took turns carrying Laker down. I didn't get in the water.... the water was like ice. My husband wanted to put our Laker in his float but he didn't like the water at all. It was too cold for him. But it was a fun day! Here are few pictures for that day.

Mother-In-Law, Tamela

Pics from over the weekend!

What a face of my baby Laker!

This is Laker's first time in the swimming pool and he seems to LOVE it!!!

Yeah... I think he likes to be in the pool.

He is probably thinking... am I in the bathtub or what... ha

Laker is smiling at cousin Ben

I love his sweet smile

Looks like he is focusing hard... ha

This was at Ben Elrod's 3rd birthday party

*I know you guys are thinking.... why he does not have his swimming suits on but I didn't know that they were having swimming pool out for the kids so I had to leave the diaper on.*
