Fun with the Potter's

This weekend we had a family sleepover at the Potter's. We had a great time and Connor really enjoyed Layney's toys. I had the pleasure of putting barrett's in Layney's hair. I am now in the process of looking for bigger bows!!!She loves necklaces and is such a girly girl. Connor is all boy- he wouldn't wear the necklace and just kept climbing on her toys while she stared at him like "you silly boy". I am sure that is not the last time she will think that!!Miss Lisa bought Layney a bubble maker too
Kyle enjoyed Layney's necklaces and toys....hmmm


Justin got us playing with bubbles.

The last video is pretty funny. Layney is looking at Connor like "what on earth is that silly boy doing" then she moves into his line of fire!!Sorry Layney and Wanda Pot!!

Easter Weekend

Let me just start out by saying that Connor needed a haircut prior to such a big picture taking weekend.However he was still so cute and had a great 2nd Easter. It was warm on Saturday but a little chilly on Sunday. Going for an egg

Papaw and Gigi


Getting ready for Saturday's Easter Egg Hunt


Lost 11 pounds on Weight Watchers so far.
So proud- it makes starving worth it!
I wanted this photo to show off my new wind chime too!!





After Connor's first Chocolate Easter bunny from the Ole Smoky Candy Kitchen




Getting his Easter basket. Of course he got some bubbles( in his right hand)






Love this photo. Spring is near


























Jumpin with my friends










Getting a head start on hanging out with the pretty ladies.
Look at all the BOWS!!!!
Future AOII's, Phi Mu's and Tri- Delt's













Bubble time!!

Quite possibly the best purchase I have made in a while(besides great deals on Connor's clothes) is the Bubble Maker. The boy loves bubbles!!!I forgot how fun they were. He get's bubbles in his treat bags from school so I thought he should have an automatic bubble maker for the bath tub!! You can get one at Babies R Us!

Some funny bath photos

Looks like he is thinking about something....bubbles?




Hey Mom!! You better not show this photo to my first girlfriend!!I look a little freaked out- swallowed some bubbles!!






New Walking Shoes

These shoes were made for walking and that's what there gonna do. These shoes were made for walking unless I can grab a hold of the velcro and rip them off!!
I finally graduated Connor from the Robeez to hard sole shoes. I knew that he could not make another trip to Nashville in soft sole shoes( Cari and Anne will get that:)).
He seems to like his new shoes especially the sound the velcro makes when you take them off!!

St. Pattty's Day

For St. Patrick's Day Connor got all "greened up" but wasn't so happy that I took his pacifier away to take the photo. Bad blogging on my part
This is how I found him when I was trying to put on his clothes


Helping with the dishes









Fake smile for the camera




Bath Time














Mom and Dad after a LONG day of NASCAR

A Blogger Obsessed!!

The Sipes are getting ready for baseball season. If we can get the Tennessee basketball teams to the final four then we know we will be closer to RED SOX season. Connor is a card-carrying member of the Nation at the ripe old age of 1. This is his first Red Sox hat. He is getting used to the idea but would prefer the pacifier over any other item- including clothes.
Recently I found blogs for some high school and Phi Mu friends. We all have kiddos (some more on the way) and it has been so much fun to check them out. I am obsessed- it is hard to do homework when I need to see what everyone else is doing....
Buy him tons of toys and he prefers the trashcan

The Potter family

"It's water come on try it!" Layney looking so cute..



The annual Jaycees Gatlinburg Retreat. This is Johnathan welcoming us and going over the itinerary. We all got "layed" on arrival to the hospitality suite.




The Linns
( Sarah is in the background. She has lived in the Tri-Cities for 5 years and never been to Pal's -I really cannot believe it!!!)





It is a ritual that the Jaycees go to the Calhouns Bar to watch for wedding parties across the street. This year we were so lucky as to have a wedding reception in the bar during our happy hour. I couldn't help it I had to take a photo. They were cutting the cake as we ate wings and onion loaf. I hope they are as happy as me and my hubby.....
