Fun Fest comes to an end

We enjoyed the last day of Fun Fest waking up very early to watch the balloons. This was definitely Connor's favorite event of the week (he didn't attend beer or wine tasting like Mom and Dad:)It was also our favorite event because he liked it so much!!!Afterwards we went to Paulette's where he played in the hammock.. Until next year Festus...Dad- look!!

It's Fun Fest Time!!

It's been a while since my last post. Without a camera I find that blogging just isn't as much fun. If you are from KPT you know that Fun Fest is here!! I love it and I hope that Connor grows to love it too. This year the Miss KPT pageant will be after Festus so Connor and I got to meet the girls for the first time at the Fun Fest parade. Personally, I think I could pass for a 21 year old...Ha Ha!! Tour De Possum is a Fun Fest event that takes place in Yuma, VA. They pass right by the farm so we set up lawn chairs and cheer them on. They had three groups this year for the 42 mile ride. Connor clapped for everyone that he saw.


Papaw's new sign...

I think this is a beautiful picture. It shows just how pretty the farm is. We had rain recently so everything is green again.

Lorraine had personal transportation down to see the bikes

Kyle and Connor enjoyed from the golf cart

Blogging slacker

I am a blogging slacker. I plan to upload photos from this weekend. I promise. I have been busy with work and school. Since our camera broke we have had to rely on others for photo opps.
I do have one question for all of those blogging moms out there....Are you scrapbooking as well? I would love to hear from everyone. I am still working on Connor's first year scrapbook. Blogging is just so much easier.....Happy 4th of July!!!

Kissing Anna Peters

Allright Romeo!!It is best to look at these photos from the bottom up. So go there and I will give you the play by play.Ahhh. My sweet baby boy... Lovin the ladies
Ok kid- just kiss her already.

Ok- so Nicole was trying to hold Anna and Connor intervened. You can tell she is not happy!!

Ok. I'll give her a little kiss

Ohh. What's the big deal about these little babies?

Nope, Not gonna let Gigi hold her either (Anna looks like she is trying to get our of her arms).

I should have learned in Pawley's island that Connor is not ready for a brother or sister. He becomes very upset if I hold another baby. He wants me to put it down and hold him. I thought I had gotten away with a little sweet Anna time when Connor suddenly appeared and was ready to put her in the floor.

Home Improvements

We've had such a beautiful spring. My darling husband has been hard at work to get our house looking great. Last weekend we planted ( Iactually planted the flowers) and this weekend Kyle, Bruce (papaw) and Wallace put up a much needed fence around the retaining wall.

I am proud of my front door. Aunt Jeannie helped me pick out the flowers! Thanks!This is a photo of our lantana in the planter box overlooking our yard. We have a really nice view and we are such a patriotic family!
Kyle and I have worried that Connor will get wild and fall off the retaining wall (or try to climb it). So this weekend a fence was built and I think it looks beautiful. It really added to the house.

Our front porch rocking chairs. These were my grandparents. Connor has his own rocker too.

I have hanging baskets on each end of the front porch too.

Pawley's Island 2008

Finally!! Beach pictures. Since the camera tragedy I have had to be patient with my downloading abilities. We had the best vacation. We all relaxed and enjoyed the fine hospitality at Club Blount. Reagan and I have vacationed together since we were infants. We would take turns going to the Mississippi river area and they would come to the Tennessee lakes. Reagan and I decided to vacation in different areas- our first was Pawley's Island, SC. Aimee, Allen, and Hayden Eubank were staying there too. We really appreciated the hospitality from Mr. and Mrs. Blount.

Connor and Avery lovin on each other. What a little romeo!The house we stayed in. Our rooms were on the bottom floor- Ocean view and access. It was rough but we managed it!!Tennessea is the formal name of the house but it will always be "Club Blount" to me.
Hayden Eubank just taking it easy on the beach

Connor loved the water after the first day

The Sipe Family

Reagan and Miss Avery

The Sandeater

Oh No!!!

This is the reaction that Connor and Avery had when I told them my camera was officially broken!! We were on our 1st full day of vacation when I put the camera in my beach bag with Connor's water bottle. The Nuby leaked (shocker- I am not a fan of those toddler cups) and it ruined my camera.The warranty just expired and I had to buy a disposable camera (yes, they still make them for people like me). The Eubank's and the Suhor's camera survived but it takes a while to upload the pics so I will work on that this weekend so that all of you can see how much we enjoyed Pawley's Island. It was the best vacation we've been on since our honeymoon. Connor loved the sand- mostly he liked to eat it. Avery was really puzzled by his actions!!

I get hair gel....

So when I was deciding what to name this post the first thing that popped into my head was hair gel!! No need to name it Mother's day. Momma's with girls get hair bows and we momma's of little boys get hair gel!!!!We took Connor for a hair cut and asked for it to be short so that we could spike it. We need to return because he has a little feauhawk. I will try to get a photo of that to post!! I had a wonderful Mother's day- thanks Connor and Maggie for the gift card (daddy too:))My two favorite men
Connor at Rachaels wedding. He kept pointing at the "horsey"

Seersucker shorts!!!

"That's right I wear seersucker"

"Mom- you want me to sit down?"Not a chance- I can climb on these chairs!!"

Racheal and John's beautiful outdoor ceremony. She and I are in graduate school together.

Me and Connor with Mammaw on Mother's Day

Mother's Day

Connor feeding the fish at Jeannie and Roger's house. There is a cover over their beautiful fish pond because a blue heron was just picking fish out for lunch one day. I let everyone know that I am recording so that it will be a G rated video!!!

It's Spring time in Tennessee!!

Spring is finally here. Kyle has Connor working on the yard. Right now he prefers the cement. It is easier to maneuver his mower. He loves being outside. We are so glad that it is warming up so we can get outside.
One of his favorite places to visit is Horseshoe Bend Farm. Since he is the heir of the farm it makes since that he learn to like cows. As soon as he sees them he starts to Moo....he always waves bye bye to them too!!He loves to climb as evidenced by the fence climbing he did yesterday.

Saying Mooo

this looks like it would be fun to climb

New tricycle,rocking chair,push toy that his papaw and gigi got him

Gigi getting a workout

My camera was losing battery in this video. It is really sweet. Kyle asks Connor to come over for a hug. He does then at the end he is blowing kisses to me!!!
