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!!!

Happy Birthday Anna and Hayden!!!

Two of my best friends have welcomed new babies!! Anna Peters arrived Friday April 4. She is little sister to McKenzie and seems to be doing well. She has not seen her Aunt Tiffany or her buddy, Connor but I think she plans to visit soon.I love this sweet picture with her momma Shonda
This hansome little devil is Hayden Eubank. Mom and dad are Aimee and Allen.He arrived (LATE) on March 28th. I got to see him on a short little overnight visit but I got plenty of cuddle time with him. He made me want another!!! Next year!!! He is letting his mom and dad sleep just a little bit so his dad has not updated his blog. You can see beautiful photos of him at
www.mandyjohnsonphotography.com
click on her blog site and scroll down until you see "lil H"



Oh Aunt Tiffany you are so warm

Of course, what kind of blog post would this be without some Connor. Here he is sporting his Red Sox hat and shirt and showing the other kids how to climb on other people's furniture. That is Josh standing next to him trying to show him how to box!!

Maybe a little redneck with the hat backwards but really- we live in East Tennessee!!

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
