More Retirement Party....

More pictures of the kids from Dad's retirement party.....

Maggie and Parker at the Party....Did you notice the massive bruise on Parker's forehead? She fell on our hardwood floor the night before and this huge goose egg immediately popped up!!

Parker's First Pigtails...Well, Kinda...

I had to get a picture of Parker's First official pigtails....Well, now I know she's not going to be winning any "pigtail competitions" any time soon, but it's a start...I am just surprised she left them in long enough for me to get a picture of them.

Pack-n-Play Fun...

My kids LOVE to get in the pack-n-play and well, PLAY! One day its a fort, the next day they put ALL the pillows in the house in there and "hide" under them....It's all fun and games for a while, then eventually someone always ends up crying , because in that close of quarters someone's bound to get kicked or hit, etc....They "begged" me to lay Jack in there with them (usually I don't let Jack in there when Parker and Trey are in there because, well, it's just too dangerous for him....) but it was a cute photo opportunity....As you can tell, Trey is all about silly faces for every picture he takes these days.....and Parker thinks she has to say "Cheeeeese" in every picture....

Trey and Isaac

I thought this was a cute picture of Trey and his cousin Isaac Rollins( well, actually Isaac is his 2nd cousin) Anyway, they were playing at Grandaddy's retirement party.....Isaac struck that pose and held it for like 10 minutes while I went and got my camara....too cute!

Hangin' with the boys...

Here's my boys hanging out after bathtime....in the first picture it looks like Jack is saying..."Um, mom, can we wait just ONE second..." Ha!

Jack - 6 months old...Already!

Well, my sweet baby Jack is already 6 months old...We went to the Dr. this morning for his 6 month check up. He weighed 18 lb 8 1/2 ounces (75 %tile) and was 27 1/2 inches tall (75%tile)....he's getting to be such a big boy! He starting sitting up really well on his own about a week ago and continues to love any new cereal foods I give him. His little personality is coming out more and more each day. I will say again....sometimes life's biggest surprises are also God's Greatest Gifts! I can't imagine our family without Jack!

Happy Valentines Day

Jack enjoyed his first Valentines Day....After breakfast we let the kids open their Valentines Surprises. It wasn't much, just a little bit of candy for Parker and Trey....and some teething toys for Jack. I think Jack liked the gift bag better than anything. I tried to get a picture of Parker, but she was too excited about the candy and wouldn't hold still long enough for a quick picture. Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day!

A Rose from Daddy....

TJ brought Parker a single rose home for Valentines...she immediately put it to her nose and took a deep breath, it was the cutest thing! Then she tried to eat it (see below) and then she started picking all the petals off one at a time...We figured its her rose, she can do with as she pleases....

Valentine Parties at School

Parker is ready for school (she kept bringing me the keys, ha) and her Valentines Party....Since I'm Trey's Room mom, I got to go and help with his class Valentines Party....the kids all had a great time!

Giddy Up

Trey and Parker playing around the house...they were having "races" between their horse and dinosaur, although they never moved from that spot. Imaginations are so fun.....and cheap! Ha!

He's Up, Then he's Down....

Just a short video (you'll see why) of Jack practicing sitting up...Trey was laughing hysterically at him in the background....

Just a Swangin

While Parker was taking a nap, Trey and I took Jack out to introduce the swing....and he loved it! We have got so many memories from this swing set...all of my kids have swung in this baby swing and loved it!

Our Little Teddy Bear

Yes, he's so cute, we just want to "eat him up", literally! Ha!....Gran is getting her some Jack luvin' and me and Jack pose for a quick pic on our way to the doctor, again! I think someone in our little family has been sick at any given time since December....I'm ready for some warmer weather and some healthy people! But I did think Jack looked cute in his Teddy Bear sweatsuit with ears!

Ladies Man

Well, this was an attempt to get a picture of Jack learning to sit up. He is so close to having it down pat, he just gets excited and starts waving his arms...then he topples over (like in the bottom picture)....The top picture just cracks me up....he leaned back and actually "posed" for the camera..its like he was saying, "hey ladies..."
