~LIFE IS GOOD~
After Russell's graduation we packed up and headed to the river AKA our favorite place to be in the summer time! We stopped at the beach and let Landon have a little fun.

At first he wasnt too sure about having sand between his toes.But he quickly warmed up too the idea :-) Nana trying to stay shaded with her camo umbrella! HAHA I love this picture~Jason and Landon decided to build sand castle'sor should I say Jason built sand castleswhile Landon observedand proceeded to tell Jason
how to actually build it. Bossy kid i tell ya! Ahhh...nothing like good ole river water! Ok scratch that...Ahhh, nothing like being on the river soaking up the sunand enjoying the greatest things in lifewhich just so happens to be....family!

Russell's Graduation Weekend Part I

Warning: Tons of Pictures! :-)

This weekend we took a trip to Columbus, Mississippi to see our favorite little cousin graduate high school. We left out Friday night and stayed until Sunday afternoon. We had an awesome weekend full of fun, food, and laughter :-)

Im pretty sure the smile on his face means he likes it!We had a photo shoot Saturday morning before graduation.I just love this kid (in case you cant tell)!!

I love how the below picture looks like we are some where tropical with the pool shining in the window, but its actually Aunt Mary and Uncle Larry's back porch. Jealous? I know, me too!

My love and me :-) Kelsey and me (I love this girl, too) Russell walking out...New Hope Class of 2010 (195 students)Landon was soooo good during graduation. He clapped, smiled, stuck his tongue out at me, and took a nap. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect little boy! Russell lining up to receive his diploma.The Graduate! :~)Congratulations Russell! We are so very very proud of you, not only for graduating, but for being such a wonderful person. You and your family have truly been a blessing to us! Always make smart decisions and never underestimate yourself! We love you to the moon and back!

What Have We Been Up To?

We have been so busy the past few weekends and even though i am really tired, i wouldn't change a thing! We have been to a birthday party, been shopping with a great friend whom i missed dearly, went to a UFC party, had a wonderful Mother's Day with all the beautiful Mother's in our lives, and this weekend we are headed to Columbus to see my lil (big) cousin graduate high school :-) We are so blessed! Here are a few pics of the past few weekends. Unfortunately I left my camera in my car on Mother's Day, so i don't have any pictures :-( That makes me reallyyyyyyy sad!

Landon's friend, Brayden, had a birthday party a couple of weekends ago.I was a little concerned that Landon would try to take the toys, but the toys never even phased him. He was content with this "Momma's favorite color" balloon. FYI instead of saying pink he says "Momma's favorite color" and instead of saying purple he says "Nana's favorite color" :)"Can I get up now, Mama?" I guess watching another kid open presents isnt exactly what he had in mind!Happy Birthday, Brayden!!!Even though i left my camera in my car, :( I did manage to get a couple pics of Landon before church.Yes, he is playing with jewelry!!When we weren't busy going to birthdays and celebrating Mother's, Landon was occupied with drawing on OUR BEDROOM WALL with a brown crayon! All i have to say is im not sure who invented this, but whoever he is, we owe him alot :-)
