Buckmasters {Not For Me!}

I had my first experience at Buckmasters on Saturday. I can't say that it was the most enjoyable thing I've ever done. I thought I was going to be a sweet wife and try to enjoy something that my husband enjoys... well I think I'll choose something else from now on and let Buckmasters be a "male bonding day"! I don't necessarily consider myself a "girlie girl" but believe me, I was the "girliest girl" I saw there!!! I was definitely out of place!!! I will say they did have some pretty interesting stuff and some gigantic deer! Basically, I spent most of the time entertaining John Luke with the Rhino and 4-Wheelers because there was no possible way to push a stroller around in that crowd! Oh well, I tried. Next year it's all yours honey!!
These are some pictures of John Luke "driving" the Rhino and the 4-wheeler.



And I had to throw this one in... I LOVE THIS FACE!!!

After a million shots...

I finally got a few pictures that might work! Well, here's the deal... I have been working on changing my blog for weeks but I just can't get it like I want it. I looked into having one designed but I decided that it would be a waste of money since our family will be changing and growing, and I like to have a change of scenery often. But I do love all the headers that you all have with the cute pictures of your children but I have one small problem. His name is John Luke! My child does NOT want me to have a cute picture of him! He runs in the opposite direction, or looks the other way right as I snap the picture, or gives me a big frown to let me know he doesn't like this picture taking business, or is just too plain busy to stop and let me get a good one. He has no sympathy for his mama who after an hour is practically in tears begging for a decent picture! Not just for this blog, but to have a good picture of my growing little boy! So anyway, here it is. I downloaded all the other ones so I just put them on here too. To all you who have "models", be thankful for their cooperation!!

Last night John Luke got to play with his cousin Caleb. They were home for a wedding so we went over for a short visit. The boys are about the same height but Caleb outweighs John Luke by about 5 lbs. Maybe that's because he likes to eat and John Luke could careless if he ever ate! We had a good time watching them play together and show us all their tricks.

I sure do miss these two...

A LOT!!! Me and John Luke went to Enterprise today and got to visit with our old friends Ashley and Sawyer. I guess I shouldn't call them "old" friends since we still are friends we just don't get to see them nearly as much as we used to. And that's a BUMMER because we sure do love em'! I just wish they could have stayed around here but at least Enterprise isn't too far away. We had a wonderful time {as usual} and we are looking forward to the next visit!
I took some cute pictures {except that I never can remember to turn on the red-eye reduction} but anyway I couldn't pick which ones to put on here so I decided I'd just make a slideshow. We Love Y'all!

Another Birthday?

Oh Yes! Today is Aunt Amy's birthday! She is 22 years old! Unbelieveable! I sometimes still think of her as that little girl with those big long eyelashes that looked like spider legs, that went around everywhere in her tap shoes and too-too saying "Look at me, Daddy!" She still has those outrageous eyelashes and she still likes to be the center of attention! And believe me, she starts reminding you of her birthday on the 1st day of August and keeps celebrating until the last day of August! So, today we want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT AMY! WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Birthday Celebration

Saturday we celebrated Papa Will's 88th birthday! All of Papa and Granny's family got together at Wayland and Sue's house for lunch. And boy did we have some good southern home cookin'! My favorite!! I was able to get a few pictures of John Luke with Papa and Granny. Not an easy task with a 15 month old going on full blast at ALL times! Happy Birthday Papa!




John Luke with his Grammie

This week, John and I have really realized just how much John Luke is growing. It seems like yesterday I was in the hospital {for the 2nd time, and after 22 hours of labor, with two unsuccessful epidurals}, praying that God would PLEASE remove this child from my body! At that time I would never have imagined I could ever get to the point that I could say I would do it over again in a heartbeat. I guess that's one of the amazing things God designed in a mother. I truly know what unconditional love is now. I would do it over everyday from here on out to have this precious little man God has blessed us with.
So...anyway, I wanted to share some most recent pictures of our RAPIDLY growing sweet man!
