Going Fishing!
Wading in the pool with Libby!
A happy smiling Lucy is such a sweet blessing. Believe it or not but when she has been well-fed, I can say "cheese" and she will smile. Crazy....but it tends to work. I can't get enough photos of this precious baby and she doesn't seem to mind!!
My two sons are also super sweet....not only to me but to each other. This is such a neat thing to see. Here they are actually coloring together. Of course I had to take a photo to capture the moment. They even posed for me. I love my job! Thank you, Lord.
My boys surprised me this morning with sweet cards and fun gifts.
Here are my sweet children. I am so blessed indeed!!
After church on Mother's Day, we decided to drive to Mississippi to see Al's mom for Mother's Day.
On Monday we went to lunch at Chuck E. Cheese before heading back home to Kentucky. It was a fun visit.
Luke loved being an AWANA Cubbie. Here he is singing with his fellow Cubbies, Leaders & LITs.
Luke received the first book award for reciting all 30 or so verses in his handbook. He was so excited to receive the Cubbie bear to signify this accomplishment.
Here is Luke with his Cubbie small group leaders--Mrs. Julie, Miss Tyler & Mrs. Ashley.
Al and the boys were doing some yard work and found a frog. Luke instantly took him on as his new pet. He named him "Bud the Frog."
Poor Bud was captured by a preschooler for the entire Saturday morning.
He tried to jump to freedom but this three year old boy would not settle for that!!
We heard the circus was coming to town (actually to the RSEC at Murray Sate) so we got tickets to see the Greatest Show on Earth! We had great seats--We are on the front row of the chair seats pretty much right in front of the action. You can see the row of folding chairs in front of us....these stayed empty the entire time.
My favorite photos were the ones that I could capture of my boys. Their eyes were glued to the circus ring for just about the entire two hours!! Priceless expressions from their first Ringing Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus.
And my sweet baby girl rested peacefully in Aunt Stephanie & Mommy's arms. The noise didn't seem to bother her a bit!!
There's nothing much sweeter than this!! I love my boys. They are not only sweet to me but they are so sweet to each other. Of course they have their moments....but they are just crazy about each other!! Aunt Stephanie and the Chandler clan decided to go to Belew's in Aurora on thier opening day of the season to eat their yummy hamburgers and their delicious ice cream. Needless to say, none of us had trouble cleaning our plates!!! Aunt Stephanie treated all of us to ice cream!! There is something that is sweeter than ice cream....Aunt Stephanie!
Although my boys are a lot alike, they are still very unique. One of those unique qualities is how they enjoy their food. My precious John David digs right in whether he has a fork or a spoon. He is a firm beliver in the saying, "Finger lickin' good!" John David doesn't ever have to tell you what he had for a meal.....because he is usually wearing it on his bib, face and sometimes his hair!! He better not ever try to sneak a cookie!!
Luke on the other hand is a very neat eater. He does not like to get messy and therefore always wants to use a spoon or a fork. When he finishes his food, Luke most always has a pretty clean face. These are some photos of the boys enjoying cupcakes at their friend Ashley's birthday party.
Lucy seems to enjoy taking a bath. She doesn't make a noise.
Her brothers enjoyed helping me give her a bath.
There's nothing much cuter than a baby wrapped up in a hooded towel!! Notice the Duck slippers. The boys hardly wore them because I never could get them on their feet very easily. Thankfully, Lucy has slender feet and fit easily into the slippers!!
