Happy Mother's Day

Happy to Mother's Day to all you mother's and grandmother's out there. We hope you all had a wonderful day. Thank you to our mother's for everything you did for Casey and I growing up. We love you very much. Colt is so lucky to have his Nana and his Gram!!!

I would also like to pay tribute to my Mamaw. Today would have been her 98th birthday. What a great lady she was and I miss her everyday.





Mamaw and I the day I graduated from Auburn.

Colt and Gram

The best present I could have ever recieved. I am truly blessed.

Colt and Momma after church this morning.

Off to church we go

Just a couple of pictures before we went to church last Sunday. Colt had on a new outfit and it was almost 90 degrees here. What a gorgeous day God gave us.

I thought this was cute pic of Colt. Please ignore me and my pregnant self. I am in that in between stage where my regular clothes are getting a little tight, but the maternity clothes are still a little big. I'm sure that will change very soon. I also am in desperate need of a haircut and this was the easiest thing to do at the moment. You can also see our little Tasmanian Devil was already into the toys that early in the morning, so excuse that, too.

Show us your Living Room

Ok, so a blog I'm addicted to now is Kelly's Korner. Every Friday, she is asking people to give a tour of a certain room in their home. Today's was your living room or family room. People are also free to give suggestions if they are asked for. I didn't do the kitchen last week, but if you find the time, go and look at the 300+ kitchens that got posted. I got some really good ideas for ours. Casey and I aren't really in love with our living room and would like it to be bigger. Also, need suggestions for my mantle in the Spring/Summer. I do pretty well in the Fall and Winter. I would like our space to look more inviting. So enjoy and go get some other ideas from other's rooms.

Here is our mantle. Any suggestions on how to spruce it up?

Also need suggestions on what to use to cover this long wall. I'm not really crazy about that picture over the couch, but it works until I find something else.

View looking towards the front door. I love our curio cabinet. It has special things from our wedding in it.

This area has me in a quandry, as well. Not sure what to do here. We have debated hanging the tv on the wall, but haven't gotten around to it, yet.

Happy Birthday, Kansas

Today is our four-legged baby's 4th birthday. It doesn't seem like we have had him that long. Kans has been there through everything. He was the "Man of the House" when Casey had to work in Louisiana for 6 months and he was by my side when we sold our house in Knoxville, had to be out in 2 weeks, stayed with some wonderful friends, and oh, Casey was already here in Wilmington. He kept me company in the apartment on the 3rd floor when we first moved to NC and the doctors put me on bedrest and said no walking. And, he always comes and lays with me at the end of the night when everyone else has gone to bed. What a great pal we have. Happy Birthday, Kansas. We love you.

Looking so mature - he is 28 now.

Are we done, yet?

Baby Update

I had another doctor's visit today. We are now at 16 1/2 weeks. Everything looked good and the doctor told us we didn't have to wait until our next visit in 4 weeks to find out what we are having. So, we are going to find out on May 15th. I will keep everyone updated. Have a great weekend.

Beach Weather

Sunday, we went to the beach for the first time this season since it was in the upper 80's. We got there early, so there was still a nice breeze and not too many people there. The water is still pretty cold, but that didn't stop Colt from taking a few dips in it. When it was time to go, Casey had to carry him back to our things and I could hear him yelling, "No, no, no, no, Da Da!!!!" Luckily, he loves the water and loves being outside. I do have to say a special thank you to Case for playing with him the whole time we were there and letting me get some sun, even if I can only get it on one side, since I can't lay on my stomach. You really are the best, Da Da!!!

Colt running to play with Da Da. He loves Casey so much and I do, too. Case is so good with Colt and we are lucky to have him. Our dads were always there for us and it's good to see Colt's daddy will always be there for him.

Did I mention Colt loved his daddy?!! I will have to post some pictures later of the two of them snuggling on the couch at night. That is Colt, Daddy, and Barney time right before bed. He will not lay 5 minutes with me on the couch, but if it's Daddy, he'll lay for at the very least, 30 minutes. Oh well!!!

Burying himself in the sand.

Late Easter Pictures

These are a little late getting on, but here are some of our Easter pictures. We spent the weekend in Chattanooga and it was nice being home for a while. Luckily, we had good weather on Sunday.

Colt helping me dye eggs. I don't think he was too sure of what was going on. He kept wanting to stick his fingers in the dye.

The finished products. We had lots of plastic eggs, so we only did a few real ones.

He found one!!


Easter family picture. I know black is not a traditional Easter color, but I couldn't really find anything that fit.
