My 2nd Mother's Day

This year for Mother's Day we went to Winnsboro.  Mom, Dad, and Gigi were all very happy to see us, especially one "little man" in particular.  I am positive that the "squeals" of Mamaw, Papaw, and Caleb could be heard for miles!  On Sunday, we went to church and had planned to go out to eat, but the boys decided that it would be much better if they grilled...I agree...the steaks were wonderful!  While Dad, Josh, and Stephen did the cooking, mom and I played with Caleb and some sidewalk chalk...so much fun!!!  

These two were so happy to see each other!

Me with my munchkin!

Me, mom, and grandma!

Happy Mother's Day Everyone!

A Look Back...

Okay, I know that I said I was going to have this done several weeks ago, but things have been hectic, and I have recently found that moving with a toddler is no easy task.  Lucky for me things have started to settle down and return to normal...well, somewhat normal.  When I began blogging, I decided that I would start by taking a glance back at some of the biggest highlights from the past two years, so now I am finally making that happen and I hope that you enjoy!
Baby makes THREE!
Caleb Keith blessed us with his arrival on September 30, 2006.  This is a picture of his arrival home on October 4, 2006.

My two favorite cowboys!  Caleb got his horse from Uncle Josh, Mamaw, and Papaw for Christmas; he generally has a daily "riding" session and the rest of the time he pulls "Mouse"(named after Little Newt's horse from Lonesome Dove) around by his tail or with his handy rope!
