A couple things... again.

1. Judah is growing like a weed. More mentally than physically. He stopped saying otter and now just says water. Pause for crying. Tonight when he went to sleep he said " I love you, mama" not quite that clear, but clear enough to understand. He has said I love you when I told him to, but not on his own. It made me want to do a couple things. Call everyone I know and tell them because I am so proud and sob until I was throwing up, because I got news for ya he ain't a little baby anymore. I still call him a baby and he will always be my baby. I am just trying to wake up and face the facts:) If about now you are praying for my one day daughter in-law don't worry I will never show her this blog. Speaking of...

2. I am thinking about quitting the blogging world. The whole thing kinda stresses me out. I never feel like I do it in a timely manner and they are always sooooo long. Don't hold me to it because I might change my mind, but if it disappears that is why. (Don't worry Aunt Ruth, if I do my last blog will be your b-day tribute:). Speaking of...

3. I need to give a shout out to the beautiful September birthday ladies. A lot of fabulous people were born in September. These may either be a little late or a little early, but either way I love them all a lot!

Judah boo

It's been a while since I have taken pictures of Judah, so took the opportunity of being at Granddaddy Homer's house and having time and space and took a few shots.

I am not sure who likes who more.

But they like each other that is for sure!

He loved Granddaddy's grapes.

Normal people probably wipe there kids faces or DRESS them when taking photos.
Sadly I forgot.

He has to do everything himself.

I think he was annoyed with me being in there.

Just relaxin'

This is the look he gave me when I told him to smile.

I have a cheeseball that is for sure.
His new thing is smooshing his face in between things.

This is another face he has started doing.

Such a ham!

Th is when he met baby Georgia, but look at that cheesy smile!!!
That is what he does when you say show your teeth.

Yet another very old post.

I am super behind. This was some pics we went and took at the beginning of the summer. Jenna wanted some photo's of the girls. I have to say it was very hard to get motivated because it was hot as heck. Between that, crying kids, and dusty dirt I pretty much gave up. Jenna stuck it out and got some cute ones. We also spent an hour at Sonic trying to get drinks. An hour! Sonic is not that good, but we are very determined people. "We" being Nick and Jenna.

Peek-a-boo!

Doing the only thing knows to do when stuck in a field of flowers with a bunch of girls...
Crush the flower.

I got a picture of Jenna! Her back, but it still counts.

Can you say cheese???















Crushing more flowers. I hope that what they say about kids who crush flowers and bugs end up being murderers is wrong, because he does a lot of that.


Is she eating it or smelling it?

Whatever she was doing she didn't like the results.




It's not a party until someone lays on the grown and throws a fit, right?

Sweet Family...

Dave and I had the opportunity to go to Denver, CO by OURSELVES for 8 whole days. Well technically we were not by ourselves. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment with Micah, Cole, and Amy, but we did not have Judah with us. There is no way to tell you all about the trip, so I will just sum it up by telling you some things I learned...

I will never be on one of those adventure shows. For many reasons a couple being I am not very adventurous and I am VERY out of shape.
I like my brothers a little more every time I hang out with them.
Dave and I still laugh at each other a lot and have loads of fun together.
Colorado brews a lot of beer.
There are a lot of parks to play frisbee in.
Micah and Cole like frisbee a lot.
People walk or ride their bikes everywhere.
I don't like walking everywhere.
"I doubt it" is a very fun game.
Cole is not too good at bowling and is also not that great of a sport.
Cole, Micah, Amy, and Dave are all very patient, compassionate people.
4 batches of chocolate no bake cookies calls for 8 cups of sugar.
5 people can easily eat 4 batches of no bake cookies in a couple days.
I am not quite that much of a city girl.
Amy thinks we are in far better shape than we are.
My family is really funny.
There are a lot of really good restaurants there.
People go out there all the time. Even late at night on a weeknight.
The Rocky mountains are as pretty as they say.
8 days is too long to be away from the baby.
It is easier for the baby to be away from you for 8 days then the other way around.
Colorado is too far away and I miss my baby brothers.

One of Micah's many victory dances.

A lot of really tall friends and family

Yummy hamburgers

Some yummy food we ate.

Davey's new BFF

The beautiful Rockies

Frisbee golf

We thought this was really cool, but were later told Elk are like squirrels in CO.

Micah's "creepy" face. Pretty creepy!

Boys are weird!

Sweet siblings

Micah so strong!

Look so natural, doesn't it?
