Picture Update

Our little family has been super busy and there is sooo much to blog about that it overwhelms me, therefore I will blog with pictures. Enjoy! Hughes played in the water feature at Renaissance today! It took him a while to figure it out, but he enjoyed the sparatic water squirts once he warmed up! Speaking of warmed up...It's hot. I mean hot. Kent and I were sweating just standing outside.

Side Note: You know it's hot outside when you get in your car at the end of the day and it reminds you of the one time you got a facial and they steamed your face, and you could feel your nose pores start to open up! Ahhh...nothing like sitting at the wheel of your car, punching the auto air button fast and furious, while you feel the diameter's of your pores open! Believe me, I know this is a grose, sickening, visual...that none of you really wanted to know. But I NEEDED to share this profound observation. Thanks for letting me share:)

Jack and Hughes had a great time in Jack's Red Flyer at the Grooves and Blues festival at the Township. This is a preview of Hughes later in life. Jack will get his first vehicle before Hughes ... and Hughes will be blowing up Jack's cell phone (or whatever our children will use to communicate in 16 years) to come pick him up so he doesn't have to ride with his embarressing mom anymore! :)

Hughes pimpin' his new hat.

Hughes playing at the fountain Sunday afternoon after a good nappy nap!

This was Mother's Day weekend at Grandmother's house. (You know, the one with the jars of pickles where one jar = one bar of pure gold.) She and Granddaddy planted a whole row of cucumbers in their garden so that I can come and learn how to jar pickles...her way...the only way...when they are ready!

This was about 8:00 at night and I heard Mama and Ben snickering in the kitchen. "I wonder what they are doing?" This is the picture I found. Ben was sneaking Hughes his very first cupcake. Hughes loved it! Aaaaahhh HA! so THAT'S why he loves Uncle Ben sooo much!

The daycare had a Mother's Day tea to kick the weekend off. Hughes was walking all over the place! He is so proud of his new walk!

Here we all are with Mama Jean in front of her blooming Mother's Day tree. The tree actually does have a name, but I don't know what it is. All I know is, it blooms every Mother's Day! So, we thought it was appropriate to pose for a photo op in front of the Mother's Day tree!

Hughes was outside one afternoon "working" on his stroller after our little walk around the neightborhood!

Dirty little mouth

In the Dirty South

Dirty little boy

Working on his toys

Dirty little hands

Dirty little feet

....but boy is he so stinkin' sweet!
