Father's Day


My extremely good looking husband and my adorable baby boy....who looks just like his daddy!

Father's Day was a blast. It was really fun to celebrate Rusty and his being a dad. He won the youngest father award in church and he was very happy about that. We started the day off by going to church and later eating with my dad. We then went home for a quick nap and up again to a birthday party where we celebrated Riley's birthday and father's day with all of Rusty's brothers and dad. We got home late and Jameson was pooped. We had a really good day and I am so glad that we got to celebrate it this year!

On Saturday, we were able to take Jameson to the "big boy pool" over at Gi Gi's house. He looked adorable in his trunks and muscle shirt. He also had some sunglasses and a hat but would have nothing to do with them. He absolutely LOVED the pool. He sat in his float for a while but realized he could splash more if me or Rusty held him. So the float got pushed to the side and Jameson had to be in the water to splash. He was so cute. Of course I got my camera out to take pictures and the battery was dead. Luckily Gi Gi was there to the rescue and took some shots, but I don't have them to share with you. Just trust me, he was so cute. It was incredibly hot, but we got in some much needed family time.

Hope everyone is well and having a great summer. Thanks for reading.

My baby is growing up

I think Jameson is growing by the day now. I swear he is heavier in the mornings when I get him up than he is when I lay him down. He is getting into so much now and is a mess. He loves going outside. All the windows I put in my house are coming back to haunt me now. He crawls over to them and points and says, "sssssssssss". I think he is trying to say "outside". I don't know what he is saying, I just know it is cute.

I bought Jameson a float for the pool a few weeks ago. Rusty's parents have a pool and they just happen to be our neighbors. How convenient is that????? Anyway, I am so excited to put him in the big pool, but the weather hasn't really been cooperating lately. I went ahead and blew up his float and put it in the floor. His eyes lit up the minute he saw it. He crawled over to it and sat right in it. It was so funny to watch. For about an hour he would crawl in.....and crawl out. ....crawl in......crawl out. Every time he would get out of it, he would look at it and smile. When he would get in it, he would look at me and smile.







I am also happy and sad to report that he took his first steps last night. For a week or so now, he will let go of things and kind of step toward me, but last night he let go and walked about 6 steps before falling. Me and Rusty were so excited and started clapping for him and he looked at us like we were crazy. He is going to walk any day now and it makes my heart happy and sad. I am happy because he is growing and developing, but sad because he is getting so big so fast. His birthday is in about 6 weeks and I can't believe it. My baby will be 1!


He actually had bubbles on his chin that looked like he had a beard. It was really funny, but you can't tell in the picture. It is still a really cute picture and I had to share it.

Everyone else is doing well. We are just still busy. Softball, aerobics, work outs, work, parenting (my favorite), finding time to cut grass (Russ's favorite) and lots more. I love my life and my family. Thanks for reading and thank you to my faithful readers who left me comments! Keep reading!

Wacky Wednesday

It is really not all that wacky, I just wanted something that rhymed. :) Nothing much is going on right now. I am just running in all different directions. I am bound and determined to tone up for the summer. I don't like the way I look and I still have that little baby pooch that is driving me insane! Anyway, I have started an aerobics class three days a week...which we hardly meet that often..gurr. I have also been working out during lunch at the Wellborn Gym with my gorgeous husband. He motivates me to get muscles. Thanks sweet! I am also playing church league softball. We had our first game Monday night and it was so much fun. So between all the exercising I am also working, cooking, cleaning and trying my very best to be a good mom. Have I mentioned to you guys lately that I LOVE being a mom. Jameson brings me so much pride and joy! He is getting cuter by the day. His personality is in full swing and boy does he have one. Anyway, I don't have any cute pictures or anything, I just wanted to give a short update. Hope everyone is doing great!

One more thing...well two more things. I really hope that I have more than 3 followers to my blog. I want to know that you read my blog!!!! If you don't want to join as a follower, just leave me a little note in the comment section to let me know that you are there....even if I don't know you! Secondly, I have added some "wise words" on the left hand side below the pictures. I like to write down or save neat quotes whenever I hear them. So, I have included a new section to my blog. Hopefully I can add more soon. You may not even be interested in this, but I feel the need to tell you. ok...now I am rambling. Have a great day and thanks for reading. Don't forget to let me know you are reading......:)

Great Weekend

Yes I am posting about this past weekend and it is almost the weekend again...sorry, I have been busy. We had a jammed packed weekend of fun. Friday Jameson made his very first trip to the zoo. He wasn't very interested in anything, but we managed and I think he had a good time. We went with my very best friend Brandy and her very cute Maddie girl. Was it stressful...yes, did we have meltdowns...yes, did we make memories....yes. Overall it was a good trip.


Looking at the Flamingo's. Jameson wasn't too sure about those pink birds. They were making lots of noise and I am not real sure what he is thinking. Maddie looks amazed!


The Peacock was about the only thing Jameson really seemed interested in.

On Saturday Jameson had his first experience in his new little swimming pool. The weather was so nice. He splashed around and really seemed to enjoy the water. I think he thought he was just taking a bath outside. He looked so cute in his little swim shorts. I can't believe how big he is getting.


Rusty was cutting grass and Jameson kept waving at him from the pool. It was so cute. It was like he was saying, "hey dad, look at me".


He was amazed with the bottom of the pool.


Splash! Splash!

Saturday afternoon we went to my nephews 2ND birthday party and then went to Home Depot for a minute. The party was a blast and Jameson had lots of fun playing with Elijah's new toys. When we got to Home Depot I decided I would let Jameson ride in one of those massive buggies that look like a race car in front. Jameson loved it. As soon as I buckled him in, he immediately put his hands on the wheel and started driving that thing. It was so cute. I didn't have my camera with me, but GiGi took a picture of him driving. By the way, I think you have to have a CDL to drive one of those things. It was huge.

We had a weekend of many firsts and it won't be the last. It was good times and I just love my little man so much. I am so glad that we get to enjoy doing things together.
