Thunder

Blake loves to ride "Dunder" at Mamaw and Papaw's.

Serious Blair

Water War with Papaw

Scott went to the Masters and I took B&B to visit the family.  Blake wanted to take a bath in the BIG bathtub.  My dad instructed him in the fine art of squirt toys.  He is now an expert!

Happy Easter

What a COLD Easter morning!  Blair looked adorable.  Blake wouldn't pose for a picture, but he looked handsome.  We went to early service and the Easter Bunny came while we were at church.  

"Don't touch it. Lemme do it."

Coloring Easter Eggs

Saturday we colored Easter Eggs. 

Easter Egg Hunt

Last weekend our church had an Easter Egg Hunt.  Blake has really enjoyed Easter this year.  He loves the idea of finding eggs that have "treats" in them.  So much so, in fact, that when "hunting" eggs he stops to look in each one to see what he has found.  No prize for the most eggs this year!

I couldn't really get Blake to cooperate, but I thought some of you might want to just here him talk.  I'll try to get a better video later.  

A Real Snow Day

It snowed Friday night and we finally got enough to justify buying a snowsuit!  (4 or 5 inches)  I think a lot of it was gone by Saturday afternoon and it was all gone by Sunday.  Winter's last gasp, which is fine by me.  Blake wasn't as thrilled with the snow as we were.  He was warm all except for his hands.  He had gloves but none that were waterproof and his hands quickly got cold and wet.  It didn't take long for him to come inside for hot chocolate.

A Pretty Day

Sunday was a beautiful day!  We played outside.  Blair got to swing for the first time and she loved it.  On Monday, I took her to the doctor.  She weighs 16.7 pounds which means she still has to sit facing backwards in the car.  (sigh)  I am going to go ahead and switch the seats though.  I've had enough of the baby carrier.  The doctor said she was a perfectly happy, healthy one year old.  We no longer have to adjust for her prematurity because she has "caught up".  He is predicting that she will give her big brother a run for his money.  I have no doubts about that.  

Ollie and Blake

Mallory brought her puppy Ollie over for a visit.  Blake LOVED him and Ollie loved Blake too.  

Snow Day

Blake didn't have school today because of snow.  It wasn't much, but in Middle Tennessee that's enough to get excited about.  We didn't stay out long because it was really cold and still snowing.  He was more interested to get inside to hot chocolate anyway!

Watch Her Grow

These are a few of my favorite photos of Blair. She is such a joy & a blessing. I can't wait to see her little personality develop. We hope you enjoy the pictures & enjoy celebrating

                                                                                            Blair with us on her special day.

 

Ribbit Ribbit

Blake got a new raincoat and boots.  He seemed to like them.  He wore them around the rest of the night!

Some Family Pictures

Happy Birthday Blair!

Blair will turn one on Wednesday.  I can't believe that it's been a year!  All of the grandparents came for a little party.  Blair had fun, but I think Blake had the most fun.  He essentially opened all of her presents.  We all enjoyed cake that Nana made.  

Happy Valentines Day

A Valentine From Blake & Blair:

For God so loVed the world

       That He gAve 

             His onLy

             BegottEn

                    SoN

            That whoever

       Believeth In Him

           Should Not perish

        But have Everlasting life.

John 3:16

I was able to take a couple of pictures this morning before we ran errands.  I would have more of Blake but when I asked him to be in some pictures he informed me he was "too busy".  This was as he was meticulously lining up his cars one by one along the table.

We hope that all of you have a wonderful Valentines Day!

A Chocolate Treat!

Mallory kept Blake and Blair on Monday evening. "B&B" got her a box of chocolates because she is, of course, "The Best Babysitter Ever"! Anyway I'll skip to the best part. While Mallory is tending to Blair, Blake becomes suspiciously quiet. She goes to the kitchen where she finds the lid off of her box of chocolates and THREE pieces missing. She calls for him and gets no answer. She locates him crouching behind the sofa with chocolate ALL over his face and melting pieces in his hands!!! Oh, and the wrapper to her box of chocolates is wrapped around his head like some kind of hero banner! Miraculously, there were no chocolate fingerprints to be found. Thank goodness!
