Happenings!

The past 2 weeks have been crazy!!!
MJ was on vacation and then P decided to get a 102 fever the NEXT week, so Grandmom P had to come down and help relieve Mommy & Daddy!
We are NOW on the mend and HOPEFULLY will be back to ourselves these next few weeks!
I haven't had time to blog, but I have taken a few pictures.........

A couple of weekends ago we headed to the Zoo....here are some things we saw.....

Watching the Sea Lion Show!!


Then the other afternoon, I came in after nap time to find this! Needless to say, the bed was lowered that night! HE IS GROWING UP TOO FAST!!!!!!!!!!!

Mass Destruction & A Great Crash! :)

our poor living room, never again to be the same! ;)

He is crawling out....saying "I am done with this crap!" :)

Immediately after changing is diaper, right after the above picture, I picked him up and his eyes closed INSTANTLY! I knew then he was tired! but I would be too if I had only had about 15 minutes of sleep since 1:30 AM this morning! I should be doing what he is doing, but I can't sleep on demand! :)
Sweet Dreams!
Safe Weekend to all!

Sarah's Shower!

The Girls & I at University threw Sarah a wedding shower yesterday, at Bhan Thai! Her Mom came, who is a butterfly farmer and had us butterflies to release! It was so cool! We had a blast and even had a Wedding Cake Shot in honor of the bride! :)

Mom & Bride To BE!

Sarah & her Muddy's Cupcakes!


then presents........




Then shots.....


then releasing...... :)



You stuck your finger into the envelope and let the butterfly suction to your finger, then you brought him out of the envelope! Mine immediately flew off, he didn't want to stay around and meet me! :) It was such a neat experience! Sarah's Mom was great! and so informative! She does kids parties! Guess who is going to do it!? P! :)


Lisa's stayed with her for the entire time! :)


Sarah and her butterfly! ;)

Funnies & Fun

Several stories I have been meaning to blog about for the past few weeks....so, I'll just combine them!
:)

***
MJ tells me several weeks ago while they were on their multiple daily walks in the 6 seated stroller that P got pooped on by a bird! Thankfully it was not on his head or near his hands that he would immediately put in his mouth but on the back of his shoulder! I said "well, one embarrassing thing to happen to him already over with in his 1st 6months of life!" :)

***
Yesterday, Mr. P was having a bad afternoon. We believe it is 2 more teeth that are trying to break the skin. They are the 2 beside the two bottom ones he got @ 4 months old! Anyways...I took him on a walk, yes, yesterday, in the blistering 102 degree weather with 115 degree heat index. But the minute we stepped outside, he was content. I said I would walk until the next morning if he would just be content and not feel bad. :) Long story short, we came in, we were both sweating, I sat us down on the floor, and I had my Bubba Keg full of water next to us. I started to pull water up in the straw and fill his mouth with it. We did that for, pretty much, a million times, and he started sucking it out of the end of the straw that I was releasing it in his mouth with. So, I thought, I'll put this back in the Bubba Keg and see if he will drink. And guess what? HE DID! He master a straw in one afternoon! This morning when we did it again, we had to practice some more, but he is getting it! So proud of him! :) I told John he master a feat on John's birthday! (7/11/11) :)

***
then this morning we were having our breakfast together. Me having a piece of toast, bacon and a small glass of Chocolate Silk; P having his carrot and peas..... :) I was just about to put a spoon full of carrots in and IN FLEW a gnat!!! P clamped his mouth down and I never saw the gnat again! I screamed, P stared at me, then I started to laugh, P started his "Kkkkkkk"ing, I reported "well, that has to be good protein", and we went on about our business! :)

Weekend of Wonderfulness!

Just a fun relaxing weekend of pool side happiness, visiting with friends happiness and the THANKFULNESS for air conditioning! :)

Skinny Dipping!!

Our first bite of Avocado! I don't think we will make him eat it any more, he NEVER got better than this face the whole time. We will try again, but for 2 days he hated it really! :)

Our usual mess for the night! :)

First bite of peaches! Not really thinking that much about it......

Then it was like...."oh, ok, these are really ok!" ;)


***
Then Sunday we got to go down to Senatobia, MS to see our very best friends Court & Todd while they were in town! The time went by WAY to fast and of course there were tears shed when we had to leave! We love you guys!!
:)

With the pacy!

with out the pacy! :)

New Generation meets Old Generation

Last night we went on our weekly journey to Wal-Mart (very dreaded on our part) for formula and this & thats. We pick our line to check out. P was getting kind of tired, as it was almost his bed time. So, I pick him up out of the cart and start to just walk/bounce him around. I immediately spot a little elderly lady sitting on the bench in the front waiting on her party. I say to B, "you will find me by the sweet little lady up front" (like he didn't know that I would gravitate to the little older people = I just love them!) We walk up to her and she pats the seat to sit by her. So, P & I plop down.
She is precious. She is wearing a silky white long sleeved blouse with black polka dots on it, black slacks, she is holding a cane and to make the whole outfit she is wearing a black golfer type hat with sequins on it! Precious let me tell you!
She first off tells P how pretty he is. (I still think @ 7 months old you can call him pretty!) and she pats his feet and she says "Oh his feet are cold" and I said "do you know his hands and feet stay that way? and my MeeMaw used to say 'Cold Hands means Warm Heart', so that is a good thing right?" and she said "and Cold Feet means he is a Sweetheart!" I had never heard that saying but I loved it!
She then proceeds to say, "I bet I am older than your Grandmother" I said "if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? because you look GREAT!" (and she really did!) She said "I will be 96 in August!" and I said "what day? because mine is August 29th" and she told me it was the 3rd! I again told her she looked wonderful! and she was back on Pierce saying "you are a cute red head!" :) I didn't correct her, because honestly I think his little hair has some red in it! but I thought it was fun to see what others see in him!
B then came to pick us up to leave. She patted P again and we said our farewells.
But I had such a swollen happy heart. The older people are such good people! I will be very sad when that generation is gone, because they put such a wonderful light on life!
I prayed for her last night. She has been in my mind this morning!
I just wish P could remember meeting her.....
;)

Independance Daaaaaaaaay!

for the title of this blog post, I am in true Martina McBride form and belting it out!! ;)
For the 4th, we had company! B's parents! We had a really good time, just relaxing and enjoying one another company!

What does it look like to you!?
A donut I hope! I had the new Ultimate Donut Cake Pan by Avon and wanted to try it out!
I filled it with the MOST delicious Lemon Cake, all Thanks to Court for the recipe!
and I thought it looked JUST like a glazed donut! :)

Mr. Bill & Sophe takin' a snooze!

First few bites of Chicken! ;)




We all went to Faith Baptist Church fireworks display! B & I think they are the best in town! P did AWESOME! He & I had to go to the car, but after we got in there, we watched through the windshield and had the best time together!

Watching all the people at the fireworks! :)



Uncle John! I want to play XBOX with you! :)

My soap happy from Mrs. Brenda! I don't want to use it! It is too sweet!!!

We hated for our weekend to be over!
