Bath Time

Another funny one for the women...

I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week. Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.

As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, th rew off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.

I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away.

I was a little surprised when the doctor said, "My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?" I didn't respond.

After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day was normal ... Some shopping, cleaning and cooking.

After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, "Mummy, where's my washcloth?"

I told her to get another one from the cupboard. She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.

" I AM NEVER EVER GOING BACK TO THAT DOCTOR. EVER!

Kids in Church....cute!

3-year-old Reese:

"Our Father, Who does art in heaven,

Harold is His name.

Amen."

A little boy was overheard praying:

"Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.

I'm having a real good time like I am."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the christening of his baby brother in church,

Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car.

His father asked him three times what was wrong.

Finally, the boy replied,

"That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home,

and I wanted to stay with you guys."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One particular four-year-old prayed,

"And forgive us our trash baskets

as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they

were on the way to church service,

"And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"

One bright little girl replied,

"Because people are sleeping."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3.

The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake.

Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.

"If Jesus were sitting here, He would say,

'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'

Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,

"Ryan, you be Jesus!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A father was at the beach with his children

when the four-year-old son ran up to him,

grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore

where a seagull lay dead in the sand.

"Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked.

"He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied.

The boy thought a moment and then said,

"Did God throw him back down?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A wife invited some people to dinner.

At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said,

"Would you like to say the blessing?"

"I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied.

"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered.

The daughter bowed her head and said,

"Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"

I think Devin likes me...

Friends from Michigan...

Our friends, the LeRoux family, drove from MI to visit us. It was so nice to finally meet them. Brooke and Kal are sooo cute! I can't wait until I big enough to play with them.

Family comes to visit...

My grammy, papa and cousin came to visit me this past weekend. We had such a GREAT time! When you get a chance, check out all of the pictures. I think Devin really liked me. What do you think?

Happy Birthday Auntie Anne!

Happy 3rd Anniversary!

Then
Now

It's bedtime...

I'm not the easiest person to put to bed. So, my mommy and daddy have a routine (or so they think). I get a bath (or sponge bath), nightclothes go on and we go upstairs to listen to lullabies and rock. I usually go to sleep within 20-25 minutes. However, when they put me down I WAKE up! PSYCHE! I wasn't ready yet. I think they realize that 9:00 is my bedtime. Any earlier than that and I'm not going to stay asleep for too long. :-)

Reading a Book

I love it when my daddy reads me a book...

Too much beer...

Not really...but it does make for a funny picture. I fell asleep while my daddy was holding me. Yes, he's getting good at using one hand to eat as well as other things around the house.

Aunt Bonnie's Baby Shower

On Saturday, we had my Aunt Bonnie's baby shower. It was so much fun until I started screaming. I'm not sure what I wanted but thank goodness for my Aunt Bonnie. She remembered that I like to be swaddled, turned on my side and "shhhh'd". It worked like a charm. My mommy was really glad that Kaylee was around to help her. She stayed right by her side while mommy was taking care of me.

I can't wait to meet Isabella...she should be here next month. We're going to be such good friends. I am a little worried that we might get in trouble at pre-school by repeating the things we hear our daddy's say. :-)

Oh yeah! Did I tell you how much I enjoyed all of the attention? It's great being a baby. Besides, it meant my mommy could use both of her hands for awhile.

My mommy reads to me...

I love to read books (or have my mommy read to me). My daddy took this picture of us reading.

I'm a cutie

Men and their babies...

Someone thought it'd be cute to have the daddies kiss their babies for a picture. Yes, that's a Budweiser in my Uncle Larry's arms.

"Let Them Be Little"

"Let Them Be Little"
LONESTAR

[Originally written and sung by Billy Dean]

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes
Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please

Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around
It's time to let them go

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

Let them be little

My daddy's birthday party...

Well, his party was a success! We had pork tenderloin, au gratin potatoes, grilled vegetables and a salad. For dessert, my mommy made brownies and a pineapple upside down cake. To see the pictures, go to my web album.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is my daddy's 34th birthday! We're having a few friends over this afternoon to help him celebrate...I'll make sure mommy posts the pictures for all to see.

Here's a picture that mommy took of daddy this morning as he opened presents from us.

Hangin' out on the hammock...

I love to be outside so my mommy and daddy hung out with me on our hammock. I love them.

Preparing for hunting season...

Check out my hunting cap. I also have some camo outfits but my mommy needs to wash them before I can wear them.

Parenting 101

Our friend, Chris B. (a guy from Louisiana), sent these child-rearing pictures. Which one looks like Nutz and Crackerz?

The first three pictures are priceless!

Gotta love the beer drinking pic!

I think this shirt was made special for me!

Not too sure what to think of this picture!

I'm sure this is Nutz' favorite picture.
