Picnic

We had a beautiful day here in Little Rock today and Britton couldn't wait to get out and enjoy it. We went for a picnic with some friends, this was B's first picnic, he was super excited. He just played and ate alot of his food, we stayed at the park for over 2 hrs. it was a great day!!!!

Spring Break

You know once a teacher always a teacher, so I always look forward to spring break. It's just exciting, the weather is getting warmer, everything is beginning to look new and fresh, and of course fun trips. As you know John is gone so we took a trip with my family to Branson. I showed Britton online a couple of weeks before all the fun stuff we were going to do, of course all he could remember was Silver Dollar City. When we got to Branson the first day, he said " this is not Branson where is the ladybug ride?" I guess he thought SDC was Branson, it was a long week of waiting for him because we had to wait until my niece and nephew got there on Thurs. to go to the "real" Branson. We did tons of fun stuff though, Dixie Stampede, Butterfly Palace, Joe's Crab Shack, Shopping of course, Dino Exhibit, and Shorty Small's for Kathy:) It was a great week, B got to swim at the inside pool and love Bass Pro Shop. Hope you guys had a great Spring Break too!!!!

The Zoo

We had a great weekend here last week and Britton and I took full advantage. We went to the park with friends on Thursday and the Zoo on Friday. Britton had sooo much fun at the Zoo. He knew exactly what he wanted to see and was very specific about everything. His favorite was the snakes, he could have watched them forever, they were all very active. I think it was feeding time. Of course we had to ride the train, his favorite thing. He is really growing up, he asked for a hat and wore it the whole time. It was tons of fun, I am ready for SPRING!

Pictures and such

I wanted to post a few pics of B over the last couple of weeks. He is just getting so funny and so smart, I love to sit and just listen to him talk. Anyway these are just some random pics, he was eating an apple the other day and said, "mom take a picture of me." Of course how can you resist and it was the first time he wanted a pic taken. The others are just playing outside with his important stick collection, and a swimming party for a friend. He did do great with the new little floatie I bought, can't wait to start swimming lessons, he loves the water.

My Valentine

Well, I have been a bad blogger lately, just busy I guess. We have been going to MDO, church, birthdays, visit family..... Lots of going, Britton is doing good soooo big, he just talks all the time and loves pretending. John is doing well, he called for the first time on Friday and said his new job is busy, but great. We miss him alot, Britton is always wanting to hear stories about daddy, it is so sweet. I will post a few pics from Valentines day, Britt had a big party at MDO and we went to visit my paw-paw. He got a Thomas Valentine from daddy and is taking it everywhere we go. Here is a quick cute B story: we were driving to town and he was talking about his blanket. He asked who got it for him and of coursed answered the question himself, then asked what I got him. I explained a baby shower and that I didn't have to buy much all our friends gave him lots of great presents. Then he thought for a minute and asked, "Did the Shepard's come?" I said no baby they only came to see baby Jesus. So sweet.

Well it is really cold and yucky here so I thought I would take some of the time inside to post. John is back in Abilene and getting ready to go back overseas, so that is a bummer. We will go see him next week in OKC. Britton is working potty training and he has 3 dry days YAY!!! I hope this sticks, I am tired of buying diapers. We have just been hanging out with friends and playing trains of course, B was sick a couple of weeks ago he had pnemonia, but he is all better now. Hope all is good with everyone, here are some summer pics of B to warm you up.

Happy Holidays

Well Christmas has come and gone, but we had a great time. Britton made cookies for Santa on Christmas eve and loved every minute of eating them, and laying them out for him. We got up Christmas morning and the gifts were all there under the tree. Before we opened presents, we read the Christmas story of B's little Bible and he sang "Joy to the World" which is his favorite Christmas carol. Then it was time to open presents, he got tons of stuff and we actually just finished opening all the gifts on Tuesday, because he just wanted to play with everything. His favorite gift has got to be Thomas the Train stuff, wow is he obsessed. Our family came to Little Rock and we had fun getting to see them and all the cousins were together for the first time in a couple of years on the 26th. We loved all the holiday stuff, but mostly enjoyed being together and teaching Britton the meaning of Christmas.
