Wedding Day for Kelly
Last week I was part of the most beautiful wedding for my best friend Kelly.

John and Addie loving on Nana's new cat Ferguson/Fergie/Fergus
John and Braydon mixing up a saucy dip for the supper time bread. Letting boys be boys is very rewarding...
so much that it wears Addie out
Hair Cut for Daddy
John really enjoyed getting to help daddy cut his hair. I love these sweet learning moments in life
Addie has a hard time waking up. She takes after her momma. But a warm bottle and sometimes a warm dishwasher is all she needs to perk up.
If you don't know that John is OBSESSED with Transformers you must be living under a rock. He is always wanting Dan to draw tattoos on him.
Dan and I went to the annual GI dinner in May. This is one of our 2 set dates a year. This dinner is for the Fellows that have finished the entire medical process and finally have REAL jobs.
Next year it will be Dans turn.
WE HAVE ONE MORE YEAR TOO GO!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Family Photo
Practicing for our family church photo.
The kids made and decorated the prettiest and most delicious cookies. : )
John and Dan look at snake pictures everyday. literally. As soon as Dan walks in the door John has a list of snakes that he wants to look at on the internet.
We planted a wonderful garden this year that is growing nicely. Here the kids are picking out all the worms in the dirt in preparation for the planting.
Addie is attached to John. Even if he is annoying the tar out of her she will still follow him around. In this pic John had been sent to time out for irritating Addie. Addie followed him to time out and started "reading" him a story from her favorite book. One day they will deny this ever happened but you all are witnesses that they really do deep down inside love each other.
John showing off his tball trophe with coach Dad
John with his team mates. He is literally a head above all the other kids.

showing John the straight and narrow.
there are few things cuter than a toddler walking in their daddies shoes. Especially when they are only wearing a diaper and sucking on a bottle.
Rainy Days
It had rained everyday for weeks here in NC and I just couldn't keep the kids inside any longer so we went out and enjoyed the puddles.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE having a girl. Addie loves putting her own shoes on and wearing hats. She is a typical girly girl!!!
Our dog Beanie.
Our bats. We counted close to 30. They were packed into the bat house like sardines.
Ratty, our rat snake, has made about 3 visits to our house this year. We saw him today and he has grown to about 6 feet.
Johns first local snake that he got to hold. It was a very scary moment for me but he loved every moment. He even was blessed my the snakes musk. STINKY!!!!!
