My pictures of Lauren and the weather should post to ABC 33/40's website within the hour.

I sent Lauren to try out her rain boots and her boat

This is after only 10 mins of rain!

Take COVER!

Momma's Boy

See our Angel?

Here is a picture of our front door-

Here is a picture only seconds later- see the colors and shadow effect? Alexis trying to hug it.

How about now?

This was so fun to pretend there might be a Angel in the house.. The girls really believed that there was a angel visiting yesterday. No doubt there were angels with us but there was also a smear on my camera lens! LOL!

Sunday Best

Here is some pics from yesterday after church. (Alexis is holding him up from behind the stairs)

He's Standing Alone

Blake has started attempting to pull himself up. He is also getting brave enough to attempt standing.This only last about 10 secs but its progress.

What do you do During a Tropical Storm?

Muddy Kick Ball

Birmingham Barons Game

Drue's Company had family night at the Birmingham Barons Game Friday Night . You'll never believe who showed up.................................................................................................Lauren's Favorite Singer, ELVIS!

Speed Boy

Blake loves his walker. He can maneuver it all over the house and can actually run in it!

Notice Anything Missing?

Congrats to Alexis on losing a tooth that has been "Hanging" around for a couple of days!

Lauren's First Bike

Lauren finally saved her money and bought a bike!
She is really good at it but you have to remind her to pay attention and the famous last words
Lauren Be Careful...........................

OUCH! She got right back up and off she went!

Little Blake is Sick :-(

Blake woke up Saturday morning running low grade fever , and unbelievable amount of drainage from his nose, eyes and coughing! OH the joys of Daycare! Three days of daycare and we are already sick.....

A sneeze in progress

We're Back!

Drue , Me and Blake are back home from Destin, FL. I had a conference to attend so Drue and Blake came with me. During the trip Blake decided he loved sticking out his tounge! I think every time we introduced him he stuck it out!

Summer Time Is Almost Gone!

I was looking back over my beach pictures and wanted to repost some of
my favorites from our trip!

It's all about the Locker

In 6th Grade it's all about the Locker!
We have been preparing for the locker all summer. We bought a combination lock to practice with, locker wall paper, shelving unit, dry erase board,locker mirror/ vanity! Wow!
Bad news When we went to get registered and she got her locker assignment it was a Bottom locker and she says "a Big Sweaty Boy" is above her :-(
First Day of school Alexis said half the kids couldn't open the lockers and teachers were growing very tired of Locker Emergencies! LOL!

Alexis captured a few pics with her phone, you know just in case anyone asks her what her locker looks like.....

Blake's Check up

Blake had is Belated 6 month check up today! (Yes I know he just turned 7 months)
He weighed 20 lbs 10ozs
length 28 inches

Growing well and starting foods is our biggest accomplishment. Blake has a tear duct that is not working in his left eye that will most likely have to be opened but we will wait until his 9 month check up to send him for a evaluation.

Blake got his toe pricked for a HCT level and didn't cry, He got his first shot no tears but for the 2,3,4th he screamed one time and it was over!

Alexis's First Day of 6th Grade!

First Day of 6th Grade! Alexis was a bit nervous!

Today was also the day for Lauren to meet her new 4K teacher! What a surprise we got a real sweetheart! She had made all the kids goodie bags!

Lauren with Mrs. Donna

Lauren could not wait for Alexis to get home. This is the first year Alexis is riding the Bus in the afternoons. So Drue and Lauren made a few Signs to hold up as the Middle School Bus approached our stop! Poor Alexis! This says Cheese Wagon STOP Here!

This one: Welcome Home Alexis Super 6th Grader!

Alexis comming off the Bus

Lauren holding her sign. Oh also the neighbors little boy decided to make signs as well so she had a whole street of signs......... So Funny!
