Waterbug!

I wanted to buy Kate a kiddie pool this summer, but I figured she would have just as much fun in her bathtub outside. She had so much fun kicking and squirming in the water. Afterward we just sat under the umbrella while she dried off. She actually dozed off. I thought I was going to catch some sun, but I was having too much fun in the shade with Kate! I think I have myself a waterbug!

She's gonna be a reader!

Look how well Kate listens to me read! She does something new every day and I just love watching her grow!

Napping with Kate

Dad caught me napping with Kate! Just a sweet picture if I have to say so myself!

First bite

Kate had her first bite of cereal! I almost forgot to take a picture, but Dad reminided me. She really didn't know about it at first, but it didn't take her long to figure it out. These moments are the most precious!

Pics of Kate

My favorite!

Mohawk

I just wanted to post some pics that I thought were cute. Oh my goodness, I am turning into one of "those" Moms! Oh, well!

My first pigtails!

Kate didn't have a matching hair bow, so I gave her pigtails! Isn't she cute!
A close up!

Uncle Norman

Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. Uncle Norman passed away earlier today. I thought alot of him and so did a lot of other people. He was a very good uncle to have in my life. Thanks for the prayers.

Playing at Mamaw an Papaws

I can't help it! I just have to take pictures when I see the opportunity--all the time! I took Emily, Amy, and Kate on a picnic the other day and it turned into another photo shoot. The girls had a ball. I'll have to admit I had fun too. By the end Kate was getting pretty fussy!

Everybody just loves Kate!

Skunk trap???

If anything can happen, it can happen to my dad. My dad set a coon trap in his garden because it was eating the corn. This morning we got up and he found a skunk inside it with two baby skunks trying to nurse outside the trap. He was stumped on how he was going to get the skunk out of the trap without getting sprayed. My brother, Lewis came to visit at the wrong time. They didn't get spryed, but you could smell the skunk outside. I am so glad I had my camera ready. The funny part is at the end when Dad is chasing the baby skunks with a stick!

Update

My Uncle Norman made it out of surgury yesterday. It was supposed to be a 2 hour surgury and it ended up being 6 hours. They found a lot more to do after they started the surgury. My parents and I went to see him today and he seems to be doing well considering he was in surgury for so long. The doctors seem impressed that he is doing so well. Still keep praying for him, he has a long road ahead of him.

Uncle Norman and Kate

Please keep my Dad's brother, Norman Flener, in your thoughts and prayers. He is in the hospital and is going in for surgury today. They are going to remove a tumor from his stomach. I am glad Kate brought a smile to Uncle Norman's face yesterday! I will keep you updated on his progress, just keep praying for a good outcome!

Afternoon photo shoot

Just wanted to post some photos that I took of Kate one afternoon last week. Isn't she just adorable!

Shopping at Paducah

We went to Paducah shopping last Friday. I had to find Kate an outfit for the 4th of July. I couldn't decide which one to get, so she got three! The picture above is of Mommy and Kate at Ponderosa. She was in a really good mood after a long day of shopping.
Kate's first taste of watermelon! I know, I am going to get some comments about this, but she just licked it. (She really liked it!)
Papaw was talking to Kate. She was starting to get fussy and she really likes her Papaw to talk to her.
