Shopping

Kate and I went scrapbook shopping in Clarksville Saturday. We went with Leslie, Mimi, Kara, and Henry. This is the view from the back seat in Leslie's Tahoe. Kara and I were stuck in the back of the bus! The car seats were blocking the door, so we had to climb out the back hatch all day! By the end of the day Kara had decided the Tahoe needed 6 doors!
Henry and Kate were the best little babies! They are growing up so fast. They are starting to notice each other when we hold them close together or sit them beside each other. I can't wait until they raise up and try to talk to each other in the car seats! I wonder what they will discuss?


Ok. Here is the water jug that Mimi got me at the gas station. I asked her to get me 2 bottles of water (remember, I am in the back and I don't want to climb out of the hatch). She comes back with one regular bottle of water and this. She said "It was cheaper." It was so funny. I am so glad she was being so thrifty! I am still working on drinking it!

She found her feet!

This morning I was playing with Kate in the bed and she found her feet! I have been waiting for her to do that and she finally did! She tries so hard to get her toes in her mouth. She just grunts and groans! It is the cutest thing!

Travis, Emily, Amy, and Kate

Travis, Emily, and Amy just love their newest cousin! I took the opportunity to get some pictures of them a few weeks ago and this one is just precious! There were some other good ones, but this one is my favorite and it wasn't even posed! Sometimes the subjects in the pictures just always look good!

sticky situation

I just love these pictures of Kate holding her own sucker! She just smacked her lips and made all kinds of noise. She was in a sticky situation when she finished!

Beech Bend

Leslie, this is for you!

Kate is trying to keep cool in her diaper while she watches the race.

Jackie, Steve, Buzzy, Steve's Dad, and Heavy work on the fender between races.

I told Buzzy that I was going to take a picture and this is the pose I got! He is so funny!

I went to see Steve race at Beech Bend finally! Regina rode to Bowling Green with me so Kate would have some company in the back seat. The race was GREAT! Steve placed third on the second race. Kate enjoyed the race too. She sat in my lap for the firs 50 laps and watched the cars go by. It looked just like she was watching what was going on. She couldn't stay awake for the last 50 laps, it was her bedtime. We had a great time and I can't wait to go again!

Shop till you drop!

A couple of weeks ago, Leslie and I went shopping with the kiddos. They were so good considering how many stores we drug them through. They were even well behaved at Texas Roadhouse! They finally gave it up in the car at the same time! These pics are priceless and I would bet they will make it to a prom slideshow someday!

Labor Day Picnic

I am posting pics of the Labor Day Picnic at Aunt Doris' house. We always cook hamburgers for lunch and steaks for supper on the grill. It is always so much fun to just be with everyone and hang out all day. It is tradition that all the guys shoot clay pigeons and the kids swim in the pond. I don't guess I've grown up enough, because I found myself cooling off in the pond with Kate! She loved it! (All but the mouth full of pond water!) I am so glad Kate has such a big family that cares for her so much. She is only three months old, but she is already making memories that will last a lifetime!

Kate and I swimming. She LOVED the water, but it was a fight for her Papaw to let her get in! The girls won!
