Jaxon The Snake Man






Last weekend I got called out to the backyard
by Jaxon . As I walked out the door I saw Jaxon
swinging a long rope very quickly over his head.
I chastised him and told him not to swing the rope
so close to his brother. I was quickly corrected
and told it wasn't a rope, but a snake that Boo the cat
brought to Jaxon. Unfortunately for both me and
the snake, he was still alive. Jaxon was thrilled.
He thought he had acquired a new pet.
He played with it while he waited for my mom,
dad, and gma to get home. He was so excited to
show it to everyone!! To the horror of both
my mom and gma the snake was still alive when
they got home!
When I called David to tell him Jaxon found a
snake the only thing he said was "make
sure he doesn't hurt the snake!" Nice!
We eventually talked him into throwing
the snake back into the river bottoms.
However, he wanted to be called Jaxon
The Snake Man for the rest of the weekend!

Who needs the Ace of Cakes?!!!




So I have a secret confession..... I love to bake!!
Actually I LOVE to cook- period!
Noone die of shock!
Last week we celebrated
my adorable niece Cassi Sue's 1st B-day.
I was so excited to get to help with the party!
I got tasked with cupcakes and this is what
I turned out! Pretty dang good for an
amateaur!! Ace of Cakes eat your heart out!!
(unfortunately no blowtorches or chainsaws were used!)

Cookies with Gma







Flour fights, licking the beaters,
cookie dough and eating more frosting
than we put on the cookies.... Good Times!!

Cassidy's addiction


My neice Cassidy learned to drink through
a straw...it just took a little Diet
Coke to get her trained!! Thanks gma
for teaching ALL our children to love
the "good stuff". (even though I hate it!)

Trip to NC




So, I am listening to the sound
of the waves roll in from the
Atlantic as I'm writing this.
Myrtle Beach is beautiful!! Life is good!
It has been such fun spending time
with my mom, gma and sister.
We really did come for business,
but isn't it a rule that you should
mix business with pleasure?!
I got to see my house for
the first time! It was beautiful.
I was so nervous, but was
pleasantly surprised. I am looking
forward to seeing it finished!! Here
are some pics of our trip (more
to come). You can't see it in the pic,
but behind those trees we have a
fantastic lake. The front of the
house is very traditionally
Southern. I am still getting used to
all the siding. It will be great! David-
I'll send you all the pics of the inside.
I'll spare everyone else pics of sheetrock!
