July 4th Weekend

Daddy was off on Friday so we went to the Zoo.

Have you seen the GIBBONS? They are HILARIOUS!!

He was reading... I mean eating (literally) a book!

Black Bear


Carousel - or as Anna says...the "up down"

The Blake Family Reunion is on the 4th of July.

Landon with Mamaw Cindy. He is ALL SMILES... all the time!

Mamaw Shirley, Anna & Joseph

Cowboys and Cowgirls

We went to Jack and Jake's 3rd Birthday party on Sunday. Anna LOVED getting her cowgirl hat, riding the pony, and hitting the pinata! As always, Frances throws a great party!

Look at Catherine's cute outfit! Thanks Kari for the pictures!!

If These Walls Could Talk...

Now that the walls are painted...they needed more 'personality'. These 'expressions' are from Uppercase Living. Click HERE to check them out for yourself.

9 months old

Landon is 9 months old (as of last week - I'm a little late on my posting). He went to the Dr. for his check-up and he weighs 19 lbs. and 4 oz. and is 29 inches long. He LOVES to pull up and stand. He is always sucking in his lips because he likes all his new teeth (he has 5, so far). I tried to upload a video of him laughing...but it didn't load. He is into EVERYTHING (is this a boy thing??) He is so much fun! Life wouldn't be the same - or complete - without him.

LCBC VBS

This was Anna's first Vacation Bible School. She loved the songs!

Before and After

Joseph knew I was having the kitchen and living room painted... he just didn't know what colors. This is the BEFORE...

and.... this is the AFTER...

Thanks Frances for the reference on the painters. They did a great job!

Florida Vacation

It's been a long time! School is out (hooray!) and we went to Florida. We started at Disney World and the Beach Club Resort (you should visit!) and then ended with Sarasota, FL to visit Joseph's family. We had a blast! The kids were really good. At Disney we went to Chef Mickey's to meet Mickey and all his friends for dinner. We went to the Magic Kingdom and met all the princesses (Ariel is Anna's new favorite). At Downtown Disney we went shopping and to the Rainforest Cafe. Then we drove over to Sarasota for fun in the sun on Siesta Key beach and at Aunt Anne's pool. We are already planning next year's trip!

Easter with Cousins

We had a wonderful Easter.

Anna especially enjoyed the day with her COUSINS!

Easter Bunny

We went to see the Easter Bunny. The only way that
Anna sat on his lap was because brother did it.



On Saturday, we went to the Vineyard Easter Egg Hunt.

Look at all the eggs I found!

LOOK MOM! These eggs have CHOCOLATE inside!!

Addie in her shades...so cute!

Anna and 'baby' Anna :)

Time for a picnic. It was so good to see Catherine and Carson.

Blowing bubbles... so much fun!

Thanks Frances! We had a 'ball'!
