Jennifer's 30th Birthday Party

As I mentioned in my previous post, Jennifer (my sister, for those unaware) turned 30 on the 28th of May. We threw her a surprise party at Pasghetti's in Rainbow City on June 1st.
I made her an album that was shaped as a train with pictures of carson. Turned out cute, I'll post pictures of it when I can get Jennifer to send me some. I forgot to take some before I gave it to her.

Carson. Look at this picture of him sideways. Yep, this picture calls for some photoshop fun!!

Memorial Day - May 28th.

May 28th, Memorial Day and Jennifer's 30th Birthday. Too bad Jennifer was very sick on her birthday and was at home in bed all day. But Mom picked up Carson and brought him to Grandma's house for lunch.


Carson, Cailey & Minnie

Cailey wore her Birthday dress so I could maybe get a good picture of her by the river.



I love this action picture of Cailey jumping up in the air while throwing a rock.



Richard drove them around in Pat's golf cart a good bit. And when it wasn't in use Minnie usually sat in it or the wagon. She wasn't to fond of the grass.

Carson's 3rd Birthday Party!

Carson turned 3 on May 17th. His party was on the 20th at Noccollula Falls. We were late to the party so we missed the birthday cake and presents. The first picture is from my mom. But it was fun and we took Cailey and Carson on a ride on the train. They had a good time!

Mom made the Thomas Train Cake.

This 1st picture was taken going through the "tunnel".

They held hands toward the end of the ride, so cute.

Mother's Day 5-13-07

Here are a few pictures from Mother's Day at Richard's Parents house. My family was in Gulf Shores so just pictures with the Whites. =)
I had a great Mother's Day. My best yet I believe. Richard gave me a gorgeous watch!!

Cailey with Granny & Aunt Monica

She sure does love her Granny....yeah and her mommy too!

Kitty Cat Cailey

If you've been around Cailey much, you've probably noticed how she acts like a cat sometime. Meowing at us and rubs her head on us showing us some love. Of course I love it and I do it right back to her. ;) It's just so cute. So one night in the tub she filled this bowl with water & said I'm a kitty cat, laping up some water!

Just a Swingin' 5-7-07

Cailey hasn't been a big swinger till this day. Usually she'd sit on the swing & let me push her for a few seconds and then she was ready to get off! But she has found the love for swinging! And I'm glad she finally likes it. Of course she likes it most when we stand in front of her and grab her ankles and pull her back and let her go. She doesn't want us pushing her from behind. She swung for ATLEAST 45 minutes!
And the best part of her swinging are the stories she tells, the songs she sings (Songs she knows or Cailey originals), and her conversations.
Here's some of a conversation we had while she swung:
Cailey: You see my shadow? You see me getting bigger?
Me: I sure do, the sun is making your shadow. (I believe she thought I said that the sun is taking your shadow)
Cailey: (turns around & looks at the Sun & shaking her finger at it) Sun, don't take my shadow! I'll have to go to the sky and spank your bottom!!

I just loved that! Some other things she talked about was how she was going to cut down the trees with her teeth like a beaver. =)




I think she's tired of me taking pictures! Don't you think?

Oxford Lake 4-18-07

While Richard was still in Vegas, me & Cailey went to the Oxford Park/Lake.


Cailey made sure not to step on the cracks on the covered bridge. I believe she was afraid she would fall through! In the second picture she had stopped and reached out for me to come get her. I then got her to walk on the other boards.

Baby duckies!

Smoky Mountain Trip April 14-17

Since Richard went to Las Vegas for Business to the NBA I decided to go with my parents on their trip to the Smokies. We left Saturday morning, the 14th, and came back on Tuesday. Most of Saturday evening and ALL day Sunday it rained! We drove through some snow flurries and got to see a bit of snow on Monday morning on our drive to Cades Cove. We camped on the Little River in Townsend. Cailey enjoyed sitting by the river & throwing rocks and minnie trying to get them when weather permitted. Here's a LOT of pictures!

Here's the little bit of Snow that we came across on the way to Cades Cove, Monday. This is Cailey's first sight of real snow on the ground...ever.



She Loved it!!!

Enlarge and check out her face in this one!~~Cades Cove. You can see the snow capped mountains.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I couldn't help but sing the Little House on the Prairie music while she ran down this grassy field toward PawPaw.


What deer we did see were mostly in the woods. We thought they might have been a lot of deer out since it had been raining for 2 days. But we only saw a little under 20.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I love this photo. Look at that scrunched nose.



Thowing pennies.



I really love this first photo too!!~~~~What a great action shot! She looks like she is ice skating.

And Of course I love these pictures!!! I just wish it would have been warm enough for her to be in a cute outfit.

Throwing rocks behind the camper.

Cute, Happy faces!


Minne waiting for Cailey to throw a rock.

Now it's time to play with sticks!

At Lookout Point in Townsend. I didn't get any pictures at the very top, the wind was blowing 30-40 mph...seriously! ~~~~~~~~~~Cailey and her bear purse that Nonna & PawPaw got her.
