The Great Outdoors

o nice to see the kids GET OUTSIDE and truly savor this lovely weather we’ve been having.  There is nothing like the neighborhood children playing together in afternoon sun.

It’s heartwarming, really.

“Cause…cause…I wanted a mushroom and I didn’t got a mushroom”

Seriously, whatever happened to the out-of-breath squeals of “tag, you’re it”?

And little Bill is not one to be left out of the technological loop.  Girlfriend has calls to make!

Bailey is TOOO cute. You are going to have your hands full when she is a teenager, with those looks and that sass.

I am convinced that Alden and Parker would be wonderful friends. Alden can’t stand to walk out the door without the DS attached to him. It’s nuts! And that last pic of Bailey: perfection.

Oh my gosh, really? And our parents thought WE were bad back in the 80′s watching tv. Thank goodness we did not have gameboys and cell phones back then.

A Parker and His PaPaw

Kicking back with a can of coke in the bed of a pickup truck after lots of kite flying on a brilliantly beautiful morning…does it get much better?

For Parker and PaPaw, the answer is “heck no”.

I’m so thankful for Parker’s time with PaPaw. I know how much his mommie loved her time with her Grandaddy and PaPaw! How special.
I love you guys! Granbob

Don’t Worry, You Can Take the Squeakers Out.

Giving “the pitter-patter of little feet” a whole new meaning…

My sweet Mimi bought Bailey these Uniquely Squeaky shoes the other day when we were browsing in one of those pricey, head-straight-for-the-sale-rack children’s boutiques.  Oh, how I wish I had video capabilities in the store when she first tried these on.  The first squeak – she froze.  Her face was pure shock and I thought I was going to have to deal with some tears…but then her big bro started in with the giggles.  A slow grin came across Bailey’s face and she suddenly  took off!  She pranced, prissed, stomped and strutted around that little store for a solid 5 minutes, squeakers squealing.  Parker was literally in tears as he rolled around on the floor, purple-faced with laughter.  (oh, how that boy can get tickled!)  Mimi and I couldn’t help but join in.  It was a lovely, lovely moment between the three generations and I am grateful for the silly memory.  And for the adorable squeaky shoes, too.

I would love to have some of those for myself just to completely freak out my dogs!

That is too cute. You don’t need a macro lens that picture of those shoes is really nice. It reminds me of the typical bridal shoe shot. :)
