Lots of Updates

We have been busy busy around our house these days. Mitchell is everywhere and very sneaky. Last week he decided it would be a great idea to hang out in Sophie's cage.

We also went to Bryce Prestage's birthday party at the Buffulo Park. Mitchell got to see monkeys, tigers, lions, alligators, snakes, giraffes and much more.

The giraffe 'Tall Boy' was HUGE and scared both me and Mitchell. Can't you see it on our faces! Look out for that 18 inch toungue.

And finally, Jon Paul and I just got back from 3 WONDERFULL nights at the Ritz-Carlton in Key Biscayne, FL. It is 20 minutes south of Miami Beach! Jon Paul's company won the trip and we were so excited to get to go! We missed Mitchell so much but it was a much needed break. I will post more pictures when I get them!

Congrats Mr. & Mrs. D-ROCK

This weekend was so much fun! We traveled down to Hattiesburg for the wedding festivities of Daniel Ross and Hailey Stiglets! Everything was so nice and we had a great time! Congratulations to the very happy couple! They are in Hawaii now! How fun!

Mitchell spent the weekend in Carthage with Happy & Pappy (Jon Paul's parents). This was him on the ride home. He was just as tired as Mommy and Daddy. Oh! and check out his new big boy carseat!

Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail!

It has been a long time since I have posted. We are all well and Mitchell had a wonderful first Easter. Below are some pictures from Easter morn and a few others from our Crawfish boil at Old Waverly a couple of weeks ago.

Mitchell actually reached and grabbed a crawfish. I was so suprised he actually got one in hand!
The bunny came!

Inspecting the contents!

He did not want to take a picture in his Easter outfit! He was so cute in it...it had bunnies across the front!Enjoying his new swing in his cool shades!

The fam ready for church!

Happy Birthday to Happy!....and a sick baby update

We want to wish Mrs. Linda Rhea, aka 'Happy' a very merry birthday today!

Mitchell was diagnosed with the FLU last Saturday. After a long day in the ER with IV fluids, x-rays, blood drawn, and more medicine to get the fever down...we were diagnosed with the FLU and a touch of pneumonia! RSV three weeks ago and now this sweet child has to have this! Bless his little heart. This is how I found him one night after I had given him some cherrios and was heating up dinner. He was too pooped to eat. Poor little guy but he is doing MUCH better now. We may venture out into the warm weather this week. He is tired of being cooped up.

Happy Birthday Sugar!......and snow

Today is my mom's birthday! We love you sugar!

I mangaged to get Mitchell looking out at the snow on the deck Sunday. By the time we actually got him dressed it was a melty mess, so I guess these will have to do for his first snow. He is army crawling all over the place these days. Soon Mommy and Daddy will not be able to sit still.

Baby You Can Drive My Car and RSV

Last week Mitchell was feeling great! On Thursday night we played around in the bathtub and put Mohawks in his hair. On Friday I took him to see Pop (my Dad) at work. Mitchell had a wonderful time playing on the showroom floor and ‘driving’ the cars. "Little Red Corvet"

On Saturday he was a little fussy but still okay. By Sunday he had an all out barking cough and sounded terrible. First thing Monday we went to the doctor’s office only to be diagnosed with RSV. Bless the sweet baby’s heart. He is such a trooper. We have been doing breathing treatments around the clock, every four hours. We have staying out of the hospital so far and he has slept well the past two nights. May I remind you that we have to be out of our house tomorrow! All I can say is “Thank the Lord above for both sets of grandparents and aunts.” Hopefully my next post will be about a sweet healthy boy who is moved in to his new house!

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Soemthing Blue

Life around our house has been crazy these days so my posts have been few and far between. This weekend Jon Paul and I went to Hattiesburg for an engagement party for Daniel Ross and Haley Stiglets. They are getting married in April and we are so excited for them! So, hence the wedding reference in the post title.

As for something old and something new…Jon Paul and I have sold our house and bought another one! It is 2 doors down from my parents and we are super excited. (Yes, I said super and yes, I said 2 doors down from my parents. It was Jon Paul’s idea. What can I say, I am a homebody and love it!) We are set to close on both houses on February 20. Here is the quick rundown. We decided to just put a sign in our yard and see what would happen on MLK day. Three days later on Thursday we got an offer! So…the packing begins. As for the borrowed…anyone have a trailer or a couple of hands we could borrowJ.

And for the BLUE….Mitchell turns 7 months today! He is such a cutie! Mommy and Daddy had a hard time leaving him in a different town this weekend! We were so excited to pick him up on Sunday. Here are a few updated pictures of him playing in the BLUE tug boat his cousins sent to him.
