My Little Swimmer

 Daniel waiting on the side while the instructor works with his swim partner.

 Keeping that precious head above water!

 He has his swim aid float on but he did so well in the class that the instructor took one padding layer off! That means he has to use his arms and legs more!

 Poor thing-the chlorine was not kind to his eyes!

Kendra was happy that Daddy could get off work to see Daniel's last swimming lesson! Daddy actually got to come to 3 of his 10 lessons!

Daniel jumping off the diving board and swimming!  He learned so much in 10 days of lessons! He graduated to Level 2! I'm so proud of him! I think that he's a fish in the making!! Note my exquisite talent at videography when you watch this video! At least you get to see a close up of the floor and Kendra's shoe!

Little Kendra Brooke Turns 3!!!

 Good Morning Birthday Girl!!

 Posing for a picture with her yearly birthday number shirt! That's quite some hair going on there girl!

 Blowing out her candle on the pitiful little cake I made her(she also had cupcakes at her little party so we didn't have a big cake).

 Clowning around with her big brother!

 Her big birthday gift--a dollhouse!!

Kendra at 5 days old--she looks a bit different now! But she will always be my baby girl! Happy Birthday to my little girl with a gigantic personality--you are fiesty, fun, full of humor(I adore your laugh!), silly, a MAJOR Drama Queen, whiny(especially without a nap!), smart, talkative, sweet, girly, beautiful, friendly and generally wonderful and amazing! I love you more than words can say! You are a LOT of work but worth every minute! I'm so blessed that I'm your Mommy!

Oh, The Places You'll Go!!!

Congratulations to my sweet baby niece who is now a high school graduate. She finished high school with straight A's, a 4.3 grade point average and as a member of the National Honor Society and a NC Scholar. I am so proud of her..not just of her accomplishments but of the sweet,kind and loving person she has grown up to be. I am so lucky to be her "Aint Daybee" as she used to call me! And I will ALWAYS be "Aint Daybee" ! Oh, the places you'll go my sweet girl!! Your life has just begun--I'm so glad to be a part of it!! Now, let's go shopping for your dorm room!!!

My Little Boy

This is Daniel's preschool picture taken on May 3, 2011. As his mother, I must say that there could be no more precious little boy in all the world! I can't believe that his preschool years are over! Now its on to Transitional Kindergarten! But before school starts we are going to have a fun summer with lots of playing and going to the pool! Love my little man!

Scan of the Day!

Little me! I'm guessing around age 3--there was no date on the picture! I love it cause Kendra has her hair like this now!

Random Picture of the Day!

I loved this little outfit on her! Isn't she the prettiest baby girl in the whole world? Be still my heart!!

Daniel Turns 5!!

Daniel at circle time trying not to act too excited that Mommy came with cupcakes!

Kendra sat down at circle time too!!

 My big one day from being 5 years old boy!

 Kendra just sat down like she belonged there!! I think she's ready for preschool!

Daniel's giant chocolate chip cookie with the dinosaur that Daddy drew on it with icing. Note that Kendra is in underwear--we are working on potty training! Note also the lovely smudge from the camera lens right about where my face is!

 My precious freckle-nosed boy!

 Daddy and Kendra at Chick Fil A. That's a lovely forced smile my girl has! We asked Daniel where he would like to go eat for his birthday-of course it was Chick Fil A! We are there so often that the employees know us by name!

 Then we went to Bumper Jumpers! Wheeeee!

 And Kendra climbed one of the big giant ones all by herself! My spirited and determined little girl!
