Has It Been That Long???

I have been busy and have let the blog slip. Sorry!!!
Memorial weekend we went to the lake.


Brianne had a little mishap with the sun block. One side of her face turned red and splotchy.

Tyler and daddy in the water. Mommy does not do lake or pond water. I don't like swimming with the fishes and snakes and everything else that is lurking in the water.

Brianne and I stayed on the grass, and she played with a bucket of water. She also got to participate in her favorite event.... eating.

Monkey see....

Monkey do....Everything Bubba does sissy must also do. She did not have a big horse to put behind her head but if you look closely there is a tiny dog. Bubba gets her in trouble alot. Well she repays him often.

Bubble time in the baby pool

Practicing karate

Again monkey see, monkey do..... Brianne is pretty good at imitating Brianne in the horse stance (a karate stance).

Week's Events

We went to the Cystic Fibrosis Walk Sunday 5/18. It was at the zoo so Tyler got to see the animals. Please remember if you forgot to give to this years walk you can donate now to the 2009 walk. It is such a hard disease to live with. Please put them on your list of people you donate to each year.


Tyler and Brianne at the walk

The beach trip has made Brianne a lover of hats and sunglasses. Lee was looking at boats (he now has boat fever), and he said she saw them and started doing the princess wave. During our boat ride she would wave at everyone that went by.

Tyler is taking karate on Thursday nights. He loves it. It is a good class because they are teaching him not to go with strangers and also what to do if someone grabs him.

This is after class tonight, and he got his first stripe.

Brianne's First Beach Trip

Over the weekend we went to Gulf Shores. We decided that since we were going to Spanish Fort for Nicholas' birthday party we would go to the beach. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures from the birthday party. We stayed down at the beach with Bebe and Granddaddy. This is the first time Brianne has been to the beach. She loved playing in the sand.


They both got sunglasses and life jackets for the boat. They both had to wear them in Walmart. I am sure people were walking by saying to themselves "crazy tourist."

Dont't be fooled by the cuteness.....

Daddy and Brianne

Tyler and Brenda (Bebe's sister)

Tyler wanted a crab but quickly decided he did not want to touch it.

Brianne looking at the crab walking away

Due to all of the jellyfish we could not swim in the water.

Brianne's first sea shell

Cool dude Tyler and Bebe

We had a really good time and hope to go back soon. Thanks for the weekend Bebe and Granddaddy!!

Last Day of School

For Tyler's last day of school the class went to the park for a picnic. We went to Buddy Watson Park, and boy was it wet. His school mate Bliss fell in the mud, and she loved it. She thought it was so cool she was running around showing the boys. (guess she is the tom boy of the bunch) Tyler also fell in the mud but he did not love it. Daddy and Brianne even got to come to the park with us.

The equipment at this park is not up to date and really had little to offer Brianne. Bliss is the one in the green shirt.

This is a picture of Tyler, Justin, and Brianne. Justin's mom approached me at the party and wanted our phone number because they are best buds. I did not know this. Tyler will not usually talk about school. I hope that she calls this summer, and we can get them together. Our next door neighbors (Jacob, 4yrs old and James, 3yrs old) are moving and this is very upsetting for Tyler.

Mother's Day

What did I do for Mother's Day? Lee was on call and was at the hospital all day. The kids and I were alone all day. We were just lazy all day long. The big question is what did Lee get me? He did not get me anything and I even gave him a big hint. I went to HHGregg on Friday and found what I wanted. Tyler went with me, and we got a card from the salesman and I coached (LOL) Tyler to tell his daddy that I wanted a robot from HHGregg that cleans the floor. Well did he go get it? NO!!! Instead on Saturday he tells me he hopes that I know what I want for MD b/c he looked all over Prattville and could not find me anything. I told him DUH I sent Tyler to you with a card with what I wanted. Next time I will use a hammer. Maybe I did not give enough of a hint.





My favorite and most special gift of all, a card and cup from my baby boy.

Oh, I went Monday night to Costco and bought my iRobot. Lee met me there. I think he felt bad.

Happy Mother's Day

Last weekend while we were at Maw and Granddaddy's house for their anniversary, we went ahead and gave Maw her mother's day gift. We made her stepping stones. One had Brianne's name, date and foot prints (she hates the cement so the hands were a no go). Tyler's had his name, date, and hand prints.



Brianne acting like it was all her idea and that she was not scared of the cement. Sure she will touch them now.

This weekend Granddaddy and Bebe came for Tyler's game on Saturday. He really has improved on hitting the ball. We took this time to give Bebe her mother's day gift. She also got stepping stones. We had a very good visit with Bebe and granddaddy. Tyler told Bebe that he loved her and that he had always wanted a Bebe.

We have not gotten Grandma her present yet. I bet she will not be able to guess what she is getting. LOL I will post pictures of her getting her present when we see her this weekend.

The Turtle, April 27, 2008

I forgot to post about the turtle we found Patches trying to kill. In the first video Tyler discovers Patches biting and tossing the turtle around.

If you listen closely Tyler is telling the turtle in the last video that he will never forget him. He is so dramatic!!

Although the turtle was hurt, there was a happy ending. We took him to the woods, and we went back later and he had walked off. Tyler had just been studying turtles at school so he took a picture for all his classmates to see. Oh and did Tyler want to keep the turtle? What do you think? We had to educate him on snapping turtles and on why the turtle would be unhappy in a cage.

This and That

It is definitely time for a haircut. I am sure it will not be many years, and he will no longer let me do this to him. Isn't he the cutest little boy you ever did see!!!!



Fake, fake, fake... Don't be fooled by the innocent looks.

Today we went to Wal Mart and bought Brianne big girl panties. She loves them, and she keeps lifting up her dress to show them to us. Unfortunately, she has already wet 2 pair. LOL

Great Granny Thompson Turns 92

Erma Dean Shehane was born May 6, 1916 to ............ and ............. On ......., she married Gaston Thompson. They had 3 children Leslie Dean, Gene, and Jane Elizabeth (Maw). Ok Maw you fill in the blanks for me. I am going to print this blog into a book for Tyler and Brianne so it would be nice to have some information about their Great Granny.

Our First Poo Poo in the Potty!!!!! May 5, 2008

Last week Brianne pee pee in the potty for the first time and tonight I got her to poo poo in the potty. Go Brianne!!!! I had to give her daa daas (marshmallows) for using the potty.


Isn't she cute with her two purses.

40 Year Anniversary

Guess who has been married for 40 years? May 3, 1968



Jane and Larry!!!!!!!!! We went down Saturday and ate dinner with Maw, Granddaddy, Aunt Pam, Uncle Mike, and Jacob.

Tyler got to feed the baby calf a bottle.

We also got to visit Granny Thompson and Aunt Martha.

Having Granny smell her feet. She still will not get very close to her.

Poor Aunt Martha.... Tyler thinks he does not weigh much.
