Keep scrolling down for 2 new posts!

Catch Up...and way too many photos

Here's the Long Story Short...
Wil Franklin had his first booboo...he fell and bumped his head and got a pretty good goose egg...I think mommy cried more than Wil Franklin. Can you see it on the left?

Wil Franklin started solid foods. We LOVE sweet potatoes, carrots, applesauce, and pears. We HATE sweet peas!!!

Matt had his first FATHER's DAy. Look how sweet!!!



Me and my daddy on Father's Day...(This was the day after Whitney's wedding...we are ALL exhausted)!

And then there was Whitney's Wedding...

Disclaimer: these photos are ALL out of order. Which really stresses this OCD girl out. I am so frustrated with Blogger right now I don't know what to do! But here they are anyway...I'll try to let you know what they are.

Wil Franklin was the CUTEST ring baby there ever was. My dad pulled him down in the wagon and he dropped off the pillow to the other Ring Bearer and then he was wheeled out...I LOVED it. He kinda stole the show...until the bride came down, I guess...
Whit and Uncle D leaving the wedding...

These are all photos from facebook so sorry if they are not that clear. As soon as I get copies of photos, I'll post some better ones. Whitney was the most beautiful bride. I have never seen her look more beautiful...and everything came off without a hitch. It was wonderful!

Catch Up Post 1: Wil Franklin at the Beach

Ok so apparently you are not able to move your pictures around anymore when you are composing your blog...so until I figure out how to upload exactly where I want the photos, I'll just have to do several short posts. Sorry! Not my first choice! If anyone knows how to fix it or override it somehow, please let me know..it is MOST frustrating!

We took Wil Franklin to the beach for the first time with Brooke and Hays. Here are some of the photos...isn't he just the cutest thing????

I'm BAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

I have been working on a very long post to catch you all up on what has been going on. It has been the busiest month of possibly my life. SO many things have happened that are blog worthy. I have uploaded all the photos, but blogger is being stupid and I am having some posting problems.
I'm working on it, so stay tuned.

Chattanooga & Mother's Day!

FIRST OF ALL....NEWS FLASH...WIL FRANKLIN HAS TWO TEETH!
The two front bottom center teeth have peeked through the skin. My lil man is growing up. Poor thing he has been in so much pain.

So Whitney had two wedding showers in Chattanooga last weekend, plus it was her birthday. Wil Franklin, Mom, Dad and I headed up there to be with her. We had a great time although it was a VERY long trip for Wil Franklin. Check out his face below...
Mom teaches 2nd grade and they read a book about Flat Stanley who gets flattened by a bulletin board, but he was ok. So his parents decide to stick him in an envelope (because he fits) and mail him to all these cool places. So all the kids in her class colored a "Flat Stanley" and mailed them to their relatives and asked them to send back pictures of places where he had been. So Whitney is holding Wil Franklin and Flat Stanley in this photo because we took him to Chattanooga...

Here's Mom and Wil Franklin at one of the showers...

And then....It was Mother's Day! Matt came and met us in Ecru to be there for Mother's Day. He was too sweet for my FIRST. I had a card from him, a card from Wil Franklin, AWESOME gold and pearl earrings from Junikers, a corsage, a candle from Wil Franklin and my daddy gave me some roses. It was a great day. Here we are at church.

Me and my little man...thank you thank you for making me a mommy! I have loved every minute of being your mommy!

Me and all my loot!

Me and my mommy...I hope to be just like her...she's the BEST!!!

Wil Franklin with Mimi and Granddaddy...

Wil Franklin's CUTE outfit...I have been dying for him to wear this outfit. I love it...and check out his too cute little shoes...

And for your viewing pleasure...cereal shots...I LOVE cereal time. He always looks too funny! This time I gave him the spoon to hold and suck on...funny!

Whitney had a Lingerie shower today that was so nice and such a sweet group of girls. Can't wait to share photos of that with you. It was a little hard for me to buy lingerie for my baby sister.

Tomorrow is mine and Matt's 7 Year anniversary. What a wonderful seven years. Matt I love you more than life. You are a wonderful husband, the best daddy, and I am so happy to be spending this lifetime with you. Happy 7 Years! Special post about my sweet husband coming soon.

Easter 2009 & New Babies!!!

This year was obviously Wil Franklin's first Easter. I was so excited because Easter is my FAVORITE!! Easter was always so special in my family. We never did the Easter Bunny or things like that. We always knew exactly what we were celebrating. We did get candy and we had an occasional egg hunt, but mostly my parents focused on giving us a lamb every year to remember how Christ was the sacrificial lamb for us. Sometimes it was a stuffed lamb, sometimes a chocolate lamb, sometimes lamb jewelry...it was different every year. I couldn't wait to give Wil Franklin his first lamb and carry on the tradition. We had a great weekend with my parents and then headed back to Jackson to spend Easter dinner with Matt's family.
Here's a shot of Wil Franklin in one of my favorite outfits...way too cute!
Easter Sunday Morning...
Granddaddy and Wil Franklin. He took him up to the pulpit during the service and did the prayer while he was holding him...way too cute!
And we had to have one silly bunny photo...
Easter was great! Only we missed Aunt Whit Whit being there for Sunday morning. Maybe next year.
Also this week two special people in our lives have had baby boys. Lee and Crystal Stringer, our small group leaders, had Deacon Joseph Stringer on Wednesday.
Then on Thursday one of my best friends, Mamie Courtney Taylor, and her husband Zach had Grant Charles Taylor. I got to be there when he was born...it was SO awesome. Both of these girls did excellent and mommies and babies are doing great! I haven't had my photo shoot with Deacon yet, but here is a snapshot of me and baby Grant. LOve him to pieces!

I can't believe how little they are compared to my big boy Wil Franklin. It was just yesterday that he was that small! I think he is growing up too fast. AHHHHHH!!!! Anyway...congrats to these two families. Your babies are just beautiful and we are so happy for you.
