Day 82

HIS

This is one of the outtakes from Tricia and Chamois' engagement pictures from this weekend. A little back story: Tricia and I have known each other for years. We were pregnant together and our boys are two days apart. She is one of my dearest friends and I would do anything in the world for her. So, she is getting married and we had the same thought at right about the same time of me doing her wedding photos. I went to their house on Saturday and had a great time. Tricia and Chamois are so in love. I mean, IN LOVE. I loved being around them and taking their pictures. They were such goof-balls and I loved it. Chamois loves her so much and it shows in just the way he acts when she walks into the room. They both light up like the fourth of July when they look at each other and I could talk about them all day. Congrats to them both. I love y'all. I can't wait till October.

Day 81

Cheeks Feets

There is something about baby feet that I love. There is nothing cuter than seeing the wrinkly feet of a small baby. I saw Cheeks this weekend and I had to get some shots of those precious feet.

Day 80

Still got those Cheeks!

I went to Jesup on Saturday to do my first ever engagement shoot with some friends and I got to see my sister. She had a couple visitors and I had to get pictures. Here is Mr. Levi again. AKA Cheeks. I love him so much. His cheeks are slowly going away though. He is thinning out and getting so big. I got the sweetest kisses from him and I cant wait to see him again.

Day 79

Spaghetti and Chocolate Cupcake

I love getting pictures of Arthur Jay after mealtime. He usually makes a huge mess, and tonight he didn't disappoint. I made spaghetti and meatballs. And Arthur Jay had a chocolate cupcake for dessert. I think he ate a little of the cake and licked off all the icing. He is such a sweet boy. I could look at this face all day, everyday. I am so honored to be his mother. The mother of a messy little monster.

Day 78

Meet Sweet-Pea

Introducing Ms. Sweet-Pea Cook. She was born Sunday evening at 9:25 pm after a semi-short labor by her mother Flower. Mrs. Cook and her sister Lisa said that all of Flower's babies had to be named after flowers, so I suggested Tulip and Sweet-Pea. Mrs. Cook decided that it would be Sweet-Pea. She came out and got cleaned up and was walking within minutes, and she hasn't stopped yet. I am in love with this little girl. There is something about her that I just love. Maybe Mrs. Cook will let us buy her, but if she doesn't, I know she will only be across the street. We love you Ms. Sweet-Pea!!

Day 77

And I'm ready too!

Arthur Jay is not the only one ready for football season! We have 21 days to go and I cannot wait! Roll Tide Roll!!

Day 76

Yes, he's ready

Football season starts in a matter of weeks and you can tell around this house. I bought this jersey for Arthur Jay while we were in Alabama. He read it and said "Alabama, number 1." I was so proud and I answer.."yes, that's right baby. Alabama is number 1." Roll Tide Roll!

Day 75

Everyday at Mrs. Cooks.

I love this picture. Mrs. Cook and all the "babies" sitting all around her. Copeland is near her head, then Arthur Jay, Madeleine and Harley. Everyone is drawn to her like a magnet. And she loves every minute of it.

Day 74

What's in the box?

Mrs. Cook bought six new baby chickens the other day. She was setting their house up and Arthur Jay and Madeleine stood guard over them. I loved watching her watch over the little ones.

Day 73

Freshly Hatched

Mrs. Cook recently bought an incubator and when we returned from Alabama, she had it full of eggs. This little chick is just a couple days old and I had to get a picture to share with everyone. They are the most precious babies ever. They are so fluffy and just full of spunk.

Day 72

Water Boys

This is another shot from Riley's party. Both of my guys love the water. Arthur Jay felt so big when he got to swim alone in the big pool. I was a nervous wreck, but he had on enough flotation devices that would have prevented the Titanic from going down. That, and his Daddy was right there too.

Day 71

Playing Possum

This is sweet Levi. I call him cheeks, and for good reason. He came to Riley's birthday and I got to get lots of sweet kisses from him. I wish I lived closer so I could see him more often. He is the sweetest little guy!

Day 70

Birthday Girl

Sweet Riley turned 6 on the 1st of August. She had a pool party and had the best time. I sure do love that sweet little lump. And she knows it too.

Day 69

Big Smiles

This is Arthur Jay's Great Aunt Diane. She lives in Alabama and Arthur Jay loves her, and her husband Uncle Craig, so much. We ate dinner at their house last night and he couldn't get enough of her. They helped raise me when I was about Arthur Jay's age and they will always hold a very special place in my heart. Roll Tide!

Day 68

Ride!

This is Arthur Jay, Ms. Ann and her grandson Bosie. That's pronounced Bo-zee. The boys were riding their bikes and they wanted Ann to ride with them. She didn't hesitate. I loved the look on her face. She was bound and determined to get on that bike and show those boys what she could do! Not too bad for being Bosie's GREAT grandmother!

Day 67

Swinging

We visited one of Nana's friends daughter's house today. She had her two grandsons over and Arthur Jay had so much fun playing with the boys. He is like any other little boy, he loves to swing. I loved seeing his face while he was on the swings. He was so happy.

Day 66

My Pecan Trees

While driving to Alabama today, I took the long route to drive through this small stretch on Highway 341, near Perry, Georgia. This has always been my favorite place in the world. The pecan trees are on both sides of the roads and at times they join together above the road to make a canopy. It's so beautiful.

Day 65

Mamas!

This is another picture from our reunion. This is Nicole, myself and Donna. These two girls are wonderful women and amazing mothers. I was so glad to see them both and I can't wait to catch up with them more!

Day 64

Happy Reunion

I went to my 1o year class reunion over the weekend and boy did they put on a great show! Our class President did an amazing job and we all had so much fun! In this picture is a some what new friend on the left, Kasondra and on the right is Mandy. She has been my best friend since the 6th grade. I love them both!!
