Helping Mommy in the kitchen

"Here Mom, I will get you some pots and pans!""Look at this baby in the dishwasher! He looks just like me!"

More pics of our wonderful trip to Kansas...

Got to spend time with Great Grandpa and Jennette. We also went to the park but Mom forgot the camera;)Aunt Manda was fun too! I also tried to eat her face, but she forgave me because I am so cute!
Sue wanted to keep me...even after I threw a Petty fit;)
Couldn't get enough puppy love...Or mommy love...
Or Grandma love...
Had a blast and can't wait to go back!

Playing in the pool at Grandmas

Austin and his Great Great Grandma Petty

Riding on Grandma Petty's walker is so much funIt sure taste's good too!

We went to the Petty girls lunch
We all had a great time and great food!
Should have warned the little guy that he is no match for the Petty women. He was so pooped:) Although, he wore us all out too.
Getting the 5th generation picture was definitely a labor of love

Kansas fun!

Hey Kansas! We'll see you tomorrow!

The calm between two storms

Yesterday marked the day Johnny died 2 years ago and tomorrow marks the day Andi was killed 10 years ago. I find myself feeling so numb today. I have this urge to just talk with Johnny and hold Andi. I want to tell Johnny how beautiful Alana and Jack are. How funny it is when Jack says "truck". I want to talk about football season, grilling out, our sons swimming in the pool. I want to tell him how upset Keith was when he had to pay for a hair cut (they have been cutting each others hair since high school). I want to hear his always funny thoughts on the economy, President Obama and the new Auburn coach. I want to hold Andi and tell her how strong her mother is, how Mel is going to be the most beautiful bride this Fall, how Kristen has grown into such a fabulous woman. I want to tell her how much I wish she could play with Austin and see how he has our Petty sense of humor already (and temper;) I miss them so much. Sorry to be so depressing today. On a more uplifting note I am getting really excited to see everyone in Kansas next week. There has been a slight change of plans but Austin and I will still be there all week. Love you all so much.

The rest of my Mother's Day

He loves his Mommy!

Keith and Dude Buddy made quite the Mother's Day spread. We had sirloin, shrimp and scallops kabobs, squash, baked potatoes, lobster tail and a ice cream cake for Gagaws birthday!
Ericka brought the gang over to come visit. Austin really enjoyed playing ball with them.

My first Mother's Day

I told Keith that all I wanted for Mother's Day was for the pool to be ready. So he and Paul cleaned it out and Matt came over just in time to "help" fill it. Let me remind you how cold water straight from the hose is;)

This is my "Baby Daddy"

Paul is wore out from cleaning the pool out Here comes Matthew This is the deep end of our pool. It's about 10', and these two yahoos are lounging in it A little cold!!!I just asked them how they were going to get out and they both laughed and said "we didn't really think about that" I wish I would have been there to see it. Apparently, it was a group effort;) Gagaw just prays that Austin isn't taking notes. Paul is taking blackmail pictures;)

Dr appointment

We had our 9 month check-up today and we have a tiny ear infection in the left ear;( Austin weighed in at 17.15lbs and is 28" long. The Dr would like for him to weigh a little more. We had to have 2 shots and they drew blood to check his iron (which is fine by the way). So, needless to say we were a little wore out...

Busy, busy weekend

Matt and Jessica came to visit

We went to see baby Logan
