Dates with Jane Kimmel :)

With the wonderful free time I have this summer, outside of classes, I am taking full advantage of play dates with Jane Kimmel! During the semesters, we rarely get to have fun dates besides on the weekend, and that's just not enough time. This week, we went to see Toy Story 3 and also went to feed the ducks! Both were first timers for Jane Kimmel, and I must say she had a BLAST! We really missed DaDa joining in on the fun, but we 're going to take him next time we go :)! Here are some pictures of our play dates! We had such a fun time, and I can't believe she is 2.. umm where did the time go? She is no longer our "little baby." Instead, she is an adventurous toddler that will talk your ear off. It is always something new and exciting with her, and the things she says are just HILARIOUS! Anyway, yall enjoy the pictures and uploads of her 2nd Birthday are coming soon!


Loved this movie ( I cried haha)... Go see it!




She was ready!

She enjoyed her "kiddy packs" very much!


Cheez mommee!


So excited!!




I just had to get the "goofy" picture at the end of the movie... you know the awkward ones you look back on and are like "MOM... why did you make me do that" :)

Feeding the ducks


She had her bread ready.... we had practiced throwing it without getting to close :)

Then.... she started to chase them


If you all recall... "duck" was her first word :)


So cute with her bread :)



She did a really good job!
(shout out to GG, my grandmother! Just to let you know, I remember all the times when we were kids and you would take us to feed the ducks! Those are some of my best memories :) Love you GG!)

Wyatt Russell Williams!

I want to proudly announce the birth of Wyatt Russell Williams into the family! He is our first nephew, a pretty darn cute one at that! He is such a blessing to our family, and the most content little baby. He was born on May 7th, to the proud parents of Adam and Lauren Williams (my sister). Thanks be to God for sending us such precious miracles to fulfill the joys of life! Enjoy the pictures! As you can tell, Jane Kimmel was just smitten over him :)



















Stay tunned readers and followers! There are more pictures of the Zoo, summer, and swimming lessons to come!!!!

My "HANDY MAN"

Lewis and I have been making/selling frames for about two years now! The wood for the frames comes from Shellmound, which is tons of farmland that has been in his family since the 1800's. It is such a beautiful place, and really makes you feel like you are "down in the delta!" The wood came from old tenet houses that had been torn down, so Lewis just got a trailer full and we've been making them ever since. We do any size or color, and I also put my little touch on some of them which look precious in a child's room! Lew is the TALENT, I am just the PR for the work that he does :) Lewis is extremely talented with his hands. Although he might not think so, but HE IS! He does amazing work and is truly my little "handy man." I am so thankful that he enjoys working with his hands, and a definite pro is that I do NOT have to buy frames for our house! I will take more pictures of his upcoming work and post them for you all to look at! Enjoy the pictures and Happy Wednesday!!

Something new and different!

One of the crosses that he makes


My little touch to some of them :)
