Konner & Friends

Konner has two friends from his preschool that he has become good buddies with. They each have been over here to play and we always seem to end up outside playing baseball. So here are a few pics to enjoy!


Konner, Jackson & Zac (of course)!

Buster

I just thought I would post some of these pics of Buster. I have been so busy lately, I haven't even had a chance to take some more good ones of Konner and Buster together!

You Have To See It To Believe It

We spent the day with family at a wonderful park by Aunt Susan and Uncle Bill's house yesterday. More pictures to come about that, but I just had to let you all see these first. No words can tell you better than these two pictures.


Johnny and Buster - I think it's love!

Buster

Hi everyone!!!! I just wanted to introduce to you our newest member of the family. We call him Buster!!! Much to my and Konner's surprise, Johnny agreed to let us get a new puppy. Thanks to Uncle Bill and Aunt Susan (and Luke of course!), we now have a wonderful, healthy, very intelligent and energetic yellow lab. He is a trooper! His first night with us was great. He is only 5 weeks old but handle the transition from his mama and siblings to our house and Zac with the bravery of the biggest of dogs! Lucky had no problems and is handling things fine. Zac, well let's just say he had issues the first night and a little the next day. Now, things are a lot better. Buster knows what to expect from Zac and most of the time stays out of his way. He is not a coward though, he has gone straight up to Zac and kissed him right on the mouth and lived to tell about it!
Konner is very excited and wakes up early EVERY morning to say good morning to Buster! He is really responsible now about picking up his toys so Buster doesn't swallow something that could hurt him. I am very proud of my little guy. It warms my heart to see how much he loves and cares for this puppy. Thank you again, Uncle Bill and Aunt Susan, for giving us such a wonderful gift! We will have many, many years of fun and excitement with Buster.

Carowinds 2008

Hi everyone!!! Kelly and I took the three musketeers to Carowinds yesterday and had a blast! We wanted to take Addy one more time before she went back home. I actually remembered to bring my camera, but didn't realize the battery was needing to be recharged. I managed to take a couple of cute shots though. I even was fortunate enough to ride with Addy on her first roller-coaster. I have a picture of that but will have to scan it and post it later!

Mom & Konner

You all know how much I hate getting my pictures made - so why I thought I could manage a good picture today - I don't know! But here is one that turned out half way decent.

We finally did it!!!!! We got a professional picture made of the four cousins today! This was quite the task though. I literally worked up a sweat trying to get everyone looking the same direction and smiling. It was worth it though because look at these pictures!!!
Konner did great - we had a lot of silly faces but managed to get some really cute ones too. Addy was a perfect little angel and sooooooo pretty! Nolan didn't feel very well and had been up since 5am, but we still managed to get him being his cute and adorable self. And then there is Carson. Well I think the little guy would be been fine with staying out of it all together, but didn't stand a chance with all of us women there! He was a trooper and let everyone hold him and managed to give us a few great shots. All in all, I am very pleased with the kids and the pictures we got! Enjoy.........

4th of July

We continued the tradition with going to Mike and Shannon's house again this year. We thought we were really prepared this time though. Konner still does not enjoy the loudness of the fireworks, so Johnny came up with a brillant idea to go get him some ear phones that people use at a firing range and let him where those at Mike and Shannon's house. So off I went to the sporting goods store to see what a could find. Luckily, I found a pair made for juniors. Long story short and $25.00 later we had a great setup! We arrived at Mike and Shannon's house on the fourth and things were going great. The noise didn't bother Konner as long as he had on the ear phones. Then, about ten o'clock, they started with the big fireworks and Konner comes running out to me screaming, "mommy, fix my ear phones; they broke!" I couldn't believe it. Just as we really needed them, they broke and were useless. So once again, I was stuck inside the house with a scared 3 year old and missed the fireworks!

We did have a wonderful time though. Thanks Mike and Shannon for a wonderful evening! The food and company was awesome!

Living the Good Life

Everyone has their own ideas about what "living the good life" means for them. For me, it means having a husband I love and who adores me and having a beautiful, healthy son living with our two dogs in a wonderful house. Of course, I'd be happy with the just the boy and the husband!

I hope you are "living the good life" too. Enjoy the pictures and the comments posted here. We live a pretty simple life but are making wonderful memories that we will treasure forever and hope will put a smile on your face too!
