Fishing at the Pond

Johnny decided one day to take Konner down to the pond out back and teach him how to fish. Needless to say, Konner LOVED this!!!!! He was actually catching the fish on his own within an hour. Now I am not one that likes to fish so I just went down to take a couple of pictures and came back up to the house to read and watch them from a distance. Konner would yell for me to look every time he caught a fish though. It was a great afternoon watching them fishing down there together!

Beach Trip 2009

Konner and I went down to the beach with a few other family members last week. Had a great time! This is the first time Konner has been to the beach and throughly enjoyed the whole experience! Usually, he doesn't like the sand and eventually the salt water. But this time he loved all of it! It was great to see him enjoy himself as much as he did!
We were right next the big pier in Garden City and so I took Konner for a walk down the pier. We were about half way down when I heard two guys talking about the sharks down there. I took Konner over to see if it were true and it was! They were big Sand Sharks. We saw at least three different ones - two big ones and one little one. It was scary to see them because they were hanging out only about a hundred yards (give or take) from where we were swimming! Needless to say - Konner and I did not go too far into the ocean water at all after that.
It was a good time but I was glad to get back home.

Father's Day

I hope all the dads out there had a wonderful day yesterday! We had a lazy day around the house most of the day. Konner was up at 6:30am excited to tell his daddy "Happy Father's Day" and give Johnny his surprise. That kid hates keeping a secret! Then we all went shopping for Johnny to get some new clothes. The poor guy hasn't bought anything for himself in forever so it was nice to see him get some nice stuff. Konner was very helpful in picking out outfits! We didn't always agree with his taste - but it was cute to see what he put together for his dad!
I finally figured out how to use the timer on my camera - so here is our Father's Day picture!

Lowes Motor Speedway

Memorial Day weekend is a big race weekend for Charlotte. Johnny and Uncle Mike decided to take Konner and Nolan to the big race on Sunday. Well as luck would have it - they got rained out and the race was rescheduled for the next day. The boys did get to see a lot of cool pre-race stuff though. Jets flying over head, parachute rs landing on the track, helicopters, big trucks trying to dry the track. In fact, Nolan, who is 3 yrs old, thought that he saw a truck race b/c they he never did get to see the NASCAR racecar go around the track! Konner was disappointed not to see his favorite drivers race. The next day looked a little better for a race, but unfortunately Uncle Mike and Nolan couldn't go back to the track, fortunately for me, they gave me their ticket and I was able to go with Johnny and Konner! We had a lot of fun. Konner did not like the loud noise of the cars racing by but quickly go use to it! His favorite, and mommy's too, Jimmie Johnson, was up front the entire time! We sat through one rain delay and watched the track dry, but when the second rain came - we decided to leave. Konner was already sleeping in my lap and had a lot of fun already so he didn't care. Thanks Mike for that ticket! I had fun with my guys!

Konner & "friends"

As you all maybe already know - Konner loves animals, especially dogs. He collect stuff animal dogs and loves to sleep with them. Right now I think he has 21 "friends" sleeping with him at night. We went over to my grandmother's to spend a couple of night with her while mom was out of town and Konner had to take all of them with us! I told him only two allowed in the bed tough or there wouldn't be room for me!

"Unc" & Aunt Terry

A few weeks ago "Unc" and Aunt Terry came to visit NC. Konner always loves to go see them and never wants them to leave! Here is a cute pic of the three of them!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is probably one of my favorite days! Being a mom is the most precious thing to me. Konner is such a wonderful child and I am very lucky and blessed to be his mom! My days are full of joy, happiness and laughter everyday now that he is with us.
We spent the morning with Johnny's parents and sister, Shannon(and her little family). We met for breakfast at Cracker Barrel - one of my favorite places to eat breakfast! Then we met up with Kim and Shawn to go visit mom. Unfortunately, mom had to work, but we still all marched into Walmart to say hello! We all planned on getting together later in the week to spend time together, but we couldn't let the day go by without seeing her!
After that quick visit, the three of us went home and took a long nap together! It was a rare moment that will probably never happen again since Konner is phasing out his naps now! Then we all got up and went out to dinner together! Perfect day for me. Just me and my guys - what more could a girl ask for?
