Dear Theophilus,

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere…

2010-11-13T17:14:00.001-06:00

I wish I was back in Cozumel...

The Jump Barn

2008-10-27T18:20:00.001-05:00

This used to be one of Mommy's favorite pasttimes. I think it is fun too! -Will

Slides at Mainstay Farm

2008-10-27T18:16:00.002-05:00

The first slide is on level one of the Three Story Treehouse. The second is huge! We think Papa needs one of these on his farm:-)

Pumpkin Patch at Mainstay Farms

2008-10-27T18:13:00.001-05:00

We didn't get any "put on the wall" pictures, but we had fun!

From Dear Theophilus 2008

Big Helper

2008-10-27T18:05:00.003-05:00

I was making a homemade book about helping for the break out session I taught a few weeks ago. This is just a few of the ways Will likes to help.

From Dear Theophilus 2008

We used the egg anyway!

Crabbie and the Green Sand

2008-09-01T21:12:00.004-05:00

Pop and Mema got me this fun Crabbie Sandbox. Mommy and Daddy let me pick out colored sand and I picked Green. I LOVE my sandbox. I could play for hours. Tonight mommy let me play while she finished reading a book she started before I was born. It was a beautiful evening. I enjoyed playing and Mommy enjoyed relaxing with her book in her new swing. Thanks Mema and Pop.

Trip To Nebraska

2008-07-21T20:55:00.001-05:00

Will enjoyed Papa's farm. The time went by too fast and we didn't have time to do everything we wanted to, but here are a few of the things we got to do. I can't find the photo of paddleboating at Grandma and Papa's pond. I think it's on Grandma's computer.

Swingset for the backyard

2008-07-14T20:32:00.000-05:00

Jimmy and Maw (from church) got me this swingset for mommy and daddy's housewarming shower. When Mema and Pop came to visit, it finally got put together. Here I am helping Pop and Daddy and testing out the swings.

Fun at the Children's Museum...

2008-07-06T22:36:00.003-05:00

We went to the children's museum during our family trip. I got to milk a cow!

The itsy-bitsy spider got me!

I'm pretending to be a helper ant in the big ant mound!

My what long legs I have!

Whoa! a T-Rex!

Baby's got a brand new (bed in a) bag...

2008-06-25T20:53:00.004-05:00

Will's room got a makeover. The Pooh Bears came down and the Thomas the Tank Engine's went up. Here is Will's new bedding.

Will likes his new stickers.

Even Pooh Bear likes Thomas the Train.

Cheery Cheerios...

2008-06-21T21:04:00.001-05:00

I can almost eat my cheerios all by myself.

Mommy is proud!

Hi-Yo-Silver...

2008-06-19T21:12:00.002-05:00

Will was excited to ride a horse at VBS.

nature in the quiet moments...

2008-06-18T21:07:00.001-05:00

I saw this grasshopper during a quiet moment at Vacation Bible School.

William, the Ee-bit Hunter...

2008-06-17T21:16:00.002-05:00

Look! An Ee-bit! An Ee-bit!

Come 'ere you little squirmer!

Where'd you go?

Life in the Shallow End...

2008-05-25T18:26:00.003-05:00

We were going to go to the water park today, but Paige's tummy was not feeling well. After a little while, we decided that we could blow up Will's new kiddie pool.

Sean and Will filling up the pool.

Stick'em up!

Daddy never lets me do this in the bathtub!

Yummmm. Sonic!

Aunt Julie beside the pool.

Cowtown Stockyards...

2008-05-24T18:21:00.001-05:00

We went to the Stockyards here in Fort Worth. Here is Sean as a cowboy.

We all had a great time pretending to be longhorns!

We met some cattle rustlers.

Paige is pretty in pink.

Ride'm Cowboy!

Attack of the paint monster...

2008-05-20T21:45:00.001-05:00

I love to paint.
(Especially myself)

Where's the Beef?...

2008-05-12T21:40:00.003-05:00

Yea! Teacakes! I love teacakes!

Where's the teacakes? I don't see them.

Hel-looo...Are there any teacakes in there?
Let's call Mema.

Changing of the Guard...

2008-05-09T21:12:00.004-05:00

Val got a new car (for Mother's Day...at least that is what she try to sell me on).

It's just her size and color.

But I fit in it also. Hopefully, we will be able to get in the upper 20s for MPG on the highway.

purple people eater, part trois

2008-04-29T22:05:00.000-05:00

I'm still hiding out from the vacuum cleaner. This time I've made a fort up on high ground. And this time...I'm taking the advice of Uncle Teddy. I've got a big stick!

(Ok, so the real story is that my ball game went into a rain delay for the vacuum cleaner. I'm just hanging out in my elevated dugout.)

Will at Work...

2008-04-28T21:59:00.002-05:00

Here I am exploring my creative side with a little bit of finger paint. Move over Picasso!

Now I am mowing the yard.
I bet your mower doesn't turn grass into bubbles like mine does!

Whew! Will work for teacakes!
hmm...how many more will fit in my mouth?...

Curious Will goes to the zoo...

2008-04-26T21:51:00.000-05:00

Here I am looking at an elephant. It has a big nose.

Here I am with the baby elephant bronze statue.

My favorite things at the zoo are the birds and the fish.

the rain in spain...

2008-04-18T21:17:00.007-05:00

The rain in Spain may fall gently on the plain...but not here in Texas. This is a pretty ominous looking cloud. We had a pretty severe super cell thunderstorm roll through last night.

We were under a Tornado Warning, so Val and Will took cover in our "bunker." It is our closet. They had story time and cookies.

I on the other hand was watching the storm. We had pretty strong wind and rain and intense hail. Fortunately, the hail was not as big as just a little bit west of here. In Mineral Wells, pretty much anything that was exposed got demolished by tennis to baseball size hail. The report is that all of the skylights at the Walmart were knocked out. Also, every car in the parking lot was totaled. There was also pictures of the hail from Weatherford. The hail was so thick that it looked like it had snowed.

xoxo...

2008-04-17T21:14:00.000-05:00

Pooh Bear is giving out kisses! Do you want one?

*Smooch*

money, money, money...

2008-04-15T21:11:00.000-05:00

Mommy and Daddy gave me their money from being raters for Arbitron Radio Ratings. I decided to save it!

praying...

2008-04-12T20:08:00.000-05:00

Dear God,
Thank you for...

my supper!

hello, hello...

2008-04-11T20:05:00.000-05:00

Calling Grandma and Mema...

I'm sleeping in my big boy bed!

Funny Faces...

2008-04-10T20:10:00.001-05:00

Roar!

Buzz!

Baa!

frogger...

2008-04-04T16:44:00.002-05:00

Will and several of the kids were chasing a toad last night after church. Will enjoyed chasing the poor amphibian. He laughed and squealed and said, "ee-bit, ee-bit!"

yucky medicine...

2008-03-24T07:30:00.001-05:00

I refuse to take my medicine!

Eggs and Bunnies...

2008-03-23T21:17:00.002-05:00

Will had a great time hunting Easter Eggs.

Will loves his Pooh Bear Basket. Thanks Grandma.

Will even got a little bit of unsolicited bunny love!

new boonie...

2008-03-22T21:32:00.001-05:00

Hey Pop, I've got a new fishing boonie hat!

puzzles and turtles...

2008-03-17T21:19:00.004-05:00

Will is becoming very good at his puzzles. He loves his Little Einsteins puzzle. It talks to him when he gets the pieces in place. He can also fly through his nine piece puzzle.

Will also likes to play with his turtle.

I'm a Silly Willy!
Thank you Mrs. Tonya for the turtle!

It is About Time...

2008-03-15T21:09:00.004-05:00

After visiting with a neighbor yesterday, we discovered that there is a park right down the street. The weather has warmed up and Will just wants to play outside. Since we're having a hard time finding anything cheap for the background, we visited the park. Hopefully we'll make lots more visits after Will and Mommy get home from school. This will allow Daddy to get more studying done.

The World of Crayons...

2008-03-01T21:05:00.000-06:00

I bought Will some washable crayons and some construction paper. He really enjoys to color with his crayons. His favorite is to find a smaller piece of paper and test out his fine motor skills. He does pretty well with the crayons. He's only colored on the TV, Frig., and floor a few times, but the washable crayons wiped right up. Thank you crayola!

Xtreme Jumping...

2008-01-26T22:44:00.000-06:00

Tonight, we took the youth to a great little place in Weatherford called JumpXtreme. It is a great play place for all ages, from toddlers to adults.

We had fun on the see-saw!

Will loved the slides!

Sometimes, we landed on our heads!

Bounce Houses are number one!
psst...Mommy and Daddy, this is where I want to have my birthday party!

Brunch and a nap...

2008-01-26T13:38:00.000-06:00

Will actually let us sleep in this morning. It was a great thing. So because we had such a late start, we just had brunch. Val fixed a great breakfast. We had sausage, biscuits, scrambled eggs, mayhaw jelly, and grits. Will really likes his grits!

Later, Will went down for a nap with both Pooh Bear and Braveheart.

hi yo silver, away...

2008-01-25T19:31:00.000-06:00

Today was Rodeo Day at Will's school. He went all dressed up in Cousin Sean's cowboy gear. It got here in the mail just in time! Thanks Aunt Julie and Uncle Chris! Here are some pictures.

Will on the saddle.

Will with his Sheriff stars!

Will and Daddy sharing some chips!

Bible Study Time...

2008-01-12T13:23:00.000-06:00

The last several evenings Will has wanted to be at Mommy's side all the time. In attempt to try to do some Bible Study, we decided to get Will's Bible out and let him have Bible Study with Mommy. So, here we are! His favorite part is when it is time to pray. He puts his little hands up to his face and jibber jabbers something that sounds like "Thank You, God" and other things that we can't understand.

Who's gonna ride your wild horses...

2007-12-28T19:32:00.000-06:00

I got distracted on my way to see "Aunt" Ella. (She's really Mema's Aunt, so I'm not really sure how to describe my relation to her.) Anyway, Mommy used to have a ton of fun as a kid riding these horses. This was the highlight of her long trip to the grocery store.

Here is all of us with Aunt Ella.

John Deere Boy...

2007-12-27T19:27:00.000-06:00

Pop got me a new John Deere hat. Now I'm ready to ride Papa's tractor.

Go Big Red...

2007-12-26T19:30:00.000-06:00

While Mommy and Daddy were out on a date, Pop and Mema got me a puppy! It is Clifford the Big Red Dog. I like to ride him around and pet my puppy.

Cookie Monster on Christmas Day...

2007-12-25T19:23:00.000-06:00

I became a Cookie Monster over Christmas. I love Mema's tea cakes! I would walk around the house with a cookie in each hand.

Mommy and Daddy and I had a great Christmas in Georgia. You can see what Santa left us behind me. I like my Georgia Bull"puppy" sweatshirt the best!

Peek-a-boo, II

2007-11-08T20:32:00.000-06:00

Mommy! Daddy! Come and find me!

Here I am!

Peek-a-boo

2007-11-02T21:30:00.000-05:00

Where's Daddy and Will?

There they are!

Happy Halloween Reformation Day!

2007-11-01T00:25:00.000-05:00

I went as Pooh Bear to the hayride tonight! Here I am enjoying a dum-dum sucker. I really like those little things!

By the end of the night, I was one sticky and sleepy Pooh Bear.

9 out of 10 dentists agree...

2007-10-30T17:51:00.000-05:00

Valerie stepped out of the room for just a second. Upon her return, she found Will in the bathroom brushing his teeth. This ought to be enough to make any dentist proud.

water play...

2007-10-29T17:48:00.000-05:00

This is fun Mommy!

Someday, I'm gonna get you with the water hose Mommy!

thanks...

2007-10-27T17:06:00.000-05:00

Thank you Sean and Paige for the tricycle!

Thank you Aunt Julie for the clothes. Now I'm ready to go play outside in the cold.

I'm just so darn cute!

Thank you Pop for the wagon!

Thank you Mema for the flowers!

Fun in the Pumpkin Patch...

2007-10-25T17:02:00.000-05:00

Here I am in the pumpkin patch. I've picked me out a pumpkin just my size!

Here you go Daddy! Hold my pumpkin.

Oh dear! I'm not sure I can get this one up?!

Mommy and Pooh and Pooh...

2007-10-15T20:16:00.000-05:00

Here are Mommy and her little Pooh Bear that she loves to snuggle up with! Oh and look, her little Pooh Bear has a little Pooh Bear of his own!

flashlight fun...

2007-10-09T21:17:00.000-05:00

Here are just two shots from my light study project that I captured with my camera last night. The first one is a composite of several shots. The second is just a single shot. I think this "painting with light" technique is pretty fun. You can see some other shots from this set here.

hot rods...

2007-10-02T20:07:00.001-05:00

Will found my old pine-wood derby cars from back in my Cub/Boy Scouts days. They just turned up in all of the moving. I'm not sure that Will is totally appreciating the aerodynamic design that Pop and I put into these cars. Check out the air-foil that we put into the wood! Both of these cars were good designs. In fact the near one is an undefeated champion.

purple people eater, part II...

2007-10-01T20:00:00.000-05:00

As you may remember from a previous post, Will is afraid of the vacuum cleaner. However, he is much braver around it when he has his ball-popper. He half mimicked Valerie in vacuuming the floor and half used the ball-popper as a defensive weapon against the evil purple people eater. He kept ramming the vacuum with the popper, but then he'd run away. Anyway, he is getting a little better with the vacuum.

saturday alone with daddy...

2007-09-29T23:54:00.000-05:00

More cheese please!

Will wasn't really interested in his turkey sandwich. He took it apart and ate just the cheese. In this picture you can see him signing "please."

Now I can reach the top of the sofa!

I used to put the remote control on the top of the sofa so that it would be out of his reach. However, he is a pretty clever little boy. He pushed his firetruck over all by himself and stood on top of it.

chiquita banana boy...

2007-09-28T19:50:00.000-05:00

I'm a Chiquita Banana boy!

Fahrenheit 78 degrees...

2007-09-27T19:48:00.000-05:00

Sometimes, it gets kinda warm in my classroom.

Cuddle bugs...

2007-09-19T22:05:00.000-05:00

Mommy thinks that Will is going to sleep with us tonight...I'll just have to move him after she goes to sleep.

green, white and blue...

2007-09-18T22:07:00.000-05:00

Here is a picture of our new bedroom. This is called Koi Pond green.

Valerie decided to paint the bathroom. She also left a little bit of graffiti on the wall.

Here is Will's room. It is "Lauren's Surprise" blue. We aren't real sure that we are going to like this color.

welcome home...

2007-09-13T21:04:00.000-05:00

Well, as of 2 pm today, Valerie and I are officially homeowners for the first time. It is kinda exciting. It kinda hasn't really struck me yet. It kinda is going to be a lot of work here for the next 2 weeks (and beyond)!

Chem-tastic!

2007-09-10T15:30:00.000-05:00

We did an experiment on the density of liquids today at school. Here we have water (on top), dish soap (in the middle) and cane syrup (on bottom).

The water was actually colored blue, as you can tell from the bit that was spilled in the foreground. But it has turned green because of the yellow soap that we poured on top of it.

Happy feet...

2007-09-01T16:11:00.000-05:00

I've got my new shoes, my Husker football jersey, and my mommy! Aren't my new shoes cool. They lace up, just like Daddy's shoes! I'm becoming a big boy.

(Although you can't tell, Will had been vomiting all day. He started out the morning in his Georgia Bulldogs outfit before ralphing all over it and Daddy.)

William the Destroyer...

2007-08-21T22:28:00.000-05:00

My name is William the Destroyer. I operate on the power of entropy and leave a trail of chaos!

I climb into laundry baskets and throw it's contents onto the floor.

And when I'm done, I make myself cozy and relax in the satisfaction of the terrible destruction that I left in my wake!

And if Daddy catches me in the act, then I just smile and remind him that I'm a sweet little boy!

first day of school...

2007-08-20T22:24:00.000-05:00

Today was Will's first day in his new room at school. He has some new friends, new teachers (see picture), and (most importantly) new toys!

Valerie dropped in on his room today. He didn't even want her to pick him up. He just took her around the room pointing at all the new stuff.

snip, snip...

2007-08-15T21:55:00.000-05:00

I got my first haircut today. I sat very still and was a good boy. Thank you Mrs. Amy!

silly sleeper with funny feet...

2007-08-14T14:32:00.000-05:00

We've been letting Will sleep without his sleep sack the last couple of nights. We've been finding him in some very interesting positions. This is one of the funniest.

sleeping with Pooh...

2007-08-02T20:21:00.000-05:00

I love to sleep with my Pooh Bear and Pooh pillow.
I snuggle up and go right to sleep!

holy faith...

2007-07-27T18:58:00.000-05:00

People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
among the loved the most

There ain't no room
for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just
To save his own
Have pity on those
whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Throne

So people get ready
for the train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
you just get on board !
All you need is faith
to hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
you just thank, you just thank the Lord

I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
this time I'm ready
this time I'm ready

- Curtis Mayfield, 1963

The photographer was not in any danger at any point of time during the capture of this scene, although it sure looks like it!

cool goggles...

2007-07-26T19:56:00.000-05:00

Let's go swimming Mommy!

late birthday...

2007-07-14T22:07:00.000-05:00

I liked my firetruck cookie-cake!

Happy Birthday to me!

Yay!

Here Daddy! Have some cookie!

Cool! Train connecting blocks!

I love my Pooh Bear pillow.

Camp photos...

Fairview Baptist @ Camp Copass

The recent rains has really raised the lake levels at Camp. These crosses used to be about 30 feet from the shore.

These are critters from around camp.

Feliz cumpleanos...

2007-07-11T00:38:00.000-05:00

Happy 1st birthday Will!

O' say can you see...

2007-07-05T00:56:00.000-05:00

You woke me up for this?

early birthday...

2007-07-01T17:09:00.000-05:00

Yay! A present!

Hey, what is in there?

What am I supposed to do with this?

The piggy goes there Mommy!

Look Alike?

2007-06-30T22:25:00.000-05:00

I think Will finally looks a little bit like his Mommy!

To Pop and Papa with love...

panorama...

2007-06-05T21:38:00.001-05:00

Here is a panorama I constructed from several shots I took at Red Rocks. It is actually much much bigger than shown here. If you want to see the whole thing, just click on the picture and then download the full version from my picassaweb page.

Two hearts beat as one...

2007-05-27T19:47:00.001-05:00

It was my honor and pleasure to marry my sister-in-law Ashley today. The ceremony took place just outside of Denver, Colorado at the Red Rocks amphitheater. As you can tell the venue was simply a spectacular example of God's beautiful creation. The weather was great, although I did get sunburned. The ceremony went of mostly without a noticeable hitch. (I did inadvertently skip over a song, but it turned out for the best...we were running short on time.) Overall, it was a beautiful wedding. Thanks to Ashley and Travis for trusting me enough to be my first wedding to perform. I love you guys.

(As an aside, I was particularly excited about going to Red Rocks as a U2 fan. They recorded a live album there in 1983 called Under a Blood Red Sky. Also, the title of this post, Two Hearts Beat As One, is from a song that was performed on that tour.)

splish, splash...

2007-05-26T19:42:00.000-05:00

We are all in Denver this weekend for Aunt Ashley's wedding. We are staying at a Holiday Inn. They have an indoor swimming pool. Mommy took me swimming with cousin Sierra! I really like the water. I can't wait to go more this summer.

For everything there is a season...

2007-05-20T16:39:00.000-05:00

1Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:

2Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

10Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, 11and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

12So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. 13I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, 14because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.

16We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."^[a] 18We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.

19And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
I Peter I:I-IXX

My dear ones, I want you to hold this book of Scripture near to you. It contains holy Writ. Guard them in your heart, and you heart will be guarded from the evil one. As Peter said, this book has come from God and tells you of his great promises and the content of your faith. I also pray that you will add to your faith the virtues that Peter lists. Never forget that you have not been deceived with cleverly invented stories. May the Holy Spirit convince you of that. Lastly, I pray with Peter, that you will continue in what you have begun and that you will make your calling and election sure.

May God bless you and keep you. May His Face shine upon you. May you never turn to the right or to the left from Him.

I charge you with this, in the presence of the assembled body of Christ and before the risen Lord Jesus himself on this 20^th day of May, in the year of our Lord 2007.

Chubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff...

2007-05-08T22:05:00.000-05:00

I love my Pooh-Bear. He's a chubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff. I especially like to chew on his nose and ears. Daddy and Mommy caught me cuddling with my silly willy nilly ol' bear.

Buy me some peanuts and cracker-jacks...

2007-05-05T00:56:00.000-05:00

Today, I went to my very first professional baseball game! The Texas Rangers faced off against the Toronto Blue Jays. I was very excited to be there. Daddy even got me a miniature Rangers batting helmet.

Here is a picture of Mark Texiera getting a single. Big Tex and Daddy had an English class together back at Georgia Tech.

Here is a picture of Hank Blalock hitting a homerun. This was my first homerun.

I can't wait to go the ball game again!

Wild Wild West (Weather)...

2007-05-02T22:54:00.000-05:00

Well, I think the drought in Texas is officially over. We've been having strong storms about every 3 days for last 3 weeks.

Tonight, we had perhaps the worst weather at our house. We had very strong winds and exceptionally heavy winds. There was also perhaps the worst street flooding yet.

We ended up losing power for a few hours. Thankfully it came back just at bed time. It looks like I won't have to sweat tonight.

Birthdays and tea cakes...

2007-05-01T22:35:00.000-05:00

Today is my birthday! Mema sent me some tea cakes in lieu of an actual cake. (In response, Valerie sang "Happy Birthday" to herself! She really likes the tea cakes.)

But more importantly, Will finally had his first tea cake. He really enjoyed it as you can clearly see. All he left was crumbs on his chin.

Update: Valerie has decided that Will can't have anymore tea cakes. He woke up several times last night with the screams. He almost always sleeps all night without much fuss.

Helping out...

2007-04-28T22:26:00.000-05:00

I'm a big helper! I like to help with the dishes.

Here Mommy, You forgot something. I'll put it in for you.

I also like to help Mommy read her Bible!

Sippy...

2007-04-25T22:21:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. I wanted to let you know that I'm starting to use my very own sippy-cup!

Look at me!...

2007-04-24T09:28:00.000-05:00

Will is a cute cute boy in his baseball overall shorts. He wants to tell you that he loves you and wants you to come visit him.

Deep in the Heart of Texas...

2007-04-23T22:11:00.000-05:00

The blue bonnets are blooming.

Easter outfit, finally...

2007-04-22T23:53:00.000-05:00

Well, we finally got to dress Will in his Easter best. He did not get to wear it on Easter b/c it snowed on that day, and as you can tell, it ain't exactly winter gear. Anyway, Will was very cute in his little boy blues and dress shoes.

Huntin' Eggs...

2007-04-08T22:01:00.000-05:00

It was so cold outside today! It snowed yesterday! So, I had to hunt for my eggs inside. I like my Easter Eggs.

To Sleep or Not to Sleep...

2007-04-07T22:37:00.000-05:00

You would think that after 2 hours at the zoo in cool weather and then another hour of play at home, on top of the hour that it took to head to the zoo after his morning nap (4 hours total) that Little Man would be exhausted and ready for a nap!! Does he look tired to you?
(please disregard the dust on his crib...I can't believe it is that dusty. I had never noticed it before looking at this photo...hehe...guess we need to call in the Merry Maids)

Ain't No Hole Small Enough...

2007-04-06T22:49:00.000-05:00

to keep me from crawling through.

A Few of My Favoirte Things...

2007-04-06T22:41:00.000-05:00

These were a couple of Will's favorite things at the zoo...

Watching the fans and the people.

A Day at the Zoo....

2007-04-06T22:34:00.000-05:00

Today we took Will to the Fort Worth Zoo to admire some of God's most unique animals. Jeff and I enjoyed the Lions the most. The Lion reminds us of our Great and Majestic God. Will's favorite was probably the flamingos. He enjoyed listening to them and looking at their bright pink bodies. They were also the closest in proximity to us. The other animals were all pretty far away.

Peek-a-boo...

2007-04-06T22:22:00.000-05:00

Peek-a

Boo

Let's play!...

2007-03-29T21:26:00.000-05:00

I found Daddy's racquet today. I'm ready to go play!

Pleaassee!...

2007-03-29T21:24:00.000-05:00

What do you mean Daddy? Why can't I have one? They are so pretty and orange. Pleeeaaassseee!

Purple People Eater...

2007-03-26T21:21:00.000-05:00

I don't like the vacuum cleaner! It makes scary noises that causes me to cry! I run away from the big purple people eater!

New Toy...

2007-03-22T21:18:00.000-05:00

Mommy got me a new Leap Frog musical toy. She spent all of the money that she got from teaching her preschool music training. It is really fun. It teaches me colors, numbers, letters, shapes, textures, music, and best of all...how to slam dunk a ball!
