Nature Baby

Well, it looks like the Sisters have been soaking up some of God's creation this past week!

Henry had his first visit to the Nature Center. We are fortunate to live across the street from our local state park and the Nature Center. I have visited the Center several times, but never with my sweet little Henry. We met up with some friends and had a big time!

Henry loved soaking it all up. He ran from window to window, exhibit to exhibit and then he found the stairs and he was then forced to discover all his new surroundings from my hip!

He screamed, he was so excited! I love watching him explore new things. It makes me feel so blessed at moments like these to have had this extra time with him these past nine months.

Watching him woo the "snake man" into letting him touch the king snake was priceless. In this photo he has just touched it and was very proud of himself. He loved the "snake man" and wanted him to pick him up real bad. I was not so crazy about the man having a snake and my baby in his arms at the same time, so we went home soon after the snake petting and washed our hands.

I am having so much fun with my little curious fella and enjoying him still loving his mama like crazy. I know the time is coming where he will and needs to break away from me a little and cling to his daddy. His daddy is ready and waiting for that day too! Watching those two together melts my heart. Henry has a great role model on how to be a man, and for that I feel super thankful and blessed! (I have been listening to and reading A LOT of Dr. Dobson lately, if you can't tell!).

I love his outfit! How precious! I bet he had a blast! I would be on a chair if a snake came out. He tickles me being so close to it.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
