About Me

My photo
I am a mother of two great and very different little girls and a wife of a great man. We try to live our lives to glorify God. Hendersonville, TN (just north of Nashville)is where we call home. John and I both love SEC football...just two different teams. Baseball is my favorite, especially the St. Louis Cardinals. We both cherish those close to us and strive to love God to our best ability daily.

Kelsey is SIX months!!!

When I look back over the last 6 months, I cannot believe how our lives have changed (for the better of course). Our little girl has already taught us so many things in her short life. We are blessed beyond what we deserve. I, nor John, can believe that 6 whole months have past. And in 6 more we will be hosting her first birthday!!!


It is getting harder to take the monthly pictures!


Beautiful baby girl


I think she know what to do for the camera now.


We love you, Kelsey Lynn!!

- 15 lbs 2 oz, 25.5 inches long
-You are still as happy as ever.
- You sleep like a champ (given those few nights you will wake up and just need a pat on the back to go back to sleep)
- You take 2 naps a day. An hour in the morning around 8:30 and then a couple of hours at noon. Every now and then you will take 30 min. or so around 4:30 p.m. You usually go down to sleep around 7:00 or 7:30 p.m.
- You eat a bottle at 6 oz 6:00 a.m. when you wake up, cereal and a 4 0z bottle at 10:00 a.m., 6-8 oz bottle at 2:00 p.m., veggies and cereal at 6:00 p.m. and a 6oz bottle at bed time.
- You are in size 2 diapers and still wear 3-6 mo. clothes.
- You smile at anyone that walks in the room.
- You ROLL AROUND LIKE CRAZY!!! You can go from one end of the room to the other very quick.
- You love your daddy!!! He makes you laugh all the time (mommy isn't so good at getting you to laugh).
- You love your toes!! You no long take a paci (and haven't for a couple of months), but you would think your big toe serves as one.
- You suck your thumb when you are tired and when you go to sleep.
- You are alot like mommy already...not only do you look like me, but Daddy says you are just like me. I don't know if that is good or bad for Daddy. He now had two stubborn girls to mess with. :-)

Meeting Baby Weston

Before we left Hendersonville on our last visit, we HAD to meet baby Weston. He was almost 6 weeks and Kelsey was almost 6 months. It is amazing how different they our is such a small amount of time.

Weston is adorable of course and his momma (Andrea) is beautiful. It was great to see them!!!


Being a ham for the camera before we left for lunch.


this is the best we could do with the kids. Andrea and I have came along way since elementary school!!


I just liked this pic.


Getting ready to leave. They don't know it yet, but one day they will be married. :-)

Molly's Graduation Party

A few weeks ago we went to Hendersonville for several "events". One was Molly's (my cousin) graduation party. She just graduated from University of Tennessee with a degree in Business Management!! Go MO!! She also scored a great job that she is very excited about. We are very proud of her.

We all went swimming (well I didn't really b/c I left my suit in St. Louis). I did enough to make sure I was there for Kelsey's first swim. SHE LOVED IT!! She even would go under water and thought it was so fun!!


With Mommy before getting in.

MO Botanical Gardens

Mother's Day weekend (yes a while back) I told John I wanted to do something as a family. My thoughts were either the Zoo or the Botanical Gardens. Well you see what we chose...

It was a chilly day, but the sun was shining and there was a lot in bloom. Kelsey was so good and enjoyed looking at the scenery.


John and K with the snap dragons.

Just some photos


She LOVES her bath!! This is her trying to catch the water.
We can't wait to get her in a swimming pool. I think she will love it even more!!


She is getting so big (she is still small, but the legs are getting rounder).


Playing with Daddy on the couch. For some reason she belly laughs at him all the time .


Such a happy baby!!!
