Happy Independence Day

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Hello Daddy,

Happy Father's Day! I want to tell you how much I love you.
I love when you take me fishing & we get to ride in the boat. I love when you take me hunting with you... even though I complain sometimes this are the best memories. You always push me to be my very best no matter what I am doing. You give me confidence. You teach me how to work hard & do things right the first time. You are my hero. I want to grow up to be just like you!!

Your lil girl,
Adrianna

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

Since I'm too little to type you a letter, Mommy is writing all the things I would say, if I could! It is so fun to be with you and play with you, no matter what we are doing. Thanks for always being so patient with me, even when I try to snatch your phone or the remote so I can push all the buttons... I am just like you... I love to figure out how things work! And even though I pull everything out of every cabinet and closet, it's just so I can see it all for myself... just like you! I feel safe whenever I am in your arms and daring and adventurous enough to try scary, new things for the first time. I am such a cheerful, friendly, happy little person and I love spending time together with you. Thanks for loving me like crazy and for being such a fun Dad!

Love You,
Andrew


Jeremy~

I hope you know, by now, how very blessed I feel to have you in my life. You have truly made my dreams come true. I am so lucky to be a part of the life we have built together. You are a wonderful man, an incredible husband and a fabulous dad! We are so blessed that you take care of us and those we love, in every way. You take such pride in your family & work. I don't know how I got so lucky... you certainly do more than your fair share of things around the house!
(Not many of my friends have husbands who often cooks, cleans, or changes diapers... Most of them don't even remember to lower the stinkin' seat!). You're the greatest!!

I love you, forever & always~
Jamie Nicole

Fishing

Oh man, was today just perfect weather for boating or what?
We decided to spend the day on Lake Ouachita. Jeremy & Matt ran trott lines while Adrianna, Jimmy, & I rode in the boat and watched.

Adrianna loves being in the boat... She was a big help for her daddy.

She was in charge of handing him the net when they had a fish on the line.

Here's the loot. Andrew isn't too sure about the fish. LOL


What a wonderful day and to top it off we had fish and hushpuppies for dinner!

Andrew went to his first Movie & Sleep right thru it!!!

For The Love...

of sugar.

I have not been eating well.

how about you???

I am starting again, TODAY.

seriously.

lets see, a few months ago, I was good for two weeks solid. really good.

then Valentine's Day came.

then easter came.

then Adrianna's birthday came.

these one-day events all turned into DAYS and DAYS of eating SUGAR! because you know, this is an addiction we are talking about. when I indulge just a little, the fact is, i then indulge a LOT.

{sigh}

today, I start again....no sugar, for this girl. seriously.

Whats more fun than a toy.... the box

ADRIANNA'S BIRTHDAY

This year Adrianna wanted to take a mother/daughter trip on her birthday rather than having a party. So the two of us and our good friends Debbie and Mallory went to Branson for the weekend! It was a quick trip but we had a blast! We went shopping, visited the titanic museum, played in the pool, and went shopping some more! What else could a girl ask for?!?

When we got back home Adrianna walked in her room and found this....

Andrew & Daddy had decorated her room with balloons, balls, & banners!

Andrew was very excited!!!

Me, Adrianna, & Andrew

Adrianna & Andrew jumped on the bed for 15 mins. before they noticed this hid under the covers! Adrianna has been wanted a BB gun forever. I finally broke down and let Jeremy buy one for her. I just made her promise to be extremely careful with it...

Andrew is showing off his belly in this picture! He is obsessed with it. LOL
