Car Shopping with Kammy

My mom is quite a character! She calls me Monday as she is on her way to Batesville to buy a new vacuum cleaner (the exact one that I wanted) and she wanted the babies and I to go car shopping with her. She loves Hefner Motors outside of Batesville and she was going to stop by and look around. She starts out saying that she wanted to get something sporty and go smaller (she had a GMC Envoy) but this was not the case. We looked at the GMC Arcadia, ask a few questions and mom did a short test drive and that was all she needed. Remind you she had decided she was going to buy it without even driving it, so I encouraged her to at least do that. After the test drive I asked her if she wanted to look at something else or wait and go to Memphis to look and she said "no I think this will work and I would buy a GMC anyways". The deal was done and she was headed home in her new Arcadia. It is a great vehicle and the babies enjoyed a little time playing in it.

The BIRTHDAY BOY!


Warner turned three and he celebrated this past weekend with a train birthday party. The weather was not so great but it held off long enough for the kids to ride the train. I squeezed in to take Lucy Kate and Bryant on a ride and then they rode with John Andrew and Rutledge. Warner is so precious to us and we are so glad we were able to celebrate with him!

My Little Helpers

I was trying to clean out the fridge (running low on room) and I had some great help. They love the fridge and they were throwing everything around in the kitchen. You will have to excuse the fact that they are partially dressed, breakfast was a little messy!

5 Years


Charles and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary with a dinner date to Waltz in Oxford. We had a great evening and the restaurant was great. A babysitter and a night out to be adults was the perfect anniversary. Charles also surprised me with pearl earrings that are so beautiful! I love him so much and there is nobody else that I would rather spend the rest of my life with.

New View

A few weeks ago we ordered the new carseats and Bryant and Lucy Kate love being able to see the world. Since they have turned around Lucy Kate does not like to sleep in the car anymore (a bit of a pain when she is fighting it). I love these carseats, they are so funky! We are going to start practicing watching the dvd player to get ready for our drive to the beach.
He is so funny with these glasses, he just lets them hang on his face.
She falls asleep a few minutes before we arrive, everytime!

Answered Prayers

God is so amazing and He has answered our prayers in healing Mrs. Emma. The tube was removed from her throat after two successful days of breathing on her own (for the most part) and she was moved out of the ICU to the floor. Our family feels so fortunate and we are so glad that she is starting to feel better. In the morning she is having a swallow study done and hopefully the NG tube will be removed and she can have some real food. Please continue to pray for her as this will be a long road.

All about Emily

A few weeks ago I had a senior party for Emily and the other girls in her class. We had such a great time giving the girls pedicures and I am so thankful to Landon, Jennifer, and Jennie for all there help. We played games and had virgin daiquiris, the girls really enjoyed themselves. On mothers day Emily graduated from DeSoto School and we are so excited. My parents have had a child going to that school for like 28 years and they are thrilled to be done with that. She is planning on attending ASU in Jonesboro, AR. and we are so proud of her! We also were so fortunate to have Aunt Dale and Uncle Sonny join us for this exciting time in Emily's life. They are always so much fun to have around and so much help with the babies. Hopefully we will be able to make it out to Texas again this summer.
