Elvis here we come..

Elvis here we come... not that is not right! SBEC here we come! Every Christmas we have a basketball trip, we were going to Orlando, but that did not happen so we ended up in Memphis-- far from the magic kingdom:( Never the less we had a great time! Maymie was so excited about going "out of town". She kept asking are we out of town yet??? She had the best time with Sophie, Sadie, and the girls. Oh and I cannot forget THE BUS!! We took our car, but we did ride on the bus to the games and she was SO excited!


While we were gone Madden cut another tooth!
The first one has cut through-- it took a month, and it still has a way to go!
He loves to rub his tongue over them!


We went to a Grizzle a Suns game--Madden and Maymie's first NBA game!!! or as Maymie called them the big guys.
We rode the trolley-- yes it was cold!!


Wild girls!!


Warm ups...


Maymie loved the fire! She said I have never seen fire at the ballgames before!


We are so cute!!!


We saw Shaq-- he does not do much, but he is very large!!!

Happy 8 months!!!

So I am 8 months now!!!!
I think I am so big!!!


I am not sure what this is but it is so cool to look at!


I like to wave!!!


I love the Superhero Flash!



I can do lots of cool things now!!! I still love saying Daddy!!
Daddy had to lower my bed -- Mommy was scared when she walked in my room and saw my hand on the rail-- I was just tiring to see over it!
I can crawl-- well army crawl!
I love to sit in the floor and play with my toys-- even though some are pink:)

I have tried green beans
..
and just like my Daddy-- I am not a fan. I threw up the 5 bites that I did eat!


I have had one biter biscuit. LOVED it!! and the mess that it made!!
Choked a little and Mom had to do a finger sweep.
Not sure why she does not want to try again?????


I still love to watch Maymie.
As you know she is very interesting!!!!

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Audrey Hepburn:
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and remembered; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.”
