Random Pics

My adorable girl sleeping. I was pregnant with Trav. Aud and her trusty Little Man. He's an AWESOME dog! Always watching out for my babies.

And Gilley is the smart one- stays far away. Although Audrey is old enough now to catch him. That poor dog goes through hell! Between Audrey and her cousin Skylar wrapping him up in blankets and stuffing him in baby beds. I don't know what is worse for him- Audrey or our new Boxer puppy Zero!

These are pics of my belly with Trav. I was about 17 weeks pregnant. Yeah- me and my big bellies. Trav was a beast, but he will always be Mommy's little boy!

Being that I am on my 3rd book and sick of my space- I have been going through old pics and found this one! LOVE IT!

Audrey looks just like her Daddy doesn't she.

And Travis is never this still anymore.

They grow up so quick.

Crazy Dog Boy

Just another Saturday around the house.

You can see my little ones are already telling secrets.

You can see the mischief in his eyes!

He is so in love with Sissy- what ever she does he does. Audrey is going through this horrible stage- she insists on fixing her own hair. She's been going through it for 2 years!!!

And now for crazy dog boy.

Our dog Little Man will put the ball in his mouth and shake it really hard.

Travis is such a copy cat- now he doesn't just imitate Sissy- he imitates the dog!

I could hear Derik laughing so hard, he could hardly catch his breath to call me.

DaviAnn's 18th Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so hard to believe my baby sis is 18. Seems like just yesterday I was waiting to hear the news. I remember sitting at Aunt Sarah's all day long. And finally fell asleep, but I awoke to find out I had a sister.

What happened??????????????

She grew up way too fast. I can't imagine how I will feel when my own kids grow up, because having my baby sister turn 18 has been hard enough.

On the road again!

It's pretty obvious Travis did not want to be back in the car. He had been in the car for two days, and was not looking forward to the drive back to Jackson.

Audrey was out as soon as we pulled onto the road. She had played so hard at Mimie's. Little did she know when she woke up, we would be with Mam Maw- which is probably what she was dreaming about!

Our trip to Mississippi was long, but fun. We went all the way to Mimie's then back to Jackson for Kelly's wedding. Daddy went home in Jackson and we went on to Louisiana with Mam Maw. We lost all the other pics, except the ones with Mimie and Big Daddy, but those were the most important.

Lately Travis' favorite color is pink (mostly because that is what Sissy has). Mom and I had been picking on Derik about it the whole trip. When we got to Aunt Nancy's in LA, my cousin Daniel, who's very manly, walked in with a pink polo shirt on. Mama and I could not stop laughing. And Travis couldn't get enough of Daniel. He also couldn't get enough of Daniel's wife. Who is very pretty- Travis can pick them. Hopefully soon we will be back to take more pics with everyone in LA! Daniel and Brandi, we had a blast and can't wait to see yall with a little one!

Showing off for Mimie

Travis is always making everyone laugh. He was showing off for Mimie. He was acting like he was going to hug his sister, but I think he really wanted to bite her.

Aud finally gave in and gave him hugs. You notice she is holding his face, she was scared he was going to bite her!

He did get his pinches in!

Travis got really mad because we wouldn't let him push Mimie around. So he decided to pitch a fit.

When he got over that fit, he went over to Daddy and tried to get the camera.

When Daddy wouldn't give it to him, he started anothe fit! Audrey just looks at him now like he's crazy.

Saying Bye Bye to Mimie

I love this pic of Mimie and Aud. Mimie is so good with the kids, and Audrey loves to talk to her. Although Aud loves to talk period, but she loves the fact that Mimie just listens to what she says.

Ok 2 stories are going on here. Mimie's roomate had the TV on, and Travis was just dying to watch it. But we would not let him go past the line. So he adapted and stood there for about 5 minutes.

Aud is dancing to music for me. Derik says this is her vogue shot.

Once again, Audrey telling Mimie another story. And as usual, Bubby is going after something he should not have!

More of Mississip

Derik and I cannot get over this pic of Trav. He is never that still- we NEVER get pics that are this good of him. But he was showing off for his Big Daddy!

Notice his shirt "The fish I caught..... The fish my dad caught!"

Derik is so proud of this shirt.

Everytime I'm in Pontotac I want to take a pic with the pig- don't know why-just do.

So Aud and I took one together.

Travis and his Big Daddy. I never thought I would see this day. Trav had been sick everytime we tried to make a trip for them to meet. It finally happenned and I was overcome with JOY. I named my son after my grandfather, because my grandfather is one of the kindest and strongest men I know. WWII and a bunch of other stories and he's still here! And many more stories to come.

Mississippi Porch

These are all pictures on Mimie and Big Daddy's front porch. There's nothing like sitting on their porch and being a kid.

My beautiful girl had so much fun in Mississippi. But she is a Texas girl- she missed Mamaw and Sugar.

If you notice Daddy and Bubby have on their fishing shirts. I think Daddy missed the coast (he dressed Bubby that day).

Big Daddy and his boy, and my beautiful girl. Aud would not sit still long enough to take a picture with Big Daddy. This was the only one I caught her in with him.

This is the same swing my brother, David, and I used to play on.

Travis is definitely a Mississippi Boy. When we got him out of the car, the first thing he did was take off down that hill. I've never seen him run so fast. He ran all the way down, found the only mud puddle in the pasture and ran all the way back up. Without ever falling down! He loved that red Mississippi mud.

Travis meets Big Daddy

This was such an exciting day. Travis finally got to meet the man he's named after. Maybe more for Big Daddy and me, but it was so wonderful to see them together!

Travis would not leave Big Daddy alone. Of course Big Daddy loved the attention from his little man.

Travis loved pressing the horn on Big Daddy's scooter. I'm sure Travis would be just as dangerous with the cart as his great- grandfather is in Walmart.

All you can see is mischivious in that face! I was trying to get him to stop blowing the horn. It was really loud in Mimi's little room.

My little monkey boy. He never stops climbing.

Rockin Rodeo

Every night before bed Travis and Aud have a little ritual. Of course they usually have a bath first, but this was the 4th of July and Mamaw was over- 2 very special occassions.

We were watching Chicken Little and Travis sneaked off to his room to continue with his usual ritual.

Mamaw said we had to come look.

Sister is riding her pony "Sugar" named after Davi's "real" horse Sugar. Or as she calls them forses. Just about every horse we have is named Sugar and everynight Audrey asks God to bless Sugar and keep her safe. Not sure about which one of the 15 she's talking about, but I'm pretty sure it is the real one.

I know this is one sport the kids will be able to do together. I don't think we will catch them on a softball team together!
