This is my sweet and adorable cousin Michael. We are 7 years apart in age and I adore him and his sweet spirit. Mikey is graduating next weekend from MTSU with a degree in Engineering. We just received the awesome news, from his oh so prod momma, that he has been named Engineering student of the year!!! From what I understand there is a banquet and they will showcase some of his projects. Congrats sweet boy! We love you!!! I am beaming for you!

mr. independent

look at my big boy, sitting up and playing all by himself!

we had to make a trip to the dr on friday afternoon. coley had been stuffy for a few days and it wasn't getting any better! he loves to lay on the bed and crinkle up all the paper. his other favorite past time is the mirror at the dr's office. they gave us a decongestant and sent us on our way! he is now 5 1/2 months old.
20.12 lbs!!!

crawfish

so, my bro and his buddy will hosted thier 2nd annual beer and crawfish fest this weekend. i am not a crawfish eater, but went to socialize. now, don't get me wrong-- i like crawfish, just don't know how to eat them (peel them) properly. well, thanks so my uncle kev and brandon--i am a pro now. i loved it! mixed in each batch were sausages, potatoes, corn, ham, mushrooms, artichokes, and of course--crawfish!

don, uncle kev, debbie, and josh

bro and sis!

notice nate's accessory!

will and josh. the hosts

james and deebs, love this pic!

colton was helping ellie chop potatoes to go in the boil! yum!

it was a fun day with family and friends. the rain wasn't too bad and it was actually nice most of the day! looking forward to next year.

cowboy up

josh's mom, mimi, bought these boots for colton before he was born. mimi and granddaddy have 2 horses at their house - blaze and cheyenne. josh used to ride when he was a kid, so i thought i would send him to granddaddy's all "cowboyed" up!

he has his mama's calves, they wouldn't completely zip over them. oh well he looked cute for his day with grandaddy!

giddy up yall!

hoppy easter

colton in his easter digs, so sweet! the easter bunny visited our house, ellie's house, and mimi and granddaddy's! we have new bath toys, some clothes, movies, books, horses, and a zoo membership!!! what a special easter for our family!

oh yea, check out his new shades! he loves to be outside, but gets mad when the sun is in his eyes. we put these on him several times and he doesn't mess with them...yet!
