Mother's Day, Dedication, Gymnastics

Got lots of pictures for you and dang if I can't figure out how to turn them for you : (

Nevertheless, there are some cute ones. Here's my big boy sleeping happily in the bouncy seat.

He's such a happy baby. I told Chad we can go ahead & get "fixed" but I would still be hoping that we can be one of the 3 in 1,000 that still conceive, lol. I'm sure if I had no reason to NOT want to get pregnant, I would probably feel more sure than I do with good reason to be done. Just a part of life, huh? So here's Isaac in his frog towel :o) He loves baths.

This is a sleeping pic in his bed. I keep the extra paci's in there & always a few receiving blankets. I use the blankets to keep his head straight & to "burrito" him in when his hands & legs get to flailing & keep him from sleeping. So peaceful.

Happy Mother's Day to me. Check out the last line; it reads, "My mom is funny when she toots." Thanks, Neena. Thanks for sharing. And, really, the face says it all here. Sigh; that's my girl!

Oh, how I love her!

And I love my Mommy :o) Even when we have no make-up on, first thing in the morning!

Neena & MiMi! They are suckers for one another.

Neena's BFF at church: Zoe. Their Daddy's names: Chad & Thad. Both worship leaders at the church. Hahaha ; )

More mom-daughter love on Mother's Day :) This is my sis-in-law, Laila, & her mom, Linda. We got to hang out on Mother's Day & Laila even got ME roses for M's Day, too! She's a freak about giving; it's ridiculous. We love her for it & think Allen is quite a lucky guy! (He'll be coming home SOON, too! Woo Hoo! Pray his homecoming goes as smoothly as possible so it happens as QUICKLY as possible!!!)

M's Day pics of me & mine w/make-up. (Much better.)

This smile just goes on & on!

OK, here's an action shot of Neena at her gymnastics performance. I love the gym she goes to; if you live in Holly Springs or close by, I recommend it!

So, we may have gotten a little distracted in between her performances....

Proud girl :) Proud family, too. She did soo good! When all the other kids her age did their solo "ta-da" performance b/f receiving their trophies, they did forward somersaults; not my Neena. A perfect cartwheel! OK, maybe a perfect start with an adorable finish sprawled across the floor, but perfect in our eyes, of course!!

Baby dedication! Pastor Gary had just told someone to come help Chad's mom w/the camera, so we were all looking at her for this picture, lol. He likes to rag her & I can't blame him; she's adorable & she gives it right back to him.

Happy Dedication Day, Baby Isaac!!! We are so thankful God has blessed us with such sweet babies to love. We acknowledge that they are HIS, not ours, & that we are responsible to lead Godly lives as examples for them. It's overwhelming when I stop to think about it.

Baptism day, also; here's a few shots from the view from our seats. Uncle Brian (Chad's bro) in the sunglasses, bottom left).

You can catch a peek of Gege, Cousin Amber, & Isaac in the corner of this one ;)

Neena w/her cousin Rhiannon, who is TWO years younger than her, almost to the day. Nope, I never would've guessed it, either! Aren't they CUTE?!?!

One last thing: a video of Isaac at Neena's gymnastics performance. We DID get her on video, too, but it's on the video camera--not the digi-camera ;)
