This morning I had to finally accept that Kaleigh is one chunky little girl. She's 7 months old and I've had to start buying 12 month clothes b/c nothing else fits here anymore. So, this is one of her new outfits and I really thought she looked super cute wearing this melon color.

Tyler wasn't up for a photo op

I was getting in his grill trying to get a booger shot but he retreated.

She is always wearing such a big smile

June 22 - Monday Night - Game One



She's so chunky I couldn't really get her cheer outfit over her belly so it was kinda jumbled up at the top. Her Aunt Suzanne gave her this outfit.

Would have been a better picture had I remembered to take my hair thing out.

Party at Grandma and PawPaw's House

June 14 - Sunday

Dad/Lori hosted a Weems/Benenate Get Together

Ashley & Tyler weren't to keen on the idea of running and 'slipping' on the slipping slide so instead they tiptoed around and then they would fall down and the very end. Such scaredy cats !!

CHEESE !!!

How can a kid be so thin but have such a big belly? I just don't get it.

Ashley was softly and quietly squirting JJ on his back. She was stealth attacking !!

Once we got home, we were just playing in the living room and I decided to take a few pictures.

Kaleigh's 1st trip to the camp

Philip hadn't seen the kids in a few days and both kids were really missing their daddy. Tyler was excited but once he saw the water and his Papa he was gone but Kaleigh only wanted her daddy.

This was her toy of choice . . . .

Kaleigh's first time in a swimming pool. Tyler was so excited that he could teach his sister how to kick and splash. I don't know which one was more excited??

Trying to figure out how to grab the toy.

She was making some really strange faces. Tyler was pumped !!

She really is a daddy's girl!

Not sure what he was doing but he was really happy.

Sleepover

So, Tyler had a sleep over with Ashley, my neice. JJ & Suzanne were at a wedding in New Orleans and asked if Ashley could stay the night. We had such a fun time. We ran around in circles for a couple of hours, went swimming in the pool, took a nice long bath, watched a movie and ate a bunch of snacks. Ashley never wakes up early, she sleeps till 10-10:30 most days. I let them stay up late and they finally put them in bed around 9:30. Now, Ashley stays up until 10ish at home so this was kind of out of the norm for her. Well, 6:30 rolled around and guess who was wide eyed and ready to start her day. I was really hoping they would sleep a little later but that didn't happen.

I put them in bed expecting a little resistance but they didn't make a sound. I put them in bed and gave them kisses and they both closed their eyes and that was it. It was almost surreal.

PLAYTIME !!!

They ran around in circles like this for almost 2 hours. About the time Tyler was wearing himself out Ashley was just getting comfortable jumping into the beanbag.

Swimming Lessons 2009

Tyler and Mrs. Robbie working on kicking. Raelee Clark is also practicing. Gotta love those faces !!!

Kaleigh really liked swimming lessons too.

They were learning to jump off the side of the pool. This day was pretty chilly with a cool wind blowing through so most of the kids were shivering and had blue lips. Tyler is in the green swim trunks.

Jumping to Mrs. Robbie

Kaleigh still having fun !!

More kicking and bubble blowing with Mrs. Shannon

Tyler's prize for a great week of swimming lessons. It started off really bad and ended really good. We learned to kick, hold our breath, blow bubbles, jumping off the side of the pool and put our face in the water.

Just a Day at the House

Friday, May 15

Phe and the kids. He's got his hands full !!

Kaleigh has discovered Tyler's face and she'll do anything to sneak a grab or scratch to get it. Ty is a good sport though so it's all good, for now anyway.

She was wild at the moment !!

What is it with the sneaky face ??

If you're gonna be the next Bill Dance you have to start working at it at an early age...

Kaleigh got a laugh out of Ty and Philip playing in the yard.

Me and Phe - been together for 13 years now.

Can't remember why Phe was laughing but he must have really thought it was funny.

Tyler had a wild cast and got his fishing line over a branch and this created this little game.


My Mother's Day present from Phe and the kids.

Me and Kaleigh watching the boys play.

Ready to go !! He really was smiling but this was what I got, the crazy fake smile. We were fishing in a tournament the next day so Sonia kept the kids for us.

Getting ready for a night at Nunu's.
