My baby

Beau is such an amazing, wonderful little boy to me, and I know that every parent thinks that about their children, I'm just glad I get to experience it. I think having children is Gods way of giving you a glimpse of His love torwards us. Pre-Lucy, Beau and I did everything together, and he was my little buddy. I never really left him with anyone, which I look back now and wished I would've taken advantage of having grandparents around more than I did. But the times I did leave him with people (Mom, Connie or Annie), I'd go to pick him up he'd start to cry when he would see me.....it hurt my feelings. I always thought he was this little independent boy that didn't need me as much as I thought he should. But then I had Lucy and saw how wrong I was. All of a sudden my attention and time shifted in a different direction and I saw how much he missed me, and how much he loved being my baby. He is so special and I thank God He gave him to me. He's truely is thee perfect little boy for me.....I love being his mommy.

Good times at the Northwest Missouri State Fair!

There's nothing like a good ol' freshly hand dipped corndog and a funnel cake soaked in grease. C.F., Beau, Lucy & I had a nice weekend at the fair. Beau rode all the little kids ride with no screaming or crying (I was so proud of him). Lucy endured the bumpy ride in the stroller, and she was the best little girl.

Here's Beau being Beau.



Needless to say he only went down the slide once.

Of course Beau and Gracie loves this ride, they both have simular personalities.



Lucy's in her new Mizzou dress.
Beau and the girls waiting for the tiger show, which by the way was really cool.

We finished the night with mom and dad and a good win for Mizzou.

Lucy's 1st no-no!

I was in the kitchen getting dishes done so we could go get pictures in Albany, all of a sudden I hear a loud bang in the other room, a little nervous, I go into the dinning room and there's Lucy and she has tipped over the chair. Beau looks at me with a very serious look "It wasn't me."

Funny noises.

When Lucy see's food or get excited, she does this funny thing with her voice...so funny

Already?

Lucy has just started to pull up on things. Oh my life with two has just begun....ahhhh!

The next Michael Phelps.

On our way to church

Lucy meets her cousins!

Yeaaa....Lucy got to meet Aunt Ramona, Uncle Kevin, Morgan & Jake for the 1st time. They flew in Wednesday and the kids have been going ever since, they've had a blast to say the least. Here are a few pics.
