WHO IS THIS CHILD?

KYLE AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SO PROUD OF THE FACT THAT OUR BABIES WERE PHOTOGENIC.....WELL, THIS PHOTO MAY PROVE US WRONG. LUKIE WAS HAVING A GRAND OLE TIME AT NENE AND PAW PAW'S HOUSE ON MEMORIAL DAY. HE WAS HELPING HIMSELF TO A BOWL OF WHIPPED CREAM AND HAD IT EVERYWHERE. I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE MY CAMERA TO CAPTURE THE CUTENESS. SOMEWHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG. INSTEAD OF THIS BEING A SWEET FACE FULL OF WHIPPED CREAM.....IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE SPAWN OF WEIRDNESS. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SWEET LUKE'S SMILE AND FACE. HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS FROM A DIFFERENT PLANET. WE LAUGHED OVER THIS UNTIL OUR SIDES HURT. MAYBE THIS WILL BE A ONE TIME THING. HE IS STILL OUR PRECIOUS BOY. I HOPE HE DOESNT TURN ON US IN THE NIGHT....LOL.

MY UNCLE WILL

UNCLE WILL AND AUNT MONICA HOME FOR A VISIT. FOLLOWING THEIR WEDDING IN KANSAS, WILL AND MONICA CAME HOME TO ATTEND A WEDDING RECEPTION THAT MOM AND I HAD PLANNED HERE AT THE HANCOCK HOUSE. UNCLE WILL AND AUNT MONICA WERE ABLE TO ATTEND ONE OF MILES' SOCCER GAMES AND A TBALL GAME. MILES COULDNT HAVE BEEN MORE EXCITED. HIS UNCLE WILL CHEERED HIM ON AND HE SCORED 2 GOALS TO FINISH OUT THE SEASON. UNCLE WILL AND AUNT MONICA SAT IN THE DUGOUT DURING TBALL TO ASSIST COACH DADDY AND RALLY THE TROOPS. THE WEDDING RECEPTION WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AND THE HANCOCK HOUSE WAS WONDERFUL. IT TOOK LUKIE A DAY OR SO TO WARM UP BUT WHEN HE FINALLY DID HE COULDNT LIVE WITHOUT HIS "E" WILL ( THAT IS WHAT LUKE CALLED HIM) AND AUNT MONICA. WE HAD A GOOD VISIT. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL RETURN IN AUGUST FOR MILES' BIRTHDAY PARTY.

LUKE AT THE PARK

LUKE HAS LOVED GOING TO MILES' SOCCER GAMES AND ESPECIALLY TBALL WHERE HE CAN PLAY WITH RYAN WHILE HIS BUBBY PLAYS BALL. HE LOVES TO YELL AT DADDY AND BUBBY ON THE FIELD AND PAW PAW EVEN TAKES HIM FOR A LITTLE OUTFIELD STROLL SINCE THE OUTFIELD IS NOT REALLY BEING OCCUPIED DURING TBALL. HE PLAYS WITH HIS CARS AND WE ARE NOT LEAVING THE PARK UNTIL LUKE HAS HIS RINGPOP. EITHER WAY, HE HAS A GREAT TIME.

COWBOY UP

FOLLOWING MILES' GRADUATION THERE WAS A PERFORMANCE LIKE NO OTHER. THE THEME WAS WESTERN AND THEY STOLE THE STAGE BY RIDING IN ON THEIR STICK HORSES AND SINGING SEVERAL SONGS. THE SONGS WERE ACCOMPANIED WITH SOME COUNTRY LINE DANCING THAT WAS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. MILES WOULDNT SING US ANY OF HIS SONGS BEFORE HAND SO WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT. WE LAUGHED AND CRIED AND I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM. HE WAS THE BY FAR THE MOST HANDSOME COWBOY I HAVE EVER SEEN.

MILES GRADUATES PRESCHOOL

WHAT AN EXCITING NIGHT. MILES GRADUATED FROM HIS MOTHER'S DAY OUT CLASS ON 5-16-08. WE MET AT THE CHURCH AT 6:00 TO JOIN THE REST OF HIS CLASS. NENE, PAW PAW, GIGI, BUDMAN, GRANNY, LUKE, MOMMY, AND DADDY WERE ALL THERE TO WATCH OUR SPECIAL BOY GET HIS DIPLOMA. HE LOOKED SO HANDSOME AND WE ESPECIALLY LOVED HIS CAP. THEY READ SOME SPECIAL FACTS ABOUT THE KIDS THAT THEY HAD TOLD THEIR TEACHER AT SCHOOL. WE FOUND OUT THAT MILES' FAVORITE FOOD IS CHEESE, HIS FAVORITE TOY IS TRANSFORMERS, HIS FAVORITE TV SHOW IS DRAKE AND JOSH, AND WHEN HE GROWS UP HE WANTS TO BE A FIREMAN. HE ACCEPTED HIS DIPLOMA AND SHOOK MRS. SARAH'S HAND. IT WAS PRICELESS. I HAD SO MANY MIXED EMOTIONS AND IT WAS DEFINATELY SAD TO SEE MY BABY GETTING SO BIG.

2 COOL DUDES

IT IS A CHORE TO GET MY BOYS TO WEAR THEIR SUNGLASSES ON A SUNNY DAY. BUT TODAY, WITH RAIN AND CLOUDS, THEY DECIDED TO WEAR THEM. LUKE WANTS TO DO WHATEVER MILES DOES SO THERE YOU HAVE IT....BOTH IN HATS AND GLASSES. WE RAN SOME ERRANDS AND WENT TO LUNCH WITH NENE. THEY WORE THEIR SHADES ALL DAY. I AM SO THANKFUL I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE THIS ON CAMERA. BROTHERS ARE THE GREATEST.

RELAY FOR LIFE

THE TEACHERS AT BENNY BILLS ELEMENTARY TEAMED UP FOR THE ANNUAL RELAY FOR LIFE CANCER FUNDRAISER/WALK. WE TEAMED UP WITH THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT SO OUR CATCH PHRASE THIS YEAR WAS "FIRING UP FOR THE CURE." SEVERAL OF US CAME OUT FOR THE WALK AND OUR TENT LOOKED GREAT. AS YOU CAN SEE THE DECORATIONS ARE FAB. WE WON FOR BEST SPIRIT STICK. I WALKED FROM 7:00 UNTIL 10:30. WE RAISED 3,800.00 IN ALL. IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT.

FUN AT BUDMAN'S AND GIGI'S HOUSE

THE BOYS WENT TO SPEND 2 NIGHTS IN CLARKSVILLE WITH BUDMAN AND GIGI. THEY ALWAYS HAVE SO MUCH FUN THERE. BUDMAN TOOK THE BOYS TO THE PARK AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY HAD A BLAST. THE PARK HAS A "BRIDGE"....LUKE'S FAVORITE. THEY ALSO WENT TO SEE GRANNY AND PAW PAW IN PARIS FOR PAW PAW'S 80TH BIRTHDAY. THEY WENT TO THE RIVER (OR FIVER AS LUKE CALLS IT) AND THREW ROCKS IN THE WATER. IT WAS A GREAT WEEKEND.

MOMMY'S NIGHT OUT

MOMMY HAD A GIRLS' NIGHT WHILE ALL MY BOYS SPENT THE NIGHT IN CLARKSVILLE. I HOSTED A LIA SOPHIA JEWELRY PARTY AT THE HOUSE WITH A GRAND TOTAL OF 14 GIRLS. WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME. THE JEWELS WERE FABULOUS AND THE SHOW WENT WELL. I SOLD ENOUGH TO GET SEVERAL ITEMS FOR FREE. AFTER THE PARTY, 5 OF US WENT OUT TO THE LOCAL COUNTRY STOMPING GROUNDS FOR DRINKS AND DANCING. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN AND WE LAUGHED ALL NIGHT. I SO ENJOY THESE MOMENTS WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS. I SURE DID MISS MY BOYS THOUGH.
