This is a little embarrassing!

Twice a year we have a big children's consignment sale here in town and I have been participating the since Mari Cate was a baby. It is a nice way to make a little extra money. Thankfully, my Mom always helps me get everything ready too. Somehow, I always seem to have an abundance of clothes...in EVERY size!! I even had baby girl clothes this time---what is up with that?? So anyway, two weeks ago, Mom and I worked for days to get everything on hangers, tagged/priced, ironed, and sorted into sizes. I am kind of embarrassed to show HOW MUCH stuff there was, and what is even worse is that these pictures don't even show what I brought up from the basement on 2-3 other occasions!! Of course the baby swing and the exersaucer weren't for sale!! : )

So the fruit of our hard work?????

Not too shabby huh???

Ball Games and Band

Thursday night was the first football game for Conner's Middle School. He is playing trumpet in the Advanced Band (way to go Conner!) this year and they get to play at the Football Games. Here are few pictures from the night. The pretty girl with the big smile in the second picture is my sweet niece. She plays percussion and is playing the cymbals for football games--she thought she would let the big tough guys carry those HUGE drumsets!!

An Unprofessional Photo Shoot

I took some pictures for Hayden's 6 months. We are going to go to Master Portraits in a couple of weeks to get professional ones done, were supposed to go today, but I ended up with strep throat!! Remember to click on the picture and you can see bigger versions of the pictures!

Some stats and a little talking

I took Hayden for his 6 month well check-up yesterday. He is doing awesome! He weighed 16 lbs. 9 oz., and was 26 1/4" long. He ranges in the 25-50% on all his measurements which is great.

Here is a little video of him gabbing, with Mari Cate in the background trying to encourage him! haha

Congratulations Mom and Dad

on your new home!!

I'm 6 months old!!

Yesterday we celebrated Hayden's 1/2 Year Birthday! I know---silly, silly...but whatever, it was fun! We had 1/2 a cake and 1/2 gallon of ice cream to celebrate. I couldn't figure out how to do 1/2 a candle or 1/2 a balloon, so we skipped the candle and got a whole balloon. I gave him a little bite of the icing (I know, I know bad Momma!) and he sure did like it! We even song the Birthday song (It's your birthday, It's your bithday) and sang it with 1/2 birthday. I videoed it on my camera, but it didn't come out...too bad!
