Daddy Day 2011

I wanted to share some of the decent pictures I got of our boys. I selected one and had it enlarged and put on a canvas wrap for one of Bo's Father's Day gifts. Remind me not to take photos during Rock's nap time on a 98 degree sunny afternoon! Little one cried while big one stared off in space. Little one sucked on his fingers while big one dropped his sign. Little one looked at anyone but me while big one picked his nose.
That daddy of theirs is worth every bit of the effort. I was truly blessed to snatch up Bo and marry him. And I had no idea what a fantastic father he would make one day. He gives his all to our children and to our marriage. Landon and Rock will always have a wonderful example of what a husband and father should be like. I have immense and infinite love for you, Bo. Happy Daddy Day!

A Birthday Party in the Country

I mentioned Charlie in Landon's graduation post. They were buds from the first day of school. Even on days when Landon didn't have much to say about school, he always had something to say about Miss Charlie. She turned 4 a couple weeks ago (yes, a younger woman) and had a fun little birthday party....country-style.





Rock and I finding humor in something.....Daddy, I'm sure.

Our Graduate

Landon Cole has officially graduated from the 3's program at Wesley Christian Preschool. I personally think all these "graduations" are a little silly. We celebrate each of the preschool years, kindergarten, the end of elementary school, the end of middle school and finally the grand finale, high school. It just seems like the high school graduation loses some of its special meaning when they've already been through 7 other ceremonies over the years. Anyhoo, I attended, I clapped, I cheered, I took pictures, and this momma quietly shed a few tears. Maybe these things are more for the mommies and daddies? I'm an emotional person, especially when it comes to my children. I don't think I was quite this way before Landon came along. He can accomplish the most mundane task and I fill up with pride. Add cute little bumblebee antenna and sing a cute little bumblebee song (like they did at their graduation ceremony) and the smiles and tears just flow. I love him immensely. My cup runneth over.

This is Landon's class about to sing the cute little bumblebee song.

Accepting his diploma


This is a picture of Landon and the oh-so-shy Charlie. I'm amazed she would stand there long enough for me to snap a picture. Landon adores Charlie....from day 1.


My sweet baby boy with his phenomenal teachers. I double-dog dare you to find teachers more loving, nurturing, caring and dedicated.
