Meet Noah

My sister had her first child. His name is Noah Alan. He is so pretty. I tell him I can call him pretty now but when he's a little older I will say he is handsome. My poor sister had the worst experience at the hospital. I felt like a big sister wanting to tell them leave my little sister alone.

Here he is in the hospital.

Kayla and Nathan loves him so much. Kayla says its her baby Noah. She can't stand for anyone else to hold him.

Here are some pictures on Easter. It is amazing how big he already is after just 4 days.

Gone Fishing!

We went to grandparents house to go fishing.

Nathan was the best worm catcher.

Nathan caught 3 fish. Which was a feat since the fish were not biting and he caught some real tiny ones that are hard to catch.

Three generations.

Pretty days with my new camera!

My husband spoils me. Our camera fell apart a long time ago. I have been using the video camera/still camera. It takes good pics most of the time.Sometimes it comes out blurry or action shots come with five legs.For Valentines day Macky surprised me with a new to me camera. It has been pretty outside so we have been spending time outdoors and I tried some new angles with my new camera.

These two pictures I actually climbed up into Nathans club house to take these pics.

Kayla loves to swing on anything that is why we call her monkey.

Nathan is obsessed with basketball I am waiting to find him sleeping with the basketball.

Kayla likes to swing on her tummy so I laid on the ground and took some pics.

Okay so Macky picked him up but I don't think it will be long before he can do this himself.

Kayla swinging some more.

The Beach

Every year we go to Panama Florida to attend the Gulf Coast Getaway. It is always Martin Luther King's weekend so sometimes we do not get to take advantage of the beach, this year we got to enjoy some of God's work.
Nathan and Kayla enjoyed being buried in the sand as long as no sand went on his face. They made sure to tell us that information many times.




Nathan playing some cards with the college group. Don't worry we didn't let him bet his college fund lol.




Nathan really enjoyed his time with his daddy. Macky took him out to catch big seashells and jellyfish. Anyone for a jellyfish sandwich.:p


Kayla and Nathan on our 7th floor balcony watching their dad play and win football with the college guys

Kayla loved this High bar stools she wanted to eat all her meals in this seat.


The kids room had a T.V.. This was a big treat since I am the meanest mom ever and won't let them have one at home. Nathan was very happy with the control of the remote.



I have never did a moat before. Nathan filled his bucket at least 3 times and the water would just get sucked up by the sand. I guess I need to read the book Sandcastles for dummies.

God's creation!

Princess Marie

Meet the newest member of our family, Princess Marie Shedd. Yes we realized that her initials spell PMS. That is no reflection on her though. Nathan came up wit Marie, Kayla came up with Princess so we put it together. She usually just gets called Princess.
So here is the story, we have had dogs in the past but where we lived ,the timing and the type of dog was always wrong. Nathan has been begging us for a dog and we have always hesitated for a number of reasons. One, being were we lived our neighbors had really big dogs who wondered anywhere they want so we wanted a fence first so our puppy would not get eaten. Second, Nathan and Kayla are afraid of dogs. Third, it is out of Macky's comfort zone to have something that smells up your house and he can possibly step into something that the dog left behind. So you can understand our hesitation. I saw a new toy on t.v. it was a robot dog.I thought it was a good compromise. Christmas was coming up so Macky went to look how much it was. I think it was over 300 dollars. Macky thought it was lame and too expensive he also felt like he was a bad father if he got them a robot for a dog. He went online found a good breeder and picked her out and surprised us with a For real dog.

She is supper sweet. The kids are not scared of her. She doesn't jump which is a plus in Kayla's book. They fight over who gives her her food or her treats, and who brushes her. Kayla loves that she sits on the spider man couch like a human. She laughs every time.

Play date

Maybe I am just silly, but when I looked at these pictures I took when my nieces and nephews can over to play I thought of the crusades.The men or in this case boys fought with there mighty swords....

The Knights of the train table all for one and all for candy. Mighty Nathan, Gallant Christian, and Elijah the brave heart (due to his size and willingness to join in.).
While the women in this case girls had tea and cake or in this case water and fruit loops.

This is Princess Reanna visiting from the region of Virgina
Along with her sister, Princess Destiny who thought a crown was too much

P.S. We love you kids We had alot of fun. Sorry we were not there to see you leave.

Christmas presents everywhere!

On your mark.... get set go!!! Nathan made out pretty good with the electronics. He got to play them alot over the break. I don't think he realy realizes the rule that I set with no video games on school nights. Tonight will be easy he has Basketball practice so he won't even have time to anyway.

Kayla's wish list was I want just like mommy. She wanted an iron just like mommy, and cooking things like mommy, she even got a mop and a bucket that she loves. I have to admit I like playing with her dollhouse with her. Why can't we live vicariously through our children.

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we spent it at Chaz and Sam's house along with a few college students. The food was great and the company was fun.

Kayla wanted to eat the spoon!

Kayal loves Sam. Kayla wanted to help her do everything.

Nathan enjoyed hanging with the guys.
