Good Clean Fun!

James Thomas graduated to the adult bathtub this week and is having a ball!  Needless to say, he is all boy!  During our first big bathtub experience he decided to go face first and drink the water.  Scared me to death, but not James, he's all smiles and splashes!  :-)  Here are a couple pics....

Norfork River: Ready or Not, Here We Come

We recently traveled to Gene's Trout Resort near Mountain Home on Norfork River to do a little trout fishing with our friends from Mississippi.  James met his new friend Matthew!  They are exactly the same age.  Although it took them a day to get to know each other, we think, they became fond friends.  They would try to bite, play chase and had a small tug of war over the coveted "adult" cell phone.  Randall and Paul caught a lot of trout while the mommies hung at the cabin with the boys.  We had a small grease fire for entertainment and Megan hunted a "not sure if it's poisonous" snake.  :-)  It was a lot of hard work traveling with an 8 month old, but a great time!  Thanks to Paul, Megan & Matthew for traveling so far for a visit! Here are a few pics.  We love Matthew's red hair!

Play Hard, Sleep Hard!

James is the JOY of our lives and is everywhere and into everything! Here are a few pics!

Don't you wish you knew what they were thinking?

Daddy's Caddy!

James is loving the golf course these days or should I say loving the ride in the golf cart! I think he's going to be an outdoorsman.  Thanks Ryan for the pic!  It looks very professional-golf club prop & all...

My First Swim (In my baby pool)

James took his first dive this afternoon in his Crazy Crab Spray Pool (minus the spray, mommy's got to work on that).  Thank you Papaw & Gigi for my pool.  It was great fun and I wore myself out!  We look forward to more little swims in the future.

We headed to Dallas last weekend for Luke's 3rd B-day (can't believe he's so big)!  James had lots of fun playing with his cousins, attending a birthday party and experiencing his first hotel room....until bedtime...let's just say us all in the same room means "Pick me up Mama or Daddy; I don't like my Pack n' Play!"
