Playing With Kylie

Kylie and I made plans weeks ago to play on her swingset when I came to visit. We did just that.

Every time I would snap a picture, Kylie would have to get of the swing, come see the picture and then hop back on the swing to get pushed again.

Being a little monkey.

While we played on the swing, Aaron & Seth took turns trying to bean each other with Kylie's ball. Snapped a couple more of Wyatt once he woke up.

And one of Kylie.

Gone North to Nebraska

We left for Nebraska Saturday morning about 7 a.m. and made it to Aaron & Tasha's about 9 p.m. our time.Good to get out of the car and see my grandbabies (Aaron & Tasha too, of course!) This morning when Kylie got up, she had to be a princess. Adorable, isn't she? The little princess even made her papaw "breakfast", cereal and eggs and bacon.

And here's little Wyatt. The pictures do not do justice to the head full of black hair. Turns out he's 19 1/2 inches long. He's a wiggler, so it's hard to get a picture before he's wiggling everywhere. And Kylie says he "squeaks".

I'll post more as I take them.

Kyra, Elijah & Owen

These are some pics I took of Kyra, Elijah and Owen when I kept them after the birthday party.

Kyra & Owen's Birthdays

Kyra's 6th birthday is today and

Owen's 2nd birthday is the 26th.

Rachel had their birthday party this

past Saturday at Frozen Head State Park. Kyra requested a "Creation" party. (She's been stuck on creation since Bible School) She also requested a "world" birthday cake. So, that's what Mammy made her.

Owen likes frogs so I made him

a small frog cake.

They were both pleased with the results. Here they are blowing out their candles.

And opening their presents.

5 Down, 1 To Go!

Lucas graduated high school on May 22. We are so proud of him! For the first time in 21 years, I only have one child in school. Hallelujah! Seth will be a freshman in the 2008-09 school year.

That's Luke on the second row, in the middle.

That's Luke on the end of the second row, getting ready to walk around and get his diploma.

Luke and his girlfriend, Jessica All of us that were able to make it to graduation.

(Except Nanny & Papaw Tom. They left as soon as the program was over, before we lined up for pictures.) Ashley (Seth's then girlfriend, things change fast with that boy), Charlie, Seth, Rachel, Owen, Luke, Jessica, Me, Misty, Malachi, Elijah and Kyra

Senior Prom and Eighth Grade Formal

Seth looked mighty handsome for the 8th grade formal. Hard to believe my baby's growing up. Seth and his date, Megan

Luke & Jessica before the Senior Prom. Their prom was held on the Watts Bar Belle, in Kingston.

David Wyatt Francis

It's been a long time since I posted anything. My life has been rather chaotic for a while now. But today my 6th grandchild was born. David Wyatt Francis entered this world at a little after 8 a.m. (7 a.m. in Nebraska). He weighed 6 lbs and 13 oz. Both mom Tasha and baby Wyatt are doing well, as is big sister Kylie and proud dad Aaron. Wyatt evened up the numbers, 3 grandsons and 3 granddaughters. I am a blessed woman!

Isn't he handsome!

More pictures to follow when Aaron sends them to me or we make it to Nebraska somewhere around the 21st.

Kylie's First Birthday

In January, Aaron, Tasha & Kylie came home for a visit. Kylie's birthday was the 25th and we were able to have her party while she was home. She had lots of help opening her presents, Meg, Keinzie, Kyra, Elijah & Seth.

Kylie really liked the doggie we got her.

The cake really interested her, too.

Though a litte tentative at first, she soon got the hang of it.
