New Hobbie

Well I have heard it said that every other generation sews. So I started sewing a few weeks ago. My grandmother is very proud. I am taking a class were the teacher helps you along with your project. I completed my 1st project and Abe wore it to Church yesterday (pictured below). It turned out pretty cute. Overall, I really enjoy sewing. I have so many projects in my head that I don't even know were to start next. But I can't for the life of me read at pattern. It takes me longer to figure out the pattern than it does to sew the outfit.

"Hold me don't take my picture"

On the Green

This was Abe's 1st time on the golf course. TW said that this was history in the making because he is going to be making a lot of money when he goes pro.

Luke, Uncle O and Abe

Watch the ball and just tap it in.

It want be long before he get his on clubs and gets to go play with his daddy.

The pictures on the last two post are brought to you by Uncle O Photography.

Hang On!!!

Here are some pictures of Luke and Abe riding Luke's battery powered four-wheeler. They had a really good time.

The Week of Words

Abe is going to be a talker like his mama but he is way ahead of me because I did not talk until I was 2. His favorite words are: no (of course), ball, shoe, awe (ouch), book, nana (banana), mama, daddy, night night, bite, juice and maw. Yesterday he started putting two words together. He stepped out of his shoe and said "oh no". Today he saw TW's flip flops and said "daddy shoe". Just now he said "no bite" while eating. It is just so much fun.

Mr. Independent feeding himself. He does a really good job.

One thing he stared this week is if he gets hungry he helps himself. He knows right were we keep his snacks.

Abe and Coco playing this afternoon.

They are the same age only 3 weeks apart and check out the size difference. Abe is in the 5% and Coco is in the 95% for height and weight of all babies their age.

Bull Frog

Oh My! The Jones Family took a skip day and went frog hunting by our house. Bentley, Macauley, and Jessica first showed up with a bucket of tadpolls. Then to everyones disbelief Bentley caught the biggest bullfrog I have ever seen.

100's of tadpoles

Abe LOVES Macauley

WOW
Bentley with the catch of the day.

No animals were harmed during family adventure.

1st Boo Boo

Today Abe got his first booboo. He scraped his knee and forehead in just one fall on the concrete. He was reaching down to get a tennis ball and toppled over. Here are some pics.

Breckenridge - Ski Trip

Here are a few more pictures from the ski trip. We had a great time. I think Abe had the most fun of all. Please keep Terry Wayne in your prayers are his shoulder heals. He is unable to do a lot of day to day activities.

Wipeout 1 of 2 for TW today. Good news is he didn't get hurt on Wipeout #1; bad news is he did get hurt on Wipeout #2. Separated shoulder with some stretched ligaments. He'll be in a sling for 3 weeks and then have to do some physical therapy :( Kress will post more later.

Fun in the Snow and Sunshine

Travel To Breckenridge

Sorry it has been so long since I have made a post. Last Monday I got sick and I bearly got it together enough to get packed to make this trip. I have to say Abe is the most content child ever here are pics from our long day of travel on Friday.

Who need an in-flight movie when you've got a shoe, a cell phone, and some plastic cups?

Are we there yet?

GO TIGERS GO! T-I-G-E-R-S TIGERS!!!

This is the happiest I have ever seen my husband in the past 14 years. He just danced(break danced), cheered (real cheers) and kicked (like a rochette) around the living room. It is a good thing we had to watch the game by our self because Abe is still running fever. All I have to say is GO TIGERS GO!

Since Abe was sick we missed out on the D-Now festivities for today as well as a craw fish boil at my bosses house. We decided to drive down to the Tiger Book Store and buy final 4 t-shirts. If you could not make it to San Antonio this was the best place for Tiger Fans. It was crazy! It was a sea of blue everywhere we turned. Looks like we are going to have to go back on Monday to buy championship t-shirts. Go Tigers!!!

D-NOW

This weekend we hosted 5 high school boys and a student leader from the University of Memphis for a Disciple Now Weekend. One of the guys that stayed at our house got saved Friday night. God is so good! They were a great group of boys. TW and I spent most of the weekend reminiscing about when we were seniors in high school. We thought we had it figured out at 18. Man, were we wrong. Abe and I did not get to participate in the weekends festivities. We got to church Friday night at 6:00 for dinner and Abe got sick as I was taking him out of the car seat. I thought it was just a fluke thing, so I took him inside and changed his clothes. A few minutes later he starting getting sick everywhere. TW stayed for the program and Abe and I went home. I was up with him most of the night but we had entertainment because the boys stayed up and played Wii.

Great Guys!

Crazy Guys!

Abe is a quick study! He watched the guys play Wii while be was eating breakfast. They went up stairs for Bible Study and Abe got the control and started swinging it at the TV.

Looks like he is feeling better! Its amazing how fast sickness come upon the them and how fast they bounce back.

10 Things We Love About Abe at 14 Months

10 Things We Love About Abe at 14 Months:

1. If he is hungry enough he will eat almost anything. Praise the Lord! He is a great eater (right now anyway).

2. Blowing kisses – Abe is a passionate kiss blower and blows a kiss to everyone he comes in contact with. For example, the plumber came over this morning and yes Abe blew him a bye kiss. It is pretty funny because it really catches grown men off guard. He also blows kisses to tell someone to stop tickling or chasing him. When he has had enough he just blows kisses.

3. Waving – When we are playing out in the yard and a car goes by Abe will stop whatever he is doing and wave. It’s a living in the country thing.

4. Saying Hey! – If we are in the grocery store and someone passes that does not acknowledge him he will almost fall out of cart trying to get their attention and yells “hey”.

5.Walking – he is a true toddler.

6.He has gotten really attached to his daddy. Just call them Pete and Repeat.

7.He loves being outside more than anything.

8. When he wakes up in the morning he is in such a good mood. He jibbers, gabbers and talks the all morning long.

9. He actually knows what we are saying. You can tell him to go get his passy, shoe, milk etc. and he will do it. Wow!

10.He is finally facing forward in his car seat which is a big deal for an almost 15 month old. He can see where he is going and hang out with us.

Wagon Week

Last Friday the rain began and it has not stopped since. I accidently left the wagon out the day before and Abe and I pulled it up on the covered porch. He pitched a fit and wanted his wagon. I pulled it in the house and cleaned it up. These are pictures from the last week. He has had so much fun pulling, pushing, tugging, climbing in and out and riding in his wagon around the house this past week.
