Ok...I know the instructions say you have to be 6 months old and sit unassisted, but look at this face!
Sorry it's almost been a week without a post. I've continued to read blogs, but haven't had much to say on mine. Life continues here.
Thanks Dani for the tag. I'm supposed to list 7 random or weird things about myself. I know this will be the most interesting post I've ever written......HA! Feel free to just skim over it friends!
1. I am extremely claustrophobic. This has gotten worse as I'm getting older. Also, along with that is a fear of confinement. I truly hate this and have even been on meds to help. Crazy, I know!
2. I can't wait to work out at the gym again. Brylee has to be 3 months old before she can be kept in the nursery there. I could go when Kent gets home from work, but that is usually the first time our family is together for the day and I hate to run out for a couple hours. I lost around 40 lbs. when I started a couple years ago, but sad to say it's all back on since the pregnancy!
3. I love reading the newspaper every morning. I also watch the 6 o'clock news every night.
4. I am a hair schizophrenic. I am currently blond with a cute short hair cut. But who knows, in a few months I may be back to red!
5. I am not a good housekeeper. I actually hired someone to clean my house before Brylee was born. I think it all stems from having a bedroom in the basement while growing up. I never cleaned it and no one knew. Julie, on the other hand, had a room in the main hallway of the house, so she had to keep it clean. And she keeps a neat house, too!
6. During my 8th grade year I was voted Ms. Pocahontas Middle School. Look at the initials people! Ms. PMS! That's right folks, I was Ms. PMS. Kent reminds of that fact quite often.
7. My senior year of high school I tore my ACL while celebrating a close win in basketball during the regional tournament. So embarrassing!
I'm not going to tag anyone else. Chances are you've already been tagged anyway! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
I finally got Derek still enough to ask him some questions. He didn't think it was near as fun as Austin did!
Derek Michael Jobe was born July 11, 2000 in Mobile, Alabama. He is the smartest seven year old I know. He is a perfectionist and puts way more pressure on himself than we do. In fact, we try to downplay most things so he won't get stressed. He is your typical first born. He is a great leader, but doesn't like to be the center of attention. He has a soft, caring heart and is a great big brother. Derek is very athletic and likes to be outside. I love this boy so much. I can't wait to see what God has planned for his life.
I finally captured the smile we've been seeing for a week or so. Isn't she precious!
Also, I was all smiles when we came home from spring break to see this in Brylee's room. Ann said she wanted to come over and paint while we were gone, and boy am I glad she did. I absolutely love it. She's going to put Brylee's initials in the heart. Thanks Ann!
This is a picture from the Monroe zoo. Kent and I took the kids on Good Friday. They had a great time. In Austin's hand is the map of the zoo. He directed our path and was a great leader.....hmmmm, sometimes I wonder what that little boy will be when he grows up.
Annual decorating of eggs.
Easter Sunday.

Julie and I took off with the kids to Pocahontas for spring break. If you watch Fox News, Good Morning America, or The Weather Channel you might have seen our small town. The Black River completely flooded east and north Pocahontas. It was like nothing I've ever seen. We couldn't go up hwy. 67 into town because it was closed. So, we went around through a different town and had no problems. By Wednesday the water had receded and was off the highway. Dad gave us a tour of the flooded areas and farmland. It was crazy! I tried to put some pictures on here, but I couldn't get them to work. I've got more pictures from the zoo, Easter, and in Pocahontas, too. I'll put them on here soon. Back to school tomorrow! The boys really fought a lot this week. I am going to have to come up with something for them to do to keep me sane during the summer. Any ideas?
When Austin entered the world on February 9, 2004 our lives have never been the same. This bundle of joy is a constant source of entertainment and sometimes frustration all wrapped into one! He is so funny, but always into something. We like to call him TAZ. Here is an interview with Austin about himself.
