PARENT/CHILD DEDICATION

TODAY IS MOTHER'S DAY AND EVERY YEAR OUR CHURCH HAS BABY DEDICATION. THERE WERE EIGHT BABIES DEDICATED. ALL OF THE FAMILIES WERE RECOGNIZED AND ASKED COMMIT THEIR FAMILIES TO THE CHRISTIAN NURTURE OF THEIR CHILDREN. WHAT GREATER JOY...

HART FAMILY GET TOGETHER

We had a Hart Family get-together today at Uncle Tommy & Aunt Becky's. Granny Hart had it catered by Annie P's. We ate and watched the little ones play in the kiddy pool. After awhile we played a game or two (or three or four) of horseshoes. Ken and Sherri dominated the playing field. Later on the ladies sat around and caught up on the news and the men carried on the old Hart tradition of Dominoes. Everyone enjoyed each other and had a great, laid-back-kinda day.

SHARING TUBTIME

TONIGHT THE BOYS TOOK THEIR FIRST BATH "TOGETHER" AND IT WAS MARSHALL'S FIRST TIME IN THE BIG TUB. DAVIS WAS REALLY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE HIS TUBTIME WITH HIS BABY BROTHER AND IT WAS ACTUALLY EASIER FOR ME TOO. THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN!!!

THE ZOO

WE WENT TO THE JACKSON ZOO TODAY. MY DAD AND SANDY WANTED TO TAKE ALL THE GRANDKIDS. SO ANGIE, MARTY, AMBER AND I HAD ALL FIVE OF THEM READY TO GO AT 8:00 THIS MORNING. IT WAS A GREAT DAY FOR IT. ALTHOUGH WE THOUGHT IT WOULD RAIN, IT NEVER DID.














MARSHALL WAS SUCH A TROOPER. HE JUST LAID BACK AND ENJOYED THE DAY.








CHRISTINA, SHY, AND DAVIS HAD TO SHARE THE ZOO'S STROLLER. BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD HAVE HAD IT ANY OTHER WAY.





MY DAD AND DAVIS LOOK AT THE ELEPHANTS (MY DAD'S FAVORITE).

DAVIS WANTED TO PLAY WITH THE BLACK BEARS







DAVIS WAS A LITTLE RELUCTANT AT FIRST BUT DADDY FINALLY GOT HIM CLOSE ENOUGH TO TOUCH THIS SNAKE! "I TOUCHED HIM ONLY ON THE TAIL!" HE SAID.

FLASH -- A LITTLE BOY'S BEST FRIEND

Davis got a new puppy today. He named him Flash (As in, Roscoe P. Coltrane's dog Flash). He is a registered Catahoula (only he's not colored just right). He's solid black with just a little white on each foot. Of course, we had to get a collar and some toys. Davis has had so much fun with him already and Flash follows him everywhere.

FUN AND SUN

TODAY THE BOYS AND I WENT TO MY MOM'S TO PLAY WITH MY NIECE AND NEPHEW, SHY AND CHASE. ANGIE AND I FILLED THE KIDDY POOL AND LET THEM HAVE SOME FUN. THEY HAD A BALL SPLASHING AND JUMPING IN THE WATER. EVEN MARSHALL GOT IN FOR A WHILE BUT THE WATER WAS JUST TOO COOL TO STAY IN FOR TOO LONG.
