No Corn on the Cob, Please!!!

To everyone out there...

No matter what -- do NOT give this little girl corn on the cob!! She's sweet, and you want to give it to her, but don't do it... it's not pretty!

If Canaday loses anymore teeth (she's lost 6 now!!)... #1 The toothfairy is going to go broke; #2 She's going to have to go back to eating baby food; and #3 We may just have to have her fitted for some dentures!

But she sure is PROUD!!

As many know, Justin and Jack are HUGE Elvis fans... here in West Tennessee there have been a lot of Elvis movies/documentaries, etc. on lately because of the anniversary of his death. We have been watching without fail!! This past Thursday, August 16th, was the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death.
Jack wore his tribute t-shirt and did some "Elvis" moves. I was sure to get it on film! He doesn't think Elvis is dead "because he's right there on our TV"!

and here's Clancy doing her "cry like a baby" trick to show how sad she is about Elvis.

and here's one of Justin and Jack (aka big Elvis and little Elvis) from Halloween 2006!... just to prove what I'm saying about them loving ELVIS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROWAN!!!!

Today is my sweet nephew Rowan Thomas Baker's FIRST birthday!! He's such a sweet, precious, happy baby!! Happy Birthday Sweet Rowan!!... we are so happy you came into our family!!

This picture was taken a couple of months ago... he's adorable!

Blogging.... and back to school

Well, Okay... I'm going to give this a shot... I have these high expectations of myself... hoping to keep up -- cute sayings and observations -- amazing photography -- we'll see how all that goes! :)

Today is a big day... first day of school... Canaday and Jack go half a day today... Canaday is in Kindergarten and Jack is in 4 yr. old Kindergarten! Man... where has the time gone?? Aren't they still babies? To me, I guess they'll always be. Clancy is still here at home with me while those two will be gone ALL day 5 days a week... however, Miss Clancy will be going to Mother's Day Out 2 days a week. As I type now, I have MUCH, MUCH more help than I need... she's pressing keys for me! - Thanks, Clancy... the backspace key has never been used this much!
So, I took pictures of "going to school", but have got to figure out how to post them on here... they'll come later. I could cry thinking about them with their little backpacks on and their anxious little smiles... so BIG!! Okay... enough for now. Pictures later!

and now the precious pictures:::::



at home before school....
"Mama, WHY do we have to keep taking pictures??"...
"because Mama is trying to find a way to avoid dealing with how she feels about y'all growing up so fast!!"





at school... the assistant is helping them... Jack isn't EVEN scared like I just knew he would be!!! My heart is breaking about now... but, I'm putting on the smile... the excited smile on the outside... the trembling heart on the inside...






and there they gooooo.... "Look back at Mama... Look back at Mama.... Pleease..." They didn't look back. And the tears started... and the car pulled away... and so starts another chapter in our lives...









and here's Miss Clancy-Priss ready to go to Mother's Day Out... "what's all the fuss about??"
a big day for everyone!!










PHEW... got the pictures loaded... hopefully this will get easier the more I post... stay tuned...
