"my weeekend while mommy was away"cont.....

I caught my big cousin Jackson checking me out a few times. People say he resembles my daddy with all of those freckles on his face. I wonder if I will look like Jackson too?
Silly cousin Ellie LOVED my crib! I am not sure why....because I don't!!!!

The "brothers" laughed all night watching "A Christmas Story". Must have been pretty funny! My worry at this time was that I wasn't going to be going to my crib!

So far, so good! I heard my Aunt Stefie say she was going to stay with me the entire night on the couch. wooohooo!!

O.K. I admit it! I love my paci! I always have. But for some reason my Auntie and cousins could not stop laughing at me this morning while a enjoyed a little "me" time. I even gave them all a break from having to hold me. I hope my Aunt Stefie leaves this paci at my house. I just love the way it fits my mouth!!

Baby Hays and his first 4th of July

Our family has a tradition of celebrating the 4th on my sister Stacy's dock. We sure didn't want to leave out little Hays. The boat stayed docked, and Hays stayed very cool that way. Not even 2 wks. old, he was very included in our 4th of July celebration. There was actually about 20 some kids around. Tons of friends as well. Lots of action and loads of fun. I love babies....I love babies...I love babies...especially when it's Hays!!
My Dallas is so Good with him!

Ellie giving him a little kiss on the head.

Baby Hays on the 4th...cont.......

Coop so proud of his new baby cousin
Little Ellie, beaming with joy to be holding this little one.

Look at that little face, and you can already tell that he loves his aunt Stefie very much!!

Had to get Jackson in on the "Hays" 4th of July photos. Notice he didn't stop long enough to sit and hold the newborn, but make no mistake, he loves him very much!!

Dallas adores Him!

Tybee vacation summer 2010

Once again this summer my sister Stacy and I took our families to Tybee Island Georgia to create more great memories! We also talked our parents into going with us. We all drove, got there Saturday morning, and mom and dad had to rush out of the state on a one way flight back to Missouri due to our little sister, Natalie, unexpectedly needing to have her baby. They left early Wednesday morning..............did I say ....create memories? Boy did we ever!!
Cooper D.

OHHHH to be a kid again! Doesn't that look heavenly? Unfortunately I found this in the fridge the next morning, and before I knew it, I had finished it off.....oops! Oh well, it was delicious!!!

Dallas and Sophie having a little fun while we all wait in line to eat at Mrs. Wilkes in Savannah.

WE tried to get Cooper to stop doing this for his own safety, however he would slow way down and actually it is so stinkin cute and totally defines his personality. Very talented huh?
