Easter and Spring Break

Clay wore a sailor outfit for "Easter" Resurrection Sunday.

It was a good day in all aspects. We went to church and then myself (Tracy), Clay, Meme, and Granddaddy hit the road to go see family in Florida. We didn't have church Sunday night and Monday began spring break so the timing was perfect for a quick trip. Brad stayed behind because of work and turkey hunting.

Clay was peeping around the chair to see where his Granddaddy was at. And, he found him!

This is Clara and Clay riding in the wagon at Clara and Ellen's house.

Earlier that same day we went to the park.

This was an airplane they rode on.

Here are the girls. They stopped for a quick second to smile for the camera but not long enough to wait on Clay to get in the picture with them.

He crawled and walked all over that play set. And yes, he is walking now. Walking quite well.

Clay went down the big slide with Mom Supervision.

Granddaddy with his three grands.

Clara was posing for the camera here. It was too cute.

They were really having fun here, although it doesn't really show.

The Saturday before Easter, Emma Kate had her first birthday party.

It was a Mad Hatter Tea Party and lots of fun.

Emma figured since most guys don't like tea parties, that a round

of golf would be something they could do while the girls sipped tea.

Clay is already showing signs of being an All Star Golfer, just like his dad.

Spring Break, Easter, the tea party . . . we had a good week.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

The week-end of March 20th. We were
outside all afternoon enjoying the warm
day, working, and having some fun too.
Clay loves to play in the dirt, ride the tractor,
and get on and off the golf cart.

March Update

The past month or so has been very busy. Here is a brief update of a few of the events in our life.

This is a picture of Clay on his 14 month birthday.

No, he isn't walking yet. He figures, "Why walk??? I have my entire life to walk. And, I can get where I want to go crawling or being carried."

Ellen and Clara came to visit with their mom and dad on the week-end of March 12th.

If you can't tell, these two are sisters.

This is the three

of them at Meme's

and Granddaddy's

house.

This is a picture of Clay finding new places to explore at the house.

We got plants the week-end of Feb. 12th. There were

lots of holes to be dug, plants to plant, and pine straw

to put down.

Clay observed much of the work from his wagon.

This is Saturday, 2-13-10. It snowed the night before and this was the remains the next morning. (You can see the man placing the plants in the background.)

The night of the 12th.

It was so pretty and peaceful.

Feb 12th, Clay's 13 month birthday. It snowed just for him.

Clay is "walking"!

On February 3rd Brad and I were sitting in the kitchen talking and Clay was in the other room playing. All of a sudden we heard a "new" sound and it was Clay pushing his car toward us. He was grinning with all his might at his somewhat new accomplishment. Yes, he has done this months ago but not with the confidence, speed, and distance that he did it (and has done it numerous time since) on this day. He is a pro!




















This is a good picture of my two boys.

Clay's 1st Birthday

On January 16th we celebrated Clay's first birthday with friends and family. He tried chocolate cake and icing for the first time and received plenty of presents to spoil him until Christmas. We all had a wonderful time and Brad and I are still amazed that Clay has already been with us a year. We have been so very blessed. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

(This picture was taken on his actual birthday, the 12th. The rest of the pictures were taken at the party.)

This picture was taken before the guests arrived. He was enjoying playing with the balloons.

Trip to Orlando

Brad, myself, and Clay are in Orlando. Garett, Amy, Ellen, and Clara met us down here for some summer fun. Here are pictures with proff of the fun. They are somewhat out of order, but we like them.

Clara, "cousin IT", and Clay with his mohawk.

These two are six months apart in age.

Clara practicing getting in her float.

Ellen went down this slide . . . twice.

She wasn't too happy about it.

Clay in his SPF surfer swimsuit.

Ellen after she went off the slide.

Clara fighting a nap.

This is Clay's idea of shopping.
