Hey, Bright Eyes! :) Here's our little man! I saw a little girl at work yesterday who was six months old...and Fowler looked about twice her size!! I think we've got a big one on our hands! Posted by Hello

Dewayne had a good time trying to teach his dad how to play college football on the xbox! Posted by Hello

It was such a nice day to be out and about...so we were all day! We took a drive through Starbucks for a coffee fix...and when we got home, we made home-made milkshakes! Posted by Hello

I started back to work last week, so I am a little behind on posting. Nana and PahPah came to visit! Here Fowler is showing them Forest Park. We had a great time touring around the city. We visited Forest Park, Lafayette Square, Downtown/Arch area...and of course, we had a nice dinner at Cracker Barrel!! :) Posted by Hello

Just chillin'!! It was SO HOT last week when we visited Grandmother and Pop! Fowler couldn't have been happier to be in Grandmother's arms...half-naked out on the farm!! Aren't they sweet? Posted by Hello

Fowler got to meet Great Grandma Betty (my dad's mom), too! We went to hear her perform for the residents at the nursing home! She has a group (band, of sorts) that plays at nursing homes, etc, throughout the week! Not too many kids that can say their great grandma is a rock-n-roller!!! But seriously, they put on a great performance...very entertaining! Posted by Hello

During our visit, Aunt Annie was giving Fowler some pointers on rolling over! He is very interested in mastering this skill! He swings his arm and leg over...but he can't seem to get the rest of his body to go along just yet! I'll let you know when he conquers it! Posted by Hello

And here's a first!!! All of Grandmother and Pop's grandchildren were together for the first time! They had a ball! The kids are left to right...Tori (8), Abbi (4), Levi (6), Fowler (3 months), Emmi (6), Kevin (6) and Kezzi (2). And of course, Pop and Grandmother!! Posted by Hello

Grandmother's (mom) baby chicks! Posted by Hello

This doesn't happen too often...but all sisters were together last week!! Holli, Grace, Franki and Annie...standing in age order! Aren't we cute? Posted by Hello

Fowler fell asleep during his bedtime prayers. I guess Mama was a little too long-winded! :) Posted by Hello

These are bracelets that I made out of craft pom-pom balls. I made them for my nieces...don't show them!! I haven't given them to the girls yet! I got the idea from this website...however, I didn't follow her directions exactly. http://www.maizehutton.com/pompombracelet.html Posted by Hello

Here we go!!! A big smile for Mama on Mother's Day! Don't you just love those chubby cheeks?  Posted by Hello

Today, I had a wonderful first mother's day! Fowler gave me a card when we woke up. He and Daddy worked real hard on it! It is very special...Fowler helped to paint it! The green stems and leaves are his fingers and the flowers are his heels! His first piece of art. I was trying to take a picture of him with it...but he kept thinking that it was something to put in his mouth! Posted by Hello

Cousin Kezzi is really checking Baby Fowler out!! Posted by Hello

Emmi on a sugar-high! Posted by Hello

Before heading back to our apartment, we went to another St. Louis landmark...Ted Drewe's...a concrete/ice cream joint. It is located on the old Route 66. I didn't get any pictures...I guess we were all too busy eating! :) Tori couldn't wait to get back to the apartment so that she could hold Baby Fowler again! Here they are...both sticky and sweaty from a day in the sun! Posted by Hello

Here's the whole gang! Posted by Hello

Stopping for a bite to eat... Posted by Hello

Penguins...Dewayne's favorite... Posted by Hello

We saw lots of bears! Posted by Hello

We saw alligators!  Posted by Hello

Next, we stopped at the zoo. St. Louis has a fabulous zoo...not to mention that it is FREE!! It was a beautiful day...actually, a little hot. But we got the strollers out and made a day of it! Posted by Hello

Fowler was in on the Krispy Kreme fun, too! Posted by Hello

Tori, Emmi, Abbi and Kezzi (and babydoll) pose with their Krispy Kreme hats. :) Posted by Hello
