Another week of swimming!

We have mastered yet another week of ISR swim class! Grant gets better each and every day! I am so proud of him! He still screams but thats normal! I couldnt get the video to load last time.. hopefully it will work now! He has had a crowd of supporters! His Great Grandma came last week, along with Daddy, Papa G, Uncle Tol, and Little Tol!

Grant and I waiting for his lesson!

He's a little mad at Aunt Kelly right here! But she knows whats best for him!

Grant floating without assitance! I was a proud Mama!

Yay.... All Done!

And a sucker for a job well done!

Mama to the rescue!!!!!!!!! Excuse my "Morning face and hair do"

SO EXCITED to see his Papa G!

Papa and the boys!

I wished the video wasnt so blurry :( But here he floats without help and turns in the water from stomach to back!

ISR: Infant Swim Resource! Thank you Aunt Kelly!

I just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to my wonderful sister-in-law, Kelly! She's teaching one of the most remarkable programs I've ever witnessed! ISR is a wonderful program that teaches infants and young children water survival skills. I started Grant in this program last week and its 5 days a week for 4 weeks for children his age. I can't believe how much he's already learned! I wont lie, its not fun to watch because as a parent it does scare you. My theory on this is.. had I rather watch him cry and struggle with a trained professional in arms reach of him or had I rather watch him have an accident in the water and possibly lose his life? Anyways.. I'm so very proud of Grant and wanted to put up a post of his first week! Dont let the videos scare you, Kelly knows what she's doing! If anyone is interested in this program feel free to email me and I will give you her information or you can visit her blog at http://www.swimisr.blogspot.com/

This was taken right before class! What a stud-muffin in his speedo's.. or as my nephew says.. his "Skivvies".

Grant is floating without assistance! Her hands are under him just in case!

Uncle Tol comes to watch! He's making sure he's "wakeboard ready" for the summer!

Papa G comes almost every day! :)

This was his first "roll"!

Ahhh... ALL DONE!

Here is the video.. dont worry... he screams the entire time but he's fine! And he still loves his Aunt Kelly! Sorry if the sound messes up and excuse the screaming!

The Growl......

I've been telling people that Grant is now "growling" at me... but until you actually hear it... you can't understand! I finally got it on video and couldn't resist sharing it! I PROMISE this is not Me growling in the background! He's not doing it as much as he used to, but this will always be a fond baby memory for me! Enjoy "the growl" video and the photo!

PUPPIES!!!!!

Last weekend Grandma (Franklin's Mom) and Pa Ron came over to visit! Their dog, Sophie, just had 7 new pups and brought them over for Grant to see! They're about 6 weeks old and they are SO SWEET and CUTE (I THINK they sd the puppies are Austr. Shepard and Border Collie Mix but I could be wrong!)! They are giving them away if anyone wants one! Grant LOVED them and they were so gentle with him! Here are some pictures!

Two Years and Counting!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Two Years ago today I married the love of my life! We've been together a total of 6 years and I love him more every day! The past two years has brought so much happiness to my life! I married Franklin, we bought a house, and had a baby! Thats a lot! Here are some photos of our past two years!

Our wedding was held at the Embassy Suites in Franklin, TN at 6pm in the Azalea Ballroom!

Our 1st Dance!

Our honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta Mexico!

THEN.... our pride and joy was born on 9/6/08

And here we are two years later! Happy and healthy... we couldnt ask for anything more!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone!
Grant had a wonderful 1st Easter! He loved the Easter Bunny and had a blast with his cousins at the Easter Egg Hunt at Buddy and Granddaddy's!
Forgive me for the length of this Posting... it has a ton of pictures but I couldnt decide which ones I like most! So here they are!

Grant discovered he loves the grass and Buddy's pretty flowers!

Grant with his Uncle Tol! Look at Grants face.... dont worry Grant... I wouldnt trust him either.. he played mean tricks on Me when I was little! :)

HELP.. Somebody put this egg in my bucket!

Yates is on a mission!

Tol did GREAT... he found all of his eggs without help!

He also found the GOLDEN EGG! It had $20 in it.. he sd he was gonna get him a new Monster Truck!

Awww Man.... I didnt find the Golden Egg

Grandpa was Grants helper... He picked up all of his eggs for him! Thanks Grandpa!

We're serious about our Egg hunting! Hey.. there's money in those eggs!

Poor Aunt Kelly.. she got him when he was grumpy!

We try so hard to get all three boys together at each gathering... it NEVER fails.. someone is always unhappy or not looking! OH WELL!

Grant LOVES Tol... he always makes him laugh!

My Aunt Marcia was so sweet to get all the boys their own Easter baskets.... Grant looks like "Mr. Hollywood" in his new shades!

Here is Grant in his 1st Easter Sunday outfit! Charlie Daniels was the guest singer at our church and Grant loved it! He was PERFECT through the entire service!

His Easter "treats"!
