Yesterday started early with helping a friend, then off to Burleson to see our little guy and his Mommy.  Today was laundry and school work for me.  I wish I had a few more days off.  Here are the pictures of Gage.

First let me say that I love this girl.  Not like someone loves to take pictures, but I love her like my own.  Her Mom and I have know each other since before Alex was born and ever since, she has been a part of our family and so has her brother Cole.  I remember when she was born and I look at her now and see what a beautiful young lady she has become.  This is just a few and I am getting so sleepy, but I had to show her off just a bit.  Tomorrow we are headed to Ashleigh and Keith’s to see our little guy Gage.  Get ready for new baby pictures; until then, look how pretty my girl Alex is….

Love you Alex….

I can’t believe as hot as it has been that we have not been to the lake more.  Even more, I can’t believe this was Shelby’s first time EVER on a boat.  Shelby is Sean’s girlfriend and they had a good time hanging out with the old folks…

Kickin it old school

John caught 5 fish early in the day, then around 2:00 we saw a  school of fish feeding in the distance.  We drove over and in less than 15 minutes, John and Sean caught 20 fish.  Looks like we will be having a fish fry soon….

Hopefully next weekend we will being seeing Gage….  get ready for cuteness if we do….. 

Yes, we have another Grandparent to show…  Gage is so blessed.  This is Steve, Keith’s Dad.  (Pay no attention to the shirt, he is really not that kind of swinger)

Uncle D-Ray (it is really Dustin, but he likes D-Ray) BTW, this is Keiths “little” brother…  he is 15.

Get ready, here comes the cuteness…..

He is thinking really hard…

Go Steelers!!!  He is being raised right!!

Oh yeah, he loves his fingers, he get’s serious about them at times..

This is Levi, he is 11 months old and such a cutie patootie….  He is Gages cousin and the son of Chance, who Keith get’s into mischief with.  I feel certain these boys will be following in their father’s footsteps!

Those eyes….

I love the drool….

Maddie showing some love….

Gage makes it home….. 

You will want to just watch him—his eyes, his hands, his movements——for hours.  It’s normal.

Just another great day… 

The 5 keys to being a good Mom

1.  Pray for him every day!

2.  Respect his father!

3.  Do everything in your power to create a peaceful home!

4.  Feed him love, morals, values and integrity daily!

5.  Be a strong a strong woman!

I can only end with this….

“At times, you will be blown away by the depth of your love for him”…….   I am officially blown away!!!!

Wanted to show you a few more of Cassie….  The next pictures you see on this blog will be of our grandson, Gage.  He will be here Tuesday and his Mommy and Daddy are soooo ready.  To be honest, the rest of Gage’s family is ready too….  For now, check out this beauty…

Meet Cassie, she wanted pictures for her 16th birthday, and let me tell you, (to quote Devon)  wowza…  she is so pretty and has these killer eyes.  I won’t mention who she looks like, but I bet some of you can tell.

This is Daisy, (the little sister) and she is completely cool.  She wants to be a lawyer or a judge or a super model…  way to go Daisy!

It was real sweet to see siblings who really get along, you can really tell they love each other…  can we get an awe there? 

and a little photo booth action…

Just a sneak peak Cassie, hope you like them.  Thanks for being a good sport!!
