A Sweet Night Out At the Park

"The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you."  ~Kendall Hailey


I thought this was a perfect quote for our life, now that we have Maverick - our family has been extended & it is a precious thing :) Last week, we got to visit with Maverick's biological grandma (Momma Lola)!! This was the 1st time we've got to visit since Maverick was born - it was a great time until MC started getting a little tired & hungry... which you will be able to see below :)

Momma Lola ~ Mr. Mike ~ Maverick Cash ~ 9.20.11

"Look at me, Da-Da!"

We finally hit "tired" ... 

We Love you, Momma Lola & Mr. Mike!!

Labor Day 2011

It's Maverick's 1st Labor Day weekend & we mostly chilled & all of that - we were blessed to have AMAZING weather on Labor Day though.... it has been so hott, that when we got this cool front, I was freezing! It was wonderful :) Since, Maverick had been surviving the summer in as little clothes as possible, today I actually had to look for him an outfit with pants!! Ha ha!! So, I looked & was hoping I had something he could wear..... and there it was .... hanging in the closet..... it was perfect...... I wasn't sure if it would fit..... but it did!!!

Total Overload

I'm on total overload - -
I'm working FT & PT with a Flea Mkt booth on the side - I have a newborn ... tonight is our "work night" at the flea market to get ready for labor day weekend - but it's also small group (which I have no idea what I'm taking..food wise) and now I've decided to compete in a talent show - - - I have to be over medicated.... 'cause this country bumpkin is in a tail spin! :)

Fun Times in the Big Pool!

Jared & I are blessed to have some great friends that let us borrow their pool one afternoon last weekend :)

It was so FUN & yet relaxing. It was Maverick's 1st time to float in the pool ~ and he loved it!!

He's getting to be such a big boy!

(....two peas in a pod)

Too Cool to Grin... :)

Daddy <3's Maverick

This is better than anything I could've hoped or dreamed for...Mommy Loves you, MC!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cool Dude ~ With New Shades

I got Maverick some sunglasses (not knowing if they would  fit his head or if he would even like them)....and I think we can call it a Success!

A Little Fun in the Big "D"

So, for several years now we've taken an annual girls trip & this year was no different - just hotter :)

We didn't get many pictures - - and basically, what happened in Dallas HAS to stay in Dallas..but this is what I can share.. ha ha

* Donna had the best luck/shopping weekend - EVER!

* Rhonda did NOT let a little cuss slip this year because of traffic/weather

*....and I may never be able to look Dale in the face again..ha ha! j/k

We also went to the nicest movie theater ever - where you didn't see any kids - there were chandeliers & fabulous furniture & you could order things like chocolate covered strawberries all the way to
Filet Mignon!

Super fun stuff & great memories ~ love you, girls!!

This was our super-fun waitress!!

Until Next Time..!

Bear & Us . . .

Last week, Jared & I watched the movie "Marley & Me" for the 1st time - for anyone that has ever had a personal relationship with a dog . . . this one is a doozie.
I have to admit that we both were crying & laughing the whole time. But all the emotions in the movie are so real life! So, I'm sharing a few pics of our "Bear", he was our 1st baby & is going on 4 (28 yrs old in dog years) We love you, Bubba (or as Brodie likes to call you " Bear Puppy)!!


 

Bear exploring mommy's purse! . .  . It's a good thing he was such a cute puppy :)

Mommy & Bear watching TV

He's getting bigger

Wrappin' his wounds with stylin' duct tape - - that's love :)

Our 1st camping trip together

Bear got BIG :)

I love him & he loves me (he listens to me more than Jared - haha)

Playing dress-up

 Bear "Bubba" Conner 

The 1st Light of our Lives... he wont know what hit him when Maverick gets big enough to yank his tail & ride him like a horse! 

This is a tribute to Jared's favorite dog that he still had when we got married. I'm not sure how old he was when he finally passed away, but he always was gentle & made me feel very safe:)  RIP Buford T Pusser 

Here ..... Fishy fishy Continued

Here are some more of the pictures I have from our weekend in Tulsa.

Enjoy!

Our CraZy lil' Fam :)

Happy Birthday America!!

Well, this is Maverick's 1st Fourth of July!! We had some outfit malfunctions - no plan "b" - but nevertheless,

we persevered :) We also let Maw-Maw watch Mav while Jared & I took flowers & fireworks to Tara because it was her birthday too! (RIP I miss you & love you like crazy)

All in all - we had a great weekend full of family & fun ..... which made us really start missing

Amanda & Brodie even more.

Playing Catch Up!

There is so much I need to catch up on - - here is a sweet pic that I've needed to share with everyone :)  I came walking into the living room one afternoon & caught the boys reading the Sunday comics together... <3
