Happy Anniversary Gamma KK and Pappy

Happy 46th Anniversary!  We had a great weekend visiting with you.

Buffalo Park and Zoo

 This Giraffe could curl his tongue to catch the food as you dropped it into his mouth!

The park was kind of small..but we had a good time.  Anthony loved the playground where all the kids were playing the best! Drive 1 hour to go to a playground.

Well these are old pictures but was looking back and saw that I never posted them.

Our good friends from Texas...Pat and Jayme flew into Starkville to watch the Bulldogs play last fall.

Pat let Anthony and his friend Jackson play in the plane. Wow...so cool!

Flat Tire

Oh man... got a flat tire on the way home from the gym today. One good thing is we did make it home before it totally went flat! A huge piece of metal was sticking out of my tire and when I got out of the car I could hear the air rushing out! :( Anthony loved helping Tony take the tire off and put the spare one on.

Yea! They were able to patch the tire...I didn't want to spend the money on a new tire when the other tires are just fine. All is well!!

Hot Springs Arkansas

Tony had to speak at the Arkansas Veterinary Winter Meeting in Hot Springs, AR. While Tony went to a few talks and finished preparing his (making sure the PowerPoint presentation was going to work!) Anthony and I got to visit with Maw, Carol, Pappy and Grandma KK.

We all enjoyed an afternoon at Oaklawn Park!



And as always it's fun to visit!

We had a great time and glad we were able to come with Tony. Anthony enjoyed getting to swim in the indoor pool at the hotel. In fact since we have been back home he keeps telling me that it's hot outside and time to get in the pool...not yet! I see swim lessons this summer!!

Aunt Carol's house looks fantastic with the new renovations! Also thank you Carol for the great supper and for letting us crash and visit at your house!

I have not been really good about pictures lately in fact if it was not for Maw I wouldn't have these. :) I'm going to work on that!

Cool Dude

At the farm feeding the horses last week

Showing off his tattoo he got from one of his best friends..Maddie last week

Riding his bike...can go really good with a slight slope down in the road but really hard coming back up!

The Potty Cont....

Thank you Thank you for all of you who are out there praying for us!! We are doing really good with the potty...still have to tell him every couple of hours that we need to go...and he does so can't complain. He has even told me and Tony a couple of times that he needs to go...so I'm praying that he keeps this up and we move from pull-ups to real underwear.

He has had a couple of accidents but for the most part is only going in the potty!!

Thank you LORD!

Potty Time ?!?!?!

Ok, well here we go......I've been ready for a long time now but Anthony just would not have anything to do with the potty..I have tried and tried to get him interested! He had a cool potty of his own, promise of toys, etc you name it. So now that Christmas is over and we are back in our routine I decide we need to get going somewhere with this. We take a trip to Wal-Mart buy the pull-ups and a special seat to put on our toilet all his own!

Day One....woke up dry said lets go to the potty he says not yet! I say yes....well guess what he did it and was so proud of himself that he could actually pee pee in the potty!!

Well I've bought a lot of toys from the dollar store and if we actually go we get something and if we just sit then we get something small...cookies, sucker, etc.

Still holding pretty good...over a week later...but I am worn out...have to keep asking and trying and he does go eventually but really does not care if he does go or not! Has not said mommy I need to pee pee or anything like that! I'm hoping that if I can keep this up that maybe he will! This is really hard....he is just so busy and does not want to take the time to do it...it is just not important to him!!

We have also been working on him dressing himself and that has helped more than I realized because he is feeling more and more independent now and CAN do things by himself! He can put on his pull-ups and his pants by himself! So just maybe all of this will come together soon rather than later!

I hope to be able to report back soon!

Lord please give me strength!!
