My Baby is growing up








My first baby is growing up! Saturday was the junior/senior prom and Shane took his girlfriend Avery. Doesn't he look handsome!! Notice how much taller Shane is than me! By the way, I'm not pregnant, it's the shirt. I guess I should've tried it on first! Back to Shane--5 couples went together and rented a limo. They went to eat in Frankfort and then to Lexington for the dance. After the Prom, they went back to his friend Jordan's house for the rest of the evening/morning. It seems like everyone had a good time. All the couples looked BEAUTIFUL!! It really brings back memories. And let me tell you, for those of you that have girls only, you're lucky. I know girls can be expensive, but it's the
BOYS that pay for everything. Here's a run down:
Tux--$153
Limo--$120
Tickets--$70
Corsage--$26
Dinner--$40
Haircut--$12
If my calculations are correct, that's $421. That's not including gas to go get all these things. I know Avery's dress didn't cost that much. I get to do it all over again next year too. But it's okay, it's a once in a lifetime thing. I'm just glad I'm able to pay for those things and give Shane and Avery a wonderful evening. Avery's mom took alot of pictures and she's supposed to put them on a disk for me. I'll post a few more when I get that. I hope Shane remembers that he's never to old to be my baby and he's never allowed to move away! I love him to pieces!
PS. Click on the picture to enlarge it and get the full effect of his handsomeness (if that's a word!)

camera died

I was outside taking pictures of the guys planting all my trees and them struggling with the big magnolia and my camera dies. I thought it was the batteries so I changed batteries, nothing. I don't know what's wrong with it. I'm really upset because I actually had pictures of Shane and Isabella together if you can believe it. I really wanted to post those. He was actually home for a change. I'll see what I can do with my other camera. It's just not as good.

Pictures as promised!


It was a beautiful day today so after Isabella got up from her nap we went outside. I started out with sunglasses but she kept taking them off so I tried a hat.


OK, I've debated about this for a while. Bangs or no bangs. I wanted her hair to be all one length but keeping her bangs out of her eyes was hard to do. So I decided to do bangs for a little while. I think she looks much cuter with them. I don't like it to much in this picture si put some of it in a ponytail in the rest of the pictures. I'm going to try to keep it in a clip or 2 ponytails for a while.

The grass still amazes her.







I know I'm biased but she's just so darned cute!

Alex with Isabella.


Allen and Hunter are digging me a bunch of holes to plant trees. We always said we were going to buy Isabella a tree when she got here. I wanted a Magnolia tree for her. So we bought a HUGE tree at Landscape Alternatives. I think it was the biggest tree on the lot. We also bought a magnolia bush and 4 dogwood trees--2 pink and 2 white. Those will alternate down our driveway. They are supposed to be delivered tomorrow morning so I'll post pictures of Isabella next to her own tree tomorrow.
She has two teeth coming through on the bottom so she's been a little cranky lately. I'm hoping this lets her chew better. When she eats "big people" food she will chew it up and then spit it out. We have no idea why. She could easily swallow it but she'll chew some food then spit, chew some food then spit. Any ideas from anyone? That's about it for now. I'll try to post again tomorrow!
