Fun at the Lake

This summer we rented a house on Kingsley Lake and enjoyed swimming, tubing, boating, fishing, sunning, relaxing and whatever else you can do at a lake. We were there for a week and since it was only 45 minutes from home we had lots of visitors which made it even more fun.

Delvy and grandpa enjoyed the swing on the dock.

Captain Nelson was usually the one piloting the boat.

This is Brandon Morse (good friends of ours son) and Zac Register (Delvy's big brother) Two of the many tubers that we pulled behind the boat during the week.

Even grandma and Delvy got in on the tubing!

Aaron caught a fish.

We had a great week. We are so glad that our friends and family were able to enjoy this fun time with us. I regret that the days that Art came I did not get any pictures of him. I will have to post some pictures of him another time.

This and that....

As usual it has been a while. Life is just too busy and I find it difficult to find time to post things. Delvy is now 7 months old. He has some teeth, loves to eat, is crawling and loves to stand up. I just got a new camera so I am posting some pictures and a video that I have taken with it.

Delvy's first teeth.

It took me about 6 pictures before I actually got one of his teeth.

Delvy was standing up in his playpen and fell down.

He just layed there so I quickly grabbed my camera.

We had to buy a new car seat since he grew too big for his other one.

Delvy likes his new seat and the box that it came in.

I got a new camera and Delvy got new PJ's.

Learning to crawl.

Dirt is so much fun!

Nelson and I went to see his mom to wish her a happy Mother's Day

and when we got home this is what we found. I quickly ran in

the house and got my camera to take advantage of this photo opportunity.

Delvy and his brother Zac playing in the dirt.

Delvy is teething and drools alot, the dark spot near his belly button is mud

created from drool and dirt.

Delvy thought this was great fun!

I never knew dirt could be so cute.

Sitting Up.

I can't believe it is May already! Where does all the time go? It has been a while since I have posted anything so I thought I would post something while I have a minute. Delvy is sitting up now so I thought I would add a few pictures of him.

Studio Portraits

I took Delvy to a portrait studio today for his first

photo shoot and wanted to share some of the pictures.

In spite of the fact that things were hectic and Delvy got

fussy before we were finished we got some really cute photos.

The pictures turned out really cute but I didn't know I needed to take out a loan, I was broke when I left the studio.

The joy of my grandbaby.

Delvy likes me to raise him up in the air on my knees.
Delvy was standing all by himself so I had to take the picture quickly.
I love that he threw his arm up, it looks like he was waving.

He's such a happy baby.

We went to the doctor yesterday for Delvy's four month check up and shots. He weighed in at 15lbs 3 oz and he is 26 1/4 inches long. He is such a sweet baby I am so glad that I get to spend time with him every day.

Our trip to the mountains.

Nelson and I went on a short trip to the mountains recently. We stayed in a three bedroom two bath cabin in Hayesville, North Carolina. The weather was beautiful and it was wonderful to get away for a few days.

Nelson's parents and Aunt Emma met us there. We had lots of fun! One thing that was really fun was playing Nintendo Wii with Nelson's mom and Aunt Emma. They had never played before and had a great time playing. We wound up bowling until 3:00 a.m.

This is me throwing my first ball of the night!

Nelson's mom Janie giving it a try!

Aunt Emma's reaction when she gets a strike!

Nelson and his dad enjoyed a game of pool at a friends home that we visited.

A mountain trip would not be complete without a hike to a waterfall. This is Amicalola Falls it usually has much more water than this and the surroundings are usually green. This has been a dry year so the water flow is slow and since it's winter the trees are still brown.
