He Is Risen!

Wesley and Shea had a full Easter Weekend...

They attended the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt,

Worshipped at Central Church Easter Sunday,

Celebrated and hunted more eggs at Ginny's house.

They were worn out by the time Sunday night came.  But very thankful for all the joys of the Holiday!

CORN and TOAST...

Wesley enjoyed his Corn-on-the-Cob while 

Shea had her first Zwieback Toast...

                                                 YUM YUM YUM!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Wesley and Shea!

Family Time At The Zoo

We had so much fun at the zoo the weekend  before last.  

  The weather was perfect and the zoo was so much fun!  

            Here's some pictures from our exciting day!

HAPPY GIRL!

While the boys were away, Shea had a photo shoot and loved some Mommy Time.  

                          She is such a happy girl and joy to get to know and love.  

                         She is so smiley and content....my sweet, sweet baby girl.

Go Tigers!

So David came in town so he and Jay could go to the Memphis game.  

Wesley was loving all the maleness in the house.  He had so much fun with David.  

And even though he did not go to the game, he dressed the part well.  

He is so excited over his "bank"that the Banker David made for him.  

He has already saved quite a bit for his trip to ride Thomas the "ChooChoo".

Collierville Snow

                         Saturday was an exciting day!  It snowed...snowed 8 inches!  

                            This was Shea's first snow and Wesley's first REAL one.  

                He got out and ran around in it.  We attempted to build a snowman. 

          But mostly just had fun.  Shea got a feel of it and went back in to stay warm.

Harvest Festival Fun

We had so much fun at the Harvest Festival at the Agricenter last Saturday.  Wesley RAN through the mini corn maze, got to PET the camel he named "O", ATE popcorn and cotton candy (as seen in the picture) and RODE a hay ride pulled by a real John Deere Tractor.  It was a nice day outside and we came home high on sugar and arms filled with pumpkins and fresh veggies.  All the while Shea slept and woke up for water breaks (it was warm).  We love Harvest Time!

PERFECTION

Shea went to see Dr Bubba today and he told her she is growing PERFECT!  She is now 9 pounds 14 ounces and is 22 1/2 inches long.  I can't believe she has grown 2 1/2 inches and gained over 2 pounds.  She still seems so little.  She is doing so much...smiling, cooing, reaching for objects.  She even rolled over the other day to my surprise!  She even sleeps through most nights...what a good girl for mommy and daddy.  She is very sore from her shots today but being quite the champ.  Yeah for Baby Shea!  She is just perfect...

Lamby

Wesley's best friend is Lamby.  Lamby eats with him, takes naps with him and goes everywhere mommy will let him go.  So we decided to take a height picture of these two to show how Wesley grows...

LOOK OUT Michael Phelps...Here I come!

Memphis Zoo

 Wesley and Shea's first trip to the zoo was great!  Jay had the day off so we went exploring.  Wesley loved the giraffes and polar bears.  He really just loved it all and hasn't stopped imitating  the monkeys since.  Baby Shea slept through most of the event but enjoyed the perfect weather.

Baby Activities

Well, these days, Baby Shea mostly eats, sleeps, makes diapers and sleeps.  Here are a couple of pics of her.  Note Wesley giving her a rock in her car seat.  What a helpful big brother.

Big Brother Blues

Big Brother Wesley has been adjusting to his baby sister...but he is doing much better now.  Here are some pictures of his snooty face while he was getting used to her.  Now he is quite protective and always makes sure we don't leave her at home when we leave or leave her in the car when we make Target runs.  He cannot play with her yet but he sure keeps up with where she is at all times.  He is a sweet big brother!

TA DA! Madison Shea has Arrived!!

Monday, August 11, 2008, 2:40 pm, Madison Shea Snow made her arrival into the world.  She weighs 7 pounds 4 ounces and is 20 inches long.

We finally made it home from the hospital on Wednesday at about 10:30 am....we were so ready to get out of there and get her home!

Ashley and Madison are both resting and recovering well from the big event.

Wesley is already trying to help in any way possible.

We just thank The Lord that Madison and Ashley came through everything without any problems.

Our family is so blessed in so many ways.  We are continually thankful for all of our wonderful family that loves and supports us!

Waiting Game...

UGH...this is the waiting game!  Everyday you get the house clean, clothes washed and folded, bag ready again, plenty of fresh milk and food for Wesley...everything perfect, thinking THIS IS IT, IT WILL BE TODAY!  and then nothing!  Guess the doctor was right...Baby Madison Shea is in no hurry as she has her comfortable place with her doll house and in no rush.  So I guess we will meet her Monday morning sometime...August 11.  We'll post the update and pics later!

BIRTHDAY BOY!

Wesley is now "TOOOO" as he'll tell you.  He had a great day...went to the doctor and got the "perfect" check until next year.  It's hard to believe he is a preschooler now and we don't need to make checkups, shots or anything else every couple of months.  He is a big boy now.  These days are just getting ready for his baby sister who will be here soon..."Oh, No...", He says...:)

Wesley is TWO...almost!

Wesley had soooo much fun at his birthday party.  He got to share it with his cousin Josh and Dada because we celebrated early getting ready for baby sister.  He ate kabobs, carrots and lots of cake, opened presents and cut the pasture at Ginny's with his new lawn mower.  Here are some pics of his fun night!
