We went to the dentist...

... over spring break! Yeah, I could stand to update some of the things we've been doing!

First David helped with my check up. He was very interested and helped count my teeth!

Then he hopped right in the chair for his turn!

Thanks Dee Dee, Dr. Bramlett, and the rest of the office (for baby sitting Jon while we had our appointment)! David LOVED going to the dentist. Since this was his first visit I would call it successful. No cavities and he had a blast!

2 p.m. Yesterday.

The UPS man was being stalked by our 3 year old as he waited for these...



he was very happy when they arrived!

David picked these shoes out himself. He has an opinion about his clothes and sicks to his style! The only problem... he prefers jeans and it is so hot here. We will spend the morning at the ocean and he returns to put on long pants. Oh well... he'll learn. One day.

8 things...

... and thanks to Kelli Jones for getting me back on the blogging train by tagging me to do this :)! Summer is here and I truly plan to update this thing more often. Since moving back closer to family that we see often, YEAH!, I have not been very faithful with posting. That, plus the fact that I'm not sure what the point of my blog has become, leads me to avoid it. So, today I am posting and we'll see what happens tomorrow!

I give up!

I have been trying all night (well actually the past few days!) to load some pictures from EASTER!!! I know I am so far behind... but Blogger is being stubborn and I am tired, so I am just going to leave you with a picture of this precious, fit throwing, charming, passionate, often sick (yes, again!), sweet, cuddly, amazing little boy...



He is no longer a baby and lets me know everyday...

He will not sit in the high chair, only the bar stool will do.

He looks us square in the eye and shakes his head no.

I get this sentence often at school "but he's so darn cute!'' Translated: he gets away with a lot!

Unclear words are common, but you always understand when he says "David" and "Jesus".

We are so in love!

Question

How does this little baby...
(David 9 months old)


Become this little man...
(David 3 1/2 years old)



So quickly?!?

He is a joy and we love him to pieces!!!

*I am working on Easter pics and such. Life is in a certain busy season and it doesn't help that we now live in a vacation spot... the beach is so fun and provides much outdoor time! We are enjoying our family time and seeing lives changed through Wellspring.

Thought you'd like to see...

... a picture of my new niece or nephew!!! Ha, bet I fooled a few of you :)! I am so excited for my little sister, Brittany, and her hubby Matt, they are expecting this cute little peanut on November 16th! Now, the waiting begins... will they complete the "back-ets ball" (as David would say) team that my dad has his hopes up for? Or will this precious baby be the first little girl? Either way, we are so happy that God has blessed them and will be praying for a healthy baby!

I love him...

and happy to say "Happy Anniversary" to my sweet husband of 6 years! We were talking the other night and we both said in some ways we can't believe we've been married for 6 years and in other ways we can... since we have 2 active little boys, sure it feels like we've been married for a while but the part that I am amazed by is that I TRULY love Trey more everyday. This past year has stretched us, molded us, allowed us to see each other in another "phase" of God's plan for us and I can say I have never been more in love with Trey. God's calling on his life is real, he is devoted to it, and I count it a blessing to be a part of it all! We just had an amazing day at Wellspring Church and I am thrilled to see what God will continue to do through my wonderful husband. Thank you for loving me and for giving me 6 incredible years of marriage!
