Trenton Park



Gee, I've got to do better at posting!! I've gotten out of the habit and I am going to do better. Here's a couple pics okay more like 100 pics of an afternoon spent at the park with my Mama, Daddy and little nephew from a couple of weeks ago. Mama (aka Nannie to Kason) and Daddy were babysitting Kason and they decided to take him to the park in Trenton. So what's an Aunt to do but grab her camera and meet them. My sweet sister in law, Amy , loaned me a very nice Sony camera so I was dying to use it. The flash is broke so I have to use the natural light that God gave us and it was a beautiful day!

Here's some of my favorite pics:


I haven't been on a see saw in at least 15 years!

Nannie's turn to ride the see saw!

Kason would slide down and stop to give Pa a kiss. He's full of sugars!



He's so happy!!!

This picture reminds me of my Brandon at this age!






Here I come!




Special memories!!

Kason hugging Pa tight!





Kason was sitting on this little ledge and the next think I know this hapenned...look at next picture!

OPPPS, he fell! I couldn't help but laugh (once I knew he was okay!)



He said, "Nannie, that hurt!"...he was A okay! He's one tuff little guy!

We had such a fun afternoon seeing life through the eyes of a sweet little boy. We are very blessed to get to see Kason every week. :)

Until Next Time~

Let's Help!!!


I'm so proud of my sweet sister, Karen Driggers, for stepping up to the plate and helping this little boy named Michael. She saw the need that this family has and has been collecting monies and gifts to send to little Michael. 

I k
now we all including myself take for granted in having our healthy children. But what if they weren't healthy and we couldn't honestly do anything about it. We would definitely be praying and would greatly appreciate any kind of help that we could get. So please take 5 minutes out of your day and read this STORY.  Maybe you can help in some small way? I know that is on my list of goals for Monday..to send a care package to Michael. I'm saying this to hold my self accountable. It's so easy in our busy life to have good intentions to do something and then a month passes and I still haven't done anything. 

Thank you Karen for all you do to help not only this family but many others throughout the year. You are inspiring to me!!!!!! You make this big sister very proud!! I love ya bunches.

Happy 3rd Birthday Kason Lane!!!!



     I can't believe my little nephew has turned THREE years old! Wow! Talking about time flying. Karen went with a cowboy themed birthday for this little cowboy. He dearly loves his guns, cowboy movies, & his bouncy horse. He will ride his horse, watch his movie and shoot the bad guys! Honestly they could pack all of his toys except for his guns and horse and he would be just fine!

     I think what impressed me most about the party wasn't the decorations or even the cup cakes (even though I loved both), it was his manners!! He would open a present, look around the room until he found the person and then would thank them for his gift!!!! It blew my mind. He really impressed this aunt!! (great job, Mom and Dad!!!!!!!!)

Here's some of my favorite pics from the afternoon:

I loved the burlap runner, the red bandana napkins and the cupcakes were delicious!

So cute! 


These little burlap goodie bags for the kids were too cute! (inside little stick on moustache's!!)

I'm so proud to say I made this bday banner for Kason's party! Thank goodness for my Cricut! :)

Hold'em up mister!!



Time to blow out the candle! 

Yummy!!! See the gun in the front of his pants pocket? lol

He had so much fun unwrapping presents!

He's thanking his Uncle Robert for his gift!! 



He was giving "thank you" hugs!

Charity and Aunt Kathie! 

Fun times!
