Timmy swimming with his cousins at Maw Maw's

Timmy and his cousin, Tristan, had a great time today at the pool. I remembered to take pictures this time.

"We are ready to go swimming!"

"Hurry Tristan."

"I'm just along for the ride."

Got this pic as Tristan was right in the middle of saying something and Timmy was making a funny face.

"Yeah, I'm chillin'."

Yes, that's my son trying to drink the pool water....Yuk!

He's still trying to drink it and Tristan is looking at him as if to say, stop that's yukky.

Maw Maw trying to keep Timmy from drinking the water.

Tristan is a ham for the camera. He wanted me to continue taking pictures.

"Yeah, I'm chillin' and having a great time!"

"It's about time I got her to get me outta that floating thing."

The boys playing together and not fighting. Gotta love that!

"Hello everyone! I'm Iris. And yes, I'm spoiled."

"Time to splash Maw Maw."

"I really like this much better than the float."

Tristan splashing around with Maw Maw.

"Hmmm, what to do? what to do?"

"I'm chillin' in the float outta the sun."

"Snack time! Fishes are the best!"

"Yes, I know I'm just the cutest little boy in the world."

"Ditto what Timmy just said."

"Bad Boys Bad Boys! Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?!"

William Hall 10/20/51 to 8/7/10

William Howard Hall - born 10/20/51 went to be home with his Savior on 8/7/10. He fought a good fight, battling cancer, and is safely home.


The pics you see below I swiped from his daughter, Beverly.

I want to take a moment to give honor to William Hall. William was a husband, father, friend, and mentor. He was one of my youth leaders when I was a teenager. He loved the Lord and loved young people. He had such a heart to see others come to a saving knowledge of Jesus and was such a great example to us young people. I have always remembered he and his wife, Vicky, fondly over the years. As I look back on my years as a youth I see even more clearly how much they cared. As a youth you take that kind of stuff for granted and as an adult you look back appreciating the people that God has placed in your life to make a difference in your life. William Hall was someone who believed that anyone can change and that no one was hopeless. He was faithful to pray and be there to lend to helping hand. He will be deeply missed but he is now in a better place where there is no suffering and I can say with confidence that he is having a great time with his Lord and wouldn't trade it for anything. I love you Hall Family. Thanks for always being such great examples and encouragement to me. It is truly a blessing to know you and call you friends.

Timmy's Pool

We have a kiddie pool on our deck for Timmy but he always wants us to get in it with him. Here's a pic of Timmy and his Daddy chillin' in his pool.

"Just hangin' with my Daddy."

Uses for Channel Locks

Timmy got a hold of Daddy's channel locks one night and here are some pics of it. He had a fun time figuring them out and how they work.

"Hmmm, I wonder what these are for?"

"I wanted to bang the wall with them but Mommy says, No!"

"Oh boy they open up."

"Let's see if they fit around the toilet paper holder."

Mc D's Playground

We met my friend, Paula, and her two kids, Charlie and Andie, yesterday at McDonald's for lunch and to let the kids play on the playground. They had a great time and I got a few pics of it. Enjoy.

"On my way to the top so I can go down the slide."

"Weeeeeeee. That was fun. I'm gonna do that again."

Charlie sat nice for his pic. I look forward to the day when Timmy does that.

Andie was figuring out what she wanted to do with the wipe.

Cleaning the bench seems like a good idea.

Good Night Moon

I've been trying to remember to buy this book ever since Nan and Pop talked about it when Timmy was much younger. The other night I had an opportunity to buy it. It has become Timmy's favorite book. He asks me to read it to him again and again. He even starts saying good night to all the things mentioned in the book. It's so cute. Scottie got this pic with his iphone tonight of Timmy and me reading the book.

"I sure do like this book."

Playdate

Today I took Timmy for a playdate over at my good friend Paula's house. She has a son, Charlie, and a daughter, Andie. Timmy had a great time playing with them.

Charlie is giving Timmy his first piece of ice. Timmy wasn't sure what to do with it...lol.

After Timmy figured it out he wanted another piece and another etc...

I love eating ice and I think Timmy is going to love it too. Here he is actually putting a piece in his mouth.

This pic is a little blurred but here is Charlie singing us a made up song and playing his guitar while Andie and Timmy sit beside him enjoying it.

They had such a good time playing together today and Paula and I enjoyed having some adult conversation. When you are a stay at home mom playdates are so much fun because mommy gets a playdate too:-)!

Firetruck Tent

Scottie came home today with this:

One of Scottie's repeat clients gave it to him to bring home for Timmy.

This is Timmy's first reaction to seeing it. He was trying to figure out what it was but as soon as he figured it out it was on!

"Hi Mama. This is so cool!"

"Yeah, I know I'm cute."

"Look what I can do."

"Come on Dada. Get in." (He actually said that)

Looking out the front windows of the firetruck tent and having a great time with his Dada.

All I can say is, What a picture!

We have such great clients and this is not the first time that our clients have blessed us with stuff for Timmy. He really loved this surprise today and had so much fun playing in it for the rest of the evening.
