The "Rehearsal"

Friday night, family and friends gathered at "The Charles Ezra Daniel Memorial Chapel" at Furman University to rehearse for the wedding followed by a wonderful dinner at the Younts conference center on campus.

It was just a delight getting to meet all of Kimberly's family that traveled from New York. Her parents were so sweet as well as her two sisters and their families.

After an evening of good food and fellowship, we all headed home to rest up for "The Big Day".

Here are few pictures from the evening.

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY......

....for my brother-in-love and soon to be sister-in-love to "tie the knot". We are so excited for these two and are blessed to be able to share this special time with them. Although, we will be battling the cold weather that has come in, I pray that the weekend goes the way they want it to and that they are able to enjoy every minute of it. It is a time that will fly by and be over before you know it.

Clint and Kimberly, probably by the time you read this, you will be married and back to share the wonderful memories of your exciting trip in Mexico. So, we love you both and are happy to have Kimberly become part of the family. It is time that we add another female to the bunch since us gals are out numbered.

I will for sure take plenty of pictures so I can share them with you all..... Please keep Clint and Kimberly in your prayers for their health and safe return from their trip.

Made a Mommy's Day

Just recently, Cohen has officially picked up the letter "M" and has started saying Momma. I was so thrilled to finally hear that word come out of his mouth and hoping that he would stop referring to me as "Baba". If you ask him to say momma, he would use the the b sound. I was willing to take whatever he wanted to call me, but it sure feels nice to actually hear the real thing. So this week, he has been going around the house saying the sweet little sound a mommy loves to here. I might add that he hasnt yet called out for me as Mommy but we still have time for that.

Let's Dance!

Most of you know that in a few short days we have a big event to attend "Uncle Clint and Aunt Kimberly's Wedding". Which we are so excited and cannot wait to be a part of this special event. For the ones that don't know, Cohen's mommy loves to dance unlike his daddy. So I have been talking and working with him, as much as a I can since he started walking, about dancing. In hopes that a 15 month old might just be able to show a little dance move at his Uncle's wedding. He normally would just do a up and down movement but this week, he decided to pull a little Fred Astaire on us. To give a little more insight, I had purchased him a pair of slippers and when I put them on, he just went to town with the tapping. It was so cute and not really sure what made him do this because he has never done this while he has worn regular shoes. But is was so adorable and daddy was able to catch a little video of this action.

Fun in the Leaves....

Sunday was such a pretty day and after enjoying some good food at GG's, Charlie and Pops took Cohen outside to ride his power wheels. Cohen seemed to take a liking to the leaves so I went out to get a some shots.

Here are a few more pics from our fun day in the leaves.....

The weekend seemed to be a little busy but not too hectic. Our norm Tuesday night dinner with my in-loves had been moved to Friday night which we enjoyed one of Charlie's favorites, Chicken Casserole or as Charlie would call it "Kathy's Casserole". Yummy! I believe it has become one of my favorites too.

Saturday, Cohen and I made our way to check out the new Wal-mart on Pelham, which I have to say was a nice store, to do our normal grocery shopping. After dropping the groceries off, we met Grandma and Papa at the mall to visit for a little while. During this fun time, Charlie went over to help GG and Pop's with a house issue. Later, we joined them for a little while.

Sunday, we headed off to church and then headed over to GG and Pops. After another wonderful meal, some fun time in the leaves and a little rest, GG and I went to their church to enjoy a drama called "Heaven's Gates and Hell's Flames". It was really good and it sure does put things into perspective. It was exciting to see all the ones that went down to except Jesus. Thinking we would come home to two men and a little boy asleep, we found them watching the Wizard of Oz. Cohen was just sitting with Pops with a bowl of cheerios and in deep thought of what was going on in the movie. We were told that he had been watching from the beginning and at that time it was almost an hour into it. It was so adorable and I found myself wanting to watch him instead of the movie. So Cute.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Ride'm Cowboy!

"Hi Ho Silver" is what Uncle Clint would say while riding this horse when he was just a young'un. GG and Pops decided to get out "Silver" the horse to see if Cohen would like it and so he did. Pops would say "are the Indians coming" and Cohen would look behind him to see if they were and then turn and try to take off. It was so cute. I decided to try to catch his excitement on video via cellphone so the picture isn't that clear. It has been neat to see all the toys that the boys played with and now Cohen can enjoy the same ones that his daddy and uncles did.

T.G.I.F.

Well it is that time again, for all of us to have a few days off and enjoy whatever it is we all enjoy. For me, it is spending time with Charlie and Cohen. Tonight, we are going over to GG and Pops to partake in another one of GG's delicious meals, so looking forward to that. I intend to work around the house cleaning and re-organizing some things. Getting rid of stuff we don't need or use. So we will see it that actually happens.

I will leave you with a few pictures of my adorable little man. Cohen loves to look at books, pictures and magazines. It is so cute to hear him look at something and say "whoa", turn the page, and say "whoa" again.

Have a Great weekend!
