WaWa

A recent trip to WV would not have been complete without swimming in the hotel "wawa". I can easily say that Baker is addicted to swimming. She plays in the "wawa" everyday. It's hard to say what she loves more: jumping in the pool, going under water, or being tossed in the air.

Grandy!

Today we said our goodbye's to Grandy. Lacy's dad, Andrew Williams, went to be with the Lord on Monday, July 12th. Baker will hear many wonderful stories about her Grandy and how much he adored his family. We love you Grandy!

This picture was found in Andy's bible, that was on his bedside table.

A Visit from Bebe!

Bebe made a special trip to the Upstate to keep Baker while Lacy and I enjoyed our get-away to Atlanta. Bebe easily filled her visit with loads of fun for Baker.
Really Baker? Is it that bad?

I guess not!
Baker wakes up saying yum, yum and wa-wa! The girl loves to start each morning with food and swimming.

Bebe bought Baker a mud pie making toy. We've spent many days playing/cooking with mud.

She loves to put the mud pies in the pool after I finish "eating" her delicious treats.
At the end of the day it's hard to distinguish mud pie "drippings" from dog crap!

Nothing says summer like delicious pieces of watermelon!

Celebrating the 4th!

We spent this 4th of July celebrating with a great group of friends. On Sunday we joined some friends at the lake for a BBQ. The only way to get Baker out of the water was introducing her to the food table and meeting her new love the, ATV. Lacy took her on several rides and she never stopped grinning. She was also content just sitting in it, yelling "push-push" while pointing the pedal and saying "beep-beep".
I never knew how much sand that little bit of hair could hold!

On Saturday, we joined Kate's family for dinner and fireworks. Baker couldn't take her eyes off the fireworks. At the end, she clapped and cheered.

Road Trip!

This week, Lacy and I enjoyed a fun overnight trip to Atlanta to see the Braves. Our great friends, Justin and Chrissy joined us. It was nice to have a night without kids! The last time Lacy and I went to a game, I was 5 months pregnant.From our seats, we could see everything in the dugout. The only rule was, we could only take pictures between innings.

Baker is a baker!

I usual, I was craving something sweet after dinner. I was sure Baker was too, so we joined forces to bake a festive 4th of July cake, sprinkles and all! She could not believe I was letting her hold the mixer while it was on. I was a little nervous. Images of the bowl sliding off the counter and batter decorating the kitchen, crossed my mind.

Yum! Yum! Yes, I'm one of those parents who let their kids eat lick the batter! Her Uncle Colin would fight her over that bowl!

Baking a cake with Baker was a success and fun!

A Visit with Gin-Gin!

This past weekend we headed south to Pinopolis to visit Gin-Gin, Baker's great-grandmother. It was nice to get away and relax. Baker enjoyed making her Gin-Gin laugh!

Baker's favorite thing to do was climb in the chair with Gin-Gin and "rock-rock". It quickly became a game.
