Flower beds and some randoms of Sophia and KJ

"Lets watch this tonight mom!"


We finally finished the front flower beds. Mike started cleaning the rust off the sidewalk too. Check out the difference, CLEAN vs NOT CLEAN!

I know the flower beds still look plain but we will add stuff to them gradually...once we pay off the Lowe's card.... again :(

We dug the white rock out of the side flower bed and put the river rock in......

"Hey, check out my coaster!"

Uggg, can't a dog get a nap around here!

All I want is a friggin nap!

Sophia visits with Gamma and Miss Bonnie!

"Look Gamma, I'm a fish like Daddy and Aunt Mary!"


"Gamma, Please squirt the water hose in my face!"

"Gamma, Thank you so much for taking me with you and Miss Bonnie to Savannah, I feel like such a big girl!"

"Gamma, this is awesome!"

Miss Bonnie lookin hot!!

Sophia posing for the camera!

"Hey Gamma! I love you!"

Sophia with Gamma.

"Hey KJ!"

hehehehe, my daddy is home and I love it!!

Yea.. I'm trying to play with my drum....

Can't you see I'm busy... (This is my 12 month outfit from my Aunt Mary!)


playing with my drum!

Yes mom! I am still busy!!!

I want to play with my drum in peace, please!!

What's the ruckus about in here????

Sophia can hold her own!

Kicked back watching some cartoons and enjoying a little mid-morning bottle....


Chillin....

Hey Piglet!

Sooooo phiiii aaaa

The look of pure concentration...


Grandma King is feeding Sophia ice cream and guess what... I think she liked it!

Grandma King and May-Love (Mavis) spent a wonderful 4th of July weekend with us! They were able to get some beach and baby time!

I'm not sure who is having more fun here....

Well, Mike took Sophia to the doctor, she had to see a specialist about her eyelid (she has what appears to be a blood blister in the eyelid). The specialist dialed Sophia's pupils and checked her eyes, they look great. The doctor still wants to make sure there isn't anything in her lid, so Mike scheduled an appointment for Sophia to get an MRI. More to follow on that.....

He said that the women in the office kept giving him weird looks, I guess they didn't think a father would be able to take "care" of his daughter's doctor's visit... I have news for all those women, if he wasn't competent enough to take his 7 month old daughter to the doctor then he shouldn't be competent enough to have a daughter. That's my opinion :)

Well, Mike's home but not completely, he still has to stand duty every third day in addition to working his shift which can last anywhere from 8 to 10 hours a day....so we are thankful for the time he has at home when he is home but miss him like crazy when he is at work :(

Also, Mike and I have decided that when he gets out of the navy he will take advantage of the post 9/11 Montgomery GI Bill... it's a pretty sweet deal! He has also changed his major to Mechanical Engineering.... this is neat- again, his initials MED - also stand for Mechanical Engineering Degree, ha ha! He will be attending the University of North Florida!! YEA GO MIKE!

What else...sorry I've missed some posts, I am still going to try and post as often as I can, Sophia is changing so much it's a daily thing.....

Sophia is such a social butterfly! We visited with some friends last night, we actually crashed their camping party.. ha ha .. anyway, Sophia played until well after her bedtime and she didn't cry or get cranky at all! I was very proud of our baby girl!

Our little princess....

Now she has the crown too....


Yea, you are funny....

Standing up...

Yes mom....

Now this is what I like to see...
