This is me wishing I was on vacation!

This is pre-Causey, not that i would trade her for the world, but........ i might trade her for a good European vacation! Paris, Italy and England..........those were the days! Now i would kill for a full night's sleep at the Days Inn! So for all you childless couples, go on VACATION! We had a blast and I am glad we were able to go before life got too complicated, we should have gone on more when David was in school. Now he has "vacation days", not to mention a child at home! At least we have the memories! Thanks mom and dad for some fabulous trips and some even better stories!

Who let the dogs out!

Thanks to Fergie Ferg for this adorable outfit! Causey is so excited about football session, she is too young to be jaded! She and Neal have been over the fight song about a million times, she is ready!

Its getting hot in here!

Ummm.......yes that was inside our house at 2 in the afternoon! The worst it got was 86! That is crazy! Causey was in her diaper for a week! Little redneck baby! Poor thing she was so hot! We left married student housing looking forward to central air, now i would kill for a window unit to set her in front of!

Thanks Hayden

Thanks to Hayden Barber! She gave Causey some clothes! She is still in 3month stuff and i was getting very tired of the same old stuff! So Mandy gave us some of Haydens things that her normal size child outgrew 3 months ago!

Pet the puppy

If you tell Causey to "pet the puppy" she will reach out and try and pet her! Maizy is not impressed and will just look at her like "no, really its ok, hands to yourself!"

How to beat the system

This is how my child reaches things without having to actually turn over! She hikes one leg up and reaches behind her to play with her toys! She can turn over, just chooses not to!

Excuse me..........

This crazy lady named Tweetie for the last 3 months has been sticking her finger in my mouth! This time she got a little suprise! I have my first tooth! Who knew, my mom didnt, cause i have sucked and chewed on things since i was in her tummy!

The dress

Can anyone say Queen Elizabeth? This is Causey's gown! Sandra Ashford made this dress for Causey. She made Neal and I's clothes when we were little and then made my wedding veil. The fat lace around the bottom and sleeves is the lace from my mom's veil! So sweet! She did this as a gift to Causey and all the other Wise/Jones grandchildren!

I have never been to Big Church before

She was slightly terrified when the organ started but then was fine! She did great through the whole long day!

Look guys.................

Look guys, I've been really good! But i want to take a nap! Ah yes i remember this stomach, very comfortable!

Me and my daddy!

Loving all the attention, much Causey?

I'm sorry this picture just makes me laugh out loud! Life is good!

More bonnet than head

I am still waiting for a picture with her dress in it!

Undershirt and Bonnet

I didnt want to put her in her carseat in her gown so she went in her "skivies" and bonnet! So funny!

Baptism

Causey was baptised this weekend! We will have some more pictures soon! I love this little girl! Doesnt she look like something from the 1830's! So sweet! Keep checking! We are waiting on "olin mills (my dad)" to send us more!

I love books!

I love children's books. We try and read everyday! Luckily my mom is a crack addict when it comes to children's books! She has a problem and has accepted it!
I always get a little overwhelmed when i try to go pick one out! These are some she got Causey recently and i just thought i would share them!

Major Seperation Anxiety

O my gosh!

Seperation Anxiety? Someone help! What do i do, how long does it last, when will it ease up, why is she doing this, when will it get better!?

My child screams bloody murder if i walk out of the room! Please tell me this is normal and it is a short phase they go through! I have resorted to going room to room with her in her Bumbo!
Any tricks, any tips??

Sea World

I got to swim with Shamoo! We surfed and everything! It was fun! Not everyone gets this opportunity! Just kidding! Neal is great with her and she loves him! If he is in the room she only looks at him! She thinks everything he does is funny!

I love my Poppy!

Just chilling poolside! Working on my tan!

Forgive me, I have a five month old!

This is her "help my mother is crazy look!"

Ok, for all you new moms out there this story should make you feel better about yourself!

Causey and I went to meet Elizabeth and Lauren Saturday morning for breakfast! I was so proud of myself cause we were out and about and she was doing so well in the restaurant! It was time to go and i was looking around for my keys! Couldn't find them anywhere! So I thought great, I left them in the backseat when i was getting her out of the car, so that meant the car had been sitting unlocked for a good 45mins! Ummm.........no! I had left the car RUNNING!!

Yes, on a side street of Cooper Ave! Not the safest of midtown locations!

So anyway, at least it wasn't stolen! Yep I am starting to worry about myself! Last week it took three tries to finally make it to the OBGYN appointment cause i kept going on the wrong day! I need help!

So I've heard

Once upon a time.....................my uncle Neal didnt always have that smushy stomach to lie on! I like it much better this way!

Name sake

This is where my parents got my name from (kinda creepy huh)! But i like it! Now i just have to grow into it! Tweetie and Poppy went and found it while they were waiting on me!

These are my parents back when they were waiting my big arrival! My dad said that it was fine my mom was having me cause "babies were small, didnt take up much room and didnt need that much stuff" He has since changed his tune!

Cheap Entertainment

My Tweetie makes me eat for her entertainment! She laughs so hard! Something about more fun than dinner and a movie!

Who says i'm stupid?!

Wonder who will be wearing the hat this year! Christmas cards are the reason you have children!
