Happy Birthday Melissa!

Happy Birthday Melissa! I remember your birth just like it was yesterday.... the years have flown. I didn't have a good camera back then, so I don't have many pictures. The picture below is you through the window of the nursery at the hospital...that is a nurse holding you up.

Sleeping sweetly....

The picure below was taken on January 4th - your first snowman! Now keep in mind that this is in Shreveport and snow is rare....

Below is a picture of you and Doug. I have been thinking alot of him since his birthday was on the 24th. I still miss him....

And just for fun - a picture of you and Mim (with her beehive hairdo)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY! Love, Mom

Christmas Lights and Tanyard Creek Trail

Phillip and I met up with the Pitts Crew on Saturday night to view the Christmas lights and parade on the Fayetteville square. It was wild....lots of people....and 3 excited little boys....but its always fun with the Pitts crew!

After the parade, the boys went back to the lakehouse with us to spend the night and Melissa and Kerry had a night on the town. Sunday we took the boys hiking on the Tanyard Creek Trail in Bella Vista. The boys loved it - lots of climbing and water.

The last basketball game for 2009

Wasn't it great that the tire on Kerry's car went flat at the parking lot of the gym while Phillip and Jayden were around? Jayden has helped Pop change flat tires before and he is a pro!



This was the last basketball game for this year. We have so enjoyed watching the boys play. Below are a few pictures I captured (its hard to get good photos because they are moving so fast). Phillip videoed the game.

Kyler wasn't feeling good, so he was a little slower than he normally is....

The huddle with Coach Pitts:

I cut off his head in the photo...but this is JAYDEN with his feet 2 feet off the ground!

Half time huddle with Jayden's coach... she is "a professional" according to Jayden.
