Earlier Easter Special Moments with the little birds.
March 2008, Jackson’s First Easter
April 2009, Abigail’s first Easter
Abigail is sitting in my rocking chair from when I was a baby. My daddy gave it back to me a few years ago after refinishing it.
Easter 2011
Abigail with Nana and Aunt Fran
They love their Easter baskets
We’ve always loved the football Manning boys of the Indianapolis Colts as well as the New York Giants. Peyton or Eli we love to see their teams in the Super Bowl!

Neither of the Manning boys were in the Super Bowl this year, but we had fun anyway!
2010, Abigail. The Colts were in the Super Bowl but lost.
Peek-a-boo Abigail. (This special jersey will sit out for the 2011 games.)
Isabela, February 2012. Same jersey, fourth year of use!
I love this photo, one of my favorite of my three. Such sweet love and innocence.
2012, Trivia fact, the New York Giants win the Super Bowl!
Always a quick place for us to escape and play away from the norm of life.
Season to season we found ourself enjoying these moments at least monthly!
Jackson’s first trip was in the early fall of 2007.
First Grape Crush/Stomp
Bert or Ernie the BIG horse, one of Jackson’s favorites.
Fast forward.

A happy pumpkin!
Not so happy…
A recycled bumble bee
And a recycled dinosaur
Treating in Dandridge
Party with cousins
Happy Fall y’all!
The air is cooling and the leaves are falling. Throw in pumpkins and costumes and fall is a fun celebration, at least for us. We have had great fun watching them get in the pumpkins and struggle with pretending to be something else!
Jackson with Rudy
This cracks me up
October 2007
Turn around fuzzy lion Jackson!
Jackson with our dear Aunt Margaret, “Marnie” as he called her.
Abigail carried these two pumpkins everywhere

Despite the smile, this flower wasn’t too happy with her big petals.
Happier being a bumble bee

Always time for learning…
Cool air shock, fun in the colors

Fall 2010
Traveling with three made me felt like we packed forever. Jackson and Abigail were so excited to have new baby sissy join us. This was the first year our beach trip did not happen in June. We started a new tradition in traveling after our harvest!
All three DID sleep in the tent right there on the ocean. It was so sweet!
The one place Stevie and I have always escaped to is the coast. Annually celebrating the calendar’s official start of summer as well as our June 24th wedding anniversary we have always taken this very important excursion. These three babies haven’t changed our feelings of the sand and surf. The last baby did however change our travel dates as she was born on the first day of summer.
I am taking a trip down memory lane to Jackson’s, Abigail’s, first beach memories before posting Isabela’s new experiences.
Love this photo.
A year of growth and back to the beach!
Look how this baby has grown!
Jackson loved walking across the flat sand! Hard to believe his sister Abigail will join him in a few months, June 2008
Always smiling, Abigail loved the beach! June 2009
I loved these two sitting together in the shade of the canopy.
Happy just being. Tooth showing, days away from crawling.
Happy to add her name to the sand!
This was a very quick visit to the coast but great memories were made.
Lucky to be at our FAVORITE spot.
Happy on his digger.
Treasure this life.
The best place to be on a hot summer harvest day is relaxing in a stroller!
At nine weeks old, this is Isabela’s first harvest. She enjoyed the fast pace of us picking.
Always present, Nana and Papaw!
Jaydie and Elijah stopped by for a visit.
Abigail helping with buckets.
How excited he gets to almost hold her.
Love these little birds!
Sweet smile, blue Gatorade lips.
Finished the harvest of 2011, and we delivered our grapes on a rainy Sunday morning.
