The Grandparents gave Lily Grace a playground set for her birthday. It's not a one afternoon job to put together! Marty works on it every chance he can which is hard as busy as we stay. Lily Grace is really excited about it and loves helping her Daddy put it together.

To be such a girly girl at times, she loves tools. She has really enjoyed actually building something - not just pretend.

Cooper wants to help, too!

My two precious babies :)

We have had a sick family here lately. It all started with Marty about two weeks ago getting all that sinus mess. As soon as he got rid of it, Cooper got it.......then LG.........and now me today. The kids are starting to do better because they have been on 3 prescriptions each since Monday. Cooper is still having a lot of wheezing going on and a snotty nose but we go back in about a week for a recheck. He also has an ear infection. He finally stopped throwing up everything he ate yesterday. He had lost 9 ozs from Monday to Wednesday's appointment. Lily Grace still has a lot of coughing but one great thing - her eczema is looking much better. I took her to an allergist on Monday and he gave her some new prescriptions and remedies to try. They seem to be working for now. I hope they continue to work!! We go in about a week to have allergy tests done. We are hoping to figure out what is causing the eczema. Cooper is actually starting to get some in the same places where LG's started. I sure do hope his never gets as bad as hers. Hopefully we will all be well soon!

This is at Cooper's appointment on Wednesday.
LG took this picture and she was so proud.

This was taken last Wednesday, May 19th, on the way to church. Lily Grace sneezed for real and Cooper thought it was hilarious. She kept doing it over and over for him to get a laugh out of him. We were cracking up!!! There are so many other things that are funny to watch for. For example - LG holding a stick and a big leaf and then for some reason her licking her arm with a slurping noise. Don't know where in the world that came from! Anyway, we got a good laugh and we hope you all enjoy it, too!

Marty found a cute, fuzzy caterpillar for LG. It took her a little bit to finally get the courage to let it crawl on her. When it did she had so many different emotions all at once. She did say it tickled her though!

Oh my, if only Grandmama Sally could have known LG and LG could have known her. Grandmama would have be crazy over her. It is so funny though because even though LG never got the chance to meet her, she reminds us so much of her in many different ways. But then again, most people say I remind them of Grandmama.

I miss her everyday since she left this world and I can't wait to see her again one day in Heaven with our Lord. I know she is in a much better place than us and I can't wait to be there with her when it is time. This is a hard time though with it being Mother's day, Homecoming at our church - the church she loved so much, the week Pop passed away, and Grandmama's birthday. So we felt it was a good time to place flowers on her grave. LG didn't understand of course but one day I look forward to telling her all about her great Grandmother and what a wonderful woman she was. I know I am a better person just knowing her for twenty years of my life. Not just her but my Pop as well. What two wonderful, christian people that I will continue to look up to, miss and love forever.
