Introducing.....

Lexi Elizabeth Driskill...... My cousin Lesli had her baby. This makes great grandchild #3 for Grammy this summer. She weighs 8lbs 3ozs and is 18 inches long. Lesli and Lexi are doing well. Lexi has some bruising on her face but it doesn't take away from how cute she is. We went up to the hospital this afternoon to visit them. She got here very quickly this morning. Lesli didn't even get an epidural. I have new found respect for her that is for sure. YIKES!!! Baby Lexi

John Mayer and Colbie Callait

Last night we went to one of the best concerts I have ever attended. I discovered Colbie Callait last summer and introduced her to Niki. Funny because Niki is always the one bringing new music to me. We took Bella and and sat out on the lawn. Colbie and John actually sang a couple of songs together which I loved. Bella did great except for the electric guitar. She is not a fan. Terry had to take her out during that part but other than that she was very content. She even took a little nap.

Happy Birthday Dad!

On Wednesday we went to eat for Dad's birthday. We had a great time hanging out by the water.The birthday boy and Courtney

Bella had her shots and weigh in on July 28. The whole shot experience was horrible and and I'm pretty sure all 3 of us never want to do that again. We started with the stats and she weighs a whopping 9lbs 3ozs (6th%) and is 23 1/4 in long (60th%). We have a long and skinny girl. Then we had the horrible part. Terry took over when the nurse came in the with shots. He laid her down on the table and the nurse came over with all the supplies. She started with the oral vaccine. Bella was loving that one, apparently it tastes like sugar water. So they finish with that and the nurse tells Terry to hold her arms. (I am sitting behind Terry, not watching.) He held her arms and she starts smiling at him when all of the sudden the nurse comes in and sticks her. I think it literally took her breath away and then she screamed bloody murder. Luckily the nurse was fast but I LOST it. Terry picked her up off the table and held her for about 2 seconds before I took her from him. I had to love on her. She did calm down pretty quickly. Actually I think she may have quit crying before I did. Terry told me when he got home that he kept replaying that in his head all day. I felt really bad for him that he had to hold her down. But I'm not doing it anytime soon!! Anyway she slept all day and all night. I kept her full of Tylenol so she wouldn't be to sore. She was pretty fussy for a few days but all in all handled it all pretty well. Now we will do it all over again in 2 more months. Not looking forward to that at all. I got some really sweet pictures of her when we got home.

Happy Birthday Tim and Alyssa!!

Tim and Alyssa have birthdays within a couple of days of each other so we celebrated them together with a good meal at Top Water Grill, our new favorite place to eat. Mema and Papa were in town so they were able to join us for the celebration.Tim and Alyssa, the birthday couple!

Photo Shoot

A couple of weeks ago I took some pictures of the grandkiddos and Alyssa with Ryan and Courtney. It was the first time I have tried to take a lot of pictures of other people and not just Bella. We got some great shots. Have I mentioned how much I L-O-V-E my camera.
