We have been so busy lately chasing Bree around and getting ready to close on our house and 19 acres. We close on Tuesday the 10th of June and then we are going to start a complete remodel on the house. The land is beautiful. It is 19 rolling acres with 3 ponds and is in a nice , quiet area just about 2 miles from my Mom's place. Kerry has already started to mow the land and clean the ponds up. It is very peaceful out there and in the future we hope to build a new home on the top of the big hill in the middle of the land and rent the house we are remodeling. We are very excited about the possibilities of our new home. Bree had a wonderful 1st birthday. The theme was "Pink Poodles in Paris". She had the cutest pink poodle shaped Birthday cake w/ iced bone shaped cookies. She loved the cake. She demolished it into a million lil crumbles. She liked to play in it more than anything. She enjoyed all the attention at her party. Thank you to all of our family and friends for coming to celebrate such a wonderful milestone in our lives. She has two bottom teeth now, so she thinks she can eat anything we are eating. However, mashed potatoes are still her food of choice, and Mema makes them for her just about everyday. They spoil her rotten. She definitely entertains them. She is talking a lil more everyday. She says a new word all the time. She loves animals. Kerry and I took her to the Tyler Zoo not long ago and she loved feeding the birds and the elephants. She also loves to swim and do anything outside. She is the huggiest child I have ever seen. She gives the best, biggest hugs ever. At her 1 year check up she weighed 17 lbs. and 13 oz. and was 29 inches long. She is a petite lil thing. Over the Memorial Day holiday she came down with the chicken pox. This was not a fun time. We were at the Whispering Pines Resort with the Lee and Phillips family and I was so afraid that we had exposed Zander and Finlee to the pox, but as of now, no one else has gotten them. Bree had a ton of bumps all over her body, but the majority were in her hair. She never ran much of a fever and didn't really scratch them either. Most of the pox are gone now, there are just a few scabs left. I guess that is one thing we don't have to worry about again. God has blessed us tremendously and we enjoy every second with our families and friends. May God Bless you always.
