5 months old and she sits alone now!

Mylee turned 5 months old on the 23rd and her mommy decided on Christmas Day to see if she could sit alone, well as you can see she can. Well at least for a few minutes and then she will fall over or side ways.

Once she gets her balance she does pretty good for a 5 month old baby.

Christmas Fun

Mylee is the Christmas Basket filler this year, she really was a little big compared to when we put her big sister in this basket 3 years ago.

Kaylee being the protective big sister is making sure her daddy is still close by.

No she's not blessing her just keeping her from falling forward. Mylee's just no so sure this was a good idea.

Old But New

This highchair came from a yard sale this fall for just $10 papa carried it to a nice man who refinished it for me, now all I need to do is make a cushion for it and in a couple of months we will be ready for baby Mylee to start on her first baby foods.

Kierstyn is so sweet we have been trying to potty train her this week, but I think we will have to wait a little longer she told me NO POTTY NONNIE!!! so I said OK another little princess wins again in the Hollis home.

This little princess is playing more and more like a big girl, I hear her talking to her babies, she's a good little mom till I found her packing them in the postal box if you look close you can see it in the pic. I asked her what she was doing and she told me mailing her baby.

I got a Nikon D 5000 for an Early Christmas and Anniversary Present


I am so excited about my new camera, but boy do I have a lot to learn. So far the pictures that I have taken have been super great, well just telling you what I think!!! Hopefully I can get a lesson or two soon so I know what the heck I am doing, the camera is really easy to operate but with so many options I really want to learn to use some of them.

Our 29th Wedding Anniversary at Ross Bridge
















On November 28, 2009 Greg and I celebrated 29 years of marriage together. Greg booked us a room at Renaissance at Ross Bridge it was more than just a room it was the junior suite I believe, but was just lovely. Several weeks ago papa was fishing on smith lake and a gentleman asked him for a small favor and papa was happy to help. He tried to pay him, but Greg refused and gave him his business card and he called later and offered him a discount on the hotel where he worked, turns out to be much bigger favor returned to Greg. We did pay some for the room but nothing near the actual cost and shortly after we checked into our room, he sent up a bottle of wine. Nice man helped papa give me a wonderful anniversary. Later in the afternoon he carried me to the movies (now papa just doesn't care for the movies and I love to go) we saw The Blind Side and we both enjoyed it. Then we went to dinner and back to the room. I slept like sleeping beauty I think the wine might have had something to do with that. We got up fairly early and went to IHOP for breakfast that was really good too. I want to carry the grandchildren there on day in the summer so they can enjoy the wonderful pool area, we have stayed several times in Florence at the Marriott on the Shoals but I think Ross Bridge has my vote as the best placed we've stayed in years. We are kind of hotel snobs you can say, once you stay in a Marriott resort everything else is like a motel 6. God has really blessed us over our 29 years together I hope we get 29 more years too, that will only make us 75 yrs old who knows we just might make it too!
