First broken bone!

Connor fell off the bed the night before womens conference. He has fallen before so I thought he would be fine. Well at church the next day I noticed he would not put any weight on his leg. monday we took him to the doctor , then the xray, then the bone specialist. turns out he fractured his tibula near the ankle. They put a soft cast on him. He is all better now but as you can see I could not keep him down while he had it on.

Still moving around like nothing happened!!

Tyler is Seven!!

Tyler's birthday was actually on the 9th but it has been a busy couple of weeks. first I took him on a morning date to dunkin donuts. Then Thomas took the kids to a place called the fun depot. They had alot of fun its is kinda like a Frankies fun park. Then we had the party at the park



He had a few friends come and alot of cousins.

He wanted a Transformer cake again(that is two years in a row)!!

After the friend party both side of the family Hood and Caldwell crammed into our apartment for food and cake. Sorry I did not get pictures of this. I think it turned out to be a good birthday for him all together.

Connor is 1 year old!!!!

My baby turned one on the 7th. We had a small party for him. Then Saturday we had a big party with all the family and friends.


My neibor is taking 1 year old pictures for us. Here is a little sample of her work.

The cake monster!!!

I think he enjoyed his birthday. Thank you to all the family and friends that were able to come.

Hood Family Vacation 2010

We went on a vacation this past summer with the Hoods. This is the first time in a few years that all the siblings have been together. We went rafting, tubing, watched movies and just had alot of fun together.


The three youngest boys Daniel, Caleb and Connor.

All the grand kids. This picture took some bribery(cupcakes to be exact).

summer has come and gone...

We have been so busy this summer. We packed up and moved (again!) to Asheville, NC. Thomas is working at the Biltmore house and he loves it. We certainly are enjoying the cooler weather and we are already planning hiking trips and campouts for the fall. Tyler starts first grade next week. Ainslee is going to be home with me again so we will be doing pre k stuff together everyday. And Connor is crawling and getting into everything. This will be a busy year but are already excited for being where we are. I will have to post some pictures when everything is settled.

connor update.

(sorry no pictures I lost my camera)
So Connor has had two ear infections in the past month or so. This means no sleep for him or me. He has also gained weight he is now 15 lbs and 10 oz. I think he is our biggest child so far and that is funny because everyone thinks he is little. He is scooting all over the house and eats anything he can get his hands on. I am really enjoying this stage since I missed it with Ainslee.

Thomas has gotten a new job in Atlanta and has interviewed for a job at the Biltmore house. We are looking into where we want to move. Life is crazy right now so I will probably not be on here very often.

Our Family Walks

We have been going on alot more walks here because we actually have sidewalks in our neiborhood. Here are a few pictures of some of them.

Hiking in the woods was fun.

It is not very often that I have a picture of myself that is good so here is one.
