Anna Claire

I haven't uploaded pictures from my camera in a few weeks, so cell phone pictures will have to do for now. I did get a new cell phone Saturday, which I am super excited about!! It takes much better pictures that my old cell phone. I must thank my husband for allowing me to get a new phone when it was actually his turn to get a new phone. He can be so sweet when he wants to be!!

Daddy was NOT HAPPY when I sent him this picture with "Future Playmate" on it.

Excuse Miss Chipmunk cheeks. She had crammed her mouth full of "FRY," as she would say. That would be fries, in grown up talk.

I Fall Down Again!!

That's right, Kerry fell down again, but this time he tripped over the baby gate. As many of you know we have a baby gate at the bottom of the steps to keep Anna Claire from going up them because she can fly up the steps when given the opportunity and of course it's a safety precaution. We never take the gate down, ever!! When we go upstairs we step over the gate to come and go. If we have company to stay upstairs, as rude as it may sound, they too have to step over the gate to come and go bc I have that gate exactly where I want it. I have always felt that I have it positioned just perfectly and Monday night Kerry proved me right. He had gone up stairs for something and when he came down I'm not sure what happened, but some how he hung his foot in the back side of the gate (the side facing him and the stairs) as he was trying to step over it. He got all tangled up and ended up falling on the gate and then in to the floor. I was in bed when this happened, but I heard it all take place. I, being the caring wife that I am, got up to go check on him and of course I was already laughing bc as I've said before it's always funny until someone gets hurt and then it's hilarious. Also, did I mention it was 12:00am on a work night when this happened? This shows how caring I really am. Anyway, I get to the living room and I see something similar to this.

Now this is the picture from a few weeks ago, but this was the same position Kerry was in from the new fall. I didn't get pictures bc it was late and dark. Yes, he hurt his toes again. By this time I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard at him. I did manage to ask if he was ok and to check on my baby gate. Kerry was a little banged up. His back was sore, so I put some icy hot on him before he came to bed, and he had a scuff on his hip from landing on the baby gate. The baby gate was unharmed and Kerry seemed to be better yesterday afternoon.

You will all be surprised to know that the baby gate that Kerry landed on has to be one of the cheapest baby gates available. We have a more expensive baby gate upstairs and I have no doubt that if Kerry would have fallen on the more expensive baby gate that it would have fell with him.

So, there you go......More expensive is not always better. Here's the baby gate that Kerry fell on.

If you ever need a sturdy baby gate, these are the way to go. 2 gates for $24.99 that will with hold over 200 pounds of pure man and never budge!! Now that's a bargain!!

Oh and didn't I mention a few weeks ago that Kerry falls down all the time. ; )

Anna Claire's 1st Titans Game

Anna Claire attended her 1st Tennessee Titans game Friday night. She did good for a 15 month old, but was wore out by half time, so we came home. She LOVED the introductions bc it was loud and for Anna Claire, the louder the better. Here are some pictures from her 1st Titans experience outside the womb. Not to worry, I sewed a polka dot ribbon on the back of her hat to add a girly touch to it!!
You can kinda see it in this picture.

People were very nice and offered to take pictures of the 3 of us when they saw I was taking pictures of Kerry and Anna Claire. Pictures of the 3 of us do not happen very often.
Don't freak out, Kerry's not pregnant!! : ) It's just the way the jersey was hanging and I think the wind caught it.



Pictures of Mommy and Anna Claire don't happen very often either, so enjoy this
one.

That's right!! We got 2 Family pictures taken while we were there!! Woo Hoo!!

Time to go home!!!
Is that not the cutest picture ever!!
After I took the picture some lady walked up and asked if she could take a picture of them, that would be with her camera. I told her to go ahead bc I could tell by her accent that she was not from the US. She agreed that it was the cutest thing she had ever seen!!

I Fall Down!!!

It's always funny until someone gets hurt, then it's hilarious!! Kerry has a habit of falling down, stumping his toes, etc.... Saturday night Kerry was coming out of the Pantry, yes he had been in the Pantry with the door closed, and he stumped his toe on the bench in the Kitchen. I, of course, think it is hilarious and see the camera on the table so I took the opportunity to take some pictures of his toe accident. I laughed until I cried!!! I'm laughing now just thinking about it, actually I'm cracking up all over again!! You thought by the title that this was about Anna Claire, didn't you!!

I'm sure Kerry will appreciate this post (sense the sarcasm), but he knows I love him!!

He stumps, he falls to the ground, and I CRACK UP!!


See the pain in on his face!! I'm still CRACKING UP!!


This was about the time he looked at me and said, "Da*% Paparazzi."



No worries, he got up and continued on, as I continued to laugh at him, sorry!!
