These are some slides of photos I took this summer. Hopefully, I will get caught up in the next couple of days.

These are of Jack's 2 trips to MIssissippi and getting to meet everyone in the family. He had the best time with his cousins. And of course the men did some dove hunting as well.

Playing Catch up!

I am playing catch up on the blog. As most of you know we lost my brother a short time ago. We were very lucky to have had a great visit from him this summer and will always cherish the memories we made. We took him to the Georgia Aquarium and he loved it. He and Sullivan had a blast and we took him to our friends pool with us and he and Sullivan had the best time in the world together. We will miss him greatly. Also this summer we took the kids to the beach and we took my mom with us. Gramme as we call her. We stayed at Baytowne Wharf and I wish we would have gotten good shot of the balcony we had. It was gorgeous and I loved it. It was the best place to stay with kids and the pool was fantastic!! Sullivan finally decided that he loves the ocean and didn't want to get out. We got some good pictures and had a relaxing time. Enjoy the photos!!

Jack Brooks Stuckey has arrived!!!!

Jack Brooks Stuckey arrived on June 15th at 8:09 pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. 20.5 inches. Sullivan has truly enjoyed becoming a big brother. We were lucky to have both Nana & Gramme to stay for a week to help out. We had Nana and Pop here when Jack was born and Gramme too. Then Nana and Pop had to go home and Gramme stayed with us for a week and during that time Grandy and Kay came to visit. While Jack and I were in the hospital Sullivan had camp at school and the theme was Beach. It was a great distraction for him since he would have been bored at the hospital. Here are some pictures from the passed couple of weeks.

There are some pictures of us playing at the pool with Coco & Bobo, playing at the airport park, playing in our pool, and getting our new Zhu Zhu pet stuck in our hair. We have also had visits from our friends Tori & Bryan Johnston who are expecting in November (we are soo excited for them) and our friend Keith that lives here. We have had many other visitors, but I didn't get pictures with those friends. But we have truly been blessed with great friends, family, and now 2 beautiful boys. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Catch up continues! Date night, the Aquarium, & the deck!

This is from the night after my birthday. It is a picture of me, sullivan, Ward, (to his left) Patrick Brien, (holding Sullivan) Keith Davis, (beside me) Jason Payne, & (to the right of him) Brett Price. We went to dinner at Scallini's in Smyrna which has been known nationwide to help pregnant women deliver their babies. Needless to say it hasn't worked for me either time, but it has fantastic italian food. The waitress asked me how I ended up the only girl, but Patrick's wife was out of town and the other guys lady friend's were unavailable. But it has never bothered me to be the only girl before, so it sure didn't that night. Mainly because it was all about me and I thank them all for that. It was my last big night out before Jack got here.

The next morning my mom and I took Sullivan to the Georgia Aquarium. She had never been and it is a really cool place to go, especially for Sullivan who is in to fish, sharks, sharks, anything oceanic, and more sharks. Here are a few pictures.

On the weekend of May 1st, two my best friends threw Ward and I a couples/family sprinkle. It was called a sprinkle instead of a shower and everyone thought that was really cute. It was mainly for the people we know here since we know it is hard to try to get everyone in one town together to have a celebration. This is a copy of the cute invite that they sent out.

Many of the people that came to the sprinkle were Sullivan's friends and their parents that are good friends with Ward and I. Both Ward's my mom and my mom were able to make it to town to be at the sprinkle. We were all so excited that they both made it, especially Sullivan. Here are a few pictures from that day.

April trip to Mississippi

Well, I am going to do a little bit of catch up. After Easter Sullivan and I went to Mississippi for the week (it was his spring break) and my cousin Deborah was getting married as well that up coming weekend. Ward came and met us in Mississippi that weekend and then we went up to his parents house on that Sunday and spent the night so we could bring the baby bed back from our storage facility. So here are some pictures that we took while home. Enjoy the pictures.

Here is the slide show from Deborah (aka Dedda) & Jason's wedding!

Easter and some other Spring stuff

One night when Ward was working on dinner, Sullivan decided he wanted to cook too. So I got him a piece of tupperware to stir in and he said, " no momma, I want a pot too." After he said that I got him a pot and then he wanted a whisk too, so I got him one. It was so cute, but my least favorite part was when he wanted some water like dad. Boy did that bring on the mess in my kitchen. So this is a picture of them cooking together.

Sullivan's school had an Easter Egg Hunt before their Easter Party and he had the blast. He had so many eggs and was so proud of himself. I got a cute picture of Sullivan and his friend Calder. She is so cute and funny and they have a so much fun at school together.

My mom came to celebrate Easter with us. The Saturday before Easter we were invited to go to our neighbor friend Eli's church for an Egg Hunt. They threw out 7,000 eggs for all the kids and after all the kids went on the hunt and were finishing up there were still some eggs out there to be gotten. It was wild! Our other neighbor friend Henry went on the hunt too, and we all had a blast. Henry's mom Julie helped him on his hunt and Sullivan's grammy helped him on his hunt and during all of this I took photos. Eli had his mom and Grammy to help him on the hunt. I think we all had a great time watching the boys run around and grab eggs. After they were done with the hunt they had a craft there for the kids to do. It was a craft for them to decorate an easter egg magnet. They had a lot fun dancing around to the music that was playing while they went through their buckets. So it was a big time for all. Later that day our family had our portraits taken by my friend Kathy Richardson. She has done Sullivan's protraits since he was 4 months old. She is fantastic and if you are on Facebook with me and you want to check out her work, I am a fan of her page. Sullivan always has so much fun when she does his portraits. And she always gets the very best shots of Bailey, who I might add loves Kathy and will pose for her anywhere.
