MY PRECIOUS GREAT NEPHEW - HE IS A RIOT!!!!

Hi Everyone - My Nephew (Trae) sent me this picture of his "always into something" son and it was so cute and soooooooo funny - I just had to share it with you! Dixon is almost 3 and I call him the bowling ball - because he is everywhere in a flash! He is adorable and this is why:




While his mommy and daddy were busy folding the laundry - he decided to check out the dryer! He is just too cute for color TV! Enjoy!

See you soon!

My New Grand-baby Came For a Visit!

SURPRISE! It is not a human! LOL. This is Avery! Isn't she adorable???? I just love her and wanted to share.



See you soon!
