I know I have been away for a while! I do plan on having some wonderful news to share very soon regarding a business! I am so excited! I am looking forward to making this announcement. Some of you may know but some may not. It involves pumpkins, kids & a camera! So happy! And hopefully some sunshine! Well that is it for now. I need to also add more pics of that precious nephew! Especially since he is about to be a big brother in 3 weeks. That is right! I am going to be an aunt for the second time come November 2nd! I am so blessed! Please keep a friend of mine by the name of Chad Lambert in your prayers. He is getting ready to leave for Afghanistan. As you may remember Chad was in Iraq for 7 months last year and I posted a few pics of him. I appreciate it very much. I am going to start taking more pics and deleting them instead of crying and feeling guilty for deleting them and go broke putting them on a cd!
Love,
Erin

Just pictures...since I have been slacking!

DEASON SAYS HAPPY FLAG DAY AND PLEASE WEAR YOUR RED, WHIT & BLUE!!! HE SURE IS! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Deason's First Swim

Every year for Mother's Day we always go to my Puggie's sister's house and have a great meal. This year was no different. My Mama brought me over there and my Aunt Tootie made sure I had my swimsuit. I absolutely love my swimsuit and the water.

Pops put me in my raft for the first time in a big pool! I love the water! It was so much fun! Aunt Tootie took a bunch of pictures as always and has lots to share so please enjoy!

Here is me and my Mommy on Mother's Day! We had a party at my Great Aunt Donna's house! It was so nice as always and she has a BIG pool!

I sometimes don't pay attention and totally turn my head and this happens to be one of those pictures I did that in so enjoy my side view!

That is my swimming adventure at Aunt Donna's!

Until next time...keep waving your red, white & blue!

Much Love,

Working in the yard...

Deason likes to help a little out in the yard and when I went out there I found him checking this out...the cool thing about it is that he looks so cute checking those plants out. He didn't think that was enough.

He thought the grass needed mowing so he enlisted the help of his T-Daddy to help him...

Then as if that wasn't enough he went to check the plant on the other side of the yard...

He then asked for a break because all that is hard work so he got to play on the swing...

He wanted to go work in the front yard but only got to see the foliage...

This little man LOVES the yard...you see that beautiful smile on his face. All through this hard work. Needless to say we were very proud of him and he did a wonderful job! It is hard to believe that my nephew is 10 MONTHS OLD! He is almost a year old! He is walking and said his first words. It is very exciting for all of us to see this. It is bittersweet because we know our little man is growing up so fast.

Until next time...keep waving your red, white & blue,

Much love,

Chocolate Easter Bunny Adventure

Well hello my friends....my Puggie (my grandmother) decided to let me eat my chocolate bunny that the Easter Bunny put in my basket. It started out so innocently...

I wasn't really sure if I wanted to adventure into the chocolate just yet but rest assured I did and it was so good. Just look at all these pictures that my Aunt Tootie took of me! My Aunt Tootie, Puggie, Maw Maw & T-Daddy really enjoyed watching me eat that Chocolate Bunny! It was so much fun! But it is going to be a while before I venture into something so sweet again! Just look at the pictures from Aunt Tootie....Aunt Tootie said to enjoy them and she loves her friends for looking!

Helloo...out there!

I have been away! I guess you could say I was relishing the victory of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl! Wow! So much has happened since I last wrote. Deason is 10 months old now and WALKING...yes I said walking! I am so excited! We also have other news to share as well...he will be having either a brother or sister and we will find out in June which he will be having. Yes my sister is pregnant with baby #2! Very excited about it now that the initial shock is over. So did I hear someone say they wanted to see pictures...well here you have it! For your viewing pleasure I present to you...Deason Hewitt Parker! Enjoy!

We went to the Bidenharn Gardens to take pictures and that is where we took the Easter pictures. The one with the hood is in his wagon. He loves his Radio Flyer! The one with the green egg (Hey Jake!) was taken on Easter Sunday! Hope you enjoy! I have other fun pictures coming...just think...chocolate bunny with a 10 month old!

Until next time...keep waving your red, white and blue!

Much love,

Erin

Where in the World?

I am so sorry! Looks like I am still celebrating the Steelers victory in the Super Bowl! I have been so busy with life lately that I am hardly ever at home! One hint...it involves a round orange ball...Basketball! I love it! I hope to be back soon with pictures of the nephew and life! Until then wave that AMERICAN flag!

Much Love,
Erin

Go Steelers!

Deason Hewitt was at the house on Super Bowl Sunday and if you think his Pops let him in the house without proper attire....you are WRONG! Here he is with his Steelers outfit on that looked absolutely adorable!!! Enjoy!

For an added bonus....here are my co-workers (who are amazing...sorry folks I have the best co-workers) and my boss is in the middle...the best boss EVER!!!

Hope to have longer post next time!

Until next time...keep waving your red, white & blue!
Much Love,

It's been nearly a month

since I have posted! I don't have any pictures because I am not at my home computer. If I was I still wouldn't have pictures. I forgot to load them! Goofy me. I am going to get more pics soon and they will be great. Just wanted to give everyone a little update and let everyone know that it was a great Christmas around the Stephens family. I can't believe it is already 2009 and for that matter almost February! Do you know who your Valentine is? I sure do! My little nephew. I am one of those lucky single people and I love it. With cold weather it also brings the beginning of crawfish season and trust me...I have had my share of crawfish already and can't wait for more! They were great. I hope that you have a great weekend and I understand I need to get my camera out more often and I will!

Until next time...keep waving your red, white, and blue!
Much Love,
Erin
