Butterfly

Today we rode the cart as usual and when we got back to the house, a beautiful butterfly was on the Lantana.

I showed it to Cayden and he started walking over to where it was, about the time he got to it….it flew right toward him. He went to backing up with his eyes on the butterfly! He backed until the back of his shoes hit the concrete parking pad & he hit it with enough speed that it made him sit straight down. The whole time he was saying..uh, uh, uh.

The butterfly  turned quickly & landed on more Lantana. I told him to go & look at it and if he was real still it might land on him, or his finger. He said, no. Then I told him that they were sweet & did not bite….he still said, no!

Too funny!!!

Bentley 6 Months

 

Six months….I can do this!!!

 

Six months

Little Bentley is just growing up so fast. A smiling sweet baby!

He is about to get this crawling business down! One leg just won’t cooperate!

He is sitting up!

He wants to play with whatever toy Cayden has!!!

He loves to eat, even if he is not hungry. If he see’s you eating, he needs some also!!!

Loves to ride the golf cart and be out side.

He loves to smile!

Later side of six months!

He loves to swim in the red neck pool at Papa’s barn. He will even stick his face in the water if you are not careful!!!

He is now pulling up on his own! Crawling around the house, exploring. Loves to see his reflection or someone else’s!

He love’s his Papa are will either crawl to him or lean toward him, so he will pick him up! He also love’s Cole & Josie. And Bart & Casey! He is just a people person at this stage!

Happy boy!

Cayden

We were on the back porch today & Cayden starts saying something that sounded like “shut up”! I was thinking, well I am not saying anything…lol!!! He got louder & louder, saying the same thing over and over again.

I am like, he is saying “shut up”!

I sent Cayla a text & asked if she had heard him say it. She said, yes…. he heard his Mimie telling the dogs to “shut up” their barking!!! LOL!!!

Later, I was thinking and we do have neighbors that have a dog, but I was not paying any attention and I do not remember hearing them. But, it had just rained and the frogs were making quite a bit of noise!!! The louder they got, the louder he got!!!

Priceless!!!

Other things about Cayden & Isaballa at this time.

When he gets tired he will say, couch & bootle (some times I think he is saying ball). And he wants you to sit on the couch beside him!

 

He is not biting as much, nor is Isabella!!!  LOL!!! They had it going on for a while, they would not have lasted at a daycare for a day!!!

He is not in to sharing!!!

He will take me by my finger to the mat and say…sit or play!!!

He will stand in the corner!!!

Bentley sat up today, he has been trying!!!

Here is the little man, doing his thing!!!

HOME SWEET HOME

We arrived back at home and he went to work and I began to unpack.

It was a nice vacation, except for the river being to high. We have been blessed for many years with good, so we will take the bad along with the good!

Back to reality! I have many pictures of flowers and the kids that I took, will post them later, maybe!!!

Vaca Day 11

We drove back to Suwannee, got in the boat with Spud & Denise and off we go. We did stop & fish along the way and Denise & I caught some sharks and catfish!!!

And let me just say, that I am still not feeling great! But we had fun!

Got to Cedar Key and ate, it was good! Then Spud wanted to go find some flip flops. So a shopping we did go! Funny thing, WB & Spud were the only ones who bought any thing!

WB  bought all of the grand's a shirt! All I was hoping was that I did not get to feeling to awful bad!!! I heard Spud tell WB, Do you realize that we are the only one’s who bought any thing? They did no buy one thing? What is up with that?” LOL!!!

We headed back & stopped & fished again…same thing, but it was fun!!! But HOT!!! Then another afternoon cloud ran us in. We stayed & had supper with our dear old friends and enjoyed them so very much!!!

Though many years have passed and our lives have changed, the memories we have made together will always be so very fond!!!

And let me just say this…….if you give Denise & Spud an out house, she will make it look like it belongs in Southern Living, such a talented decorator!!!

We arrived home again at around eleven…..AND WE HAVE TO START GETTING PACKED TO  GO HOME…UGH!!! It was around one when I went to bed, but we have got most of it done!

Vaca Day 10

We rode down the river today, more houses had water closer to them! A cloud came up so we had to get back toward the dock!

WB is still reading and I am washing, and oh yes….taking pictures!!!

He will get that book finished today!

Tonight he wants to go down to Suwannee and eat at a restaurant there and look up some folks we know there!

Ok, whatever, fine with me!!!

As we are going to this place, a really bad storm is there, but passes before we arrive. We drive up to this shack, and I said, “is this it?” Yep, it is…hmmm!!!

I could deal with that, but when I walked inside…oh my word! I really did not think we needed to eat here, but we did.

WB went to the men's room and I waited at the table! They had a fish craved out of wood that was really neat…but it had a ton of dirt on it!!! And really, a little dust is fine, but…yuck!

Well, we ordered and I got some wings. They were not that bad, but….they did make me sick! They were not fried either.

As we left we both said, not to good to each other!

We drove and found our friends and visited with them and shared many laughs and fond memories. We decided to take their fishing boat and go over to Cedar Key and eat lunch tomorrow! We got back around eleven, and I was not feeling to well!

Can I just say PEPTO and I am so glad I brought it with me!!! LOL!!! I was up part of the night!!! LOL!!!  

Vaca Day 9

The boat was launched and I made us some sandwiches and crab dip and such so we could eat a little lunch on the boat.

We drove up the river for about two hours. Lot’s of water, some places we did see water really close to their houses.

What took two hours going against the current, took us 30 minutes going back with the current. We parked back at the dock, read, and then got dressed to go and eat again…same restaurant, but we shared a plate tonight!!!

  Got back to the house, watched some television and he read the book I had read!!!

Just some r&r for us!!!

Vaca Day 8

We are at home today…payroll, WB is working on some equipment and I have a hair appointment! It was nice to sleep in our own bed!

We were able to leave around three to head back to river, arrived around 5:30!

Picked up our books and headed to the river!

He is itching to launch the boat in the morning! But, we have seen some really big stuff floating down the past few days! They are getting fewer!!!

We also went & at some great Seafood tonight!!! The Lighthouse in Old Town, we were stuffed!!!

Day 7

Lots of cleaning and washing, even though the cleaner is coming on Wednesday! I wound that up about noon!

WB is reading a book about Sara Palin!I am reading---Riders of the Suwannee River! Us reading books at the Tikki Hut, priceless!!!

I told him we had turned in to two old boring people!!!

We also decided we would go home this afternoon because of payroll and come back tomorrow afternoon!

I also have an appt!
