We had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend! We went to Tupelo to visit family, celebrate Christian's grandmother's 89th birthday and celebrate the 4th! We also stopped to visit my grandfather and parents in Oxford!! Anna Clayton had the best time with her 11 older cousins! Wells loved watching the fireworks in his pajamas ( way past his bedtime)!!! He was just wishing he could keep up with all the older boys!!! They are all precious and beautiful children!! We all had a blast and enjoyed being in Mississippi for a couple of days!

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!!!!

Silly, silly baby boy

2009-03-04T18:54:00.000-08:00

I can't believe he is already 10 months old!!!!

Who's cold? Not ME!!!!!!

2009-01-17T12:40:00.000-08:00

Anna Clayton was having a blast at the park and we were all freezing!

Wells was so bored at the park!!! I couldn't even get him to give me a little smile. Poor little thing was so sweet!

YUCK!!!!!

2009-01-17T12:29:00.000-08:00

This was his first experience with the biter biscuits!!!! I hated it - he loved it!!!!!

Simple snapshots - SO EASY!!!!!!!!!

Why is taking a Christmas card photo so hard??

2008-12-17T08:23:00.000-08:00

Oh My is all that I can say about my attempt to take a Christmas card picture. For the past couple of days, I have been dressing the kids up in different outfits and making them sit in the yard, at the lake and in front of the tree and it has been a WILD experience. Anna Clayton is scared to get dirty and has forgotten how to smile normally and Wells would rather be eating the leaves, taking the ornaments off the tree or slobbering everywhere!!!! As you can tell from the pictures, one child is MUCH easier to photograph than two!!!!!! I tip my hat to all the photographers in the world!!!!! Just a warning also- our card may not be that great this year!!!!! Ha, Ha!!!

Silly Baby Boy!!!!!

2008-12-03T17:50:00.000-08:00

It is hard to believe that Wells is 7 months old! He is so funny and sweet!! Everyone told me that little boys were SUPER SWEET- they were right! Precious little guy is weighing in at 21 lbs. these days- so I guess I need to change his name to Big Guy!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!

Seven Years!!!

2008-11-21T10:53:00.000-08:00

It is hard to believe that seven years have already gone by. Gosh, we sure do look young!! Ha, Ha!!!! I am so lucky to have such a great family!!!!

Trick or Treat!!!

2008-11-01T06:22:00.000-07:00

Anna Clayton's favorite kid's meal toy is from Zaxby's. They give you these little waxy sticks and then directions on how to make fun stuff. She loves them. Sweet Wells was such a good sport!!!!! I have a feeling this is just the beginning for the little fellow!!!

Our Big Girl

2008-09-21T18:04:00.000-07:00

Anna Clayton started 3 year Preschool a couple of weeks ago and she loves it. She has also started ballet. The first couple of weeks were terrible but finally she decided that it was fun. It is the funniest thing I have seen! You can imagine about fourteen 3 year olds dancing around and singing of course! Anna Clayton likes to check out the fashion also! On the first day she was checking out Caroline's leotard because it had a tutu on it and hers didn't. Needless to say, we have not worn that leotard again!!! Hopefully I will have some video to post soon!!!

5 months old!

2008-09-21T17:50:00.000-07:00

It is hard to believe that Wells will be 5 months old this week! He is so funny and sweet! We are having the best time with the kids. They are so cute together.

Fun at the Beach

2008-08-16T13:35:00.000-07:00

Well things have changed a little since the Hewlett beach trip last year. Over the last year we added two more children to gang! Although the condo was a little more crowded and there was a good amount of crying, we had a great time! It was so wonderful to see Matt and Amber since they live in Iowa now. Anna Clayton loved having Ava to play with and Amber even convinced Anna Clayton to TOUCH THE SAND! That was a HUGE accomplishment! By the end of the trip she was even in the ocean. I guess I should explain a little - Anna Clayton HATES to be dirty!!!! So obviously the beach has not been her favorite place. Wells on the other hand, seems to love it. WE would put his swing under the umbrella at the beach and he would sleep for three hours and then eat and go back to sleep!!! He was a TROUPER!!!! Sweet little buddy. As you will see in the pictures, he has lost all his hair and is huge!!! He weighs over 17 pounds now! It is hard to believe that Summer is over and school has started. I hope everyone had a GREAT Summer!!

July 2008

2008-07-23T18:38:00.001-07:00

More fun pics! As you can probably tell, I don't have a huge amount of time on my hands these days so my blog is really suffering and it gets overloaded with new pics all at one time! Anyway, it is fun to see how much Wells has grown from June to July! Today is his 3 month birthday! Happy Birthday little Buddy!!!! We just got back from the beach and we had so much fun. Christian's grandmother was there so she got to see her 13th great grandchild for the first time and Wells got to experience the beach for the first time. It was nice!

June 2008

2008-07-23T14:43:00.000-07:00

WE have been so busy this month!! Christian started working on Anna Clayton's swingset for her birthday and that took forever! He did a great job - now if it would just cool off so we could go out and play! Then Anna Clayton started swimming lessons and that kept us super busy. She loved it and I thought she would hate it!!! Shows how much I know!! Ha... On June 15th Anna Clayton turned 3 and we had a few friends over to celebrate! I love seeing all the kids together as they grow up!! We have also been going to the waterpark in our neighborhood just about every Saturday and Sunday. Anna Clayton loves it and it guarantees you a good nap! Other than all that, we have been enjoying Wells and watching him grow so fast and so BIG!!!! He is the sweetest little thing!!!!!

Wells Christian Dameron has arrived!!!

2008-06-06T06:54:00.001-07:00

I know it has been a while since I posted but we have been a little busy and a lot sleepy lately!!! On April 23 we welcomed our new family member into the world! After a few complications, we are all home and doing great! Wells is getting so big and fat. Anna Clayton is the perfect big sister ( we couldn't ask for her to be sweeter) and Christian and I are slowly but surely getting our life back to normal or our new normal I guess! Ha,Ha! It is hard to believe that it has already been 6 weeks! Our family has been so blessed!!!

Easter

Outside Fun!!!!

Breakfast with the Princess!

2008-04-02T03:11:00.000-07:00

As I have said before, Anna Clayton loves to dress up in her princess dresses! A couple of weeks ago she spotted one before she even got out of bed and it was a must that we wear it for breakfast and most of the morning! Needless to say, I was totally underdressed for my date with the princess!!!

Big Changes!!!!

2008-03-31T16:15:00.000-07:00

I know it has been a long time since I updated but we have been so busy the last couple of months! First of all, we have moved! Just before Christian and I got married ( 6 1/2 years ago) we bought our first house and we finally decided that it was time for something a little bigger. It was sad but of course exciting to make the change.

Old House

New House

Now that we are in the new house, we have been working on the baby's room which meant Anna Clayton had to give up her crib. She is now successfully sleeping in her new BIG GIRL BED. she loves it and thank goodness for that! I was terrified for this change to happen. She has always been a great sleeper and I have heard horror stories from other parents! I guess we were lucky!!!

And then on top of moving and getting her big bed, we are also potty training!!!! Oh my gosh- I have never been back and forth to the bathroom so many times in my life. She wants to go every five minutes with the hope that eventually she will actually go to the potty so she can have a "little treat"! It is really so much fun to watch her get so excited and it is so sad to see how she is really a Big Girl now!!! Wow, time passes by so fast!!!!

Speaking of time passing by, it is hard to believe that in 3 weeks we will have another little baby!!!

Father Daughter Valentine Dance

2008-03-27T14:27:00.000-07:00

The weekend before Valentine's Day, Christian and Anna Clayton went to the Father Daughter Dance. She was so excited- Mimi made her dress and she got to wear big girl dressy shoes and all that fun stuff. Of course the day of the dance was a completely different story- she didn't want to get dressed and then she would not let me take pictures without crying! So these are the best pictures I got.

Our Little Princess!!

2008-01-22T12:33:00.000-08:00

Anna Clayton loves playing dress up in her fairy princess dresses that Mimi gave her for Christmas. Here are a few pictures! I can't believe how old she looks in these pictures! They definitely grow up too fast!!!!!

Christmas!!

2008-01-17T11:29:00.001-08:00

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! We did! We were in MS for a week so we had a great visit in Starkville, got to go to Tupelo and see all Christian's family and the guys got to hunt for 3 days! It was great! Here are few pics from all the different Christmas get togethers!

Christmas Day in Tupelo! It was Freezing cold but she had to be outside with all her older cousins. She stole Ally's new tricycle and took it for a ride and then she thought she would try on Julia Hope's helmet! She loved watching all the older kids!

Santa brought Anna Clayton everything she would ever need for Itty Bitty Baby or baby Kate as we call her! This is baby Kate in her new bouncy seat! We need another bedroom just for baby Kate! Ha!

Baby Kate and Ava hanging out! Anna Clayton wore herself out trying to keep up with Amber taking care of Ava. It was so funny!

Anna Clayton and her cousins Bonner and Browning Hewlett

Newest Hewlett!!!

2008-01-17T11:16:00.000-08:00

It has been a while since I posted anything- i apoplogize! We have had a few computer issues! Anyway, I want to introduce the newest member of the Hewlett Family. Her name is Ava Lucille and she was born Nov. 7! She is too cute and so sweet! Over Christmas we are all in Starkville so we spent lots of time with her! Anna Clayton loved having her new cousin around! That made me feel better about our new addition on the way!

New York City!!!!

2007-11-27T15:28:00.000-08:00

Wow, New York is awesome! In October I went on a girls trip to New York with my Mom, Amy and her mom. It was GREAT! We had the best time. Everything is so amazing and exciting to see. I have never in my life seen so many people in such a small area! I loved it! I am already wanting to go back. This time we got all the site seeing taken care of so next time- I am ready to SHOP!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

2007-11-06T06:58:00.000-08:00

We had the best time with Anna Clayton on Halloween! She loved being Minnie Mouse and she really loved getting candy! She was such a big girl! The little boy in the pictures is her friend Ford Scott.

Going to the Pumpkin Patch

2007-10-30T17:13:00.000-07:00

Anna Clayton and I made our way to the pumpkin patch again this year. We had the best time. It is so funny how their likes and dislikes change. Last year, she would hardly get down much less sit in the grass or by the hay. This year she was the boss of the photo shoot. She decided where we sat and she arranged the pumpkins the way she wanted! I laughed so hard!!!! She is my little Pumpkin!

2007-10-30T12:40:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how fast the last 2 years have gone by! I thought it would be nice to see how much our lives have changed - really just Anna Clayton's life! It is amazing how they go from little babies to little ladies in a blink of your eye! Enjoy!

Growing up!
