~We love to watch our 'HUM' Birds~








'Lyza Jane is our official 'HUM' Bird alerter!!
(For those of you that don't know what a 'HUM' bird is well... its this tiny bird that is normally called a 'HUMMINGBIRD' but our sweet daughter has renamed the bird species to her liking
which is now the~ 'HUM' Bird!!!) hee hee ;-)
It may have something to do with the fact that the word is too long and has too many syllables but nevertheless...
we have 'HUM' Birds in our back yard!
Each morning at breakfast we like to watch them drink the sugar water off the back deck feeder mommy supplys for the 'HUM' Birds!
We also like to watch them at lunch time and at dinner time too!!
We sit at the table and watch them fly in and out.
'Lyza Jane likes to yell, 'HUM' Bird first when she sees one to alert everyone else at the table to turn around and look at the feeder!!
If you don't look, she will keep yelling 'Hum' Bird or call your name to make sure you see the 'Hum' Bird~
"' 'Hum' Bird Hayden...'Hum' Bird MOMMA...'HUM' Bird DADDA!!!"

Its really cute to hear her say 'Hum' Bird!!

NEW UPDATED 'HUM' BIRD PICS....
From August 19th
**I'm really proud of these shots, I sat right infront of the
feeder today and they just flew all around me! One even stopped and just hovered right beside me just staring at me for a minute like we were making friends & having a conversation with each other...they're really sweet creatures these tiny birds!

~A Picnic at Rotary Park~

Our Wendy's Picnic
Elyza Trying to eat her nuggets so she can go play!!
Hayden kept looking at the tree infront of us...saying he saw a squirrels butt in the tree hole! (I think he just likes saying 'butt'!) ha ha
This would have a been a rare cute pic of them together if Hayden didnt ahve his mouth full of chicken nuggets!!
'Lyza Jane Swingin on some of the jungle gym
I thought this was a cute shot from behind her
Climbing the jungle gym
Playing 'Smack the Rolley things"!

Hayden pushing his lil' sister on the swings...awlll how sweet!

Hayden sliding down the big twirly slide

Climbing up the chain rope
He swings all by himself and it makes me kinda sad he is getting soo big!
Driving his race car I imagine...
My beautiful blonde haired/ blue-eyed baby boy!!


Soo it was a pretty day with hardly any HUMIDITY!
So I decided it was a PARK DAY!!
We got some of our FAVORITE FAST FOOD from the local WENDY'S~
(which we should have some stock in by now) hee
AND then we headed to the park up the road, 'Rotary Park'!
We had a pretty good time and we left when it started getting HOTT!!
Whew, but I think the pics say it all and how much fun we had this day
having our Picnic and playing at the PARK!!
See you soon with more adventures~

~Diving for Treasure~









Hayden has been practicing his beginning underwater swimming
and holding his breath skills.
I threw some pennies in the pool and gave him a 'treasure' collecting net
and told him to collect all the treasure while swimming underwater.
He loves this exercise and he is getting good at holding his breath too!
Maybe he will be a lifeguard like his mom one day!!!
OR the next Jacque CUSTO!!!

Wish Summer could last forever~

~Police CPD Meet & Greet Day~


Learning how to work the Police Sirens!

A future Crime Fighter? maybe...


Riding the Police Horse named, "H.C."!


Petting "H.C." ~ pretty police horse!


Inside the SWAT Van pressing the SIRENS!!!

THE SWAT VAN!!

Hey there BEAVER Buddy!


RIDING THE POLICE MOTORCYCLE~


He's COOL!!!

The Sheriffs Dept participated as well~

On Saturday I had the chance to have some time alone with Hayden while My-Hope (Grandma) watched baby-girl 'Lyza.
I took Hayden to the Clarksville Police Depts community
little meet and greet event at Kmart.
Hayden had to press every siren he possibly could in
EVERY SINGLE SQUAD CAR AVAILABLE!!! hee
Nah, but he did press them a few times the ones he sat in!!
That was the highlight I think.
He got to sit on the POLICE HORSE and that was super cool
as well! He also got to see the police dog in the back of the police car
that was cooling down in the air conditioning since it was sooo HOT!!
It was a fun lil' morning for us both.
After that we went to the Lake-Beach at Cheatham Dam but
my camera wasnt working go figure so I didnt get any COOL
pics of us having fun at the Lake-BEACH!!!!
Maybe next time I will FINALLY get pics!
ha ha

Soo its the end of summer since public school is starting this week.
Al the pools and swimming stuff is on sale so we bought this new pool
yesterday and are enjoying the last hot days of August left!
Of course we don't fill the pool up all the way since
'Lyza jane is still little but its alot bigger with more room to swim!
Daddy even came home from work this day and hopped
