"Pizza Pie"

A few days ago Austin and I decided it would be fun to let Bailey help us make a pizza for supper. She was so excited, as you can see in one of the pictures above. She did a great job. She loves to cook. Every time we cook supper now she wants to pull a chair up so she can help.

Biker Babes

Austin and I bought bikes today. I had a sweet picture in my mind of Austin, Bailey, and I leisurely cruising through the neighborhood on our bikes. I didn't think about the pain in my legs and rear that would occur as a result. Hopefully when I get in better shape and maybe get a "big booty cushion" for my bike it will be better. Bailey loved it. She kept saying "We're going fast".

We started going back to the gym Monday. Actually, Austin started a week before me. I was having my wisdom teeth pulled that week so I thought I would wait until the next week. I also joined weight watchers online. We are really trying to cut back and drop a few pounds. Austin has lost five pounds in the last two weeks and I lost three pounds since last Saturday. Hopefully we will continue this trend.

Austin booked a cruise for us in mid May. We have our vacation certificate that we won at the Butter Braid Conference last summer. Maybe we will be looking good by then! We hope you all are doing well.

HENDERSON GRANDKIDS

These are pictures of Bailey and all of her cousins on moms side of the family. A comment on an earlier post inspired me to post pictures of my nieces and nephew. It is hard to get a good picture of all the kids together. A few months ago we were all at mom and dads for Christmas and we got all the kiddos together for a photo session. We really ended up getting some good pictures. Some of you who haven't seen them in years can get a better look at them in these pictures.



This is Rebekah Lynn. She will be 12 in a few weeks. I say she is 11 going on 18. She is very mature for her age. She is a sweetheart, our first baby girl. She sings and plays the guitar, very well I might add. Isn't she beautiful!

This is Luke David. He is 8. He is "Amber's son". If you know my sister Amber at all you know she is the life of the party. He always has something funny to say. Luke is the only boy in the lot of 5 grandkids. He is better known to Bailey as "Spiderman Luke" because of his beloved spiderman costume.

Taylor Dawn is 10. We used to call her "little Tim" until her little sister came along, now we can see more of Amanda in her. Taylor is a little athlete like her parents. She loves basketball, softball, and cheer leading. She's pretty as a picture with her dark complexion and blond hair.

Alexis Grey is 4. She is better known as "Alex" or "Cita". We also call her "little Tim". If you know what her dad looks like you'll see why. Alex is the artist of the family. She has been drawing pictures since I can remember. From an early age you could recognize what she was drawing. She gets that talent from her mom and Poppa Henderson.

Bailey Dawn is 2. She is mommy's little princess. If you don't believe me just ask her. Bailey loves to sing, work puzzles, and buy new shoes. She loves to play with her cousins. She is a big talker and usually has something funny to say. She keeps us on our toes and laughing.

SNOW DAY

Here are some pictures from a few weeks ago in the snow. It snowed really hard for several hours.

Austin & Bailey braved the wind and snow for a couple of minutes.

The wind was blowing so hard and hitting us in the face that we came in really quick. We decided that we could play in the snow the next morning.

Bailey smiling beautifully in the snow. She was all bundled up and looking adorable.

For most of the morning Bailey sat in the chair and watched Austin build a snow man. She wasn't crazy about the snow. She remembered it hitting her in the face the night before and also it got her boots dirty. That's a big no-no in Bailey's eyes. She loves her shoes.

Austin got up with Bailey that morning so I could sleep in. It didn't last long though. He was so excited about taking Bailey out into the snow that he came and woke me up. He sent Bailey in yelling get up mommy. Then he said let's go play in the snow and Bailey said no I don't want to play in the snow. After about an hour and a half she finally warmed up and got out of her chair.

Austin, Bailey and the snowman.

Alesha, Bailey and the snowman!

Merry Christmas

We will be leaving in a few days to be with our family for Christmas. I just wanted to take a few moments to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May God bless you all as you celebrate Jesus this Christmas season. Love Austin, Alesha, and Bailey !!

Fair Fun

We had a great time at the fair in Memphis a few weeks ago. We got to ride a few rides and of coarse pig out on some yummy fair food. Here are a few pictures from our fun day.

Mammie Visits

A few weeks ago my mom got to come for a visit. She stayed four nights. We really enjoyed our time together. We did lots of shopping. We also took a trip to Graceland. Mom has always been a big Elvis fan so we decided it would be fun. We saw the house, graves, cars, and airplanes. We had a good time, but I don't recommend taking a 1 1/2 year old. The time went by too fast. We can't wait to see her again. Maybe next time we'll get to see Poppa too.
