Eliza's first birthday..

Well we had a little family type party at the house for Eliza's first birthday. We cooked out and had cake. Eliza was joined by momma and daddy, Mamaw and Granddaddy, Nana and Papaw, Aunt Eden, and Aunt Christan and Uncle Brock. We had a great time. Pictures to follow.

Pig Pickin 2009 and Eliza's Bday

We went to the annual Pig Pickin in Lee County at Kristen's Aunt Judy's farm. They dig this big hole and pile lots of burning wood in it. Then they wrap up tons of meat and bury it over night. Then the next night we eat, and dance. Pretty awesome.

We sure do love that kid. Next year Daisy Kate will join us.

Well it has been a while. Sorry to my faithful readers, especially Mary Jane. In the meantime we got a new van. A 2008 Dodge Caravan and we love it. It has built in car seats and tons of room. With two babies anymore it is hard to cram everything in. We think we got a good deal and it has low low miles. It drives really nice. And the best part are the built in car seats. So Eliza has been turned around and despite the look on her face in this picture. She loves it. She thinks she is a queen now that she gets to see everything.



And here is a picture of Eliza and Grandaddy doing their thing. Do you think he minds watching her during the week...we are very blessed to have such family. But I do think they like it...at least a little bit..



In other news I am CPR and first aid certified. Part of the orientation process in my new job. Hopefully I am a last line of defense in that matter. But I think I will like my new job even though I will miss my students. So many have emailed or facebook messaged me that they will miss me this year. But hopefully God has led me here for a reason to help others put their lives back together. Cheers.

Amber's baby..

Kristen's friend Amber had been staying with us because her husband Brad had to start a new job out of town and Amber was still just a bit pregnant. (9 months to be exact). So we have grown to think of Amber as part of the Booth family. Well, on Thursday August 13, little Kaelyn Belle Cary arrived and we all were so excited. So here are some pics.

we are all excited about Eliza and Daisy getting to play with her someday soon!

Eliza in her pig tails and jeans before church. Love that smile.

Eliza's 9 month pics are finally posted. Go to http://www.julierobertsphoto.com/blog/ and scroll down to where it says the Booth family. Once again Julie Roberts has outdone herself.

In the meantime I start my job on Aug 17. Very excited.

Eliza's new pj's...

Love that kid. And come january she will have a baby sister..pretty cool...

Finally...

I am employed. I accepted a job offer at Frontier Health in Johnson City doing mental health counseling. They made a pretty good offer and I think I will like being back in the counseling world. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes and support. I start on Aug 17. I am very glad...and excited....:)
