Tripp William Mounts

On March 26, 2012 at 7:14 a.m. my brother, Nic and his wife, Michelle, welcomed Tripp William!! He is absolutely PERFECT!! I was diagnosed the day before his arrival with strep throat...boooooo...so I couldn't be there to meet him on day one! But I've made up for it since!! (:
Gus and Bo have already fell madly in love!


 Holding TW for the first time!

 Look at that proud smile!!

 Bodee pouting cause he had to take turns!!

 Big sister Hannah!
 Uncle Barry even stopped by on his way home from work!

 Aunt Lulu and Tripper
Cute!
Gus was acting so silly while we were there!
I think jealousy might have something to do with it...(:

 The Mounts Family of Four!!

Love this...Daddy and Tripp

Kason gets baptized!!

Ephesians 6:4, "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."

I have an amazing brother and sister-in-law! They went to church together as a dating couple, a married couple, and continue on as a family of 5. Not only do they attend church, but it's very evident in their daily lives that God is priority. I've watched them interact as a married couple and the respect and love they have for eachother is remarkable. And as parents they are just as great; their children respect them and are being brought up well. I can't say enough good things!

Kason is one of the kindest 8 year olds I know! He's always willing to share his things with others and gives hugs and kisses (even when he doesn't really want to but I make him!), he's good with Karter and Adi, and takes care of his things at his house.
When we're all together Kason and Bodee are best buds!

Recently, Kason made a decision that makes me even more proud of him...He chose to accept Christ and be baptized!!! Here are some pictures of the big occassion...

Thanks for making this a great birthday for the boys!!!

Gus turns 5!!


Well he turned 5 almost 5 months ago!!! I have majorly neglected my blog and since I posted about Bo's 3rd birthday I just couldn't leave him out!!

Ever since Gus has turned 5, he can do amazing things! (;  He was expecting to start Kindgarten the next day, and it took some major convincing to get him to understand that he would start it would just be a little later!! His legs and arms did get longer though!! Now he's just waiting for his teeth to start falling out! I love this little guy!!

Height - 3 ft. 9 in.
Weight - 36 lbs.
Shoe Size - 12
Clothes - 5T-6
Favorite person - He's definitely a Momma's boy! He loves to tell Bo what to do!
Favorite thing to play - TRAINS!!!!
What he wants to be when he grows up - a train "maductor", fly planes, build garage doors, and run a skidder like Papaw
Loves to have his hair spiked! Has even started going to the "booty" shop to have it cut. When I asked him why he didn't cry like he does with me or Memaw, he said, "because I don't want them to see me cry!" Good enough for me!
