My sweet boy turned 3!!!!

A week ago today my sweet boy turned 3!  I cannot believe how fast time flies.  One day you are bringing your baby home and the next day he is 3 and as smart as a whip.  We spent all day today swimming in the lake and he learned how to tread water for the first time.  I picked up a life jacket for him and from just one day he is doing so well.  At first he kept saying "hold me Mama, hold me Mama" and by the time we were getting out he was saying "let me go Mama, let me go Mama".  My Mama has told me stories of me swimming like a fish from the first day.  She says I just jumped off and swam.  So he definitely takes after me with the water.  I LOVE IT!!!  I love you my sweet boy James Clark!!!!!

My friend Hart Trayer for the Mather Company voted for me as Best of.  So go and vote for Hart's boss Charlie, the Mather Company and me, Photos by JeeJee.  Hey everyone, this is Hart. Last year Hart posted on his blog, http://hartandvanessablog.blogspot.com/2012/05/please-vote-for-mather-company.html requesting y'all to vote for The Mather Company as real estate company of the year, and his boss, Charlie, as real estate agent of the year. Well, the company didn't win, however, Hart's boss did!

Well, the polls are open and voting has begun for the 2012 year. And I would greatly appreciate your votes! This is an annual thing our local newspaper does, The State. If we win, then we get featured in the newspaper. So it's great exposure for us.

The way it works is you'll have to go to the following website. There you'll see a list of 92 categories. In order to submit a vote, you must complete at least 30 of the categories. To make it easier for you, I'm providing a list below with some suggested categories. Of course, you are more than welcome to fill this out with your own choices. But I would greatly appreciate you putting Photos by JeeJee down as the Photographer.  I have highlighted my favorites that I am voting for.
