Bald River Falls

We took Wiley for his first trip to the mountains and we made a stop at Bald River Falls! It was so HOT outside so we found a little nook off the road where there was calm waters for Wiley to take a dip. He absolutely LOVES the water and definitely enjoyed splashing around in the creek, which by the way is named Turkey Creek. He was smiling and "talking" away the whole time we were there just having the best time! Before we stopped there we were at the actual falls and people there were kayaking off the rocks and waterfalls into the pool of water below...it was crazy!! That would take some serious guts to do something like that. It was neat getting to watch though and there were lots of on lookers there wading around too. That was my first time visiting Bald River Falls but Justin went some as kid so it was neat for him to go back with his little boy and make some good memories. He was in heaven getting to spend quality time with us because he works so hard at his labor of love during the week! So we had a great weekend and hope to make some more road trips together before summer is up.

Lucky Lady

Yep...that's me! I can't believe I'm Wiley's momma and that I get to stay home with him everyday. I never thought I would ever be a stay at home mom but now that I am I wouldn't have it any other way. My baby boy is such a joy to be around and I love him more than words can explain. I was hoping that once warm weather came around that he and I could start doing more things outside but good grief it's a thousand degrees out there. We do things on the weekends when Justin is off work, like last weekend we went to the Farmers Market in Market Square and the weekend before that we went to pick blackberries...yum! Justin works so hard everyday to provide for his little family and a lot of the time I feel guilty for not contributing financially but I do think being a momma is a very important job even if I don't get paid. I do get to bond more and more all the time with my son and I can tell that he enjoys spending time with me too so to me that's worth it's weight in gold! Next Friday Mr. Wiley is going to be 8 months old...holy cow! He's growing everyday and doing new things all the time. He does the belly crawl right now but has started getting into the crawling stance and rocks back and forth. I think that once he realizes he can support his own weight, although he's loved to just stand since 3 months, that he is going to take off walking!
