The Hagewood Family

Pictures from the summer

2008-09-07T21:03:00.000-07:00

Well, summer is over and a new year of school has begun! We have taken it easy, somewhat, this summer but have posted some pictures of various events such as 4th of July cookout at the Hagewood's (with visits from the Hagey's and a Wiseman), Kathryn's first ride on Thomas the Tank Engine (again with Hagey's and BOY was it hot that day), visit to the Roswell Hagewood's and some fun pictures of cousins (Grayson, Skylar, and Zoe) at the park (not to mention some AWESOME morning hair pictures!!!), Jonathan's last day at Primrose School, and his first day a David Lipscomb Elementary!

Hmmm ... I guess maybe we "have" been busy ... ? Click the link below for a simple slideshow of all this fun stuff! Love to everyone ...

Grayson's Song

Skylar and Zoe

The Atlanta Hagewoods were here for a visit this past weekend and we had a lot of fun. Saturday morning Grayson, Skylar and Zoe Grace all took turns playing the synthesizer and drums in my studio. Later, Grayson got pretty serious and asked me if we could record him playing a song he had written. We had fun laying down tracks. After a few takes, I asked him to try and play along with a "click track" (metronome) which he had never done....and he DID GREAT! Then he asked me if I could put drums to this song, which I promised him I would.

So, the widget below has two versions of Grayson's Song....one of just him alone, and one with the drums I have added for him. Click on the little speaker icon to hear them play!

Now We're Cookin!!

Yes, it is official. The Hagewood's now own a grill! Happy Father's Day, John! We love you! We just now had our first "real" grill installed, so now our back yard REALLY looks like someone lives here! Swingset, grill ... yup, we are definitely gonna stay in this house for a while!

Swingset Day

2008-06-06T18:29:00.000-07:00

6 weeks ago we finally bought a Rainbow Play System for the backyard. Today it arrived. The poor delivery and setup man labored for 8 hours in the 90+ degree sun, and finished just in time for me to go get the kids at school, and bring them home to their surprise.

Jonathan got a peek of it from the car as we were pulling into the driveway, and got pretty excited. Then as we came out the back door, they both squealed with sheer delight and ran to go swing, slide, climb and explore.

After a while they wanted to play in the water (temperature was still in the 80's), but after splashing around in the driveway for a bit and getting cooled off, they were back at the swingset again. I finally managed to convince them to come in, dry off and have dinner about 8pm!

Here is a funny video of Jonathan teaching Kathryn how to swing on her belly!

Memorial Day Weekend

2008-05-25T14:09:00.000-07:00

This afternoon after Church started out as a quiet one, with the kids on the back deck painting in a Curious George coloring book.

Before I knew it, Jonathan was painting himself, then Kathryn started painting herself and Jonathan (click on the image to enlarge, and look at the artistic and somewhat psychedelic paint-shoes he has made on himself).

In the interest of not getting paint all over the kitchen, Jonathan decided a little water-play was in order, and the results were pretty hilarious (and a great photo op!)

In this cute video, Kathryn is spraying Jonathan with water and pretending to be a monster!

Kathryn's 2nd Birthday

2008-05-17T15:23:00.000-07:00

Today was Kathryn's 2nd birthday! It has been such a wonderful day. I'm not sure if she actually realizes it's her special day, but something tells me she knows. She got a couple presents from Mommy, Daddy and Jonathan this morning, and then this afternoon we had family over for a little Princess party (Aunt Chelle, Uncle Jason, Nana, Pops, GrandNana and Great Granddad).

Hope you enjoy these great pictures! She seemed to like dipping veggies in ranch dressing more than the actual birthday cake ... go figure. :-)

Kathryn's First Ponytail!!!

2008-04-26T12:56:00.000-07:00

Yes, it was a monumental day yesterday to have Kathryn come home with a ponytail sprout on top of her head. She finally has enough hair! Her teachers at school must have done this - she must have seen another girl getting one, and she probably wanted one too. Of course, Mommy HAD to take pictures of it. Here are some more pictures, as well as some absolutely sweet pictures of the kids from last night! Click the link below and enjoy!

Good Friday at the Zoo

2008-03-21T19:10:00.000-07:00

Since the kids' school was closed, John took the day off and we visited the Nashville Zoo at Grassmier Park.

A fine time was had by all.

Eight Days Later, and spring is here!

After Church on this beautiful Palm Sunday, the kids enjoyed riding their bikes and scooters, then Kathryn played in the back yard.

We finally got some snow

2008-03-08T13:26:00.000-08:00

Yes, this is a day we didn't expect to see! Got quite a bit of snow last night, and Jonathan finally got to make a snowman (though it was really mommy and daddy who built the snowman, and Jonathan and Kathryn just made snowballs and threw them against the house). At first Jonathan complained the snow was too cold on his hands and "he hated snow". Then, later when I told him the snow was starting to melt, he got upset that he hadn't made a snowman. Soooo, we bundled back up and went outside. It was a fun day! Enjoy the pictures by clicking here.

Hagewood Christmas 2007

We had a wonderful Christmas with family this year. Here are some pictures from Christmas at Aunt Chelle's and Uncle Jason's, as well as a visit at Granny's house. We will try to post more soon!

Family Vacation 2007

2007-07-28T16:48:00.001-07:00

This past week we traveled to St. Pete Beach, Florida to vacation with the Roswell Hagewoods (David, Monica, Grayson, Skylar and Zoe). Everyone had a great time! I've posted some pictures of the trip.

Kathryn's First Birthday

2007-05-17T19:58:00.000-07:00

Today has been quite an interesting day. I can't believe that 1 year ago today we welcomed little Kathryn into the world - and a female into the Hagewood family. She has been such a true blessing in our life, and has given Jonathan a new best friend.

Today at school they had cupcakes and a little party. We gave her our presents this morning (and the present from Granny) so we posted some of those pictures. Tonight, we had cupcakes after dinner and she loved those as well! Tomorrow she has her 12 month checkup with the doctor - it will be interesting to see how much she's grown over the past 3 months.

Catching up!

Greetings, everyone! I know it's been a long time since we've posted updates (well, we've been posting pictures to FlickR but haven't updated the actual Blog posts since our site got upgraded ... and I couldn't figure out how to get us logged back in).

But we've been busy! 2007 started off with Kathryn getting tubes in her ears, the kids got to meet their newest cousin Zoe who now lives in Atlanta, went to a superbowl party where the kids (Jonathan and other kids of John's former co-workers) had a half-time-superbowl-mania-wrestle-smackdown that was much better than watching Prince, and there will be more to come. We'll try to stay more on top of these updates!

Christmas 2006

2006-12-28T08:22:00.000-08:00

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

We had a nice holiday, and the kids had fun. I've posted a few pictures from Christmas day and that evening that I hope you enjoy. Click here to see them!

This past Saturday, Jonathan was queued up to go to 3 birthday parties for his friends. Although he was sick the night before, he felt ok to go to the parties. First was Savanna's at Chuck-E-Cheese. Next, was some bouncy fun at Pump-It-Up (same place HIS party will be at this Sunday!) for Caitlyn's party, then we rushed home because we thought his tummy was going to turn inside out again. We didn't make it to #3. Check out these great pictures!

Yesterday Kathryn had her 6 month checkup, and Jonathan had his 3 year checkup. Both went well! Kathryn got 4 shots, weighs 17 lbs 1 oz and is 27" long (I think) and Jonathan got his flu shot (didn't like that, but he got 3 Thomas trains out of the deal!), and I didn't catch how much he weighs or how tall he is. I know that he is 40th percentile for height and 75th percentile for weight. Both are healthy and growing very well.

John took some great pictures of Jonathan and Kathryn playing in the floor of Kathryn's room the other night. Kathryn is now sitting up very well, mostly unassisted, and has lots of fun with it. Jonathan has been having fun lately handing her new toys to grab. Click here to see them playing.

Oh, what is technology coming to these days? I have just created my own site on Scrapbook.com and I can chat and share ideas with tens of thousands of scrapbooking finatics just like me! Way cool. Great way to "scraplift" ideas from other people when you get stuck! Check it out by clicking the link above. If you want to check out pages I've uploaded from the kids albums, save this link!

Summer Outings

Photos of two very fun outings can be viewed here. Jonathan got to visit his cousins Grayson and Skyler in Atlanta, where we all went to the new Aquarium. Also we enjoyed our first "Day out with Thomas" in Nashville with Jonathan's "girlfriend" Savannah.

2006-07-22T18:57:00.000-07:00

I just uploaded some photos of Jonathan sitting on various machinery in the "construction zone" in our neighborhood. He loves the steam-roller best of all!

Kathryn is now 2 months old today! She went to see Dr. Ladd for her 2 month checkup, and to receive 5 lovely immunization shots. We now know what her waling screams sound like. She weighs 10 pounds 11 oz (50th percentile), height is 22 inches (40th percentile), and head circumfrance is 15 1/4" (50th percentile also). She's growing like a weed, and doesn't feel a BIT of nearly 11 pounds! She starts her first day of school tomorrow at Legacy Academy. Jonathan is doing great after busting his lip on his bed the other day. He's still a great big brother! New "2 month" pictures are up on flickr here.

This is for broadband users only....it you are on "dial-up" I wouldn't bother (it might take an hour or so to download!).

Baby Dedication Video

We just uploaded some pictures to the "Month 1" photo set, so take a look! Kathryn has her 2 month doctor's appointment this coming Wednesday, and she'll get her first round of immunizations. :( I go back to work on Thursday July 13th (another frowny face). Today, Jonathan has a fun day planned at school. It's "water play day" so he went dressed in his swim trunks, then afterwards they get to wear PJ's for the rest of the day, and it's also show-n-tell. He brought a whole slew of trains to show (surprise, surprise). This weekend is Kathryn's baby dedication at First Baptist Nashville, and she has the most amazing gown to wear. We'll post those pictures up here as well next week!

As far as the dogs go, they're fine. They are at the groomers today - anticipating the weekend arrival of their extended family the Roswell Hagewood's! They have to look nice and pretty for them!
