Cloudy Swimming = me not getting in

Happy Thursday!!

  We had a friends day at the pool and we were so looking forward to soaking up some sun! Well that did not happen considering it was cloudy the entire time!  It is 6:22 and the sun is out now more than it was this morning. ugh   Even though none of the adults got in the pool or got any sun for that matter, we all still had a fabulous time. Here are a few pics from our FUN FUN morning!

Sophie Clare, Cole and Maddie

 I am so blessed to have them and there sweet children in my life!

Thanks girls for coming to hang out and I can't wait to do it again!

Memorial Day and A Little Bit More

Hey Hey! We are loving the sun! Janine has her pool open and all we are doing is swimming!  If you knocked on my door, I would have to apologize for letting things go! haha We had a wonder yet busy weekend so the pool time has been nice. Why we ever started this little tradition, I  will never know but on Memorial Day or the 4th of July we always dress the part and have our pic made in front of a window at church. I need to go back and look at all of them! I need to wake up and put on some lipstick! whew! I am my worst critic. Anyways, we had BIG plans to go to Decatur for Alabama Jubilee..........I was tired from the day before and staying at home sounded kinda nice since we had called church off. So that is what we did, stayed home and cooked out.

Monday we did not have big plans at all but to hang by the pool, get some sun, and cook. Sophie Clare was soooo excited to be getting in the pool for the first time.

We were there by ourselves for a while but then Johnna and Braden came down. Sophie Clare and Braden had the best time. These 2 do not act like cousins, they act more like brother and sister. ;-)

Riding the worm in the deep in! They are super brave! ;-)

 Love how they match!

Me and my sweet baby girl!

It was my aunt's birthday so her kiddos came to celebrate with her. We stayed just a little bit longer so that we could see Carver take a swim plus Sophie Clare would have stayed in allllllll night!

Look at sweet Carver loving the water!

Love that face!

When we got home, we had Jamie put the meat on the grill. Sophie Clare was drained and I was doing anything and everything to keep her awake and happy. We decided to eat a little watermelon pre dinner!

Believe it or not she is pretty excited about eating it.

LOVE those lips!!

Yummy!

We had Pork Chops, Chicken, Roasted Potatoes and corn. It was super good and Sophie Clare really enjoyed the corn on the cob this year!

The next day we went to Maddie's little graduation party and then headed to the pool.  Sophie Clare was so ready and even picked out her bathing suit.

Sophie Clare and Braden had so much fun together! When I told her "bubba" was at the pool. She stood at the steps and yelled "bubba, I be there in minute, I finish eating ok...ok" She was so excited and only ate 2 or 3 bites. Oh well, she will snack later..............at the pool of course!

Loving her drink that she picked out at Wal-Mart. This girl cracks me up, she will be dressed soooo girly and pick out something that Bubba likes.

I am so glad she is loving the water, I just hope she does  not get tired of it before Summer is over. 

 We did our errands today, picked up the house so guess what that means for tomorrow.

YEP, THE POOL!!

LOVE SUMMER TIME!!

Carver's 1st Birthday

Saturday night, we celebrated sweet Carver's very 1st birthday! Natalie and Zac did an amazing job making sure that is was jsut perfect! They have been working on there backyard and it look awesome!

The party was green, blue and super cute!

The cutest and sweetest birthday boy in town!

Braden and Sophie Clare........she got down at this party and had a blast!

Throwing grass on her Aunt Ree Ree's toes was the highlight of her night!

This children played so well together and seem to have a fabulous time!

Zac and Natalie did an amazing job on the food.

 Hot dogs, burgers, pasta salad and potatoe salad..........it was all yummy!

The next couple of pictures crack me up. The kids look like they are having a starring contest.

Time for Carver to dig into his cake.............at first he was not so sure.

Natalie gave him a bit and I think he liked it!

Yummy in my tummy.

The cupcakes were from Granna's goodies and were delish.

Time for a bath and get cleaned up to open presents.

He got lots of cute things!!

Love him to pieces!

The kiddos at the party!

I love Carver's face in this one!

You were the perfect baby  for you birthday!! 

Great job to Zac and Natalie for hosting such a fabulous party!

Happy 4th Birthday Matia Grace

Yesterday was such a fun filled day with family and fabulous friends. Our first birthday party, we celebrated Matia Grace's 4th birthday. How is it possible that she is already 4. Time sure does fly! I am so thankful for her and her family!  It was a LONG HAIR TANGLED party although Wal-Mart was a little confused and thought is was Tinkerbell.

Tangled...........Tinkerbell................does not even sound the same does it??  Thankfully, the colors were the same and it worked.

Here is the sweet birthday girl!

The birthday girl and her sweet mother!!

Andrea always throws the best parties! They are totally non stressful. Matia Grace got lots of good gifts. We bought her Hungry Hungry Hippos and we hope she gets lots of fun out of it! :-)

Sweet Matia Grace!

Let's talk about Sophie Clare for a moment, Jamie went with us and Praise the Lord he did. WHY?? Because Sophie Clare would  not get down and play. She is going through this SHY stage and it is awful!  Jamie and I passed her back and forth, finally at the end she decided to get down.

Max is making sure she is not going to get the car. haha

We always try and get a pic, can you tell the sweet sweet children were not into it.

This Matia Grace's first birthday and I am so glad we were able to be a part of it!

Her 2nd birthday

We were unable to attend her 3rd birthday because of Braden's party and that may happen in more years to come especially now that Carver is in the mix. :-)  No matter if we are able to attend or not we will always always celebrate my sweet Tia Grace's birthday!!

We love you!!
