Off We Go.....






Ifyou have ever spent as little as 5 minutes at our house, then you have seen Harris ride his "tractor". He loves to ride anyone who is brave enough to get on with him. Some have been literally run down by him in the past (sorry Caroline) and some have been thrown off (sorry Miller)! Now that Miller has been initiated by being thrown off and run over, he LOVES riding with his big brother. It is so much fun watching them! This has become our afternoon activity.

Happy Birthday Miller!

Whew! It's hard to believe Miller is already one! I feel like we just brought him home from the hospital! We gave Miller two parties this year-a family party and a "friends" party! The weekend before his birthday we invited our families to come celebrate with us. We splurged and rented a moonbounce for the backyard. The neighbors thought we were crazy, but with 6 children(all first cousins) under the age of 5, not to mention the adults that enjoyed a few bounces, it was money well spent! Because his "real"birth day was on a Wednesday, we decided to have Birmingham friends over in the middle of the week. The highlight of both parties, for me, was Miller eating his cake. He ate the entire smash cake on Saturday and a chocolate and vanilla cupcake on Wednesday. Here are a few pictures from both celebrations!

Fun Filled Fourth!


We spent the 4th of July this year at the lake. One of Ms. Holly's kind friends allowed us to use her house for the weekend. We had a blast riding the boat and sea doo's, doing a little bit of fishing, as well as watching Harris put his new swimming skills to use!
