Happy Early Birthday!

Presley & Preston celebrated their birthday's with Grandma & Grandpa today. It's hard to believe that they are almost 1 and 2. We had a great time and the kids enjoyed opening presents (and the balloons were even better)! We hope they have fun on their trip to Canada and can't wait until they come home!!!!!



PS - Ryan said he really enjoyed having lunch with you at school today and that he was very surprised when he saw you. He was all smiles when he came home!

Don't you just love sidewalk chalk? October 9, 2007

Presley sure does!



ON OUR WAY TO BABY KELLAN'S SHOWER ~ SEPT. 22, 2007

The ride to Florence all of a sudden was very quiet. You can see why.............
We had a great time at the baby shower watching all of the big kids play (yes, Derrick is the biggest)! Presley is very concerned about Ryan being clobbered by Derrick, but it's Hayden to the rescue!

He's my Ryan and it's OK for me to squish him! Funny how she's worried about him when others do the same thing!
Ryan & Presley loved playing with you Hayden!

VISITING MA ~ SEPTEMBER 22, 2007

We stopped at the nursing home to see Ma today. She was very happy to see the kids and we had a great visit.
My little gentleman!
What did you say Ma? Sweet sugar!
And more sweet sugar!

Enjoying some pajama playtime!

Presley loves trying to play music on Ryan's keyboard. Grandma & Grandpa should take notice of the shoes on her feet. You were right, Kevin & Ryan were very happy to hear her coming! Preston loves playing with his big brothers matchbox cars.

And they both love playing with their big brother - he's their favorite toy!

Boy am I starving!

I guess I didn't feed Preston enough today, so he decided to find something in the fridge!His big sister is always there to help him! I don't know what they were planning on cooking, but Presley was sure to have enough saran wrap and aluminum foil to feed an army!
It's amazing how fast these two can get into something when you leave the room! Funny thing is that I must have been the one to leave the refrigerator door open, because they can't open it!

More Stone Mountain!

We're on top of the mountain. The view was unreal and Presley & Ryan loved climbing the mountain. That's Ryan in the middle of the picture!

Climb Forest, Climb!

Presley kept finding flowers!


This was Preston's first train ride - can you tell?

Riding the sky lift down from Stone Mountain.
This is what Preston was looking at in the picture above!
The strip of grassy area you see in this picture is where we watched the laser & fireworks show that night. It seems so small from above, but it is huge.

Stone Mountain Park in Georgia!

We enjoyed a long weekend in Georgia this past week. Stone Mountain is home to the World's Largest Laser & Fireworks Show and the laser show is shown on the side of the mountain. It was very cool and we all loved it. This is the side of the mountain that the laser show is shown on. It has a huge carving on the side of it. I'll have to post more pictures of the mountain later.
Loud music tells the story of the laser show or vice versa. As you can see, Ryan was really into it!
Fishing with a stick and a found piece of fishing line and hook at the campground at Stone Mountain. Life can't get much better than that. Well, I guess it could have if we had actually caught some fish!

Preston loves watching his brother & sister!

Labor Day at the Lake!

We had a great time swimming at the lake and riding in PaPa's pontoon boat. Oh! And the food was good too! We love you!


My kids love the zoo! September 2, 2007

We have to sit on the turtle every time we go to the zoo! Maybe one day we'll be able to see all 3 of them....

Preston found one fish in the aquarium that he decided to watch and this fish had a pattern that he followed. He was swimming in circles and Preston's little head was going as fast as it could go to keep up with the fish!Presley loves the fishies!
The monkeys are fun to look at too!



We've been to the zoo so many times that Presley thinks we're going to "see anmuls" every time we leave the house!

Aunt Gail & Uncle Bobby ~ September 1, 2007

After many hours of driving from Indiana to take Devin to college, Aunt Gail & Uncle Bobby made it to our new house for the first time! We had a great time with them, but it was way too short! (Plus, I think Aunt Gail has all of the good pictures)!
