My Little Inch Worm

Somebody is mobile!!! It shouldn't be too long and she will be on her hands and knees!

St Louis

Before we headed back to the airport we did a quick photo session in the park.  OMG it was SO hot and both kiddos just weren't feeling it.  Here are a few that I got.

Avery's 1st Birthday (Dr Seuss!)

Rowie and I made the trip to St Louis to celebrate Avery's 1st birthday.  The theme was Dr Seuss and here are just a few pictures of the details of the party.  Rowan did really well on the plane with it just being the two of us.  Her and Avery got along great and their favorite game was paci swapping.

 You can see her new toothies coming in
 Avery took a little taste and looked at his momma to make sure it was OK :-)


 He then went to town!










I don't think I've ever seen so many people at a birthday party in my life!  It was a great time but we were all exhausted by the time everyone left.

Reese taped her own message to Avery when we got home :-)

I love Willy's!!!!

Those who know me well knows that Willy's is my FAVORITE place to eat.  Rowie is starting to love it as well.  Here she is after devouring some black beans!

4th of July (The Monsoon)

After we came in from the lake we took a quick shower and headed into town for the parade and then fire works.  The kids really loved the parade because they threw candy.









 I can't believe how long Reese's hair is!


 We always try and get a picture with them together and it never seems to happen...


 Miss Kaylynn was too busy for pictures!




 This is soooo Brady!
 She melts my heart :-)
Rowie was NOT having the grass!

After the parade we headed to the local high school to watch the fireworks.  The whole town came out so we had to park a mile or so away from the school.  The sky looked awful but I really didn't want to disappoint the kids even though Guy said it was a bad idea to go.  We got a seat on the grass and I picked a spot that was near a small overhang.  The dark clouds kept getting closer and closer and the political speeches just kept going on and on and they seemed to not see the black clouds that continued to get closer.  It was finally ready to start and with the first crack of the firecracker the entire sky lit up with lightning and the there was a loud clap of thunder that seemed to bounce off every single building of the school.  A millisecond later you can see everyone get up from their seat and rush out of the stadium.  We were outside of the stadium and so we didn't have to worry about being trampled.  The clouds opened and it was a torrential downpour.  I immediately move under the overhang with Michelle and we grab onto our babies.  The guys can barely fit as other people saw this small over hang (about 4 ft).  The guys decided they were going to make a mad dash for the car.  We didn't want them to go but didn't see that we had any choice.  Police started gathering and there were missing children in the mad dash of people.  Our poor kids were scared to death (not Kaylynn she just wanted to run out in it!) and I kept trying to calm Reese down.  A police officer came over and said she would take me and Rowan but that was it.  Well, the last thing I could do was leave Reese and Michelle and her kiddos.  So we held out and huddled close to the building (which was under a tree).  The guys finally got the cars close to us.  What cracks me up is that David said he stripped down naked (in the middle of a neighborhood) and put his swim clothes on.  I'm sure that made a great sight!  We all survived but I don't think Guy is ever going to forgive us!  It's just another crazy story me and my BFF share! :-)

4th of July (on the lake)

Michelle and Guy bought a boat so we headed down to Newnan to hang out for the day.  Our first lesson that we learned was to spend the night the day before.  They live about an hour from us and getting four people out the door with lunches and snacks proved to be too hard of a task.  We got down there way late and by the time we got down to the lake huge storm clouds came overhead.  I'm a wimp and I made David and the girls sit in the car until the rain and lightening passed.  We were able to spend about an hour on the lake before the angry crowds came back again. 

Rowan is getting some payback for all the times people squeezed her cheeks

She started to get a little rough so we had to separate them :-)

Guy was our captain

The kids just loved all over Rowie

Love me some Kaylynn!

I just know that when they get older they are going to be the best of friends!

David wanted me to take a picture of him and his flip.  I did a horrible job!

Kaylynn was acting like she was on the Titanic :-)

I love this!

Brady's turn to steer the boat

I CLEARLY take too many pictures of Reese!

After leaving the lake we went to watch a parade and fireworks.  Stay tuned!
