July 18


Addi went to VBS at our old church, Poplar Springs today! She had so much fun and we saw lots of old faces that were VERY surprised at how big she is now since they all knew her before she was born!

July 17

Addi and I made this little countdown to Kindergarten.  I can't believe my baby is so grown up!! 

July 16

Today was Bring a Friend FREE day at Six Flags so we took Taylor, Holley and Hannah.  I think everyone else in Atlanta brought a friend too because it was PACKED!!!!

July 15

Just a cute Harper pic!  According to Shannon, this is her  very first lollipop.  I think she likes it...don't you?

July 14

This is Addi's newest collection! These little Beanie Babies from McDonald's.  Can I just say....I am sick of eating McD's!???!!

Our annual "Dress Like A Chicken" at Chick Fil A picture!!

July 10

We were driving down I-20 today and I looked over and this semi was beside me, filled to the brim with chickens.  Addi went crazy.  I, of course yelled for Drew to take a picture.  Poor things though! There were white feathers flying for miles!

July 9

Look what just opened up in the old K-Mart in Hiram!! It is sooo nice!  YIPPEEE!!!

Shannon bought Harper this little time out rug and guess who is the first one to try it out?? Miss Addi! I really don't think she minds sitting in time out on a cute little pink rug.

We had so much fun with (almost) the whole family today in Marietta!  It was a most perfect day with the weather just gorgeous.  Happy Independence Day everyone!

July 3

We started out 4th of July festivities early with fireworks and festivities in Kennesaw!  Miss Harper LOVED this watermelon.

July 2

Someone got their first stitches.  Poor Addi was just walking by a little shelf, fell and gashed her foot open.  3 hours and 6 stitches later....she was back home and no worse for the wear!

July 1

Pool day at Papa and Grandma's house!  This is a summer tradition...we go out to their house and spend the whole day swimming, eating and just hanging out!

June 30

Every time it rains Addi begs me to let her go play in the rain!  It's usually lightening too so I won't let her but today was just a good ole summer rain so she put on her rain garb and out the door she went.  She LOVED it!  I let her just get as wet as she wanted and she plashed and jumped in puddles forever! I remember doing this as a kid and it was sooo much fun!

My cousin's daughter (Emily) and her husband (Dave) came through town today on their way to a wedding.  We all met up for dinner! It was so nice to see them!!!

June 22

We went to the outdoor movie tonight at Taylor Farm Park.  It was a perfect night and we had the best time!!

June 21

This is Drew and Tasha's daughter, Sydney.  They met at birth and were each others very first friends.  I have a picture of them as babies in their car seats holding hands so I made them re enact the picture and neither one was real happy about it, LOL!

June 20

I have been looking forward to this day for the longest time.  My old friend and neighbor, Tasha was coming through town on their way to Florida and made a pit stop at out house.  We used to be so close and I haven't seen her in 11 long years.  We both cried when we saw each other and it was like she had never been away.  We took up right where we left off 11 years ago.

June 19

Look who made All-Stars!!!  Holley is a little tomboy and an awesome athlete!  She was chosen out of a huge amount of girls to play on this team!!

June 18

We went to eat dinner at Arby's tonight and this is what Addi insisted on wearing.  I just let her go....not fighting that battle.  Needless to say, she got LOTS of compliments!

June 17

Taylor and her new guy!  His name is David and she met him at college!  They make a cute couple, I think.
