I SPY...

I spy with my little eye....a detective?????

Well I am sure many of you are wondering....Today I was in charge of the Primary Sharing Time & decided on a Detective theme. So let me introduce you to "Detective Julie"....

Well if you are laughing you may as well. Braxton was in a full Belly laugh almost the whole time, I guess he realized what a dork his mom really is.

A Pirates life for me....

Shiver me timber...yesterday we celebrated Kaden's 3rd Birthday with a pirate theme. He hasn't made too many new friends here yet so we celebrated as a family.

We started out by making him a pirate ship birthday cake...per his request. I was a little reluctant since I had never done one before, but I thought why not. I let Kaden help me mix the batter & before a minute had passed he was sticking his finger in the batter & sucking it off. When we finished mixing it he decided he could get alot more by licking the mixer attatchment, so that's what he did. He would giggle everytime he licked it which would make me giggle. So at that very moment I though to myself, if this cake doesn't turn out at all, it doesn't matter, it was worth every minute of it.

The cake, Not too bad...

Then it was time for lunch. Kaden chose to go to CiCi's Pizza.

Let's get the party started....

We put on eye patches, painted our faces, had a treasure hunt, & had alot of fun acting like pirates. It was a sucess. Kaden & the boys really enjoyed themselves. (Okay & maybe me & Evan, too)

Kaden was so excited the whole day. He is so glad to be turning 3 tomorrow, but as for me I'd like to bottle him up & keep him small for a little while longer.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

We want to honor my Dad today because, it is his Birthday. He is an amazing Dad & Grandpa and we feel lucky to have him in our life. Thanks for all you do. We love you & hope you have a special day.

Landon's Bad Day!

Landon will be 6 Months in a couple of days, I can't believe it. Time goes so fast. I took him in for his well-check visit & was worried he might break the scale....weighing a solid 17 pounds. When the Doctor came in I thought she might tell me that he was way off the charts, but to my suprise he is in the 50th percentile. He's not a real rolley polley baby, he is just one solid Boy!The first few pictures are from after his shots today. I was going to add the song "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter, but couldn't figure it out so if you know it & no one is in the room to hear you maybe you could belt it out & know how he felt today. The rest of the pictures are from earlier today or the last couple of days.

Landon 6 Months

Summer Days

"Blog"-wagon

Well, we finally decided to jump on the "Blog"-wagon & we survived! We are just kickin' it here in North Carolina & really loving our new place. Evan is enjoying his Residency at Duke & I am loving the hours. I actually feel like I have a husband. Braxton started the first grade a couple weeks ago & is loving every minute of it. He came home the first day & said "Mom, all the kids in my class talk funny." I said "why what do they say?" & he said "whenever they talk they say hey y'all." We got a kick out of that. Ethan is loving the constant trips to our community swimming pool, you could even mistake him for a fish. Kaden has finally stopped saying "I hate North Carolina" & is actually enjoying himself. Landon is growing so fast, he is almost 6 months old. He is such a happy guy!
I am way out numbered, but man am I loving it.
