Endings & Beginnings....

We are so blessed to have children who are also best friends!

Signing in at Preschool for the last time

We love Ms. Katy!

Cole & Savannah were in the same preschool class for the summer. I ate lunch with them on the last day of summer session.

Taking Bubba to school for his first day of Kindergarten.

A little apprehensive walking in.

Ready to be brave!

"Take my picture before you leave!"

Missing Bubba

Kindergarten is GREAT!


Cole is LOVING Kindergarten. He is learning so much. It really seems that he has grown up overnight.

Savannah's Second 2nd Birthday Party

Ready to blow out those candles!

Savannah LOVES her purse from Great Mama & Great Granddaddy!

Crocs, Crocs, Crocs

Thank you Hannah for my Cabbage Patch baby!

Savannah's birthday party was actually on her birthday this year. It was Minnie Mouse themed. We were blessed to have lots of family & friends come to celebrate with us. Thank you all!

Savannah's First 2nd Birthday Party

Nana & Pawpaw were not able to come to Savannah's big birthday party this year, so we had a little one with just them!

"Yeah, this cake is crash test certified."

"Icing only for me please."

"So can I eat the cake now??"

Should I be a soccer mom???

Cole had his first soccer "practice" tonight. I wish I could post a picture, but I forgot the camera. Practice had just started when, oops, Savannah fell off the bleachers. She was fine, it just scared her more than anything, but it doesn't make a mommy feel too good to see her baby laying on the ground underneath where she is sitting. Then Cole didn't want to stay on the field because his shinguards were too small and it hurt to wear them. Ummmmm I suppose we should have tried those on before we got to the field. When practice was over, Matt tried to toss me Cole's jersey and it landed on another mom's head - which he of course felt terrible about. I guess the one redeeming thing is that on the way to the minivan after practice Cole kept screaming "I want to go back and play soccer ball!" So we will try again, maybe we can make more memories on the field next week!

Four years and counting....

A LOT can happen in four years!! I love you Matt!!!!

Cole's 3rd Birthday Party Weekend Pics

Well this post is REALLY LATE, but better late than never, right? We had Cole's birthday party on Memorial Day weekend - one week before his birthday. Nana, Pawpaw, Gram Gram, Papa G, Great Mama, Great Granddaddy, & Aunt Candace were all able to come into town for the festivities. Because of the holiday weekend not many of Cole's friends were able to make it, but we are so glad that the Peden's & the McCullough's were in town & able to come celebrate with us! We had a nice lunch, Cole opened way to many presents, and had some yummy cake & ice cream. It was lots of fun and we really appreciate everyone who came & made it so special.

Cole was very excited to see Bryant!
