Happy Spring!!

The kids are at Chuck E Cheese with Emily the babysitter so I finally have a chance to update our blog. We had an Easter Egg Hunt in the subdivision this Saturday. The kids loved it and got lots of candy. There was even a petting zoo with Llamas, horses, cows, bunnies and pigs. Hope you enjoy the pictures...

(Camden had fun holding this little piglet until Griffin started thumping the poor thing on the nose. Two big thumps from the two year old and the little pig started squealing like crazy. As you can imagine Griffin thought that was pretty funny and thumped him a couple more times until one of the petting zoo workers rescued the little piglet.)



(Isabel really liked feeding the llama. She said his hair looked just like Hudson's)

(After the pig thumping incident, the petting zoo workers kept a close eye on Griffin. He wanted to hold a bunny by himself and the nice lady let him after he promised not to thump it.)

(Yummy)

(Who knew a dog crate could be so much fun?)

(Meet Macaroni #2. She is the sweetest little kitten around :)



(One of the kids took this picture. John hasn't been featured in the blog lately so here he is...)

(We love BBQ Chips!!!)

More pictures

I found one of the CDs from our Portrait Innovations photo shoot when Bailey was here after Christmas. Here are a few favorites...

(Bailey 8, Camden 6, Isabel 4 and Griffin 2)

Updated picture of the kids!

Here is one of the pictures that we had taken at Portrait Innovations in December. It was the only one that I could find on my computer. Once I locate the CD, I'll load some additional pictures on the blog. This one shows how tall the kids are gettting.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

We hope that everyone had a Happy Halloween yesterday. We had a great time. Here are the pictures of the kids in costume. Griffin the UPS guy, Camden the Jedi and Isabel as Jessie from Toy Story.

Here are some other pictures from the last couple of weeks:

(Fun weekend getaway to Chapel Hill a couple of weeks ago)

(This one was too cute not to include. Camden and Isabel locked Griffin in Hudson's crate to get a little break from the pain in the neck little brother)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRIFFIN & JOHN

Griffin is two!!! He is not a baby anymore. The past two years have flown by. It seems like only yesterday that we came home from the hospital.

We had a little family party for Griffin on Saturday. I am waiting on the party pictures from my sister (the semi-pro photographer) but here are the ones that I took. I'll post the others when I get them.

If anyone would like a scary Mickey Mouse cake, give me a call :)

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Isabel and Griffin are off to school!!!

Yippeee! Isabel and Griffin started school today! These pictures were taken this morning before we left for school. Both kids were very excited to go. Drop off went smoothly, no tears, just smiles.

(Isabel's goofy smile)

(Griffin is getting to be such a big kid)

(How sweet. I miss having Camden in the picture this year)

Camden's first day and Braves Baseball Game

The summer is officially over for Camden. He started kindergarten today. We drove him to school this morning and he rode the bus home. He had a great day and is looking forward to tomorrow.

(I think Griffin was upset that Camden was starting school and he wasn't.)

(Yes, that is the school bus in the background. He'll be on it tomorrow morning.)

(Camden's seat. His teacher Mrs. Redfern is in the background)

(Waiting for Camden to come home!)

(Yippee!! Camden made it home!!!)

To celebrate the last day of the summer we took the kids to a Braves baseball game. The Braves lost but that didn't matter. We had tons of fun! The kids even got to run the bases after the game!

(Thing One running the base)

(Thing Two running the base)

(Thing Three running the base)

(Thing Two running the actual bases at Turner Field)

(Thing One and Three walking the actual bases at Turner Field. Thing One was in charge of Thing Three so he couldn't run fast. What a sweet big brother :)
