Birthday Boy!

He's 8 folks.  We celebrated in style with a trip to the Gwinnett Braves game.  He also got a new DS since his "retro" DS bit the dust.

I think he was excited.

Uncle Philip came to help us celebrate

It was Superhero night at the game and Captain America and Mrs. Incredible came to wish Luke and Happy Birthday.  Very cool.

Uncle Philip taught us about rally caps.  The Braves were not having a great game so it was Rally Cap time.

Aunt Holly sporting the glasses and purse that Hayley made for her.

Happy birthday to my precious first born.  I love you, big guy.



Nice to Meet You

I was able to meet my sweet niece back in April when she was only 6 weeks old.  Our trip this summer was the first time for L, HA, and HB to meet their cousin.  She is the most precious thing and such a good baby.  I could eat her cheeks up.  The kids couldn't get enough of her and I think Delany liked the attention (for the most part). 

Their first meeting

I think Mimi was in heaven with all her grands around her! 

Seriouly, check out the cheeks!  LOVE!

Aunt Ansley always the good sport.  Hannah wanted her to put on ALL the hair bows.



2nd Annual Romper Room Swim Bash

I love being able to get together with these gals that I have know for many many years.  Some from grade school and some from college.  This summer was the second year in a row that we were able to get together with our kiddos in tow.  Everyone came over to swim and catch up.  Love all these ladies so much. And their munchkins too!

Final Stop

Well...we finally made it to Mimi and Papa's.  Birthday week was in full swing and everyone was beyond thrilled to spend some time in Lilburn.

We spent ALOT of time in the pool.  Great HOT weather made the water temp just right, even a little warm.  Perfect for an afternoon swim I might say.

Hannah only stayed in the pool for a few minutes.  She much preferred the swing.  In fact, she pretty much lived in the swing most of the time we were there.
