Happy Birthday Jed!


Happy 26th Birthday to my wonderful hubby! (Only 4 away from the           big 3-0..Eeek!!)
We've spent 8 of your birthdays together, and two of those with our precious little man. I look forward to many more. We love you so much!








Happy Birthday and we love you!!

Watch Him Grow!



  When I was little I loved looking at baby pictures of myself. Who am I kidding, I still do ;) but now looking at baby pictures of my little man is even more fun. I was looking through pictures of James when he was first born last night and I can't believe how much he's grown! I'm glad I've been a freak about taking so many pictures since he's been born, because they really do grow and change so fast!
  Some of my favorite pictures of myself when I was a baby were the pictures my parents took of me with balloons to track how old I was (i.e. 1 month=1 ballon, 2months=2 ballons, and so forth). I knew that when I had a baby of my own I wanted to do this, and I'm so glad I did. Once you put them all together it's so cute! Take a peak :)

I forgot to get one of him at 12 months, but I figure to ballon with the number "1" in the background gets the point across :)
Isn't it amazing how fast they grow? He's grown even more in the 7 months since his 1st birthday! I wish I could figure out how to make time slow down a little, and keep him little just a little longer...

Picnic Fun

  Happy Sunday everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their day. Ours was busy, at the least the afternoon was. We slept in this morning because Jed's mother spent the night in the hospital. Still not sure what's wrong. She thought she may have had a small stroke. Thankfully that's not the case. We are still waiting to on test results to know what is wrong.
   After a lazy morning, and a short afternoon nap, James and I got ready and spend the afternoon at the annual Trinity Presbyterian Church picnic. (Jed spent the afternoon in Birmingham with his brothers) James is at that age where he's not keen about being around a lot of strange people, but once he saw the jungle gym, that was it! He was in heaven!

First he found the steering wheel...


and the boy loves cars so this was a big hit!



 Then came the slide...


He played it on the safe side and went down backwards.


 He loved it!!


He was tall enough to reach the rings on his own!!


He even made a friend! How sweet are they? :)


 After a quick trip to visit Nana in the hospital (someone was very tired and cranky by this point), and a couple quick more stops we finished our day with some McDonald's for dinner.

I had a great day with my little man! Hope everyone has a great week!!

My First Post!

  So several of my friends have blogs, very cute blogs I might add, so I though I would give the blog thing a try (how many times can I say blog in one sentence, ha!). It's not as easy as I thought it would be, but I've finally got the format looking somewhat okay. Needless to say I will be playing with it constantly till I get it the way I want it :) I hope everyone enjoys the new blog. I know I look forward sharing bits and pieces of our lives with all of you!


Check out the latest photo of our little man. Isn't he adorable ;)
