Happy Birthday Danny!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband who celebrated his birthday on September 22. It's been kind of a crazy time so we were a little late with the party but we finally worked it into everyone's schedule. Thanks for being such a loving, kind father and husband. We love you more than you'll ever know!! How old did you say you are???? What's that???? Yes, I'm still older. Thanks!

Happy, happy Birthday!!!!

A Little More Emersyn!

Our precious Emersyn is 17 days old and such an angel. She has her fussy moments but we wouldn't trade her for the world. She has really rocked Jonathan and Anne Marie's world. No one can tell you what a difference having a baby in the house is. Nothing is untouched or remains the same, especially the ability to sleep! But as it has been said, this too will pass! And it will, in a huge HURRY! We love our little bundle of joy and she is such a tremendous blessing from GOD! I really don't think she's much into these headbands and bows. What a face!!

She loves riding in the car seat!

Such a sweet picture!

Precious, beautiful doll!

She even smiled for her great-grandmother, Mama! (Or maybe it was gas???)

She's HERE!!!!!

Our precious Emersyn Kate has finally arrived. Born August 26 at 9:26pm, she weighed 9 lbs. 7 oz. and was 21 inches long. What a beautiful, wonderful blessing for our family! She is so loved from the top of her head to the bottom of her toes! Welcome precious angel!!!! She's such a mommy's girl right now! No one can comfort her like her mommy!!

What a beautiful new addition to Jon and Anne Marie's family!

We are some very proud grandparents to be known as Nana and Grampa.

More pictures to follow!!

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

Can't believe Jonathan's birthday has come and gone! I'm a little behind. Life is pretty crazy right now but we got together and grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and had cake and ice cream on Saturday to celebrate the birth of a wonderful, loving, talented young man. He makes us so proud to call him son! As you can see, my pictures are backwards again. (I'll never learn!)

Pretty mean to make the poor guy light his own candles!

We love you Jonathan and are sooo, soooo, proud of the fine young man you've become! Can't believe you're 29. Jeez, don't blink!!!!

Happy Birthday Lauren!

Can't believe our beautiful Lauren turned 26 in July. We went to the "Little Hawaiian" in Carrolton to celebrate! The food there is awesome and we enjoyed every bite! Here we are, just the girls! Can you tell I came from work????

We love you Lauren! You are so special and such a blessing to our family!!! God did really good when he gave you to us!!!!!!!

Audrey's 1

Our precious Audrey turned 1 on July 7. She is such an angel! She's grown so much this year and done so many awesome things. She started walking the day after her birthday. She's not really steady on her feet yet but, boy, does she ever get around! Mama gave her this adorable little "Dora" car and she just loved it! It sings, beeps and she's already learned how to get on and off.

Yea for Audrey! She's walking!

"Watch me!"

Audrey got a new bow and headband for her birthday. It looked so cute on her but only lasted about 1 minute and then, poof, she pulled it off.

Opening presents. I think she almost liked the paper the most of all.

She really liked the little train. It blew whistles, sang songs and rolled along.

Such a cutie pie!!!!

A Little Fourth Fun

Well, I did it again! Loaded my pictures pretty much backwards but, here goes. These are the fireworks in Douglasville. We went up to the JoAnn's parking lot (just like last year) to watch. It was really a great view. Last year there were very few people there but, I guess the word got around cause this year the parking lot was packed out!! Chad and Lauren waiting for the fireworks.

Danny and Lauren.

Silly Jonathan, Anne Marie and Emersyn

We had family over on Sunday the 4th for a cookout. It was great and the weather was absolutely gorgeous! We cooked hambergers, hot dogs and made homemade ice cream! It doesn't get any better than that!!! Granddaddy and Mickey really enjoyed it!

Anne Marie, her dad Quentin and her sister in law Shannon. (and Emersyn of course)

We even had 4th of July decorated tables!
