100th Posting

Wow, I have hit my 100th posting. It may have taken me longer than others, but I did it!

This afternoon Brian took Gabriella for a Daddy/Daughter date to Candler Park, ATL for the Sweetwater Brewfest. It was family friendly and they had a wonderful time. They ran into some of her friends from her preschool and Brian's work colleagues. Their little adventure left Brayden and I to spend some quality time together. Even though we didn't make it to a fancy festival we had fun running all around the house and enjoying A LOT of needed cuddle time. Brayden attempted to help fold wash cloths when he decided he wanted to wear his hooded towel and run all over the house. I then started to call him CAPTAIN BRAYDEN!!!!!







It was a nice afternoon to spend with my little man. He is such a sweetie and has a smile that will melt your heart.

FYI...He took a little tumble outside a door when we were at at friend's house last night and scuffed up his nose and forehead.

G-Day in Athens, GA

Last Saturday we had an amazing day in Athens, GA for the traditional G-Day game, UGA's Offense vs Defense. Even though we didn't get to spend much time in the game, meltdowns and exhaustion, we had a fabulous time around town and on campus.


Enjoying a snack before the game!


My child refuses to have tidy hair...ugg!







Being in Athens has gotten Brian fired up for Football Season. I will enjoy my Spring and Summer first and then look forward to the season, but it was nice to be in Athens, GA!

Have a nice day!

Gabriella has taken charge of entertaining Brayden when yard work needs to be done.

 

 

Zoo with Old Friends

Today the kids and I went to the Zoo with some friends. These friends I have reconnected through the wonderful invention of FB. Between the 4 of us we are parents to 9 children, the 10th child I borrowed from a friend while she was at work, she went to Wheeler as well.

Stats of our play date: four out of the five strollers, 10 out of 12 kids, have WHS in our past. Melissa said it best "If you would have told me in high school, that in a few years we would be meeting up at the zoo with all of these kids, I would have told you that is CRAZY!" Still can't believe it.

Edit Blog!!!

I cannot get that black rectangle off of my title part of my blog. Any suggestions? Very disturbed!

First Beach Trip of 2010!

We were able to enjoy Easter again this year at the beach and we couldn't have had a better weekend, minus Jeff & Lindsay, we miss you guys so much! The weather was perfect, the kids had a blast and Brian and I were able to go out, kid free, one night to celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary. Thanks to Fay and Wayne, we are able to enjoy the beach 3-4 times a year, in their fabulous condo on the beach in Panama City Beach, FL. Brayden enjoyed the sand and the pool so much, I am little concerned. He is all over the place, but really loving it!

Easter Fun

It is really hard to keep up lately! No excuses, just busy in our house. So the Spring season has begun and we started it off with a fun neighborhood egg hunt. Brayden kind of knew what to do, except he really, I mean really, concentrated on one egg at a time.






Spring weather brings more outdoor adventures and a couple of weeks ago we purchased some skates for Gabriella. If you know me and my family's history with skating, it is a must in our house. She has picked it up really well considering her anxiety level for new activities. I would love to get her in some brownie quads soon. One of the other reasons we got the skates is because we did a family skate night at a roller rink for some friend's CF Fundraiser. Brian, Gabriella and I had so much fun that we have decided that when summer arrives we will take advantage of $1 skate nights.
