Where did June go?!?! Part 1

We have been SUPER busy!! I thought summer would bring on lazy days and lots of leisure time for doing what ever we wanted to. Boy was I WRONG!! We have been busy in a different sort of way. I will attempt to catch you up on the going on's in our house.

Memorial Day Weekend brought friends from South Alabama to visit. Ella (14 mo) and Miller (2 1/2) had fun swimming naked in the pool. They also enjoyed pushing each other around the back yard.

Ella had a little help from her Daddy!

On Monday we visited family in Chattanooga, TN. We had a great time. We don't get to visit this side of the family much so we were trilled to get together. We even took MeMaw with us. She just celebrated her 87th birthday!! What an accomplishment!

Miller loved playing with "new" toys!

Aunt May May did too!!

We ate some of the YUMMIEST foods!! All thanks to my Cousins. It is funny how roles have switched. These two used to be the one's playing while the men reclining in the back ground were cooking.

Our next adventure worth noting was a trip to Auburn. Mom, Miller, and I visited Marybeth in Auburn for a girls plus Miller weekend. Lets just say it was a LONG weekend. It was EXTREMELY HOT and Miller did not sleep well away from home, so three days and two nights felt like twice that. We still had a good time and I have pictures that will last forever. Here are some pictures form our last visit in 2008.

Stay tuned for Part 2...

Summer is in Full Swing!!

Miller finished school last Wednesday the 19th. His class had a little party which included a bounce house and riding toys. Miller and his class mates were all over the place so very few pictures turned out.

He has had a WONDERFUL first year of school. He has learned so much and I owe it to his teachers, Thanks Mrs. Misti and Mrs. Shannon. Miller had a BLAST and can't wait for next year!!





Since school has been out we have been spending LOTS of time outside in the water. Miller has had SO much fun.























This week is Potty Training week. I have put it off long enough. We have tried off and on this last school year without success. Miller has been tee-teeing in the potty since August. Now that it is warm and we are home for the summer, Miller is wearing nothing but a smile and using the potty on his own. Hopefully over the next month I can report we are fully trained but until then....

Happy Memorial Weekend!!

Fun weekend

This past weekend I participated in a E-women conference in Birmingham with a great group of ladies from Church. We enjoyed music by Charles Billingsley, Jeremy Camp, and Mark Schultz and were encouraged and challenged by Sheri Rose Shepherd , Michelle McKinney Hammond , Lysa Terkeurst , Karen Kingsbury, and Anita Renfroe.

Luke and Miller came down to Birmingham to visit with a old friend from Auburn. John's family had a big toy that Miller....and Luke....fell in LOVE with.

They also had a Beautiful house and Barn. Luke attempted a photo shoot but this was as good as it gets....

My parents and sister met us for dinner and we stayed in a hotel that had a indoor pool. Miller LOVED jumping in the pool to daddy....

On Sunday morning we went to the zoo. It was a perfect day for the Zoo. It was very overcast keeping it cool and it only rained once which was quite humorous. Luckily we didn't get too wet.

We had SO much fun and look forward to going back next spring once they open their new Africa Exhibit.

Where's Miller?

Lately this is where we have found Miller Sleeping.

On the floor BEHIND his rocker. So Silly!!

Our Little Helper

Miller's favorite activities these days are to help dad mow the lawn and watering the plants.
