Laborless Day

After a busy weekend visiting Sue-Sue & Pops in Birmingham, cheering Alabama & Kentucky to BIG wins, and giving many kisses to new cousin Kylan, we were all worn out. So we spent much of Monday relaxing and sleeping. Then we took Boone down to the river to swim and took Lillianna to watch. They both loved it.

Brad threw the tennis ball to Boone so Lillianna helped and threw tiny gravel rocks to her too.

Go get it Boone!

Yea! Here comes Boone!

Lillianna then found a "treasure" she was so proud of.

A very fun day!

Birthday Blow-out

Busy with Birthdays!

So first it was Sam's (sorry no pics! Brad went with Lillianna and forgot.)

Then it was Lillianna's...oh what fun!

This past Monday Mary Bibb turned two. whooo hoooo.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIBBY!

Abby and Lillianna got kisses from the puppy.

Sam & Lillianna judged Sarah Laine's belly flops....They gave her a 9.6 & a 10.0!

Bibby: Yes, Lillianna, it's true. We get to go swimming & eat cake in the same hour!

Lillianna: I can't believe it!

Let's share the rainbow!

Wait...I don't think this is a popsicle Mom.

Sarah Laine & Bibby decide to test drive the new Jeep.

What are we missing over there?

New baby Wallace sleeps during all the racket.

Can I give you a kiss from the Birthday girl?

Then lastnight we had Sarah Laine's 2nd birthday!

Oh what fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH LAINE!



Lillianna: I baked you a birthday mud pie.
Sarah Laine: hmmm....i think i'll wait on my yummy cupcakes.


Two birthdays in one week. I love being 2!!


New baby Emma Henseley is picture perfect all night long!


Sam & Bibby get some studying in while...

Lillianna plays 32 rounds of Happy Birthday.

Abby came over to play a duet.

Oh how blessed we are with so many sweet friends!

SCHOOL DAZE

So Monday was a BIG day!

Lillianna started school...a day school at our church where she'll play and learn for 3 hours twice a week. We've been talking about it ALOT! Lillianna seemed fairly excited about it. Of course, she felt much better about it knowing that Bibby was going to be there with her.

Here are pictures that Ginny captured of the first day of school.

How adorable are they!?!?!

If only she had looked like this when I picked her up.

She cried alot, only played with Bibby, and ended up falling asleep before 11 am.

Bibby did a little better...playing with others and finding feathers on the playground.

I know things will get better and I know she'll love it...eventually.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BABY GIRL!

WHO oh WHO

is TWO

TODAY?

I know...LILLIANNA!

We celebrated Monday night with all of her friends.

Lillianna and her friends gathered at the park by the river to play and eat pizza.

It was very hot but it was very fun!

Here's her playground cake.

(The little person falling off the slide is not supposed to represent any real events of the party.)

Lillianna and Mary Bibb kicked off the party by making sure they knew how to drive the fire truck... in case any of us suddenly caught on fire...you know, since it was 103 degrees outside!

Sam got right to business...climbing through the tunnels.

Lillianna sized up her chances of climbing to the top...You can do it sweetheart!

Abby shows off her new walking/running skills...and her new boo boo.

Cute Dawson wonders if it could get any hotter.

Mmmmmm! Now that is delicious!

Lillianna: Should we take a little dip to cool off?

Mary Bibb: I'll jump first!

Sarah Laine washes her pretty hair with a little sand.

Pretty Lydia ponders over cake or ice cream...hmmmm.

WHEEEEE!I'm so glad my friends came to play with meeeeeeeee!

I can't stop smiling I'm having so much fun!!

Wow! Look at all the wonderful presents!

Sam: I picked out the most recent model with all the latest and greatest features.

Lillianna: I really like the lights on the power saw Sam. Thank you for my first set of tools!

I'm beat!

I had the most wonderful 2nd birthday a girl could ever want. Thank you to all my friends who came to celebrate. Thank you Aunt Donna and Uncle Mike for making sure I had so much fun!

................................................................

The morning after.....

I woke up a little under the weather....perhaps from all the sugar (thank you Ginny for my very own Pepsi at 8 o'clock!) and lack of sleep. Thank goodness I had my new Doctor's kit to make myelf feel better.

Whew! Nothing makes you feel better than a little left over birthday cake! yum!

What a great birthday week!

Hi everybody! This is hippo.

We're back! With a new camera and a new hippo friend.

A little break

So the bad news is we are having camera issues again.

The good news is we're resolving it so hopefully we will be back soon.
