Grayson's Easter Party ~ 4/21/2011

Grayson's group of friends from "Room 11" have to be the most adorable and fun group you have ever seen. They are full of personality and he definitely plays his part in the personality department. Fun little guy...check out some pics from the Easter fun...

The race is on!

Checking out his loot...

(notice everyone else is still egg hunting)




Buddy Jackson!



Posing with Momma and Ava :)

First Trophy

T-Ball was so much fun for Cullen this year! At the end of the season, he got his first trophy (along with all of his other teammates) and he was so proud. It still sits on the mantle :)

Showing his moves on the field!

And getting a daddy pep-talk...




Can't wait til' the next tball season begins!!

Beach Trip #1

During the week of Memorial Day, we headed to Waterscape at Ft. Walton Beach and can we say that these people have the idea of Family Friendly down to an art! We were steps from the beach...had three different pools to choose from...a lazy river...a pirate ship waterslide...and water fountains and slides galore! What a fun time we had...we didn't even have to leave the resort.


At times...the sand was a bit much for our little Grayson!

But then it was all worth it when we could capture sweet moments like this...

They absolutely loved hanging out at the pool and loved spending vacation with cousin Evie :)

Grayson and Daddy were lazy river buddies the whole time we were there!

Well, on the last night we were there..."Mr. I hate sand" decided he would embrace the beach in all of his glory and while completely dressed...

For a little while we were wondering if this was the same child who had been with us all week...


Then our little guy came back to his senses...and the situation went from good then to well "worse"...

We truly had a great time and hated to see it come to an end!

First Bike!

October 3, 2010

We had promised Cullen for a while that we would get him a "Big Boy Bike" and the day finally came! He and his daddy looked long and hard. They finally decided on the perfect one...

Cullen turns 4 ~ August 4, 2010

Cullen really wanted a pirate party for his fourth birthday! We had a very special day but oh the pains of an August birthday...It was H-O-T!!!!!! We had pirate decorations...

The piniata was so much fun!

The tattoo table was a hit...

We think?

Don't forget the cake...
More pirate fun included:

Searching for buried treasure!
And a very exhausted little brother...


But never too exhausted to get a gift of his very own in order to not be left out of the birthday fun!

And we would be crazy not to mention the after party

in our living room!!!!

I was sad not to have gotten more pictures of Cullen but he was quite the busy guy during the party. Anyway, lots of memories captured and a party full of fun!

Mommy Turns 30! Yuck!

Yes...It's true...I actually did turn 30. I never really imagined even turning 30 because I have always thought of myself in my 20s. 30 was never even a thought. I really did not want a large event for the depressing occasion but any occasion is nice to me if it is spent with my family!

Mom and Dad came to Tupelo and spent the weekend. They also kept the boys so that Cliff and I could have a date! And there is nothing better than a creative cakes birthday cake to ease turning 30!

Belly Buttons

Grayson has officially found his....Belly Button! It is the funniest thing. He tries to pull up his big belly to try and look at it but his tummy is so big that he certainly can't see it. He will literally try a million times to see his belly button and he never gives up. It is hilarious! He will eventually trade off looking at it by putting his finger in it. Last night the boys enjoyed taking turns pushing each other's belly buttons and laughing hysterically! Fun times. No picture, just a a memory.
