Happy 3rd Birthday S!!

Well my littlest one turned 3 today. I was reading on friend W's blog how 3 was a tough one for her when her little boy turned 3 because they are officially "big"- well kind of anyway. If you look at practically any toy- it says- 3 and up so it seems when they turn 3- they're really getting bigger! I totally agree.... She had a great day and most of her little buddies got to come to celebrate with her. We had a clown here making balloon animals and face painting, a jumpy castle (thanks Pam!!), lots of yummy foods and finally DORA!! Here are some pics of our fun day. Enjoy!

Bubble Girls!

So one of my kids favorite things to do is bubble baths! Well, this one was just too awesome- the bubbles were EVERYWHERE! Needless to say, they had an absolute blast. They were all wrinkly when we got them out of there- they would have stayed in there for days had we let them :0)...

Our Canadian Cousin's come to visit

Well you would not believe this unless you saw it (that is why I put the video up) but our cousin J from Toronto is an amazing (ok- I need a better word here) unbelievable rubiks cube solver. In fact, they came to visit us for him to be in a competion in Underground Atlanta. It was so great to have them here- of course the girls just loved them as did we. We ate lots and laughed lots and played lots

and all in all, had a great time. Enjoy the pics and the video at the bottom. And yes, he is solving this with one hand (he can even do it blind folded) ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Clay and Ely get married!

This was a day we were all so excited about. Our sweet friend Clay got married!! Clay is a dear friend from high school. T and I left the beach while M and D watched the girls (thanks M and D!!) We got to have some adult time with some awesome friends. Here are some pics of the day!

Family Vacation 2008 at Rosemary Beach, FL

Every year we go to the beach with the whole fam. We are always on the quest to find the "perfect" house. We got closer this year than ever. We could walk to starbucks (huge bonus!!), walk on the sidewalks that when on forever and eat a yummy breakfast at a cute little place. It was awesome!! We're so blessed to have a close family and I thank God for that. The little cousins all had a BLAST!

The kids hanging at the beach. There was SO much seaweed this time- it was yucky! There were also tons of jelly fish but we learned that the purple ones don't sting- who knew?? The kids loved to play with them. They collected a

ton of them.

Here is G and P with the kids. Mom and the kids made these tye dyed shirts.

I just loved this pic of my girlie girls. They had these awesome fountains across the way from us and the kids loved to play in them. They were super cool!
