Pumpkin Patch

This morning we headed to the Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch in Clanton. It was our first trip there without a stroller or wagon!! The boys are at such a fun age. (I did miss the stroller since we could put all the pumpkins and stuff in it!) We took a hayride to the pumpkin patch and picked out 3 pumpkins. Then the boys took a ride on the "twactor train". After that, they headed over to play on the inflatables. It was fun but hot! 92 degrees! Come on fall - where are you?

Hodge-podge

This week Bou turned 40!! and Davis lost his 2 front teeth! He can truly sing "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth" He looks so silly, cute but silly. It's also changed his speech which is just funny.


Bou loves ice cream cakes so Davis and I picked him up an oreo one. We had a nice family dinner and birthday celebration.

Trip to Altanta

This weekend we headed to Atlanta to visit Rob, Sara, Jack and Molly(their dog). We had a great trip! I'm so glad we went as I start back to work on Tuesday. (yikes!) I put together a video of some of our pictures and videos from our visit. While we were there, we visited the Aquarium and Centennnial Park. For some reason, I have no pictures of Sara - sorry, Aunt Sara.

Davis clung to Uncle Rob especially at the aquarium. It's no telling how many times he said "uncle rob". Davis and Grayson loved trying to tickle Jack. They also loved playing with Molly. Poor Molly - they messed with her the whole trip!

Jack was so fun to see and play with. He's 10 months old now and is so much fun. He's at that great age of playing, crawling, and babbling.

Zoo Fun in the Hot Sun

A couple of weekends ago we took the boys to the zoo. It was Grayson's first time going and he had a great time. (he probably went as a baby but first "remember" trip) It was hot, brutally hot but fun. We ended the day at the water play part. They've added a bubbles/suds place which the boys loved. Surprisingly it was not crowded that morning so the boys could really enjoy. I've taken Davis on days where there were so many children in the water that he couldn't do much. The videos are from that day. Just this last week, we sent Davis to Zoo Camp. By far his favorite summer activity so far. He was in the Komodo Dragon group. Everyday he came home explaining some new adventure. He's now our zoo "expert"!!

Grayson - Birthday weekend at Pop & G's

Birthday Fun in Carlowville:




Of course, there are always lots of tractor rides with Pop:




And what's a birthday without an aligator in the pond?

Grayson (aka "Little Bit" aka "Me Too") Turns 3!

Grayson turned 3 on Saturday! He is big into anything Toy Story especially Buzz and Woody. We had a party at preschool on Thursday, and then headed to Mom and Dad's for the weekend. At preschool, he's in a class with 12 others his age (he was the last to turn 3). (Boy am I thankful that's not where I work!)


(So if you follow the blog, cake wrecks, then you'll laugh at this cake. Since I do look at cake wrecks, I noticed that Woody's lasso/rope looks like a string of poop. Oh well, at least the cake tasted good and probably I was the only one that thought it looked like poop!)

It's the swagger wagon!!

I saw this video on another blog today and it is so funny. Thought I'd share:



(and yes, after Grayson was born, we too bought a Sienna!)
