Fall Festival at Perkinsville

God truly blessed the Fall Festival at Church! It was a Christ centered festival, with purposeful planning!! Trathan and Lainey had a great time dressed as an ASU Football player and Lainey as a Lady Bug. They played games, rode horses, ate chili and cotton candy and enjoyed some great friends that came out! It was so nice to see so many families bring the kids out for this. Michael did a great job planning and prepping for the event. It was worth all the time and effort put in. Praise God!

State Fair

We had such a blast at the State Fair last weekend in Raleigh. Jamie joined us with her new friend Dusty. It was very nice to finally meet this guy, we have heard so much about him. The kids loved the fair! They loved the rides, the food, time with Aunt Jamie and Mimi!! It was a great day.

Trathan always ask me what my favorite part of the day was and this was my response, Trathan was almost asleep at about 1:30 and he decided, (we decided) to put him on a "dragon" roller coaster. His eyes were so heavy but he wanted to ride. The roller coaster jolted and he burst out in Laughter. It the best site I had seen all day. He laughed the entire ride, out loud mind you, and had a blast. We had a great time! Thanks to Mimi and Jamie for all the help with the kids. It was a blast!!!

A much needed Vacation!!

We have just arrived home from a weekend of FUN in Nashville, TN!! It was such a blast to stay with Uncle Travis and his sweet family. The kids loved every minute. Trathan spent his time playing football with Jack and dressing up with Levi! Lainey spent her weekend being carted around on the hip of Lily Kate which she came to love dearly! We ate great food, props to Trav for the delicious Makotos meal and some delicious Mexican take out. Our kids did great on the way over and the way home. We made one stop both ways and they watched movies, slept, sang songs, slept, played simon says, slept. It was such a great trip! Thank you Travis for opening your home to us and allowing us to crash for 3 days!! We have never felt more rested coming home from a vacation. You truly made the trip bliss and we thanks you!!

More pics to come...I have to figure out how to download them from my e-mail since we forgot our camera at home!!

Blessings,

Happy 1st Birthday Lainey!!

My little Lainey Bug is 1........WOW!!! It has been a very exciting weekend at our house with the kids birthday's!!! Lainey is 1 year old TODAY!! This is very hard to believe. She is such a character walking around EVERYWHERE and playing and interacting with Trathan. For her Birthday she got the cutest stroller and babies that she pushes around everywhere. She also feeds the babies a bottle and carries them with her wherever she goes. She is a Mommy in the making!

She also got a very special chair with her name on it, thanks Mimi and Pawpaw!! She loved Trathan's chair and now she knows she as her own! It is very cute how they like to sit next to one another!!


I think her Aunt Jodi spoiled her rotten with this special gift....

I do have to say this is the cutest thing I have ever seen. She got into this BUG and took off. She smiled from ear to ear and rode across the living room. We were laughing so hard she loved it!!!
My sweet girl is 1 and this is hard to believe. We have had an incredible year with her. She has added so much to our family. Her and Daddy cuddled to sleep last night. It was very sweet, she has been pretty attached to Mommy the past year, but last night she only wanted Daddy. I think we have a Daddy's girl in the making. We love you little Lainey and are very thankful for your life. May you grow up for a love of the Lord and one day come to know Him as your Savior!

Trathan's Birthday

I can't believe my little boy is 3 years old!!! He has grown up so much in the past month it's unbelievable. Trathan is comprehending so much right now. He is also very tall for his age. We go for his three year check up Wednesday so I will let you know stats. He is so handsome and doesn't mind being Mommy's little boy, most of the time. I think I like to say he is Mommy's little boy but truly he is a Daddy's boy! He is very attached to Michael, so much that I sometimes dread Monday's coming around because Michael goes to school and that makes for a long day. Trathan's birthday party was amazing. He had a few close friends over and all of our family. Michael chalked a football field in the front yard and the kids loved it. We had a pinata, we painted pumpkins and had delicious cake. What a wonderful time it was!!





Happy birthday to a very special boy. We love you very much and Thank God everyday for your life. Happy Birthday Buddy!!!
