Eli's Birthday

This past weekend, we celebrated Eli's birthday with her friends on the lake.
We did a small family celebration on her actual birthday...but the real fun was on the water.


It was overcast for the first part of the morning, then it turned out to be beautiful.

Josh borrowed Kyles tube...YES! JOSH BORROWED A TUBE!
There is a first for everything! :)
They loved it!


This one was worn out...can we also talk about those lashes!?!?!
Happy Birthday Eli! We are so blessed to be able to celebrate with you two years in a row!

Nana & the Govs Birthday Celebration

This past weekend, we surprised Nana and the Gov with a cake and early birthday celebration.
Harper and I baked a cake and she helped us pick out their presents.
Nana: a Spa Gift Certificate & Gov: a new Nike Tennessee Half-Zip.
They watched Gatlin & Houston so we could take Eli out on the boat with her friends for her birthday.
Harper LOVED making the cake for Nana & the Gov
Harper cannot keep a secret, so we "surprised" them as soon as they walked in the door.





After the boat, we had fajitas and cake! 


Happy (early) Birthday Nana and the Gov!
WE LOVE YOU!

Harper Says

While fixing my hair in the mirror (as my kids eat dinner)
Harper: mom, what are you doing?
Me: fixing my hair
Harper: why are you fixing your hair? 
Me:Well, I am just messing with it. 
Harper: that is not very fashionable 
Then busts out laughing.
(This kid...what am I going to do with her?)

This Past Month...or 2 months. Gatlin & Houston 15-17Months

We have had a busy summer!  Starting in order of newest to oldest...here are pictures from the last two months.  I would say the biggest change would be the boys...they are walking everywhere! It is so fun to watch them.  It is also nice that they can walk around outside and not scrape up their knees from crawling...or putting everything in their mouths! :) Here are pics from our summer.
