For Ethan’s second birthday, Amanda threw his party at the Birmingham Zoo. We had cake and ice cream outside of the zoo with all of the friends and family before going in to enjoy the exhibits. I love my little nephew so much! I am so proud of what a nice young man he is [...]
Sunday afternoon I went outside to get some laundry off of the clothes line, and the girls and I wound up playing a few games with a big old sheet. Remember playing with the gigantic parachute in kindergarten where all the kids would hold it around in a circle then throw it up and jump [...]
I have finally added a boatload of pictures and wanted to write a bit about them. I suggest when you do view them to use piclens, because each gallery has over a hundred pictures.

Back in October, the furniture store finally called to let us know our replacement cushions had arrived. What can be better than new couch pillows? Why a humongous box, of course! I’ll let the video and photos tell the rest:
It’s been over a month since the bash, and I didn’t forget about posting pictures, I just kept putting it off. Until now!
We had a fun pirate dress up party for her. That’s one of her favorite things to pretend to be is a pirate. Thank you TV. A lot of us dressed up, and [...]
