Caley had been waiting for this big day for a long time.  Granny told her a long time ago that she would take her to the American Girl Doll store in Atlanta for her birthday.  Boy was she excited and I have to say that I was too.  It really is the neatest store. I […]

    Holly-- The Storm Chaser - What FUN! Lucy has been begging to go, so I told her maybe for her birthday. Lucky for me and Bert, my Mom said she would go and take us for a girl's luncheon!!! So, that means Lucy will be treated royally just like Caley. Otherwise, I would be all, "Umm, we're just looking!" Yea for wonderful grandparents!
    That Caley is too cute.ReplyCancel

I can’t believe my baby is already five years old.  In the fall she’ll start Kindergarten and I’m afraid it’s gonna be like the beginning to the end.  All three of my kids will be in school and I have no idea what that’s going to be like. Caley wanted to have a candy birthday […]

Last Saturday we took the kids on a hiking trip on some trails in our neighborhood.  It was so pretty and such a fun thing to do as a family.  Even Molly went.  We have been enjoying taking the kids around the neighborhood in our new ride.  Can’t think of a good name for it […]

    McKinney Madness - I'm thinking you should name your new ride "The Buzzinator!!" ha ha!! What fun!! Wish we had some trails like that in McCalla!ReplyCancel

The Famous Arch After the Zoo Saturday morning, we headed over to the famous Arch.  We rode all the way up to the top…not good for anyone with claustrophobia…yes, all 5 of us fit in the cart below.  The kids took in the view from the top… Mom liked the view from the bottom a […]

I had to post some pictures of this precious little girl that I took today.  Isn’t she a cutie?  We went out to my friend Joy’s moms house (which is a really neat place…and her mom had just about every kind of prop that you can imagine) and had fun taking pictures of her little […]

    chesley - Brooke – saw your question. I took a class at a community college & went to a workshop in Nashville. I'm always on the lookout for more, but unfortunately, they're usually VERY expensive or too far away. I'm even willing to fly somewhere but $1500 for 2 days just isn't feasible for me!ReplyCancel

This weekend has to be ranked on up there as one of my favorites.  There really wasn’t near enough time to do all that we wanted so a road trip back is definitely in our future.   Our little adventure began Saturday morning at the St. Louis Zoo.  The best part of this stop was […]
