Our friends Tigger and Pooh

Today was our standing Wednesday playdate with the Mill Creek Kids' Club. We were at the Stuckey's house and wow did the kids have a great time! They played with the sand and water table, blew bubbles, dressed up as Tigger and Pooh and had a wonderful lunch of Chicken Fillet sandwiches, carrot sticks, chips and juice. We are so glad God has blessed us with Mill Creek. It is helping our marriage, family and other relationships and I know He is working in every area of our life. And little man couldn't be happier with his new friends (mommy, too)!

Blowing bubbles on the porch.
Watch out...the milk thief is making his move!
I'm bouncy, flouncy, trouncey, flouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun! Madi's turn in the Pooh costume.
Erin was Pooh, too!

It is a bird...no it is a plane....

No...it is SUPERBOY! Able to leap tall daddies in a single bound!

Mill Creek SUMMERFEST '08

Today was Summerfest! Our church hosted a HUGE Summer celebration for the community. It was a HUGE success. By our accounts, there were about 400 people that came in and out all day long, and many of them said they would see us next week! How exciting for a new church!! Everyone did a great job putting this together, and the kids had the most fun of all!

Enjoying the slide. It seemed to be the favorite of the kids.
My attempt to get a picture of him on the slide. This is the best we could do.
Little man's two girlfriends! We love these girls!!
Having fun on the slide!!
Some of the wonderful women who made this all happen! I'm so lucky to have yall in my life now!!!!

We can't wait until Summerfest 2009! (I know what you are thinking...don't rush it!) Okay, so I can't wait until next Sunday to see all of the hard work pay off! Come visit us at Mill Creek!

What goes around...

We had to take some movies to Blockbuster just a few minutes ago, and they currently have most of their children's movies to rent for $1.99. I gave little guy the option of three racks of movies to choose from. He bypassed Diego, Veggie Tales, The Wiggles, Lazy Town...ALL of his favorite shows for....

The Chipmunk Adventure!

I seriously watched this movie when I was 10 years old. Now he has not taken his eyes off of it yet. It is bringing back so many of my childhood memories. We were living on Bridgewater Court and I'm pretty sure I recorded this on the old Betamax that my parents let me record stuff on. This had to be a TV movie only because there are blackouts for the commercials every couple of minutes. Little man is very confused as to why there are girl chipmunks though. I had to explain that they are the Chipetts. I still don't think he gets it. HAHA! Here's to memories!!!

Wall-E.

We look little guy to see Wall-E. last night. It was a really cute movie but a little over his head. He kept saying really loud before it started "Where is Wall-E?" I know people were starting to get irritated, but hey, don't come to a kid's movie at 4:55 in the afternoon if you don't wanna hear kids talking! HAHA! He was quiet through the movie though. He had a good time!

Swim time with the gals and MCAG playdate!

So we went swimming at Madi's neighborhood pool with Madi and Karsyn. They had a BLAST playing choo choo with their floats. They are all a year apart. Madi is 4, little man is 3 next month, and Karsyn was 2 last month. He loves these girls and he asks every day when we will see them again! The next day, we had a Mill Creek AG playdate at Madi's house.
The girls were playing dress up and Madi insisted that little man play with them. She went through her closet and found this blue and brown shirt and proceeded to put it on him. He went along with it and wore it the entire time we were there. It was quite humorous!
Yummy lunch of hotdogs and cheetos. I think Madi was the only one to eat her hotdog, most everyone ate the cheetos instead!
They had a great time. If you can't tell by the kitchen, they had everything out and played very hard the entire time. I think short stuff would have passed out on the way home if he wasn't crying about wanting to go back and play more. We can't wait for the next playdate next Wednesday!

C and E October 2007

Little E had his face covered! :)

Baby E's First Birthday Party

Little E had his birthday party yesterday, but today he is turning one! We met them at our neighborhood Halloween costume contest last year, where Cody won his age group and E won the infant age group. We went to his party and we had a great time!

Playing a game of Simon Says
Happy Birthday little Elliot!
Pinata time!

Getting up to speed....

So here are a few highlights of what has been going on around here.

Little Man had swim school at Swim Atlanta and he did a great job! He was promoted to PS2 (the level up from where he was) and not many kids got promoted!
Daddy and short stuff worked hard in the front yard planting our new azalea bushes. One didn't quite make it, but we are hoping that it will make a comeback! He loves helping daddy with everything!

We had a picnic at Playtown. PB&J was the sandwich of choice, with a side of cheese nips and to drink a nice smooth grape juice. After the picnic, he went and played for hours!

We LOVE playing outside. The sand and water table that MiMi and PaPa gave him for his birthday last year has been wonderful, and the umbrella provides just enough shade to make it enjoyable in these HOT summer days!

So come and visit us soon! Big Boy and Diego are resting up for the next day of fun!

Day at the Fountain and Pool

CAM met his new little friend at swim school. They were in the same class and got along so very well, they are now best buds. Swim school was over last week so we got the boys together at the Play Fountain. They were so excited to see each other! The fountain was not working initially so they kicked the ball around for a while. When they did come on, they had the BEST time running and playing in the water. Then about 4 day care busses pulled up with older kids, so we decided to go to the kids pool at his friend's neighborhood. They played for a long time in the pool and they were NOT happy when we had to go home.

GA Aquarium with the besties

Ash and I took our little munchkins to the aquarium. They had not seen each other since JT's birthday in April, so they were a little excited to say the least! They were amazed at all of the marine life and their favorite was the penguins!

McSon's first Hockey Game

We took him to the local hockey game (ECHL) and he had such a good time. When we got there, he danced to the music and I swore he was going to wear himself out! He finally asked the question I had been waiting on..."Where are the Wiggles?" We had seen the Wiggles at the arena a couple months ago and almost every time we pass it, he says "Let's go see the Wiggles Mommy!" Then when the introductions started and the lights dimmed, he was so excited and took it all in. He watched the game for a little bit and then we noticed the mascot, Maximus the lion, was close to us. We went and had a picture made with him and that was IT! The rest of the game he was asking "Where is Max?" We made it a game to look in the stands and find Maximus. He lasted the entire game and even though they lost 1-0, we still had a great time!
