Take me out to the ball game

Saturday we traveled to Auburn for their baseball game against Tennessee.

Yes, we now take up a whole row. And yes, no one other than me was looking at the camera.

Notice how Alex was holding down Charlie's seat so it wouldn't flip back up on him. He didn't really like it when that happened.

We almost melted in the heat, but had a blast.

While our 18-0 win might have been the highlight for some people, meeting Aubie was the highlight for Jack and Melody.

Charlie was on the fence about Aubie. Right up until this picture was taken...and then he decided he wanted nothing to do with Aubie.

War Eagle!

PSF and words

At almost 20 months, Charlie know a lot of words.

Among his favorites are:

doggy
banana
snack
car
mommy
bye-bye
Hello (but it sounds like Woah)

Can you guess what his very favorite word is?



Why is it always that one?

the drool factor

*I actually wrote this post a few months ago and then never published it. In fact, I found a few finished but unpublished posts so I'll be posting some old-but-never-seen-before posts until something post-worthy happens in my life for a few days!*

My son Jack was a major drooler. He pretty much had a majorly soaking wet shirt until he was about 3.

(Jack was about 20 months here and look at his wet shirt!)

I was relieved when Melody turned out to be the opposite. Even when she was teething not a drop of drool would leave her mouth.

I'm wondering now if it's a girl thing because Charlie seems determined to win the drooling contest.

Look at all the drool. And the crazy thing is that he's only been wearing this outfit for 5 minutes! Seriously. I had just gotten in out of the dryer where I thew it in because it was so soaked with drool!Still not convinced?

Look at that.

Seriously, kid.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope everyone enjoyed a fun weekend celebrating the one and only - Mommy!

Mother's Day is the perfect excuse for me to be in pictures for a change.

On Saturday, we went down to Barnesville to celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday. It was wonderful getting to visit with Grandma along with the rest of my extended family.

(My mom, Grandma, Me and Melody - sorry, I know it's not the greatest photo.)

Sunday was Mother's Day and after church

we did a little gardening!

Alex and the kids had gotten me some herbs and tomato plants, so we spent the afternoon planting them. We're hoping to enjoy some fresh grown tomatoes soon!

Hope all my mommy friends felt celebrated this Mother's Day!

PSF and a lesson learned

I learned a lesson the hard way the other day.

If you're out in a clover field

having pictures made of your two adorable younger children

and cannot stop commenting how adorable the three year old looks in her tutu


(Photos courtesy of Pam "P3" Powell)

it is still very important to keep an eye on the 19 month old

because if he eats the clover flower

he'll probably throw it up later that evening.

And you'll probably be in the car, a 1/2 hour from home, when it happens.

The gap

A princess always needs her crown

We went out of town just for a night

shortly after we left, Melody looked at me and said,

"Oh, shoot. I forgot my crown."

I know you're wondering...but we didn't go back!
