2 Little Fish

for a month now we have been swimming almost everyday. Ava does good with her floaties but doesnt really want to go under water. Anna Kate however, LOVES it. she will get in by herself, go down the steps until she cant touch then she starts kicking and paddling her arms. Mimi got to witness this for herself when she was here last week. She will also go down the slide at the activity center by herself, and not the baby slide. I havent got any pics of that yet.... maybe this weekend.

Ava's First dance recital

Memorial day weekend May 23rd to be exact was the date of ava's first dance recital. This year we did tap and ballet. Ava had 3 other girls in her class and she seemed to really like going. Every week she would ask me if it was dance day. I thought she looked really pretty and did good for her first recital - of course i thought that - i am her mother.... enjoy the pics

Mothers Day 2009

Ok - so i am just now getting around to updating the past month.... my last post was easter so next comes mothers day.

This mothers day was fun for me. we got up that sunday morning and headed out for family day at the zoo. The girls LOVED it. Anna Kate would have sat face to face with the aligators if we would have let her (pic below) and Ava liked looking at the animals from a distance especially the gorilla. After the zoo they took me to a place I had been wanting to try after seeing it on Diners Drive ins and Dives.... a favorite show of mine.... so we headed downtown to the Twisted Root Burger Company. It was excellent.... after that we headed down to the golf course - it was really HOT and brannon had to water greens - doesnt sound so fun for mothers day but it was... he would let the girls out of the cart to run around while he was watering and they had a blast.... needless to say we were all POOPED by the end of the day. I am just thankful God chose me to be these girls mom ! what a job i have... and thankful for my mom and all she did for me.

Jebs Graduation

Well - HE DID IT. On May 5th Jeb graduated ! We went down to AUBURN on saturday night for a party lacy had for him which turned out GREAT and then back down on monday to spend the night and get ready for graduation on tuesday morning. After graduation and TONS of pictures we went to eat lunch and had a great time. We could not be any prouder of Jeb (and Lacy). They are proof that hard work does pay off.

This was Anna Kates first trip to AU although she didnt make it to toomers or j&m with me and ava.... she stayed with mimi and pop and watched movies.. she did however enjoy her first glass of toomers lemonade and she LOVED it.

Ava got to see where her daddy went to school and the library and samford hall, she said she was gonna go to that library one day and I didnt argue. we went to toomers got her some lemonade and got her a shirt. she cant wait to go back this fall for her first football game.....
