Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays

As usual I am always late posting different events lately! But...the last weekend of January, we all headed to Orange Beach to celebrate Meg & Kate's 3oth and Lee's 33rd Birthdays!!! We had a blast and ate waaaay too much! The food was delicious and the company was outstanding - we need to make this an annual trip. Suzy got the birthday cake and it was too cute! We also got to watch Sloan play basketball (and Nathan coach!) - she was awesome! The others got to watch Molly (and Kate coach!) Friday night but we couldn't get there in time - I hear that she was totally awesome too! We will have to head down for a softball game once it gets rolling - can't wait until my girls are old enough!!!!

Thanks again to Kate & Nate and Pap & Suzy for hosting all of us and to Nate for planning the weekend and making sure that everyone was happy!!!

New Blog of Note!!!

After much prodding by her friends and family, my best friend/sister-in-law Morgan has started a blog!!! She is a beautiful writer so I know that you will enjoy taking "A Visit on her Screened in Porch" plus your day will certainly be brightened by the beautiful smile of baby Mary Milton.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Lee's birthday was January 27th so we had a special meal that night - all of his picks! The girls and I made strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese icing and they were good!!! We had so much fun in the kitchen and I have to tell a sweet story on Addison. On the way home from daycare, Addison was so excited about making cupcakes for her daddy's birthday and she started talking about how "everyone" was going to get a cupcake. I broke it to her that it was only going to be us and she was so upset and told me: "Mama...Daddy has to have some friends for his birthday" so I called Lee and told him his sweet girl was concerned because he wasn't having friends over for his birthday. We didn't have enough food but for only one more person so Lee asked his good friend at work, Raymond, to come over and Addison was satisfied!!!

Couldn't resist the cream cheese icing! I had to give a little lesson in sanitation and how you can't lick the knife and put it back in the icing!

Catching Up!

Sooo...I have been a little absent from the blogging world. I am working on a big Shutterfly photobook so I have been a little preoccupied with that project. Plus - last week our house was plagued with several different types of sicknesses and we didn't do much of anything except try to survive!!! Below are a few of my favorite random pictures since Christmas - the girls are so funny and love playing with each other! Maggie is starting to speak a few recognizable words and sounds and Addison's imagination is still running wild - she is such a little caretaker!

This is Addison's driving her "bus" to school!

I love how Maggie is laid back in the corner!

Maggie loves to "go" and anytime you mention going somewhere she grabs her coat and starts putting it on - this time she put on hers and Addie's!

Cleaning up after supper - such good little helpers!

We finally got to meet baby Claire - my cousin Tria's little girl - she was born on my daddy's birthday!

We have enjoyed several visits from the grandparents!!!
