Mom's birthday

All the girls hanging out in my kitchen!


Jack and his grandpa at dinner

We took Mom out for her birthday then back to my house for cake. We got a picture of all the girls- although Dad and Jack are in the background... along with John's underwear which you might recognize from the Brave's jumbotron picture :) Okay- so I was in the middle of folding laundry when I realized it was time to go to dinner!

How cute are these kids?

We are going through a fun time right now... lots of time-outs, spankings, scoldings, etc... they are official well into the terrible two's. Anna Grace has mastered the temper tantrum- the girl has some lungs! But Jack is a bit more subtle- he just throws things and hits when I am not looking (or he thinks I am not looking) - he can clear a table or countertop with one swipe of his arm. But then somehow - right before I have a meltdown myself- they will turn around and act like little angels- these are the times I live for!

The Braves game

We took Kelsey, Caleb and Stacy to the Braves game for Kelsey's birthday... but John got a special treat when he was picked by the hot "brave's girls" to play a game on the jumbo-tron. While he was standing on top of the dug out cheering like a crazy fan... I was busy crouched down in my seat pretending that I didn't know him as he showed the thousands of Brave's fans his orange underpants and belly. Nice! (he is really proud of this- by the way!)

Trip to Florida

I had to go to Florida for work, so John flew down with me for the weekend to go to my class reunion and hang out at the beach. It was fun to take him around to my old stomping ground. Did I mention- no kids? We stayed at The Resort at Singer Island which was awesome!

July 4th 2008

We had a great July 4th weekend. Both John and I took some time off of work and spent most of the week at the pool with the kids and my family. On the Fourth, we were able to come up with another convincing excuse not to go to the big golf cart parade in Peachtree City... whew! (I haven't been in over 10 years... I am running out of excuses...) but we hung out at the pool, cooked out at Shannon and Brants, then John, myself, Stacy, Caleb and Kelsey went to see the Braves. It was a great day!
