Taj Mahal and Bonnie Raitt Concert with the fam


Last Tuesday night we went to the concert! It was at Chastain Park which was a pretty cool, quaint little spot! It was a fantastic show and I heard the 2 songs that I really wanted to hear from Taj. Great time hanging with the cool kids of the family!

Henry with his Great Grandmother ~ MeMe

Last week my mom and meme came in town for the night. This was a picture of them outside waiting on Walker to get off the school bus. Henry loves his Meme!

Welcome to Ellen's Kitchen!


Doesn't this look like a great summer meal? I thought so and that's why I took a picture! The tomato's were from my garden and they were delicious! I made homemade cornbread, meatloaf, green beans, and cabbage! Yummy, Yummy! You would have thought you were at your Grandma's!!!!

Henry's Bible Verse

http://
Last night we were sitting at the dinner table and we were wanting Henry to say his bible verse for awanas on the camera. It is really so cute how he says heavens and earth. He says "hebens and earf". Little did we know he was going to continue with everything else. We were laughing so hard we were crying! I think we have a future comedian on our hands!

Henry on Potty!

Off to Kindergarten!

My Baby!


Mama can't believe it!


So Excited!



Walker's first day of Kindergarten was August 6th. He was so cute and so very excited! We put an alarm clock in Walker's room and set it for 6:45 and we had been telling him the drill for a while now. We wanted him to get up, brush his teeth, put his clothes on, and then go downstairs for breakfast. I got up early that morning before anyone else to get myself together for our big day. I was downstairs making coffee and I looked at the clock and noticed that it was time for him to be waking up. A few minutes later I heard little footsteps upstairs. Eric and I walked up there and that precious baby was standing in front of the sink brushing his teeth. It was so cute! At that point I knew how excited that he was. He did everything so well and even made his bed, which I didn't even tell him that was part of the drill but that works for me. We had pancakes for breakfast and off we went. I was so excited that he was so excited! I was really alot better than I thought! We got him to his room and we went to the Boo Hoo Breakfast which was great. It was really weird not having him around that day. Henry really missed him! For lunch Henry and I went and ate with Kim, Jl, and Mac. Henry looked at us and said, "me wish Walker was here.". That did bring tears to my eyes and couldn't wait to go get Walker from school! Walker had a great first day! He was really tired and hungry. He thought that it would be cool to eat in the cafeteria, but soon found out it was not that good. So needless to say I am packing his lunch everyday (which I would rather do anyways). This is something that I really don't want to forget.... That night at dinner we were talking about Walker's day and the first question Henry asked was, "did you kick any grills (girls)"? Wow, that one going to school is going to be real interesting. Anyways, sorry so long but really wanted to be able to remember all the details of this special day for Walker. We are looking forward to a wonderful school year!!!!

Open House for Walker

This was taken at Walker's open house on August 4th. We are thrilled with his teacher and his school! I have prayed about his teacher and school for a while now and I feel so great about this school year. He was super excited. It really hit home for me actually walking down the halls, I was like this is the real deal.

Going Going Gone!

It was getting ready to fall out at this point!
It's gone= tear for mama




Let me tell you this was not easy for me. This was the first real growing up thing that I cried over. When they loose a tooth it just changes their look from baby, toddler to Kid! However he does look so stinking cute without this tooth! I just look at him and crack up because it is so different looking. The tooth beside the one he just lost is loose now so that will really look funny when that one is gone. He was so excited for the tooth fairy! The tooth fairy came 2 nights after he lost his tooth because my mom was coming in town and she had the tooth pillow that me and my other siblings used. I just thought that was so special that my boys get to use the same one I used. Walker totally understood this and from now on the tooth fairy will come that same night. You would have thought Santa was coming he was so excited! I just think it is too precious!

My 29th Birthday

August 1st I celebrated my 29th Birthday! I was really kinda dreading my 29th because it is my last year in my 20's. However it turned out to be the best birthday yet! My boys and husband were so sweet to me and made me realize that as long as I have them then it doesn't matter how old I am! The boys made me a princess cake which I loved since I am the only girl in the house. Henry wanted me to have a mermaid cake but that was kinda hard to find anything to go on a cake mermaidish! It was a really big day not only because it was my birthday but for my 2 boys as well. I will never forget my 29th birthday to say the least. My Walker lost his first tooth that night and Henry did # 2 in the potty for the first time and hasn't had a accident since. It really made me realize just how old my babies are getting! No more diapers, and one little boy with a missing tooth. I am truly excited about this year and I am going to make it the best one yet! Since my babies are getting older I think that it just means that we need another baby to add to the family. Hopefully within the next year we will be blessed with yet another angel! I think 29 is going to be a wonderful year for myself and my family!

Boys preparing for my birthday night before





This was the day before my birthday. Eric and the boys gave me money to go shopping with so I went shopping last Friday night. They boys and daddy stayed at home and made me a cake and the boys made me flower pots with their hand prints on them. I loved it! I was very impressed with Eric this year. These are things that I love , little thoughtful gifts from my babies!
