whose toes are those???

so...i guess when you are a boy and you go with to the girls to get their toes done...this is what happens to you! jana took brooke, greysie and emma for a pedicure and scott tagged along. i told jana that he would probably want to join in the fun. and i told her that it would be okay. clear polish would work just fine, i thought. HA! scott did want to join in, but he chose neon green! and the day they went and did this was the day of open house at his school. needless to say...i removed the polish before we attended open house. i could not have him meeting his teacher with neon green toes! :) i love letting him be little while he can. he was so excited about his green toes! i know that before long, he will not be caught dead with green toes. so, i relish this time with him. they grow up so fast!!!

happy birthday grampi!

we were able to go and spend last sunday with grampi....it was his birthday! grampi cooked out for us and gramma made some of her delicious sides. we had a great dinner! grampi can grill out like no one else i know. honestly, he and gramma could open up a restaurant. anyway, gramma got the richest chocolate cake i have ever eaten. it was delicious and i think after a piece, i could go a few months and never want chocolate again. haha! grampi, we love you and are so thankful for you. you are a wonderful man and such an example of what a Godly husband, father and grandfather should be. we are so glad that God blessed us with you! :) happy birthday!

splash!

brooke and scott love gramma and grampi's pool because it has a diving board! they spend most of their time jump, jump, jumping! :) well, except when brooke decides to relax in an intertube! these kiddos are waterbabies if i've ever seen any. they sure do enjoy the pool!

more cousins camp

i keep finding more cute pics from the trips to arkansas and louisiana, so here is another collage! these pics are from the water park adventure in arkansas and cousins' camp and also a couple were taken at pops and curls's house. i love their view of the lake and the window seat, too. how great is that!!! anyway, thanks again to everyone for the wonderful time that you showed to brooke and scott. :)

cousins camp at mimi and poppi's

brooke and scott were able to go to mimi and poppi's for cousins camp. they had a great time and stayed busy, busy. while they were there, scott turned 5! happy birthday big boy!!! he requested a t-ball cake and mimi was sure to have one. thanks mimi and poppi for all you did to make scott's 5th birthday so special and for making so many wonderful memories for the kiddos! they are already talking about cousins' camp for next year. :)

with pops and curls

here are some of the pics from the trip to louisiana to see pops and curls! there were so many cute ones that i decided to make a collage. click on it to enlarge the pics. as you can see, pops and curls kept brooke and scott very busy! they went horse-back riding, picked blueberries and went to a museum that looked super-fun! thanks again pops and curls for all you did for brooke and scott. i know that they will remember their time with you with lots of wonderful memories!!! :)

uncle michael!

scott getting a lift from uncle michael

okay...this was after mcwane center. my kiddos were hungry and tired. don't even try to take a pic of scott when he is hungry and tired or this is what you get. i had to put this in here because it makes me laugh! lainie hates having her picture made, so she would not cooperate at all. so, here is what we got when we tried to get a picture of uncle michael with his nieces and nephew. oh well! :) we love you uncle michael!!! thanks for all you did for us when we were in b'ham. we loved seeing you there and in nashville. we hope to get that way again sooner rather than later. it's been way too long!!!!
