Happy 4th of July!


So very thankful for my sweet Florentine girls and the fun weekend we had together!

Meanwhile Daddy was up to no good giving Cal a "buzz haircut!"

And Lil Miss was growing up too fast!

Watching the tomatoes grow...

Happy 16 months Nellie!

1st dentist appointment
Everything was going well until the light came out and then it was "No sun! No sun!" and no major cleaning done.

Fun playgroup outing to the zoo!

More playgroup fun at Shaw!

Natalie is my biggest cheerleader when it comes to my bows!

Everyday after breakfast and throughout the day Cal asks if we can go to the "Sciner Cener." We were thrilled to have my sister, brother-in-law and niece in town to share it with.

Here's part of the gang busy at play with choking hazards...

A little shark attack with Nonno...

Daddy and the Dinosaur Extravaganza...

and Nellie busy taping her face.

And what better way to end the day than with some Chill?

On to the 4th!
We indulged Cal's obsession with airplanes by taking him to the air show by the Arch. The child did not take his hands off his ears and he LOVED every minute of it!

Natalie and I were a little more distractible, but it's amazing how much I love airplanes now that little man does!

Big afternoon with no nap amounts to a quiet car ride home!

Off to Meemaw and Mac's for dinner and fireworks!

My big boy holding a sparkler!

Nellie girl practicing with a bubble wand.

Cessi was not a huge fan of the fireworks.

She should have done this!

God bless America!

During my sister's stay I got a quick visit with my dear friend from high school and her husband and sweet baby. So fun and can't wait for their next visit!


The last hour together is always the sweetest!

We miss you Price family!

Springing to Summer


Knowing Calvin's obsession with airplanes and helicopters, our dear friend offered Calvin a tour of the local police hanger for his birthday. Cal was in a state of shock like we've never seen. The whole experience was a such a treat!

Thank you Mr. Kleinknecht!



Thank you for my airplane kite, Aunt Betsy!
Go Cards!

Daddy's already teaching Calvin the too cool for school face all athletes have for pictures- very difficult for a former cheerleader to understand!

Thanks for the tickets Mac! They had a blast. After the game Calvin was convinced that Fredbird is the best player.

Fun night out at the zoo with Meemaw and Mac

If her identical features don't convince you, this picture certainly proves Natalie is her daddy's daughter. Travis was king of the bucket head and we have several pictures to prove it. Calvin and I, on the other hand, put up a good fight when it comes to hats.

And here she is putting Travis's extensive hat collection to good use!

These two have become best buds.

Working side by side

And a little friendly sword fighting!

Nellie girl cooling off at the zoo

This is Natalie's absolute favorite spot in the house. Everyday she brings over her milk and babies, pushes the chairs out of her way and plops down right in front of the vent. Whenever I find her, she shrieks like she's been caught.

This family LOVES the Gardens.


Again, Mrs. Kwong, thanks for telling my mom about playard time!
