Ben's Fishing Trip

Ben LOVES to fish! All summer Dad & Grandpa Les have been planning a trip to Morning Star lake to take him fishing. We had such a busy summer that they finally made it up there last Sunday. They left early in the morning- Ben was excited that he got to get up when it was still dark, a true fisherman. It was a perfect day for Ben- he had his first sausage mcmuffin with egg for breakfast, fished and caught some, and got to hang out with dad and grandpa all day! He was most excited about his catfish. When they got home, he ran in to tell us all about it. Thanks grandpa for the special fishing trip and thanks dad for taking pictures for me :)

Sorry

Sorry, I totally messed up the wording on the next post, but I'm sure you can figure out what's what!

Stella's 1st Birthday

Last weekend we celebrated our cousin Stella's 1st birthday. She is such a beautiful, sweet baby- we were glad we could spend her 1st birthday with her, and of course the boys had a blast together as usual!













The birthday girl!















Helping Stella open her presents






















Dad & Kate And of course Heidi swiped someone's shoes!

Kate is ready for TT & Jesse's wedding

What a little doll!
She matched her doll so of course mom had to take a picture.

Aren't they cute?

Last Friday I took the kids to the Fountains to play in the water and on the playground. They had fun running AROUND the water, but neither of them really wanted to get wet- even though it was nearly 100 degrees! I had fun taking some pictures of them playing and of Kate relaxing in the stroller.

Kate- 3 1/2 months

I missed posting these pictures when they were taken, but here they are. Kate holds her head up very well now and is such a happy baby. She is growing so quickly!

Heidi-the fashion plate

Aunt Toni (TT) spoils little Heidi with the most amazing dresses she finds in Nashville. Here is Heidi ready for church in one of them- she looked beautiful and she actually did not pull her braids out!

Starting young!

Ben decided that Kate was bored in her swing so he shared his DVD player with her. I came down the hall to see that he had set the whole thing up on her lap and was chatting away at her while they watched a movie. It was really cute and Kate seemed to love it!
