Daddo

When my parents were in town, Samantha and Daddo got some quality time in.

Let me check this guy out…

He seems pretty nice. I’m just gonna sit here….

Oh…wait a second…what is that shiny thing?

What do you mean I can’t put that thing in my mouth?! hmmph.

Momma never lets me play with her glasses! Daddo sure is nice!

I think I’ll sit in his lap more often!  🙂

While Samantha and Daddo were having a big time, GJ was getting plenty of quality time in with Spence…

Just a few more pictures from before and after the party when we hung out with family!

and when I say “Maxwell and Daddo” I mean Maxwell only! ha! The set is for 7 to 14 year olds and he didn’t need hardly any help at all. He put that thing together in one day!

It was just a fun day all around celebrating Mr. Maxwell!

Almost 5!

While Maxwell’s birthday isn’t until this Sunday, we had his party this past weekend on Saturday. He wanted it to be Superhero themed and he wanted to be Batman!

Hooray for FIVE!

We actually all got into the spirit and had just about every Superhero represented!

We sure were excited to celebrate our favorite almost 5 year old Batman!! Stay tuned for the party pics tomorrow!

Cousin love

What a treat we had on Tuesday! My cousin, Amy, stopped through Birmingham on the way to the beach with her husband, Birc, and two cute kiddos, Savannah and Walker. Amy is the daughter of Daddo’s brother, John. She lives in Little Rock and it was so great to have her in my town!

The kids got along great – Savannah will be 4 in December and Walker will be 2 in September so they fit right in with the boys. They played upstairs, ran around outside, ate some dinner and hung on the couch…

I think Savannah was a big fan of Maxwell! 🙂

Maxwell didn’t mind one single bit!!

I’m so glad all these sweet kids got to meet each other. I only wish we could get everyone together more often!

summer fun

First, happy birthday to Lulu today! We loved seeing you this weekend and love you!! Have a GREAT day!

Second, not surprisingly, Susan has been creating a FANTASTIC summer for the kids. Every day is an adventure with Mrs. Susan! There have been visits to feed the ducks…

Trips to Bass Pro (where Spencer’s favorite thing was the fish mailbox! ha!)…

An outing to Alabama Theater to see Cinderella (the old animated version!)…

Visits to the park of course…

And as a VERY special treat, Maxwell got to go see the stage version of Mary Poppins at Red Mountain Theater. He loved it. Actually he said it was “absolutely great!”

I think his favorite part was Bert tap dancing to Chim Chimney, Chim Chimney, Chim Chim Che-ree! And he did ask me why he never gets to have a spoonful of sugar with his medicine! ha!

We love summer!
