Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
The boys got to go to the game two weeks ago, and I got to go last weekend! Thanks to GJ and Daddo for keeping the kids so we could go cheer on the tide!
We ended up buying the same seats the boys had so we had great seats! It is so fun to be in the stadium with the giant crowd. And to get to see the cheerleaders and the halftime show!
Meanwhile, the kids were having plenty of fun without us hanging at the apartment…
Weekend fun! Roll Tide!
The boys had a super fun Saturday – they went to the Alabama vs. Arkansas game! Roll Tide!!

It was Homecoming so a great day to be in Tuscaloosa!
We ended up finding great seats and they were only 18 rows up right on the 50 yard line. These boys were living right!
Meanwhile, back at home, Samantha and I had a little date at Chic-Fil-A…
Everyone was happy that night! Hope you had a great weekend too!
We didn’t go big for birthdays this year but that doesn’t mean we didn’t celebrate! Robert was out of town on his actual birthday but we had a little home party when he got back with some Olexa’s cake!
He, of course, had a little help blowing out his candles! 🙂
It was an iPhone year around here – I got Robert a new one for his birthday and my mom got me a new one for my birthday! 🙂 I got the 8Plus so I could get the portrait mode on the camera. I have to learn how to use it best but am excited about the shots it can take!
On Friday night before my birthday on Saturday, GJ came into town and we loaded up the kids and drove to Atlanta for the night. We had an appointment with an Atlanta photographer to get pictures taken of the kids. It was kind of my birthday present to myself! Despite some rambunctiousness at the hotel, the kids did GREAT for the photog and I have to believe he got some really good shots.
I was just happy to be inside a studio after our disastrously freezing photos last year! There was even plenty of things to entertain the kids there too!
As a reward for good behavior we had lunch at – where else? – Moe’s!
There was also some ice cream and a trip to Target for the new toys you saw on Monday’s post. Bribery works every time! 🙂 We were back in Birmingham by Saturday afternoon in plenty of time to watch some football that night. Roll Tide and cheers to another year!
Robert had to go out of town yesterday so we get to celebrate his birthday tonight! Hot dog hot dog hot diggity dog!!
We’re off to eat cake! See you tomorrow!
What a day! It’s our best guy’s birthday today!!!
To quote one of your *favorite* books to read to the kids before bed…
If we didn’t have birthdays, you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born, well then what would you do?
If you’d never been born, well then what would you be?
You might be a fish! Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob! Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of hard green tomatoes.
Or worse than all that. . . Why, you might be a WASN’T!
A Wasn’t has no fun at all. No, he doesn’t.
A Wasn’t just isn’t. He just isn’t present.
But you. . .You ARE YOU! And, now isn’t that pleasant!
Robert, we’re so glad you aren’t a Wasn’t!!
I’d say 40 was pretty good to you….
Can’t wait to see what 41 brings! We love you so much and are so thankful for all that you do.
Happy Birthday to the best guy around!!
We love you Robert!
