Share Mommy

Okay so the weather is so HOTTT here and the flower beds just might not make it. Oh well!
Anyways, I've been trying to teach Lily and Ella to "share" me. The trouble with having two kids is that they both want you-at the same time-and it's not always easy. Usually, they will both cry for me at the same time. Ella, being that she is older understands when I say it's time to share mommy but Lily struggles!!!! However, today they both wanted me to pick them up and Lily said "Share Mommy"! One small step........ We're off to the pool

Atlanta Zoo

Today Brandon and I took the kids to the Atlanta Zoo and it was so much fun. The kids loved seeing the giraffees, lions, pandas, and even some flamingos. And we saw the elephants and boy do they stink!! We even got to ride on the train. This is a great place to go whether you have kids or not. The rest of the week we're going to attempt to add a couple of flower beds around our house and do some very needed home repair!

Cookout with friends

Tonight we had a cookout with some friends from church. Justin and Kara White and Bryant and Tabitha Williams. We had them come over to our house for ribs and all the fixins. It was such a good time to get together and the girls enjoy playing with Bryant and Tabitha's little boy-Cody. Brandon and I just recently changed churches because of some unfortunate things that occured where we had been going to church for the last six years and it has been such a wonderful experience for us to be around these people. They have been so welcoming to us and extended their friendship. I am so thankful for these people and that God has put them in our lives.

I had to get a pic of my sweet daddy for those of you that know him

Happy Birthday Lily- Take 2

This past Saturday, we actually celebrated Lily's birthday with my parents at their house. My mom had a little treasure hunt for her with different presents. She was really excited with the big pool and her new kitchen. Brandon and I can't believe that she is actually 2. The past couple of years have just flown.

Happy Birthday Lily- Take 1!

Today we went to Brandon's parents for an early 2nd birthday party for Lily who will be 2 on the 26th. We'll do another party(just family-we went all out last year and I don't think my nerves or budget can take it) on Saturday with my family.No matter how i tried to get her to look at the camera, she wouldn't. She just wasn't in the mood. Oh well!! Her Dora cake was really good though.

Wheelin' Around

There's nothing my kids like more than to go riding on their tricycles at my mom and dad's . They had to get Lily one also because she has to match Ella on everything. I don't know if it's a girl thing or sibling thing but whatever one has the other one has to have one also. They take turns riding down the hill as fast as their little legs can carry them.
