Tommy turns Three!

Tommy turns Three!

Tommy had his birthday party last weekend.  His theme was from the movie “Planes.”  We ordered a cake from Publix with blue icing and clouds and then I put some small die cast planes that I ordered from Amazon. I thought three planes fit on the cake better...

Camp out!

This weekend, we went on a family camp out at the Chattahoochee Nature Center.  Many thanks, to my cousin Dale who let us borrow a tent, sleeping bags and air-mattress liners for the sleeping bags.  Our tent was plenty big and we were camping in style.  After everyone...

Butterflies!

We went to the Butterfly Festival at the Chattahoochee Nature Center one Saturday.  After a butterfly release, we took the kids into a butterfly tent where they got the chance to hold butterflies.  Once they had the chance to see butterflies up close, all three wanted...

For Memorial Day this year, the girls dressed up in red, white and blue.  The kids decorated a patriotic cake by using strawberries and blueberries on a white cake.   I did my patriotic duty by smoking a Boston Butt.  I smoked it for about 14 hours so we had...
