Farm Boys

A couple of weeks ago we went up to my parents or what Garrett calls 'the farm'.  That child loves chickens more than any other kind of animal.  Ty loves them too, but he can't quite catch them like Garrett can.  They would spend hours with the chickens if they could.

 Right after I took the picture, the chicken peeked Ty right on the hand.  Apparently it didn't bother him though, he never made a sound.

 Ty was helping Pa with a set of twin calves...

 Garrett loves lightning bugs, he probably caught about 30!

Planning for a party...

I am busy planning Ty's second birthday.  Where does time go?  He is having a farm themed party.  Here is a sneak peak at some of our goodies so far. 

I got his birthday shirt this week and absolutely love it!  If anyone is looking for any kind of embroidery check out Abby Ballerina.  She does excellent work.  She also made the boys crab shirts that we took to the beach.

This cake is going to be in the inspiration for Ty's.  I have found a local lady that is going to make it for me. 

His party is going to be August 18th, here in Georgia.  Invite to follow sometime in July!

End of the Year Baseball Party

Garrett had his end of the year baseball party on Thursday night.  It was at a local place called Jump It's.  They jumped on big blowup things for a while then had pizza and cupcakes.  You can imagine that eleven 4 year olds, things got a little wild.  We only had two mini-meltdowns the whole two hours.

Memorial Weekend

We had a great Memorial Day Weekend.  The weather was absolutely beautiful and very hot.  My parents, brothers, sister-in-law and niece came down.  We had great food and great company! 

On Monday, the boys went to the Braves came and the girls (plus Garrett and Ty) went to Kennesaw to eat and visit Toys R Us.  I had to come home because our house alarm was going off.  I'm guessing the dogs pushed the back door open because nothing was taken and the door was barely cracked, but still a stressful situation. 

We went back up to Marietta to the Gone with the Wind museum, visit the square and have some yummy ice cream. 

We had a great weekend of fun and family!

End of the School Year

Thursday was also the last day of school :(  Garrett had such a wonderful year.  I absolutely loved his teachers and so did he.  I told them to prepare for Ty in a few years!  He has learned so much this year.  The problem is I'm not sure how much he knows because I ask him to count to 100 and he just says, "1, 100".  He can write and spell his name.  Write and spell Ty's name.  Recognize all his letters, number, etc...Can kinda tell time and so much more!

Last Pre-Ball Game

Garrett had his last pre-ball game on Thursday.  I am a little sad that it's over, but Ty is such a handful out there, it will make my life a little easier.  Garrett enjoyed playing, but I think he was ready for it to be over.  The last couple games, the kids just mostly wanted to play with each other.  It was really fun and we will look forward to next spring!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!  We celebrated with a nice quiet, lazy Sunday at home.  After church we went to Jim and Nick's and enjoyed yummy barbecue potatoes.  David fixed ribs, sweet potatoes and rolls for dinner on Sunday night.

David had brought home tulips on Friday.  I love tulips, but they die so quickly.  So he bought some different ones, hopefully they will last a lot longer.

This necklace is my Mother's Day present (not this exact one, not my initials, but the one off of the website).  I have been eyeing it for sometime and finally ordered it.  It will take about a month to get here, I will have to post pictures of mine!
