Happy 5th Birthday SB!

Today my oldest baby turned 5!! I can't believe that it has already been 5 years that Syd and I first became parents. Sarah Beth is a super fun child! She is so smart, outgoing and sweet. She is a little social butterfly and is the BEST big sister! She is such a blessing in our lives. We love you SB!!

Here are a few pictures from her skating party that she had on Friday night. Most kids brought their bikes or scooters and they had free reign of the roller rink! SB had a great time with her friends.

I ask SB what she wanted for her birthday dinner and of course she said "Mexican"! She loves El Sombrero. She wanted to wear the extra large sombrero and the waiters to sing Happy Birthday to her. She kept asking, "When are they going to sing?!" She said that was her favorite part of the day...oh the little things in life! We had a great weekend celebrating SB's 5th birthday!!

A quick trip to Gulfport!

This is Spring Break week for us and we have been busy! On Monday Kori had a doctor's appointment in Jackso so we thought that this would be a great day to visit the new Ms Children's Museum but guess what!? It is CLOSED on Mondays! Oh well....we decided to shop at Target instead.
On Tuesday, me and my 3 kids, Kori and Brandon and Mom and Dad loaded up 2 cars and headed south to Gulfport. Mom and Kori wanted to do a little outlet mall shopping and I thought it would be a fun little getaway for the girls during Spring Break! They did awesome on the ride down but the weather quickly turned nasty! We did enjoy a little shopping but the girls were more excited about our hotel room suite. So I took them back and let them have fun playing in the room. Wednesday morning I had planned on meeting a couple of friends with their girls at the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center but the weather was really stormy so we canceled that. Once the weather cleared up we loaded back up and headed to Hattiesburg. The girls love the "Golden Eagle" store so I let them shop for a bit and then me and the girls drove on to Vicksburg while Mom, Dad, and Kori did a little more shopping in Hattiesburg. I was worn slap out by Wednesday night!
Thursday we had a very "laid" back day. We did enjoy our favorite lunch at Nannie and Grandaddy's house...Chicken and Dumplings! Yummy! Today is Friday and it is Sarah Beth's 5th birthday party at Big Wheelie Skating Rink! Check back later for the birthday post!

Here is my sweet boy sleeping soundly in the hotel!

Sarah Beth enjoyed playing in the closet....I thought this was a cool picture!

Andrew's Baptism

Sunday, March 6, 2011 we had Andrew baptized at St. Paul Catholic Church. This was such a special day! Andrew was so lucky to be surrounded by lots of family on this day. Bryan, his godfather, traveled from Birmingham to be there and Holly, his godmother traveled from Oxford to be there. Here are just a few pics from the ceremony. My camera died so my sister has lots of good pictures on her camera. I will post more when I get them from her!
