22 Months

I can not believe that in just 2 short months that my baby boy will be 2!  Actually he is not a baby anymore…he is a toddler who has already hit the terrible 2’s!!  No, really he is not terrible…he is the sweetest little boy!!  He talks really well, even in complete sentences.  He is able to tell us just about anything he wants.  He loves to play with Legos, cars, trucks and tools!  He loves to help his Daddy work in the yard and fixing things.  He loves going to school and playing with his friends…he especially loves all of his teachers!

Here are a few pictures I took tonight after church.

Sophie’s 4th Birthday Party

We had Sophie’s 4th Birthday Party last Sunday at Playland in the Mall.  She really wanted to have it at the “jumpy place” so that is what we did.  It was a great place because the kids could run around, jump and play for an hour and a half.  Everyone had a great time!

Happy 4th Birthday Sophie!

I can not believe that my baby girl is 4 years old today!  We had a great day celebrating!!  She chose to have Shipley Donuts for breakfast.  She also took donut holes to school to share with her friends.

For supper she wanted pizza and we had cookies and cream cake!  Nana & Papaw gave her this Barbie jeep.  She and Andrew took it for a spin right away!  She loves it.  MeMe, Ko-Ko and Brandon also came over.  She opened lots of presents!

September

We had a good month this September.  The kids have been busy with school and after-school activities.  We have had some low-key weekends and enjoyed family and friends.  Here are some pictures of what we have been up to.

Sarah Beth had cousin Ellen spend the night one Friday night.  We ordered pizza and then went out for yogurt and Red Box movies.  They had a great time!

Andrew can’t help it that he has 2 sisters…he loves to do whatever they are doing BUT he is ALL boy.  He LOVES to help his Daddy work on things.

One of Syd’s best friends celebrated his birthday in Vicksburg last weekend.  We had a great time catching up with friends and helping Jimmy celebrate!

We ended the month with a trip to Jackson to the Ms Children’s Museum.  SB asked to go and MeMe had never been before so we hopped in the car and went.  The kids played with different things this time.  It wasn’t very crowded and a good time was had by all!

Surprise!!!

We had Dinnie (my mother in law) a surprise 60th Birthday Party the Sunday before Labor Day.  It was so much fun and I think she really was surprised!  Thanks to all of her friends and family who came to help make this birthday so special for MeMe.  I took so many great pictures (with my new camera) that I have to pick and choose a few to put on here!
