Today we celebrated the fun loving, always smiling, hug giving, never a dull moment birthday of our very special Becky! She has brought so much happiness to our lives during the past 5 years. May your personality always be as out going as it is today. May your smile always be a ray of sunshine that always brightens our days. We are so blessed that God shared you with us! I thank him for you everyday~
Meme and Papa wanted to celebrate Becky’s 5th birthday by taking her to the American Girl doll store. While Gene was pheasant hunting in South Dakota, Meme, Papa, Jena, the kids and I loaded up and headed to Atlanta.
We arrived and were all overwhelmed with all the choices there were. There were dolls in plenty and outfits galore~
Becky wanted one that looked like her and therefore that is what we did first.
Meet Emma Grace, that has curly hair, blue eyes and freckles or “dots” as Becky calls them.
Now to find the right outfit and accessory. Matching pj’s were first on the list.
Give Emma Grace a BIG hug before she heads back to get her ears pierced, just like Becky.
She was such a big girl. Now Becky is listening to how she should take care of Emma Grace’s ear rings.
Then we were off to one of my favorite spots…….mostly for the dessert…. The CHEESECAKE FACTORY.
Here is the BEST big brother EVER! He never complained the first time as we celebrated and shopped!
Happy Birthday Becky! We had the best waitress EVER~ she was so attentive and made Becky’s night!
Here is my dessert~ it was so YUMMY!
Meme and Papa made reservations at a hotel next to the store and they had American Girl packages. This was a surprise for Becky. It was a “pink” themed room with gifts for the doll and milk and cookies for Becky and the doll. Can you tell she was excited?!

Saturday morning we got up and went to the American Girl Bistro for brunch. Even Emma Grace had a spot at the table with her own plate and cup.
My two favorite LITTLE people~ well not so little anymore :(
Thank you MEME and PAPA! This will be a birthday NEVER forgotten!
Becky had her 5th Birthday party @ 30 Volume this past weekend. Thank Melissa for the invitations!
I think the girls had a good time getting their hair, make up and nails done. They colored Ariel pictures, made tiaras and just enjoyed being “GIRLS”!

BIG Thanks to Jena, Taylor and Jenae for making this day so much fun and a day she will NEVER forget!
We had another fun year trick or treating with great friends!
This year Gabriel wanted to be a zombie…..
AAaHHaahahaHHHAAAA……
Whew……… it’s just Gabriel!
Don’t worry~ SUPER GIRL is here to save you!
Fun times with Friends!
I don’t think I have ever been this long between posts. In my defense, there has been so much going on! I spend so much time on my computer doing assignments that during my “free time” the keyboard is the last thing I want to see. So to try and bring us up to speed, here’s what’s happened between vacation and now :)
Starting School
Becky started K4 this year. I can’t believe my baby is in school and is doing so well! She loves going~ although I think she likes the social aspect more than the actual learning. She wanted the teacher that had the trains and that is who she got~ Mrs. Cofield
Gabriel started 2nd grade! He lucked up as well and got the teacher he wanted, Mrs. Swindell. He is really enjoying school this year…. is eager every morning to get up and get out the door.
South Tattnall Sluggers
Gabriel had his first experience with baseball this Fall (where you keep score, 3 strikes you’re out, 3 outs, etc). He has had such a good time! He has had such a great group of boys to play with!
Father/ Son moment after his 1st game! Way to go Gabe!
And of course Becky loved tagging along for the fun so she could play with all her friends!
