Maggie enjoying her thumb! What a surprise!

Well, with all these fun backyard toys we wanted to have our friends over to play on them with us. It was so much fun!! The kids enjoyed the pool, moon bounce and slip 'n' slide. Maggie just sat on the blanket in her bonnet and watched all the big kids running around! It was a perfect Saturday afternoon. Hunter and I have been so blessed to have found such an incredible group of friends!

Happily Ever After at Cheekwood




Happily Ever After is on display at Cheekwood Gardens until September. We met up with a group of friends and enjoyed strolling around looking at all the fairy tale houses. Tyner crossed the bridge of 3 Billy Goats Gruff. He sat in the King's Chair of the Sword in the Stone and climbed the tower to Rapunzel! It was HOT!!! but lots of fun!

More Back Yard Fun!

Tyner got this great pool for his birthday! He had more fun playing in it. It has a slide and basketball goal. We drug out our grove chairs and enjoyed a cold beverage while he played! Summertime is so much fun!

We have friends coming over on Saturday to enjoy these toys with us!

Playing for a Commercial!

This is what Maggie did while Tyner played in the fountains!
There is a great place to play in the middle of our downtown called the Bicentennial Mall fountains. Our friend Allen called Tyner the other day and asked him if he wanted to play in the fountains with him and be in a commercial! What fun! The Nashville SymphonyOrchestra has hired a new conductor and they are doing a commercial about him. The company Amy(Allen's mommy) works for is doing their advertising! So, since Allen and Tyner are the best of friends we got to enjoy this fun experience with them!

Maggie's Baby Doll





Well, during Tyner's birthday party I looked up and Maggie was playing with all of his cars. She was not only playing with them she was making the "vroom" sound that all the boys make when they are playing with them. I immediately told myself- and a few others- I have got to get this little girl a baby doll!! So, we took a trip today and bought my sweet Maggie a baby doll. And it came with her very own stroller. How cute is that? I tried to get her to kiss "Baby" but she was blowing me kisses instead. Which, that is just fine by me! Sure melts my heart.

Back Yard Fun!



Tyner was so excited to blow up his Moon Bounce today! I even got in there with him and bounced around. It was so much fun just rolling around and laughing with him! What a blessing it is to watch my children laugh, play, and enjoy life! It reminds me of the verse "Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him!!" (Psalm 127:3)They truly are!!

Race Car Birthday Party












Tyner had a blast at his "Race Car" birthday party!! The cake only took me 3 days to decorate- but it was so worth it! Tyner loved it! We had his new 4 wheeler in the back yard and all the children had a great time riding it. Mama and Daddy came for the weekend to celebrate with us! Tyner was so glad Pie-Big (as he calls them) were there! (and of course Maggie was, too) I still can't believe I have a 3 year old! Where did the time go?

Verse of the Week

Our verse this week is Luke 2:9-11. "An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. Today in the town of David a SAvior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

Biblical Virtues to pray for my children

Humility.
"God, please cultivate in Tyner and Maggie the ability to show true humility toward all."
(excerpted from Pray! Magazine issue #4))
