Just for fun!

After 16 years of marriage and 3 kids, it's not always easy to carve out time for date nights but last Saturday, Rick's boss got married and the photographer at the wedding took this picture of us. It's hard to believe we had our own wedding so many years ago. We don't look THAT different, do we? :)

Nana's Birthday

School is starting here much later this year so we were able to squeeze in one more trip to TN before our break ends and celebrate Nana's birthday with her! While we were there, we got to spend some time with our sweet cousin, Molly Cate, and we headed over to the Frist for a few hours of art and fun. We even stopped in at Tullahoma for one night to eat some cake for Rick's upcoming birthday (sorry you missed it, Faye, I hope Dick saved you some!).

Aubrey and Andrew used party hats to become dinosaurs.

Aubrey & Molly Cate riding the elephant.

Aubrey decided to teach Molly Cate how to flip off the couch.

Aubrey LOVED wearing Nana's fuzzy socks!

Betty took a picture of this and sent it to Agnes for her birthday. So sweet!

Molly Cate coloring with Betty.

Aubrey trying to get Molly Cate to look their binoculars at each other (right after this picture was taken, they walked too close to each other and bonked binoculars).

Rick lighting Nana's cake.

All we needed was Caron. We missed her!! She was already back at school.

Make a wish, Nana!

Davis making his own movie at the Frist.

Playing an intense game of tic tac toe on the glass wall.

Father & son (take a good look at this picture, it's rare to get one of Dick smiling).

Summer Fun!

It's hard to believe it's already the end of July and we only have about 4 1/2 weeks left of summer vacation. It's been a great summer so far and we're hoping to squeeze in a little more fun before school starts! This past week was a fun one! There was Davis on Skype with Isaac, National Ice Cream Day, and a trip to Edventure with our neighbors/friends, Jan, Hannah, & Seth.

Isaac and Davis chatting on Skype. We have no idea what they talked about since Davis banned us from coming in the room. I heard a lot of laughter, though!

Andrew and Aubrey enjoyed cotton candy ice cream on National Ice Cream Day.

Aubrey and Hannah "milking the cow."

Jan, Aubrey, & Hannah gathering eggs.

Davis and Seth to the rescue! Davis is standing in the back and Seth is driving.

Aubrey climbing through the tunnel at the fire station.

A scary glimpse into our future. It's not really all that far away, if you think about it.

Aubrey and Hannah driving the bulldozer.

Aubrey watching Seth use the jackhammer.

Jan & Hannah.

Trying to catch all 3 playing is nearly impossible, which is why this is so blurry!

Andrew & Seth's turn to drive the bulldozer.

Forewoman Aubrey.

Cashier Aubrey, scanning her groceries.

This was a cool new exhibit that based your age on your lifestyle. Apparently, Davis is 23! Hahaha!

Of course this would be Andrew's favorite part- a human body skeleton!

Andrew the dentist. He just needs a little improvement in his bedside manner.

At the vet.

Playdate!

Aubrey's best friend, Madeline, came over after VBS today. We took her to the pool & the playground (since it was actually nice outside) and then she came home with us. The two girls took a bath together and it took me nearly 45 minutes to convince them to get out! Such funny girls but such good friends!

Waiting for lunch.

They held hands everywhere they went, even in the pool!

Bath time! We'll have to save this one for teenage years!

Sweet friends! Watching Tangled and having a snack!

Happy Birthday to Pa!

While Nana & Pa were here, we celebrated Pa's birthday also, which is July 15. My new mixer definitely got broken in this weekend with a white cake and cupcakes for Aubrey and a chocolate cake with chocolate icing for Pa! Happy Birthday, Pa!

Singing to Pa.

Blowing out his candles.

Presents from Grandma

Presents from Grandma and Grandpa arrived today since they couldn't be here for Aubrey's party. There were several Hello Kitty items and a beautiful fan they brought back from Korea. Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa. Oh, and Andrew was thrilled you found his tiger shark and mailed it to him. Davis says thank you for finding his Sunday shoes and mailing it to him (although I think he wasn't quite as thrilled as the other two!).

Opening the first gift.

She loves the beautiful fan!

Hello Kitty! Her favorite!!

Aubrey's 4th Birthday Party!

It is hard to believe our sweet baby girl will be 4 tomorrow! Time flies when you have children! After last year's enormous party, we decided to keep things smaller this year. There was an even number of children so everyone had a friend and played quietly. Our theme was pink and purple and everyone helped with something. All of us decorated the dining room, Aubrey helped make her cake, the boys iced the cupcakes, and Davis helped Rick blow up balloons. We had a princess castle cake, Pinkalicous cupcakes, fruit in ice cream cones, and pretzels dipped in chocolate with sprinkles. The party was a huge success!
