Family Birthday Party

Jocelyn wanted to spend her birthday at Grandma and Granddaddy's house, so we drove down for a family birthday celebration.  

Grandma and Granddaddy gave both of the girls their birthday gifts.  They got a telescope, microscope, world map, Shrinky Dinks and lots more.  

We are so happy that Nana and Pop came to celebrate too.

It isn't a party without Uncle Kyle and Mimi.

Uncle Kyle got Madison two dinosaur stuffed animals.

Jocelyn loves her new ladybugs from Uncle Kyle.  

Mamaw got Madison a Dinosaur Dream Light and a fashion design kit.

Mamaw got Jocelyn a Penguin Dream Light and a fashion design kit.

Jocelyn was thrilled to get a Target gift card from Mimi.

Nana and Pop got Jocelyn just what she wanted, a Barbie Fashionista Closet, a Barbie Pink Shoes Doll and lots of new chapter books.  

We are so happy that we live close to family and can celebrate our birthdays together.  

Happy 7th Birthday Jocelyn!

Jocelyn picked a double decker chocolate chip cookie cake for her special birthday dessert.

We hope all your wishes come true our sweet girl.  

Grand Bay

Today Daddy took us to Grand Bay for a nature hike.

We got to see nature up close.  

We enjoyed these more.  

Time to climb to the top of the tower.

The beautiful view from the top.

It was a great day for a hike.  

Blackberry Picking

Today we went blackberry picking at Berry Good Farm in Tifton, Georgia.  

The blackberries were huge and...

delicious!

Happy 4th of July and Early Birthday!

Happy 4th of July!

We also celebrated Jocelyn's early birthday.

We wish we could all be together for Jocelyn's birthday.

But Daddy will be out of town for Jocelyn's real birthday, so we decided to celebrate early with Daddy.  

Jocelyn got tons of new arts and crafts.  The girls can't wait to start decorating the castle.  

She also got some new things for her ladybug bedroom.

Uncle Guy, Aunt Nelda, Mia and Blayke sent her a Target gift card.  She can't wait to go shopping.

She picked cookie/brownies for her special dessert.  

Making a wish!

Even though it rained all day, it stopped just in time for us to go to Wild Adventures and watch the fireworks.  

Happy 34th Birthday Clay!

Today Clay celebrated his 34th birthday.  

We are blessed to have a man that loves his family and the Lord, provides so well for us and serves our country.

We surprised him at work with birthday balloons, lunch and cake.  Unfortunately, he was stuck in a meeting, so he only got to enjoy the last 10 minutes of his birthday party.  

We are just happy that Daddy is in town for his birthday.

When Daddy got home from work, we celebrated with a birthday dinner, gifts and banana foster for dessert.  

We hope all your wishes come true.  Love you lots!

Paint Your Own Dinosaurs

Madison loved painting the dinosaurs that she got for her birthday.

She even let her sister paint one of the dinosaurs.
