Great Grandma Lafarlette, Grandma KK, and Anthony

After we got back to Osceola we had to go check out the Mississippi River. On our way to Osceola when we went over the Memphis bridge Anthony asked me what the river's name was so I told him.....then he wanted to know why it was named the Mississippi River? Who knows....well I know now! (gotta love google!)

Threw a few rocks in the Mighty Mississippi

ok....let me explain the next picture! Anthony and Pappy playing with the Nerf guns and yes.....Anthony hit the target! Too funny......

A visit to Osceola is not complete until you visit Bowles Liquor Store and our great friend Lee Bowles!

We had a great visit!

What a great day!! We love you so much Anthony!!

Spec did a great job!

Little more play time on the slide before it's time for everyone to go home.

I would have to say that number 3 has been the best birthday yet! Anthony is really understanding now about birthdays and presents and loves having his family and friends around him!! Thanks again for coming to the party and for the presents.....I hope you had as much fun as we did!

Happy 3rd Birthday Anthony!

September 2, 2011............Happy Birthday Anthony!


For the third year in a row the family went to Hot Springs and spent the weekend together to celebrate Anthony's 3rd Birthday. This year instead of renting a house we had the party at Aunt Carol's house!

I can't believe a year has gone by.......last year Carol was looking around at houses to buy and actually saw this house from the water and it had the perfect yard and sunset view! She moved in this spring!!

It is the perfect place for all the family to get together......thank you so very much for allowing us to spend the weekend with you!!

I had to try the bouce house out for myself! I'm still a kid at heart.


Teresa, Anthony and Mallory watching a little TV.....relaxing.

On to the party!! The kids had a blast with the bounce house and we turned it into a waterslide.

I love the look on Mallory face!

Will's turn.
