Happy 4th Birthday Anthony

Since Anthony was born we have tried to get the entire family together every year on his birthday in Hot Springs.  The first two years we rented a house on the lake....these last two years we have celebrated at Aunt Carol's.  She has such a beautiful place and so blessed that she welcomes us into her home and wonderful lake view!  

Here are some of the pictures from our great Labor Day Weekend:

 Everyone enjoyed going to the bumper boats and go karts!

 Ice Cream treat!

 Time with cousins...

Scooby -Doo Birthday #4

The past 2 years we have had Anthony's birthday party at our house here in Starkville with his friends.  This year we decided to have it at Starkville Gymnastics.  When we started making his list of friends out and he kept naming off everyone he knew and wanted them to come to his party - we knew we would not be able to handle 32 kids at our house.  A few were not able to make it but he had a great turnout 26 of his friends came to wish him a Happy Birthday and to play.  I did not get that many pictures...the kids were running and playing to much to be still.  

 The cake was a hit!!

From the foam pit to the bouncers....I think all ages had a great time.

Time for cake...the only time the kids sat down.

The theme was Scooby-Doo which is loves to watch...everyday!  We had a Scooby cake..dog bowls filled with graham cracker Scooby-Snacks drinks and of course Scooby-Doo thank you bags for all his friends filled with Scooby-Doo stickers, crayons, dog bones, and other snacks.  

Anthony had a wonderful time and was so thankful that we had it at Starkville Gymnastics as well...it also rained that day..so extremely glad we were indoors!!

Happy 4th Birthday!

Orange Beach

Had a great time in Orange Beach!



Anthony loved digging in the sand and finding sea shells.

Swimming in the pool

He looks like he is having a good time :)

Just got to the beach in this picture ready to jump in!!

 Supper time!

 Still going strong....Tony and I were give out!!

We all had such a great time....the weather was perfect!  Can't wait to go back.

Pre-School

Wow!  The weeks are passing by fast.  It doesn't seem like it's been that long since I updated with pictures - but yes it has.  Will try to do better....no promises. 

Anthony starting to school the week we got back from our trip to Dallas.  He goes 2 days a week from 8-12.  He loves going and playing with his friends and of course snack time!  You would think I would have time to post more now....but instead of sitting on the computer I try to use that time to do all of my errands and/or clean the house. 

He is really changing and is no longer a little boy.  He wants to do everything "I can do it by myself".  He is getting ready for his upcoming birthday #4.  So hard to believe!  The years have past by so fast! 

I'll try and get a few pictures of him at school to post soon.
