Bubbles.Freckles.Giggles.

Hannah loves to play with bubbles. She always has, even when she was a wee one she would ask to do bubbles at our house, at Mimi's house, whoever she could sucker into doing it. The bubbles are beautiful, but SHE, MY HANNAH, is more beautiful than any shiny iridescent bubble floating in the air!

Dear Aunt Beth...

Dear Aunt Beth, thanks for the bday presents! Cool clothes, however you really could have just given me the box!Ha! xoxo, Ethan

Hickory Grove 4th of July Parade 2010!

This year was the year of the FANCY PANTS Brigade!!! Hannah and some of her friends were in the parade and went all out with their decorations! (as you can see!) Caydence, Aiden and Emmy all paraded down Hickory Grove Rd. in all their glory! Hannah won the "Fancy Pants" trophy for being the most patriotic...we couldn't have done it without Mrs. Sarah's beautiful tutu! :) Thanks Sarah! Caydence and Hannah should have been able to share a prize!

Fireworks & Friends...

Fireworks and Friends...what more could you ask for?! We spent July 3rd AND 4th this year being IN parades, eating yummy food, and visiting with family and friends!

New photography skillzzzz :)

I am LOVING my new SONY DSLR camera. I tell you folks, I will NEVER get another professional pic of my kids unless it involves us all as a family! You will see why when you see the pictures I have taken below. I am just absolutely in love. :) These pictures are a part of a wedding but this montage focuses on the lil girlie friends. This is Hannah and Sydney. They have been best friends for more than two years, and when you are only 4, thats a LONG time!  Enjoy looking at these fun photos.  The first and last pic aslo includes Sydney's lil sister Mylie.

BEEEEACH! with Grampa...

I love being a Mommy!

My special gift from Mother's Day...from my two sweet children! Isn't it beautiful? :)

BLOG SAVED! We are back!

Well, after much ado and HOURS of Malware scans etc. We are BACK online! I could not access my Google accounts at all but everything else was working just fine! Thanks to www.techguy.org forum for helping me!

We have had a BUSY summer already! And its is hot hot HOT in Charlotte already. This week we have had temps anywhere from 92- 98! Whew! And some horrid thunderstorms.

School is out and we are ready to play! We have been to the beach (pix to come) with Grampa Skinner and Aunt La and have been planning a party for Baby Ethan's birthday...

Guess what?! He will be ONE on Saturday. I still can't believe it. Time flies by! He is still such a sweetheart and is very mild mannered unless you take away his food! ha! And Hannah is a great big sister. They both adore each other.

Ethan is crawling, pulling up and cruising at times. He will stand with very little assistance but hasn't made the leap to walk just yet. Soon enough! ha! He can say Mama, Dada, Nana (Hannah), Wassat?, and Uh-oh. He just started signing for "more" (touching your fingers on both hands together for those who dont know). He sleeps well and sleeps IN like my Hannah girl! I couldnt ask for anything more!

So sorry for the delay in posting! Hopefully that wont happen again! Keep visiting!
