Braves from Ted Turners seats!

It's all about who, not what, you know! Our friends, The Hales, have a friend who is Ted Turner's assistant. We sat in his seats, and had his underground suite complete with air conditioning, a restroom, a giant flat screen TV and tons of plush couches. The kids especially liked this part! We had so much fun ... the game is very different from the first row - right next to the dug out!!!

Easter!

Kenny (Rob's brother), Cole and Wyatt came up for the weekend. Sunny was so excited that her cousins were coming that she told EVERYONE. I'm not kidding; her teachers, her friends at school, the lady and bagger at Publix, everyone. We went to the river, to the indoor pool, to a Braves game and then had some friends over on Easter day. Since I am doing the wheat-free, sugar-free, vegetarian diet ((I know, I know, but there is actually a lot that I do eat!)) Tricia brought lamb and tiramisu, Kristin brought a honey baked ham and cupcakes, I made all the sides and everyone LOVED them! Hee hee!!

Sunny's Easter celebration at school

Sunny told me that Jesus was hung on the cross with nails then wrapped in white sheets and put in a cave and three days later he was gone and that is why we celebrate Easter. I think she got it pretty close!

MOMS Club Easter Egg Hunt

I offered to have the Moms Club Easter Egg Hunt in our backyard since it's pretty level and entirely fenced in. We had about 30 moms, over 50 kids and over 500 eggs!

DUPA

I don't know how it started but as soon as I take off Wade's diaper for a bath, he runs out of the bathroom and runs around the house laughing and squealing. Sunny usually chases him, and then Roscoe chases her and them I am chasing all of them. This day he ran towards the bathroom and by the time I got in there, he was throwing toilet paper in the toilet. Ewwwww ... at least he wasn't playing IN it.
ps ... Dupa is the polish word for tush or hiney or bottom ... it's what we call it in our house since "that's what Poppie calls it".



And I couldn't just post a photo of his dupa so here is Wade contemplating his next great escape .. while eating, of course.


And I need to mention his love for dogs ... he hugs and lays on them. This dog is a Emma Kate and Caroline's dog.

Fernbank Museum

On Presidents Day, we had our neighbor (and Sunny's new best friend, Blake) with us. Since Rob was off, we took the kiddos to Fernbank Museum. Probably not the best idea for a couple of 4 year olds; they lost interest after the first 30 minutes. They enjoyed the dinosaur part and throwing pennies into the fountain. Next time we will just play in the backyard on our day off.

SNOW!

It started snowing Friday afternoon. I was scheduled to leave with 5 friends for Myrtle Beach to run a Half Marathon. We decided it would be safer to not drive 8 hours in the snow; plus, we didn't think we were going to want to run in 30 degree weather Saturday morning. The best Valentines present Rob could hope for: he was not alone all weekend with the kids. Ha! Anyway, we played in the snow for a few ours yesterday and had a blast!

Snow Day!

This was January 8th ... we woke up to everything covered in white. School was closed so we bundled up and went sledding down the long hill in our neighborhood. One of our neighbors recently told me that she saw us all coming down the hill; Rob in his camo and beard, Roscoe not on a leash and me with a baby strapped to the front of me and she thought we were a hippie family - "mountain people" was her term. Nice.

Sunny is FOUR and Wade is ONE!

Let them eat Cake!

My friend Tricia made these cakes for the kids for their birthday party! A princess and a frog. The princess was a white cake with a thin layer of raspberry and the frog was a red velvet cake. We were able to remove the frog off the top of the lily pad and let Wade feed himself. He loved it! Riley was so proud of her cake too!

Christmas 2009

Long overdue but here are a few Christmas pictures. It was sad to not be with family but it was also wonderful to not travel. We put out cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve and when Sunny woke up in the morning, the cookies were gone and there were LOTS of presents ... it was so much fun!

December 2009

There are polo fields near our house with horses roaming free. The owner plays polo there and allows the public to bring kids and dogs and to pet the horses. It is beautiful; we plan to go back when it's warmer and take Roscoe!
