Baby Brady

Mom thought it would be fun to dress me in overalls and put me on the grass for a photo shoot. Well I do not like the grass! This is obviously not Capital City Turf grass. I tried my best to enjoy the attention, but my brother was sitting by eating chicken nuggets and I really wanted to eat them instead of acting like a model for mommy.

Sunny California!

As you all well know we have moved to sunny California. I know why they call it sunny California. It is so nice and sunny every day! The weather is a real pick-me-up. Well the boys and I are adjusting well to our new life. Cinder arrived without a hitch too. He seems much calmer than he was in GA since Doug's passing. Who ever does not think that dogs are not smart or have feelings is crazy. Our precious dog has been a blessing for us. He greets us with barks and licks every time he sees us.





As for Master Parker, he is very happy with his new school. He is attending Ripon Christian School which is an 80 year old private school. They don't wear uniforms which he likes a lot because he can show his style. Today is Cowboy Day and of course Parker is playing the part perfectly. He really likes his boots. We borrowed a hat from Katylin who is Alfred (Parker's cousin) girlfriend.




Brady is growing like a weed. He officially has his first tooth. Bottom right one to be exact. He is crawling around. He thinks he can walk, but forgets to move his feet. He has a really cute personality. He has a soft spot for Uncle Al and his cousin Brandon. It is such a joy to be at home with him.


I promise to start updating our blog more often now that we are getting settled.

Parker's 7th Birthday Luau

We had a HUGE luau for Parker this past week-end. He turned 7 on the 14th of July and he really wanted a luau party. Most of you know that Hawaii has been a big part of my life; some of you lived there with me! Doug and I were married there 10 years ago and had planned to take a trip this year. Since Brady was arriving we decided to postpone our trip for 1 year and Parker was disappointed, so I brought Maui to Alpharetta! The pictures say it all.

Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us. Thanks to Kay and Angel for all of their help. Thank you to Kathy for taking the great pics! Uncle Mark was a great bartender. Uncle Sonny did a great hula dance. Our neighbors; The Counsells, The Curts and The Upchurches, thanks for lending the chairs, tables and blender.

The Big Kahuna, Doug, was smiling down on all of us as we partied the night away!
