Jumpin' Jellybean

Photo

I just love to jump till I wear myself out.  Thanks for the awesome toy Brette and Dawn!!!  Doing this about an hour before nap time sure does help me fall asleep faster!

Preview from Sunday's Photo Shoot

Here is a preview from Sunday's photo shoot courtesy of my friend Abbey Lindsey.  Did I mention it was like 100 degrees?  I'll let you know when the full lot is ready for viewing.  If you're interested in getting some awesome pics of your own babes done, check out Dylan Blue Photography.

King of the Bed

P280

Dax didn't want to sleep in his crib last night. Despite 6 hours in the car yesterday, he much preferred the car seat... go figure. He didn't even want to sleep in the bed with us. Apparently, big beds are only for playing.

First Mother's Day

If only every day could be Mother's Day! I had a perfect first Mother's Day thanks to sweet Bert and Dax. Grandma and Grandpa fed Dax this morning so Bert and I could sleep in. (Thanks Terry and Bob... I needed that!) Then Bert cooked a delicious brunch for us. Bert, Dax, and I had a gourmet picnic in the park late this afternoon that Bert put together complete with champagne, cheese, crackers, wine, friend chicken, potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw, pickles, tomatoes, sweet tea, petit fours and chocolate covered strawberries. It was a feast fit for a queen! :) We couldn't have asked for more gorgeous weather. I just got done taking a bubble bath. So relaxing! What a lovely day surrounded by the ones I love most! I am so blessed. I hope all you other mothers out there had just as wonderful a day. Happy Mother's Day to you!!!

Somebody Give this Boy a Margarita, STAT!

So I'm a little behind on posting.  It's hard to find time when you're having this much fun!  I still owe y'all some Easter pics... they are coming soon.  I only have like a THOUSAND of them to sort through first!  :)  

Dax attended his first Inman Park festival this past weekend.  He slept through the entire parade Saturday, but there is always next year to watch them try to outdo their crazy gnome record.  What can I say... this neighborhood is... unique???  Dax hosted a big party and our house turned into Kindercare for the day.  We have NEVER had that many kids/babies in our house at once.  Our courtyard looked like a parking lot for strollers.  It was fun although I think the dogs are scarred for life.  Needless to say our parties are different from what they used to be!  :)  Wish I had pictures from the weekend.  If anyone has some, please email them to me.

Daxton has been keeping busy.  He helped put out a fire at the neighbor's house across the street last Tuesday, had guy's night in with Dad so I could have girls' night out Wednesday (there were no major catastrophes - Bert just forgot to feed him!), and had a play date with his friend Brannon on Thursday where he created his first piece of artwork.  He even found time Friday to help Stella, Theo, and I select a bridesmaid dresses and just today he visited his first Victoria Secret!  I'm not sure how Dad is going to feel about that, but he'll be proud his son was flirting with every girl in the store!  I wanted to take a picture of him in there among the lingerie, but figured people would think I was crazy... rightly so.     

Dax received a good report at the cardiologist last Tuesday 4/26, and we don't have to go back for another 3 months.  Woo hoo!  Oh, and we have more great news... we found a new nanny.  Yeah... so happy!  She's from UGA, but we'll let that slide since she's dating a Tech student.  :)  She's in Atlanta for the summer for an internship at Children's, and we think she's going to be great.  

Here's Daxton's latest craze... I think this might spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e.

Precious Katelyn

We met Chris and Kim's beautiful new daughter Katelyn today.  (Well actually 2.5 weeks ago... I'm a little behind on this post.)  She is precious!  So tiny and she is bigger than Dax was when he was born.  You quickly forget how little they were to begin with.  She and Dax are going to be great fishing buddies!  We can't wait for them to join us at the beach next month.  Congrats to Chris and Kim!

Half Birthday

I couldn't let Daxton's half birthday go by without doing a little something, so we let him play with a small blue cupcake.  We sang to him, but we'll spare you that.  He actually eats the cake in the third video.  (Note to self: no blue icing for his 1st birthday lest he turn into a smurf.  That stuff stains!)

Life's a Picnic

Aren't y'all just lovin' this weather?!?!?! I mean, what's not to love? It's simply beautiful and so we just had to go spend the afternoon in the park. Dax loves his new shades! I can't believe he doesn't try to take them off. He's too cool for school y'all! :)

Sweetwater 420 Fest

Stella, Tom, and Stella's awesome mom, Maria, came over for a big breakfast this morning.  Maria was in town to help Stella make a final wedding dress decision.  

We walked over to the Sweetwater 420 Fest is Candler Park this afternoon and ran into a bunch of people we knew before stopping by our friends Tim and Laura Cotter's house.  What a fun day and beautiful day outside!

Life Jacket

Trying on life jackets. Ready to go for a boat ride next weekend!
