Happy Birthday To my Sweet Husband!!

Hope you have a wonderful Birthday!! WE Love you!

Thankful...

One year ago today at only 17 days old Seth came down with a fever so I took him into the doctors office . We were then sent downtown to the Hemby's Childrens Hospital where later that evening Seth was diagnosed with Bacterial Meningitis. Seth was admitted into PICU and placed on a ventilator for 9 days. We were told that getting thru the first 48 hrs was really a matter of life and death and that it could go either way.Thankfully it went the right way and God healed his little tiny body totally and completely. I'm so happy today to say that one year later Seth is a perfectly healthy one year old!!! We are so Thankful that God healed him we could not imagine our Life with out him...

GOD is Sooo GOOD!! These pictures were taken after he came out of PICU.

This is Seth's Amazing doctor "Doc. Johnson"

Hope you have a Great birthday Mom... I love you and thanks for being such a wonderful mother and grandmother well "maw-ma".

One year ago today...

Our life's changed forever when God blessed our family with our Precious baby boy Seth Ryan thru the miracle of adoption. We could never imagine our life without this sweet boy in it. So in honor of this special Birthday we celebrated with friends and family yesterday with a monkey party for our little monkey Seth!!

His monkey cake was sooo adorable and sooo YUMMY!!!!

A good friend of mine Kim had this b-day hat made for Seth when he was first born to wear for his 1st b-day. It is so cute but he hated wearing it.

Are you sure??? All of this is cake is for me...Are you kidding me?

Hmmmm. was all he could say!!

And than it was gone.

Opening presents... He got a monkey backpack: )

More presents!! He liked the cards the most. They are so funny at this age.

Its was a wonderful 1st birthday for Seth with Beautiful weather. We rented a moon bounce too but I really think we wasted our money on that.I really rented it for the older children that came to the party but they were more interested in riding our golf cart more : )

Seth Ryan you are a true gift from God. We love you so very much!! Happy Birthday Sweet boy!!

Big Girls Don't CRY!!!

But mom sure does... Yes I teared up this morning when I dropped Avery off for her very First day of middle school. Avery on the other hand was so excited and did not seem to be one bit nervous Thankfully!! I really do think this is going to be a great year we LOVE the school and Avery is really a good girl and I think she will do really well as long as she does not come home with the " I know it all attitude" Ha !!

I did have to sneak this picture when I let her out this morning...because in middle school you don't get to get out and take pictures in front of the school. Now this is not a school rule this was Avery's rule!!!

A fun day at the water park... and the Panthers Preseason game!!!

A sweet coworker of Brian's gave us FREE tickets to Wet n Wild water park up in Greensboro... So we packed up early Sat. morning and headed to Greensboro and oh did the children have a blast!!!!

Seth loving the swing at the water park...I know that lady in the background would have really appreciated it if I would have cropped her backside out. SORRY limited time this morning: )

All "three" children going down the slide : )

Seth refused to look at the camera he was more interested in what that little boy was doing. I think Seth knew when you get to the bottom you have to get up. They are so smart!

***Are you ready for some Football??

OK tonight starts the Panthers preseason!!!!!!!! So how many of you will be wearing your panther pride and camped out by your TV tonight eating some not so healthy food??? We WILL!!
