Happy Birthday Little "O"

Owen's birthday was actually Wednesday (20th), but we celebrated today. I was so pleased that my family from Jackson, Birmingham, and Philadelphia were able to come. Thankfully the rain held out and the kids were able to play outside. We had a great time and Owen got lots of sweet gifts. I decided to be brave and attempt to make the birthday cake myself (I actually made cupcakes). Since, I was going with the Baby Einstein theme, I made the cupcakes in the shape of a caterpillar. I think it turned out cute. The best part is the money I saved. I spent only $1.88 for two boxes of cake mix. Of course, I had the cost of the candy that decorated the caterpillar, but in all I probably have around $7.00 in the cupcakes. LOVE IT!!


I can't believe that my little baby is already one. It honestly seems like yesterday when I was in the hospital waiting to meet our little O. I can remember holding him and how small he seemed. I loved his sweet baby smell and the sweet little baby sounds he made. What a blessing he has been in our lives. He was definitely worth the wait. Thank you God for our baby boy.

The Beach

We returned last night around 12:30 from the beach. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful. We decided to drive at night so the children could sleep on the way there and the way back. Five plus hours in the car with a 1 year old makes for a long trip, so driving while they slept worked out great. Michael and Matthew had a great time playing in the water, jumping waves, and digging in the sand. Owen and I hung out under the canopy in the shade most of the time. Enjoy the pictures.
