AJ's Spring Carnival

AJ's Spring Carnival was fun - Trisha surprised us and came along to play! Our little tiger!

The big winner of the day was the air castle - we couldn't keep AJ out of it

As you may know the Boatwrights can not pass up hoola hoops!

Balloon Lift Off

April 27, 2007

AJ had a balloon lift off at his school - Gateway Academy - this afternoon.

A few balloons got away early
AJ and Jaylen - who is as smiley and sweet as AJ!
Michael! Always runs to the say hello when you walk in the class room!
Griffin and Griffin's mom - I think that is how we are all known!
Carly - who right now is "My Carly" to AJ!

First smiles!

Jack is getting strong!
Whoah - looks like that wore him out or he's going to be the class clown!
Yeah - smiles !
and more! They make all the late nights worth it and melt your heart!
Big brother AJ helps keep him safe and Jack never takes his eyes off of him!

Jack's Baptism

We headed to Atlantic Beach Florida to visit my grandparents, Jack and Dorothy Miller and to have Jack baptized. On Sunday April 15 my Granddad performed the service at their church in Fleet Landing. Jack's Godparents are Gregg and Michelle Jones and Trisha and Shane Williams. Trish and Shane were there in spirit taking the vows with us. Mom, Mick, Delores, Kate, Gwen and Zachary also came.
It was so special to see my Granddad baptizing both of our sons - and Grandmom and mom read in the service too.
Unfortunately AJ was not feeling too well and cuddled up with Jack's blanket for most of the service.
Isn't she beautiful!! This is my Grandmom - can you believe she celebrated her 90th birthday on April 22!! We had a nice lunch with some of Gram and Gramps friends on Sunday - they were going to celebrate the following Tuesday with three friends who share birthdays around the same time.
Jack and Little Jack - G & G could hold these babies forever! I love watching their love for the boys!

Payton and Alfie

Payton Black and Alfie Hobbs were married April 6, 2007 in the Duke Gardens. Alan and I had fun cathcing up with Payton and her sisters and mom and Eric (Hilde) and meeting Payton's new family. It has been way too long - Payton was my best friend in high school.
Congratulations!!

Kate and Zachary Come

Yea! Kate and Zach came down for a few days! It was great - and AJ loved having friends at his table (Mom, Mick and Ryan built the red picnic table for AJ!)

It was fun seeing AJ and Zach playing together - and I think AJ liked having a little friend around that could actually move and interact!

Myrtle Beach

Gregg and Michelle got married in Garden City the last weekend in March. It was a beautiful wedding and a great weekend. Unfortunately we forgot our camera on Saturday so we will have to wait until they get their wedding pictures in to post those.

Alan went out with everyone Friday night and was so excited because he thought he took so many pictures ... he took three and they were all of Gregg in his big blue glasses!

We spent the Saturday morning on the beach making sand castles and crashing them - which was by far more fun!

Jack's first time on the beach and didn't open his eyes once to see it --
AJ loved playing with the kite even though Alan and I couldn't get it to stay up high - it fluttered along about three feet off the ground - I think AJ liked making us run back and forth trying to get the kite up as much as he did playing with the tail. I love this kite - Mandie and Aurora gave it to AJ for his bday last year - it is great!

In Gregg's honor we headed out for a round of golf before leaving on Sunday - doesn't he alerady look like a pro!
