HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!We went to Charlotte to my cousin Abbie's house for Alex's 1st birthday! It was a great time - Stephan made BBQ, we relaxed and the all the boys played!
A happy mama with her birthday boy!

Jack made himself at home with Alex's toys!
Time to test out some presents!

Chase and AJ loved this ball toy - and one of the few pics of Martha - she is always behind the camera!
The Boatwrights!
All the boys ! Jamie and Stephan had a big task to hold all those wigglers and try to get keep them happy!
I like this one ..in a few years they will be planning some mischief!! Ready for bed - Alex already turned in and we had to head back to Columbia - what a fun day!

Saturday with Katie and Zach

Zachary and AJ were up and ready to go Saturday morning! Zachary popped up from the pack and play and couldn't wait to get moving!Katie and Zachary!Jack is crawling!! He is everywhere...always trying to find AJ! Next it was off to AJ's soccer game. Who says you can't have it all...AJ's got the game....(actually this is probably one of five times he touched the ball this Saturday)

the girl..(this is Ashlynne)
the game and the girl!..

And the godfather who picks him up after he face plants in the muddy victory tunnel while his mom screams to Kate, "Get the camera!" Good thing Scott came to this one! AJ's mouth and nose were full of mud!

Aunt Katie Comes!!!

After a long long day at the Philadelphia Airport (Kate - who is 8 months pregnant - weathered 9 hours at the Airport with my nephew Zachary - wow!) Kate and Zachary finally made it !

AJ thought it best to take them to the Thomas Store...

While there we found out I passed the Bar Exam! So we headed out to Wild Child (Wild Wings) for a celebration...
Notice the lone beer...AJ and Zachary had other plans for celebrating...
A plate size brownie (thanks waitress!! just what was needed at 7p!!) And dont' think that Zachary needed any help! He had two forks most of the time!
Mmmmmmmmmmm the brownie coma begins!

November 2007

I am a few months behind so these are some of my favorite pics from November. We were in Pennsylvania the weekend before Thanksgiving and packed in a lot in a little bit of time. Firday at Kate and Gwen's, Saturday to Mamma Mia, Sunday at Mom and Micks, and Sunday buidling snowmen with Meg and Thad - whew!!

Bath Time!!

Jack loves to take baths! He splashes around like crazy and kicks his legs.
This reminds me of one of my and Mandie's favorites of AJ!
AJ keeps us entertained by playing hide and go seek, singing, laughing, splashing Jack...you name it!
AJ is allowed in after Jack has a few minutes to himself - before he starts getting knocked over and pushed out of the way!
What is it about bath pics that are so adorable??!!

The State Fair

We picked AJ up from school on opening day of the Fair. It is the best time to go (believe me we went the following Sunday and had the opposite experience!) We parked right in the Fairgrounds & no wait for the rides!

AJ was ready...we started off with the carousel and the train but then graduated to this roller coaster and later the catepillar coaster with mom. He had a blast and kept his hands up the whole time - he had no idea why I told him too but laughed like crazy!
Jack hung in there and let us play and eat .. he definetly had some corn dog envy..this boy is tired of purees!

Welcome Baby Duncan!

Congratulations Karen and Duncan - baby Duncan is so beatuiful! Happy Birthday lil man - we will meet you soon!!
