Happy Birthday, Maw-Maw!

We are looking forward to celebrating with you on Thursday, but we hope you have a great birthday today! We love you!

Ryan is 6!!!

I cannot believe you are six years old already! Boy has time flown by since I first held you in my arms...you were so, so tiny! You are such a sweet boy. We love you, Ryan and hope you have a great day!

Get off the roads!!

Our beautiful niece, Kayla, is 16 years old today! Yikes! How could she possibly be 16 already? Where does the time go?
We hope you have the greatest 16th birthday ever, Kayla! We love you!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday to the best mom in the world...MINE!!! You are always so supportive of everything I do and dream. Thank you for always being there. We hope you have a great birthday!! It was fun celebrating with you last night. We love you!

A Birthday Dinner Celebration

Today we went to Dave and Lori's house to celebrate Dave's birthday with a yummy lasagna dinner (well WE all had lasagna and the birthday boy had prime rib...either way, who loses? Yum! :-)). We had a large crowd (large enough that we are outgrowing the kitchen table!), which meant lots of noise, but lots of fun. Even David's Aunt Karen and Uncle Brian joined us and it is always great to see them. After dinner there was some drawing and Wii playing and wedding planning and all sorts of good stuff. It was a nice evening. I hope you had a great birthday, Dave! So glad we could be a part of the celebration. We love you!

Cutest 1 Year Old in Town!

In addition to Christmas, we have something else to celebrate around these parts...today is our nephew and Godson, Dylan's, 1st birthday!! I cannot believe a year has gone by already. Seems like just yesterday that my mom called to say Laura's water broke early Christmas morning and she was in labor (Dylan wasn't due to arrive for another month). Dylan is an absolute joy to be around and one of the cutest kids I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I am so proud to be his aunt and Godmomma. Happy Birthday D! We love you and look forward to celebrating with you tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Girl!

Today is my sister-in-law's birthday and I hope Brian spoils her rotten today, because she deserves it! Happy Birthday, Julie! We love ya!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Today is my papa's birthday! He is on a boys only trip through the Bourbon distilleries of Kentucky and Tennessee, so although I am sure he would love to see us all on his birthday, he's probably having an OK time without us, right? :-)

Hope you have a great time on your trip, Dad and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We love you and can't wait to celebrate with you when you get back!

It's Paw-Paw's Birthday!

Today is David's step-dad's birthday and although we already had fun celebrating with him Saturday, we hope today is a special day for him! We love you, Dan! Happy Birthday!!!

Somebody's 30 Today and Her Name is TONYA!!!

HAPPY 30th Birthday Tonya!

Some pictures of our evening out...

Hope you had a great birthday, Tonya! We love you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!!!

My baby sister turns 26 today! (I feel old) Happy Birthday, Ashley! We love you so much and we CANNOT wait until you are home with us!

Happy Birthday Alyssa!!!

Our niece Alyssa is celebrating a birthday today...4 years old!!! So sorry we won't be at your birthday party, Sis, but we will have a present waiting for you when we get back from vacation! We love you!!! Happy Birthday!

Jilly is 1 Today!!

Jillian turns one today and we are so excited! I can't believe how fast this year went by. It seems like just yesterday that Julie and I were pregnant (and miserable :-)) together and now we have two adorable and amazing one year olds!
Happy Birthday, Jilly! We have so enjoyed watching you grow this year and we are excited for your birthday party today. We love you!!

A Butterfly Birthday Party

Today we had Ally's first birthday party and oh what fun we had! She was surrounded by tons of loved ones and we so appreciate everyone helping us celebrate this special day with our baby.

We had the party at our house and enjoyed GREAT weather and lots of yummy food and fun. Ally did a great job eating her butterfly cake and was not shy about it all (we weren't shocked by this, 'cause the girl loves to eat!). Mommy ended up doing most of the gift unwrapping, while Ally played with all of her new toys. :-)

Thanks to all of our wonderful family and friends who came over for Ally's party and for being so generous to our little girl. You all helped make this day wonderful for us and we appreciate all of your love and support, especially over this past year with our Allyson.

Mass quantities of pictures coming your way... :-)
