Coleman, Conner and the Duck

The Hillens and we took Coleman and Conner swimming last night. Both boys had a good time with the duck, and just relaxing in the water. It was nice to wind down after a long day at work

Happy Father's Day!!!

We went to early church on the morning of Father's Day. After church, Coleman gave his daddy a golf bag so that he could play some of the courses that do not have carts. We then went to have lunch with Granddaddy in Clinton. For dinner we wished Pop a happy day at the Fryers' house. What a wonderful day to celebrate our fathers!

Fun in the Tub

Coleman has gotten too big for the baby bathtub, so we decided that it was time to put Coleman in the big bath tub. In order to make the big bath tub baby friendly, we decided to get Coleman a bath seat.

I love playing with the froggies that Adelaide gave to me!

What a Thursday!

We had an extremely busy day today. We really thought we would be packing in order to get ready for the big move tomorrow. We were really crushed when we were told today that our buyer's loan package was not ready. I have been on the cell phone so much lately, that Coleman decided he wanted to learn to use it! :)

Memorial Day Celebration

We went to Ivor's and Tracey's for a Memorial Day celebration. We ate lots of good food, and David and Coleman went for a swim. Coleman loved being in the water, dispite the fact it was freezing cold!

Happy Birthday Breelan!

David, Coleman and I went to Breelan's 1st birthday party. The party was at the lake, and it was also a pool party. Coleman had a lot of fun with all of the kids. Happy 1st Birthday Breelan!

Chattanooga...

I went to Chattanooga this week to attend training at the Komatsu location there. My mother-in-law, Sara, and Coleman went with me. Sara and Coleman enjoyed todays looking at all of the fish in the Tennessee Aquarium (luckily our hotel was right next door.) Sara said that Coleman's favorite attraction was the penguins! One night, we joined some of my co-workers, at the Station which was part of the Chattanooga Choo Choo. The waiters and waitresses got on stage and sang with a band inbetween waiting tables. It was really neat!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I had the best Mother's Day ever! Coleman slept until 8:45 a.m., which he has never done before. I have not slept that late for a long time. We then went to the 11:00 a.m. church service (well we were actually the nursery workers). Lunch with wonderful with the Davis family and David's family at the Capital City Club. Coleman gave me a candle jar that he made at school, a card, and daddy's credit card for clothes shopping.

Three Generations of Mothers

All of the children brought dinner to my parents' house today in celebration of Mother's Day. We had a great time seeing everyone, and Coleman had a blast playing with his great-grandmother, grandparents, aunt and uncles.

Lions, Tigers and Bears Oh My!

The Swann family and the Burrell family met us for lunch and a visit to the zoo today. We started off by eating lunch at Fuddruckers. We then went to the zoo. The weather was perfect; therefore, the zoo was extremely crowded. It was so nice to get all of these boys together. It was so amazing how much they had grown. Our favorite part was the carousel ride. After the zoo, we stopped by the Rosewood Crawfish Festival. We were extremely pooped by the end of the day. Mommy needed a nap worse than anyone.

Yummy Yummy for My Tummy

Due to the fact that Wednesday is Coleman's six month birthday, we decided to try him on rice cereal mixed with breast milk. He ate a little bit, but I think it is going to take some practice for him.

Coleman is anxiously awaiting his rice cereal

Coleman is not sure about this!

Weekend in Atlanta

I had to go to a class in Cartersville, Georgia (north of Atlanta), so David and Coleman joined me. We spent last night in Buford, Georgia at Jonathan's and Temple's house. We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Today we went to the North Georgia Outlets to finds some good deals! Coleman had fun hanging out with his Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Temple.

Lunch at Chuck E. Cheese

Coleman and I met Miranda, Breelan, Ashley, and Neesa at Chuck E. Cheese for lunch. Coleman enjoyed the music and the lights, but he was not quite ready for the cooll toys. All of the girls were following lunch with Disney's Princess on Ice at the Colonial Center. We had fun hanging with the girls!

Happy 1st Birthday Eason!

Coleman and I went to Eason's first birthday party this afternoon. Thank goodness the rain had stopped. Her theme was pink bugs, and her mom, Barbra, made the cutest cake for her...it looked professionally made! We had a great time hanging out with everyone. We are really enjoying the bubbles that Eason gave to us as a party favor. Thanks for including us in your special day. Happy Birthday Eason!

Eason has figured out that cake can be quite messy!

Happy 2nd Birthday Adelaide!

Coleman and I attended Adelaide's 2nd birthday party today. The theme was clowns, and Coleman had a great time watching the clown do magic tricks and make neat balloon animals. We had a great time. Thanks for inviting us Adelaide. Happy Birthday!

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

Coleman has been rolling up on his side for well over a month. I keep waiting for him to just roll over. We practiced today, and he did not roll from back to tummy, but he did roll from tummy to back. He even grins when we clap for him. I think he loves the audience!

Here I go!!!

Happy Easter

We went to the early service at church, so that we could go eat brunch with David's family and the Davis family at the Capital City Club.

We then drove to the upstate to see my family. My family had a blast hanging out with Coleman...they wish they could see him more often!

We ended the day by looking to see what the Easter Bunny brought Coleman. He got a lot of great toys!

The Easter Egg Hunt

While getting ready for the Easter egg hunt, Coleman found his feet. This was a huge milestone for mommy! We then went to the church's annual Easter egg hunt. Coleman was a little to young to hunt Easter eggs, but we went so that he could get a taste of all of the children running through the playgrounds.

After the Easter egg hunt, I took Coleman for pictures with live Easter bunnies. He actually kissed one of them, and he did not even know it!

The highlight of the day was taking a picture of Coleman in his Easter basket!

Good Friday

We spent half of the day keeping Conner. Conner and Coleman had a blast playing together. The other half of the day was spent running errands, and going to our Sunday School dinner at the Timmons' house.

Mark's Birthday

David, Coleman and I went over to Mark's and Michelle's for lasagna in order to celebrate Mark's bithday. We ate way too much!

Happy Birthday Mark!
