NYC

I had the opportunity to go to New York with one of my teachers, Angel Stevens, for a dance convention a few weeks ago. We had a wonderful time. We stayed right next to Grand Central Station and also right next to the steam explosion that happened a few days before we got there. Needless to say it did not hamper our trip. It was Angels first time in the city so we walked everywhere and tried to experience everything. See the picture of her first experience with street vendor food. It was excellent!!! I have more pictures but they all seem to be of police cars, fire engines and ambulances for my three year old. Funny what seems important when you have kids.

Happy 4th!!!

Please note that Jackson, now called Jack, is riding the Auburn tiger not a mere tiger . . . The brainwashing starts early in the South!

Mmmmm, Dreamland

Our kids first experience with dreamland was interesting. I think Mommy and Daddy like it better than the kids, but they were good sports about it until Harper found her paci.

"I can eat the water . . ."

So my children are so smart that they think it is ok to drink the water out of any faucet, hole in the ground, or fountain . . . .

Nice Harper!

My first halter

So, I am taking the lead from my cousin and her daughter, but I couldn't resist. Harper looked so cute in her new red, white and blue halter dress. As you can see Mom was trying to look as cute. . . didn't really work.

On the fourth we took the kids to the Zoo right when it opened for some good Team Avery time! She was so much fun!

I Love America . . . .

OK, so "I Love America" day in Vestavia was a hit. Jackson was all consummed with the moon bounce and slide. After much trepidation he willingly stood in line, climbed up (by himself) and slid down; enjoying every minute of it and the rest of the night. He was so proud as were his parents on his "big boy, I'm going all by myself!!!" attitude. We barely got out at 8:45pm before the movie Cars started. I wonder if he will like fireworks?
