Who Wants To See A Cute Little Boy??

This week has been a whirlwind without much time to post pictures of the little cutie. So today we thought we'd make up for it and just share a cute little picture with you that we snapped this week. We know we're biased, but he's just sooo cute! Have a great weekend, and we'll see you on Monday!

Happy Birthday!

Today is Tanner's 31st Birthday!

The Monogrammed Monkey

We interrupt this family blog for an important announcement. We're finally ready to introduce our newest venture....The Monogrammed Monkey. Many of you knew that Tanner & her mom were starting a little monogramming business, and it's finally ready! We're so excited to be able to share our fabric, monogramming, and applique obsession with others......especially since there's really nobody down here that does this!

We've been working very hard to get everything up and running, including creating our own blog, a page on Facebook, and more. Many, many thanks go to Tanner's sister-in-law Amy for all the encouragement and help. Please enjoy browsing the blog and check us out on Facebook, too!

Tuesday Travels

Yosemite National Park, California-----September 2003

After attending a trade show in Reno, NV, we had one extra day before our flight home. We decided that the best way to spend our time was to drive to Yosemite and back. Being strapped in a small car for HOURS around twisty-turvy roads made for very car-sick people. We weren't loving it at the time, but we're so glad that we got to go. We took some awesome photos, and we'd love to go back some day when we can fully explore all that the park has to offer.

Springtime Fun

This weekend the weather was in the 70s, so we took the opportunity to get out and play!

On Saturday, we headed to the 18th annual Seafood Festival in Orange Beach, which was full of people, craft booths, and tons of beautifully restored old cars. After checking out the sights, we headed to one of our favorite parks for a picnic lunch and to play on the huge playground. We spent time wandering around the fort-like park, swinging Hampton on the baby swing, and wandering down to the water, where there were several local artists painting the intracoastal canal. It was a great day, and we're sure it was the first of many more at that playground!

Dinnertime Fun

Hampton is really enjoying his high chair, especially on the dinner table! Since our table is big, we have plenty of room to sit it up on the table with us while we eat. It's fun having him with us, and he loves being able to see what's going on. He just talks and laughs and plays with whatever he can grab. It's never too early to start family meal time!

Throw Me Something, Mister!

It was too cold to go to the parades on Mardi Gras, but since Bo's office was closed for the celebrations, we decided to have fun anyway! We bundled Hampton up, ran some errands, and had a fun lunch date. When we got home, we decided to be in the party spirit, and got out some of our beads from previous parades. Hampton had a blast playing with them and looking at all the bright colors. We're hoping next year Hampton can enjoy a real parade, but we had a fun Mardi Gras anyway!
