Cars, Copy-Cats, and Cupcakes!

Oh, and COUSINS!!!  We went to Decatur for a couple of days this week.  We went to see Cars 2 and Maury and Carter had a big time playing with Char.  Maury did and said everything Char did and said.  When asked what she wanted for lunch Maury would reply "whatever Char's is having!"  Maury got to stay an extra night with the Jackson's, I'm afraid she will have on a Justin Beiber t-shirt when she returns today!  She loves her big girl cousins and wants to be just like them!  Carter has been missing Maury today so I took him to Gigi's cupcakes for a special treat.  He was in heaven, that boy LOVES cupcakes!!!

James' Pool Party

Maury got shot down!

James invited friends over to his grandmother's pool on Tuesday!  The kids did a lot of swimming and a lot of running!  Maury and Carter were exhausted and slept most of the afternoon!

Bowling With VCC

The past few years we've gone to Alabama Adventure for Vestavia Country Club's company picnic  but this year they rented out Vestavia Bowl!  Maury and Carter were thrilled!  They cheered with each pin they knocked down and loved the arcade with free play on the games!  Caroline slept the whole time we were there and missed all of the fun!

Swimming Lessons

Maury had her swimming lessons at Shades Cliff last week!  She learned how to swim better with big arms and strong kicks and she learned the jellyfish float, the dead man float, and the back float.  She is a little more confident in her swimming skills now and she loved her teacher Mrs. Caroline!

10 Weeks and STILL Growing!

Caroline was 10 weeks old yesterday and seems to be putting on the pounds at a rapid rate!  I'm thinking she needs to move out of the sink and into the bath tub!!!

She's is a very happy baby (excluding the evening hours) and is beginning to love playing in her crib and under her play gym!

Caroline's First Sunday

Last Sunday was Caroline's first time to Sunday School!  We made it there in one piece and only 10 minutes late (Daddy was working) and she was a sweet girl!!!  I did not do a great job of taking pictures, only took one of her and evidently had my finger over the flash!

Keeping Cool

I couldn't keep these 2 out of the cheese balls!

We've been stuck inside a lot the past few weeks with the weather being too hot for Caroline (all of us really)!  We've been to the gym, the library, and Chick-fil-a a few times.  But last weekend we got to go to James' birthday party where there was lots of water to keep the big kids cool and we found a perfect spot by the fans for baby C!

Caroline is 2 Months Old!

7-5-11

11 lbs, 2 oz

Caroline was 2 months old Tuesday and had her check-up on Wednesday.  Mimi and Nana came for a visit and kept big brother and sister while we were at the doctor.  She was 11 lbs, 2 oz and 23 in.  Caroline is such a sweet baby.  She smiles all the time now and even laughed out loud this morning!  She coos, she loves to look around, loves lights and loves to be outside.  She is a pretty good sleeper and really likes her bottles (as you can tell with her 2 lbs gain since we started supplementing 2 weeks ago)!  So thankful for another healthy and happy baby!!!

He said he was Aqua-Man!

Sitting on Uncle Lee's trailer of fireworks pre-show

We took a road trip to Brandon for the holiday weekend.  This was Caroline's very first visit to Mississippi and to Migi and Papa C's!  We had a great time swimming, playing in the yard, and watching Uncle Lee's amazing fireworks show!  I have never seen a show quite so grand, it was even bigger than the ones we watched at Disney!  Carter is still not a fan of fireworks but Maury liked them.  Caroline was asleep in cousin Tre's crib and somehow didn't hear a thing!  The other highlight of the weekend was watching Carter learn (teach himself) how to swim.  I guess he has just learned from watching Maury, I can't believe we have two little swimmers now!  I guess they'll be teaching Caroline in a few years.  We had a wonderful weekend spending time with family and celebrating America!
