Our Lego Maniac

Maxwell is a bit addicted to Legos.  He loves them!  I'm sure he even dreams about them.  He has built most of the Lego Star Wars ships so he's moved on to Lego Atlantis.  He bought this one today with his birthday money.  This is the Atlantis Typhoon Turbo Sub.

Here's a brief (if you consider 8 minutes brief) video of him explaining his largest Star Wars ship.  He built this ship last month.

Excuse the quality please, this was taken with my iPhone.

Future Olympian?

Abigail loves the pool, she would float in it all day long if she had her way.  She also has a new found love of jumping into the water.  We think we may have a future Olympian on our hands, she has great form for a 2 year old and is very dramatic about the whole thing.  I think she's a perfect 10!

Preparing for her jump.

Check out that perfect form....and those sweet toes. :)

Eyes closed while she holds her breath hoping Daddy is there to catch her!

A Day on Lake Lanier

Hudson's parents were in town this weekend so we decided to head to Lake Lanier for a day of fun.  The weather was perfect and we had a great time!

Pure joy. He couldn't keep the smile off of his face!

 Abigail (with her Papoo) would have floated in the lake all day if she had her way; she loved it!

Olivia had a lot of fun swimming and tubing!

Maxwell got up on the skis the first time, I told him next year we were dumping the training skis for some big boy ones!

Sweet baby, pretending to be asleep.

Me and my waterbugs!

Daddy enjoying some much needed relaxation.

Maxwell and Nana at lunch.

Not pretending here, Abigail passed out on Nana's lap..notice the Twix bar she had a deathgrip on!

Heading to the Movies

The kids have been wanting to see "How to Train Your Dragon", it hit the dollar theater a few days ago, so they sweet-talked Papoo and Nana into taking them.  Fun!

disclaimer: The little one with the pigtails did NOT go to the movies, she's way too busy for that.

Abigail's 2nd Birthday

Our littlest one turned 2 years old on Sunday.  It's hard to believe it's already been two years since she was born.  It's been so fun to experience toddlerhood again...she keeps us busy and is never quiet but she has been a joy to us every day!

 Abigail could not take her eyes off of her cake....

and who could blame her?

She blew out both of her candles all by herself.

Abigail loved the set of play food Olivia gave her.

She also enjoyed the pool Maxwell gave her.

The kids were happy to have Ganmamma here.  Abigail calls her "mamma", she's working on the "Gan" part.

Love this.

Happy Birthday America and Our Sweet Abigail!

Happy 4th of July!
