a month or so in a LOT pictures and few words

I am so far behind on blogging at this point, that I could not even begin to go into the normal detail of my posts. This may be the BIGGEST catch up blog ever! Have fun looking at all the pictures!

Our niece Addie had quite a few "end of the year" activities that we attended. Here is a photo after her play. She was a raccoon on Noah's Ark. Anna Kate was not quite sure about her cousin's transformation. :)

We have had really busy schedules this month! This is on the way home from daddy's late softball game.

Addie's K-4 graduation! Isn't she pretty? Her headband was courtesy of Sweet Chocolate Swirls!

After Addie graduation we went to Heritage Park to play!

Liam almost walking!

Happy birthday "Jacks"! We celebrated little Jackson's 1st birthday on June 6th. The party was perfectly planned and went off without a hitch! Anna Kate loves her little friend "Jacks."

little Molly

We've been attempting pigtails every once in a while! It is still a bit of a stretch, but cute!

To this day, Anna Kate talks about Jackson being a "mess" at his "birtday."

AK and Ada cooling off with ice!

The next weekend my mom's very best friend from childhood came to visit. Mom and dad booked their other friends' AMAZING cabin/property in Soddy Daisy. Chris, Anna Kate, and I spent Friday evening there and had a blast riding in the golf cart, catching "light bugs", and cooking s'mores.

a series of "light bug" pictures (the lighting was terrible, therefore the quality of the pics not so great) If you look carefully, sometimes you can see the fireflies. She LOVE this! Dad got a video that I hope to be posting soon.

The next morning, Anna Kate and I completed our first 5-K! Don't be too impressed... we walked! We had a fun with our friends! Ashley, Jackson, Jessica, Reed, and Molly walked along with us!

The next day, Jessica invited us to spend the evening with them on the lake at her parent's house. We had a great time! What a beautiful place!

AK and mommy going for a swim. :)

This picture is for all the women in my family freaking out about right now that I had my daughter in/near a lake. The kiddos were well restrained in very safe, toddler approved life jackets and had very cautious mommies and daddies by their side every second.

Daddy brought his fishing pole! :)

The gang.

so funny! Jessica caught this happy little funny face.

Happy #1 to Liam! Time flies and I can't believe my little nephew is one! I have enjoyed watching him grow so much! He is so fun to be around and always makes me laugh!

playing with his "rocket" from Ya Ya and Granddad

it was Aunt Brooke's birthday too! I love the look on her kids' faces in this one.

Last Friday I kept Addie and Liam for the day! We had a blast at the Creative Discovery Museum! AK adores her cousins!

playing at the Curious George exhibit

she always wants to hug and kiss this George

We found the "real" George! Anna Kate and Liam were scared of him, but Addie wanted a picture with him!

Ashley and Jackson met us for lunch and then we went back to the museum for more play time! Liam and Jackson are about two weeks apart in age. They had fun playing together!

Another birthday??? Yep... this weekend we celebrated Addie's birthday (which is really not until July 4th). Fun for all at a gymnastic center here in town. Addie and her friends and family definitely burnt off some energy jumping and running around!
