I know that I have not posted in about two months and there has been so many wonderful things going on in our life! This is going to be a blog about everything that we have done over the last two months!
I think I will start from Craigs vacation. On Craigs vacation we went to see his famiy in Georgia. Chris, Craig's brother, Jenifer, Chris wife, and Branham, Chris and Jenifer's baby, moved back to Georgia so the ENTIRE family had a welcome back party for them. We went to Nannie's (Craigs Grandmother) man friend's house. He has swimming pool, four wheelers, and a golf cart. We grilled out not really we grilled out but Uncle Kenneth grilled out.We just ate!!
Also, Alan and Gennie came to the cookout and then came over to Chris's house after! They have a little boy Landon that is six months younger than Noah. Alan and Gen are dear friends that we do not get to see nearly enough!!Alan and Craig are childhood friends, they are the kind of friends that never speak but when they do it is like they talk everyday! These kind of friends are hard to come by and we love them dearly!
While we were in Georgia we went to Stone Mountain to watch the laser light show. Chris and I had to drag Jenifer and Craig along but it was so much fun even in the rain!We stayed in Georgia from Friday to Tuesday, then Chris and Jen came to AL to build our deck! They stayed in Al Wednesday thru Tuesday I think.
Anyway after a week or so of Noah and Branham being together, Noah started talking more and more and saying new words. He also tries to imitate everything Branham does.
Oh and Craig bought a truck on vacation that made the ninth car we have had in four years. There is a reason this is not elaborated on!
After vacation we started getting ready for Noahs birthday! Noah was full blast all the time and I tutored and cleaning the daycare we were pretty much busy all the time.
In June and July we came into contact with Craig's real dad and his wife Marti. They have been very involved with our lives and we have decided to try to get together once a month or so. Craig enjoyed getting to see his dads family that he has not seen since he was a child.
After the weekend with the Philips side of his family it was full blast all about Noah and his party! I was everyday getting ready for family coming and the big party!
This is the tractor we got Noah for his birthday. He LOVED it.....
Construction Site double decker cookie cake! Aunt Kim made the cake and icing while Aunt Jen decorated with oreos. I ordered the cone candles and used Noahs toy tractors!
Chicken bites aka loose gravel!! Hot dogs aka falling logs!!! Cheese puff balls aka Wrecking balls. I am pretty sure Katie and Jenifer decorated the table! This party would not have been the same if it was not for them!!!
Presents Presents Presents!!!! Thank you to all who came and made his party so special!!!
Stay tuned for the next episode of The life as a Self!!!!
