Birthday Celebration Cookout

Last night we had some friends over to cookout. Owen Weber turned ONE on Wednesday so we wanted to have a mini birthday celebration for him:)! We also discovered that Carter Jones had a birthday last week, so Owen's momma made sure to add his name to the birthday cake too;)!!!

The Birthday Boy! I can't believe he is 1 year old already!

The big boys.....

Cyler Spencer.....

Cole.....

Miss Ellie. She was the only girl, but she knows how to hold her own:)!

Owen and his momma.....

The guys grilling our burgers and brats.....

Ellie on the Razorback Rocking Horse.....

The guys were playing football and the ball went over the fence, so Matthew volunteered to climb over and get it. He gave us a quick pose on his way back over;).....

Our neighbors probably think we are crazy!!!

Cole loves his new pool! We're high class;).....

Owen and Lucy, both trying to get the same ball:).....

Cole is so stinking skinny that his trunks won't stay up:(! They are 2T, which is what he wears in other shorts, and I rolled them at the waist, but they kept falling down. We eventually gave up and just took them off;).....

He is going to be walking any day now!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Cy was so excited!!! He pulled his chair up as close as it could possibly get to the table!

Both Birthday boys blowing out the candles....

The kids couldn't wait to get their hands in the icing;)....

I promise that is not the kiddos wine;).....

Cole only ate the icing off of his piece.....

Owen getting a taste.....

Back to the pool.....

Cy loved the slide.....

Ellie and her momma.....

Filthy face;).....

We had so much fun! We missed those of you that couldn't make it! We'll have to get together again really soon:)!

Destin 2010

We went to Destin last week with my family. It was the best vacation ever! Cole was perfect on the LONG car ride there and back, the weather was awesome, there was NO OIL, the place we stayed was great, and everyone got along;)!!! All in all a VERY relaxing, much needed vacation!


Cole, excited to be going to the beach.....

Our first night there.....

LOVING some watermelon;).....

We went to The Track to ride go-carts. I thought Cole would be to small to ride, so we mainly went to watch my nephews, however, when we got there we found out that you only have to be 3 feet tall, so Cole got to ride with Patrick:)!!!

SO tired from is morning at the beach/pool that he fell asleep eating his lunch;).....
