Keep On Truckin'

Today, we went to a fun event called, "Touch a Truck Day!"  It was a busy and hot day!  Despite all of that...the kids had a wonderful time and what a great experience for them! 

Just a few of the trucks they got to climb into...

 Afterwards we had lunch and cooled down in the fountains! 

Korenna's A"Dora"ble Party!

For Korenna's 2nd birthday, we had a lovely pool party at Nana Carole's house!  The weather couldn't have been more perfect too!  We enjoyed grilled turkey dogs, turkey hamburgers and all the fixings...and of course yummy cake and ice cream!  We were so grateful that family members were able to gather, and help to celebrate Korenna's special day!  Thank you again, Nana and Uncle Tom for hosting such a lovely time!

Korenna's Dora dress that my very talented friend made!

 Sweet cousin Blake!

 Greyson & Blake...big hug!

 Korenna's Dora cake...her arm got "banged up" by big brother...it was still delicious though!

 Korenna's favorite tv characters!

 She wasn't too sure about the huge Dora balloon...

or everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to her! 

 She warmed up to the idea though, because we sang to her at least 2 more times!

 Greyson just wanted to eat cake!

 Uncle Kelly is big and scary...not to Korenna though!

 Sharing...

 The rest of the cousins...Ally, Bailey, and Camryn

 Cheese!

Dear Korenna,

Another year has flown by!  You are such a sweet daughter who steals our hearts every day!  You love to learn new words, and you have the richest vocabulary of any 2 year old!  We love to hear you sing and watch you dance. and play dress up!  You love your brother so much and it's so sweet to watch you two play together!  One of your favorite items to wear, is your sunglasses!  You have been blessed with a beautiful smile, that would make anyone happy!   We are greatful to be your parents!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Today, I'm Two-rific!

That's right! Korenna is 2, and she was well aware of it this morning whenever she woke up!  I asked her what today was and she didn't hesistate to tell me that is was her birthday!  Greyson even came running in the room and said, "Mommy, today is Sissy's birthday!"  It was such a sweet moment...

She loved wearing her tutu and happy birthday shirt!

Aunt Nisy drove all the way up from Tennessee to spend a few days with us, and to help celebrate Korenna's special day!  We enjoyed our time with her, and she certainly spoiled Grey & Renna with lots of presents! 

  A Dora baby doll!

 They were fascinated with her eyes, that opened and closed!

 Loves brushing hair...

 Putting together Korenna's new kitchen!

 Loves playing in her new kitchen!

We love you baby girl!!

Say "Cheese!"

Family picture time!  Greyson and Korenna were so excited to get their pictures taken.  Greyson said, "Mommy & Daddy pictures too?"  That's our Greyson...he's so sweet and thoughtful!  Korenna's pictures, despite the big bruise in the middle of her forehead, caused by hitting her head on a bedrail while trying to play hide & seek from me just before bedtime...turned out perfect!  We love these two little boogers, they bring us so much life and laughter!  Just a few of our favorites...

The Love Of A Family...
