Rain, Rain...

This is a picture of the Jackson Lake dam out near our house. All the water is a result of all the rain we have had this past weekend. Pretty amazing isn't it.

Cherry Chip Sweetness

This weekend was my 27th birthday. Aaron & I celebrated Saturday evening with dinner out and then we returned home to bake a cake and watch a movie. This May we will have been married 5 years and this is the first time we have made a cake for either one of our birthdays. We went to the grocery store and searched through all the cake and icing flavors to find one that sounded delicious. We decided on Cherry Chip with Dark Chocolate frosting. We were a little adventurous in our baking adding a few goodies to the batter, but it turned out alright. We searched through the cabinets at home to find something to decorate it with and ended up with our masterpiece pictured in the top left corner. It was yummy and we had a great time enjoying our cake and some time together. Sunday we celebrated with my family. Dad grilled steaks for lunch, and Mom made brownies for dessert. Everything was utterly delicious and my birthday was quite special. Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate. Oh, and my little man turned 10 months this weekend too!

Why I Love Her

My Moo is awesome.

I found this picture on my mom's camera and had to share it. I absolutely LOVE it. It shows her fun and carefree side that I love so much. She is one of the strongest women I know, but she is always willing to have a good laugh. Moo is such an inspiration to me for many reasons - her faith, walk with the Lord, love for family, strength, wisdom - I could seriously go on and on about how wonderful she is. So here's to Moo! Thanks for being my awesome grandmother!

I Want to Rock and Bowl All Night...

Saturday night we had dinner with our friends, Todd & Missy. They live in Atlanta, so we aren't able to get together with them too often, so it was so good seeing them. We are really excited because they are moving to McDonough so now we'll get to see them more often!! After dinner we met up with Amy, Beth & David for a little bowling. We had such a great time hanging out and catching up. Take a look at the video to see a little of our entertainment for the night!

Splish, Splash!

Happy 80th Moo!

Happy 80th Birthday Moo!

We love you so much, and are so glad to have you as a part of our lives!

Snow Baby!

Snow, snow, and more snow is what we got Sunday. It started snowing lightly while we were at church, but really started coming down while we were at Gramp & Gramma's house for lunch. Levi wasn't really sure what to think about it. When we headed home it was still coming down hard. We lost power between 5pm and 6pm, and were without it the rest of the evening. The next morning we woke up to nearly 8 inches of snow!!! I haven't seen that much snow in a long time. It was beautiful! Monday morning before Aaron headed to work we went out a played a little. Levi didn't care too much for the cold wet snow, but he loved watching Dodger (who loved it) run through it in the front yard. We had a great time playing and here are a few pictures to enjoy.

Our 8 inches!! This shot was after it had already started to melt. As I said we were at Gramps & Gramma's house when the snow started, so Aunt Lou decided to keep Levi warm in a human warmer blanket thingy...think Snuggie.

Levi's doctor appointment was cancelled due to all the snow, so we went today. He is growing so much. He is in the 75% in weight coming in at 22.1 pounds (he lost a few ounces since surgery because he hasn't been eating that well) and he is in the 95% in height measuring 30 inches long! They said everything looked great and that we was doing wonderfully!
