Happy 8th Birthday to our little buddy...

Lets take a trip down memory lane...but unfortunatly I did not start putting my pictures on the computer until Colin was 3 so that is where we will start...

Look how white his hair is...

Always a mommas boy...and I love it! :)

This was at Justin and Fran's wedding rehersal...

Christmas 2003...look at that cute baby face!! Where have the years gone??

Only Colin would think to sit in a bucket...

Always a Vols Fan!!!

I just love this picture...

I am thinking 100% Car Salesman...what do you think???

His 6th Birthday...

I wonder if he will always like to dig holes??

Notice his "woobie" on his head...I am quite certain that we still have one hiding out in his bed :)

Colin's 7th Birthday...

Happy 2nd Birthday Jake and Jack...

I remember how excited Colin was when he found out that they were born on the same day as him...but I also remember one of the first things he said was "they are not going to cry on my birthday are they". We have loved playing with Jake and Jack and we look foward to many more years of fun times!:) Happy Birthday to 3 great boys!

Colin's Birthday Party...

Colin had so much fun at his birthday party! He loves to run and play with all of his friends. I can't believe he is turning 8...wow how fast the years pass! GO Cubs! Oh and yes they spelled his name wrong on his cake but I did not realize it until we had already left...no big deal! :)

Mammaw got Colin Orange and white checkerboard Speedos...they are so cute on his little bottom :)

Thanks Meme for the Wii game and wheels!!! As you can tell he is very excited about it!

Thanks Justin, Fran, Jake, and Jack for the water gun that sprays color...I think??? :)

Is it really who we think it is????

Yes it is Bruce Pearl, (for those of you who may not know...he is Tennessee's Head Basketball Coach) at our swim meet. Unfortunately he is not rooting for our team...one of his kids swims for the other team. It was so much fun to watch all the kids running to him for autographs and from what I could tell he signed every one of them! Our team beat Knoxville Racquet Club by about 40 points. We are now 3-0!!! Go SAC!!



This is my job at the swim meet...Heat Card Turner...I turn the cards after every race. I feel like Vanna White! :) Jason was giving Kennedy a pat on the back after a good swim!



Bruce Pearl signing Colins cap...while it is still on his head! :)



Do you think he is excited???



...and her too???

I love this picture...Kennedy put her cap on Benjamin's head...of course if she thinks it is funny he does too!!! :) TOO CUTE!!!

Thanks to Whitney Pickel Photograpy for the pictures...I could use you more often :)

Our trip to the Zoo...

We had so much fun at the zoo yesterday...my favorite part was this sweet little camel. Colin and I kept buying food to feed it, Kennedy touched it but would not feed it.

We love swimming!!!

These are a few pictures of the kids at their first swim meet this summer! We have had so much fun swimming. It is a great event for the whole family...all of the kids on the swim team are so encouraging to each other...even if they are swimming against each other! So far we have won both meets...


This picture is a little fuzzy of Colin...but still good!


Kennedy loves swimming...she is not missing dance at all!

Kennedy and Chandler...aren't they cute!

Colin and Samuel, great buddies! This was at our second swim meet at UT!

Guess who has contacts...

I took Kennedy to the eye doctor this week and he said that she could have contacts...she was so excited! She had to practice putting them in and taking them out...they said she did better then most adults!!!

Schools Out DJ Party....

We had so much fun at the DJ party...Courtney was able to go with us...which the kids loved, especially Kennedy since Courtney taught her one of the line dances. It was a fun night just to welcome summer!!! Colin even had fun dancing :)
