Abby Has a Birthday

Bella Turns One!

Bella turned one June 10, 2011.    We had her a little birthday party.  She didn't care too much for her hat. 

Bodhi decided he would attend, too :-).  

I love my baby so much!

She is so affectionate and sweet.  

Bella and Bodhi love their Daddy.  He is definitely number one in their eyes!

Bella blowing her candles out.  They couldn't wait for cake.  

Bodhi's had enough of this party...

Alex Turns 10

Alex wanted a Harry Potter birthday party.  Publix did a good job on his cake.

I think Abby thinks the party is for her.   Doesn't she look like Shirley Temple Jr.?

Alex looks so much like my Daddy to me even in his mannerisms.

Alex and his paternal grandmother.

Alex and my Daddy and his Papa.

I think Abby just realized the party wasn't for her :-). 

I love these candles my sister found for the cake.  They were really cool.

Wow, what a cutie.

Alex thinking of his wish. 

Blowing out the candles. 

Opening his presents.  He got all cash and he was so happy.  He couldn't wait to buy lots of stuff.

Reading his cards.

Abby got a present too.  I guess it was her birthday, too, after all. 

Alex's Nanny and my Mama.  I was shocked that she actually ate a piece of pizza.  She never eats anything that isn't good for you normally. 

The cake was a marble cake and it was just delicious.  

I looked over and Abby was grooming her new doll.  I thought it was so cute. 

Wow, he's so grown up now.  I still remember the day he entered this world.  He was beautiful that day and he's still one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen today.  

Alex and his paternal grandfather. 

This picture didn't turn out great but I was glad to have one of us together.  What a smile. 

Alex and Rob.  I love both of their smiles.  

Our First Waffles with My Birthday Present

My wonderful angels here on earth, Holly and Peggy Sue, gave me a waffle maker for my birthday.  This was our first use.  The waffles were sooooo delicious.   They were definitely a hit with not only myself but Rob and Bodhi, too.

Rob Celebrates a Great Birthday

I made reservations for a surprise birthday lunch at the Springhouse Restaurant.  

Rob was happy to be at this beautiful place and so was I. 

We sat upstairs and this was the view from up above.  

I was so thankful to spend Rob's special day with him. 

What Rob ordered. 

What I ordered.  It was the best hamburger I think I've ever had.  

Rob loves this little thing with salt and pepper in it.  

The view from outside.  It is so pretty.  

We stopped at the lake on the way back from lunch and Rob took little Bodhi for a walk.  

Time for presents.... :-)

 A new coat for the cold winter. 

Bodhi helping to watch over Rob's gifts.

A new sweater.  I love blue on Rob.  

A new Amazon Kindle.  This is what Rob had asked for.  I hope he really enjoys it!

Rob requested an ice cream birthday cake.  It was a big hit but it was way toooooo messy.  

Bodhi thinking, "Can you help a doggie out?"
