Happy Birthday USA - Fourth of July 2010!
What a great weekend spent with family and friends! Fourth of July has to be one of my favorite holidays because it celebrates the things that all people hold dear in their lives...God, Family, and Country. To be able to celebrate the birth of our nation by over eating, fun in the sun and blowing things up...what else could you ask for? This year we were able to spend it with family members Jared, Alicia, and Aurora who were visiting from Los Angeles. While the ladies went to see the new Twilight movie, the boys started the weekend off with a trip to the Starlight Drive-in in Atlanta with all the kids in tow. We attempted a double feature of Toy Story 3 and Prince of Persia. We made it through Toy Story, but halfway through Prince, the kids were done. The little ones had a great time as it seemed that the bathroom was the feature attraction! Fourth of July Sunday was extra special as we were able to attend the blessing of our niece Reese Autry. We followed it up with BBQ at my pl...
Skinny Mini turns four today!
Wow! Our little Kyla is four today! We are excited for her and the great new things that she will be able to experience this year including pre-school in August! If you look back 4 years on this blog, you will see that we weren't even sure Kyla would make it past the first week of life. She was a sickly 3.5 lbs at her lowest weight, jaundiced, and not eating. We really thought we might lose her. But through fervent prayer and with some unorthodox feeding methods, she bounced back quickly! We knew then she was going to be a feisty, strong little girl and we have not been disappointed. She is our ray of sunshine and we love her greatly! Happy Birthday Kyla!
Ocean side dinner!
The view of the ocean at dinner was breathtaking! As it got dark I could see flashes of lightning out in the ocean...which was awesome! What wasn't so awesome were the Bahamian mosquitos eating my alive!
Presenting...the Ocean!
Wow! The Bahamas trip was way to fast and I didn't get a lot of time to "play" but I was able to satisfy my craving to get to the ocean for the time being. I had to take this picture as proof that I (me) was actually there! I took a ton of pictures, but I'm not in any of them. The downside of traveling by yourself. The upside though was no curfew and casinos!! Just kidding...
Fun day with the kids at Heroes Comic Con in Charlotte NC!
Today I took Tabitha, Adam, and Rebecka to Charlotte NC for the Heroes Con. It has been probably 8 years since I've been to a convention and really the first for the kids. They seemed to have a blast! Adam was amazed at how much merchandise was on the convention floor. He uttered the words "there is so much stuff down there I think I'm going to barf!". We stayed for the afternoon getting a few signatures and buying some comics and action figures. After that, we went to Jack in the Box....Hallelujah!! Since NC is the closest Jack in the Boxes to Atlanta in the South, it has been over two years since I have had their mouth watering tacos and Ultimate Cheeseburger! The last time I had them was up in Washington when I visited my parents. I am already anxiously awaiting Sunday afternoon lunch as I smuggled 6 tacos across two state borders...it is well worth the potential heart attack I may suffer after eating them all!
