Beach Pictures...

In previous posts, I mentioned our September beach trip and the "advantage" of traveling with a photographer...I FINALLY got the beach pictures I wanted!  Again, Christy did not disappoint...love her and especially her willingness to take time out of her busy schedule or in this case fun for my family!

 

Cooper's 2nd Birthday Party...

I cannot say enough how thankful I am for my sweet, sweet friend Christy who takes pictures of my family.  She just gave me the cd of Cooper's 2nd birthday party a few days ago, and once again, she did not disappoint.  I had a hard time picking out pictures to blog...I wanted to post all of them because I LOVED each and every picture from Cooper's special day!  However, there are way too many to put on the blog so here a few from our big day in the flooding rain...for sure a party we'll never forget!

 

 

NWR Homecoming Parade...

 

Last night we went to the Northwest Rankin Homecoming Parade.  I don't have the pictures to prove it because I was keeping my eye on the kids, but it was a super fun time for everyone.  Something "new" that we will look forward to each year. 

 

And Matt says, we will aways stand by our friend Emily Wright, who teaches at the Middle School...we got a lot of candy thrown our way because all the students were loving them some Ms. Wright. 

 

Caroline, Anna Lauren, and Caroline...

Cooper was very content on Daddy's shoulders watching the action...

Our sweet friend, Thomas Cross, was Captain Hook on the Highland Bluff Elementary float...

We did attempt to take a picture of all our friends after the parade...that didn't go over so well as you can see!

Nanny's Birthday Party...



Saturday we surprised our Nanny with a birthday party at the nursing home...she will be 83 tomorrow!  She was so surprised to see all of us there, and I'm pretty sure she enjoyed feeling "special" for the afternoon...

 

Surprise Nanny!
