For a short while now, we have enjoyed much milder temperatures - 85 degrees in the day and around 60-65 at night - that is quite cool here in Alabama!!!! I actually saw a man wearing a sweatshirt while running early this morning - it was 67 degrees!!!!! In my opinion, he totally ruined the whole "cool" experience by putting on that sweatshirt - why not enjoy it?????
Anyhow, we have been living it up - outside every chance we get - we ate breakfast on our porch this weekend, despite the children whining that they needed a blanket!!!!! Seriously, it only gets this cool in July like once every 10 years - ENJOY IT!!!!!
Saturday night we had a last minute get together at our house and grilled steaks and shrimp. There were 11 children - all 8 and under - so needless to say there was a lot of action!
Wilson and Sarah Davis are a funny little two-some - they have something magical between them that started when she was about 6 months old (he would have been 18 months) - only time will tell where God will take them!!!!
Whoa Wilson, slow down there son!
Then the party moved outside. The children had fun playing in our "Rain Forest" - you didn't know we had a Rain Forest in our backyard? Well, the back of our lot is covered in Bamboo - it used to be alot thicker, but Will has gradually cut it back over the last year - it grows like Wildfire though, so it'll be back in no time if the children didn't continually "knock" it down!!!
They had big plans to pile it all up for a bonfire - Emma Claire even went as far as draggin her little chair up the hill to sit and roast her marshmallows - the fire never happened though.
What did happen was a lot of hard team work and fun!
A little hill-rolling!
Somehow Henderson got left inside, to gaze longingly at all the fun going on in the yard!
These 2 think it's hilarious to relieve themselves by the bushes!!!!
and apparently compare and laugh!!!!!
The next day, Wilson helped his daddy clean up the "pile"!
Then we headed to the grandparent's house to celebrate Patton's 5th Birthday - which is TODAY!!!!

Henderson LOVES the trampoline!!!!
He's climbing all over the place - on EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Check out this picture - 3 out of the 5 are in the air - do you see Wilson????? It's like from a scary movie where they do "light as a feather, stiff as a board?" Do you remember that as a child? Well, Wilson is floating in the air!!!!
The Batman cake was a hit!
Emma Claire got her creative juices flowing with this card!
Happy Birthday Patton!
