We've Moved!

Due to the fact that we've exceeded our limit of Picasa photo uploads we had to create a new blog on blogspot. Please continue to follow us here and save our new address to your Favorites so that you can enjoy the antics of our everyday lives as they unfold. :)

Happy, happy faces!

Our Up and Coming Young Photographer

Here are some pictures that Lorelai took of Miller while we were in Destin. It's evident that if I'm ever out of commission as the family photographer, I certainly have a more than capable replacement.

Glamour Girls

All Smiles

Though she may not be grinning from ear-to-ear, she still looks absolutely beautiful.

A wonderful photo of the birthday mom.

What a great grin!!

Pap and Chase sharing some quality time together.

Proud Pap.

Cheerful Chase.

Perfect Pairs

Dan and his carbon copy.

Ma CJ and her handsome sons.


Lisa and me in our usual spots.

Lisa and her nephew, Andrew.

The two sweet faces that we all know and love.

Party Animals

Here are the Fab Four and the animals that they chose at Chase's Build-A-Bear party. Oddly enough, none of them chose a bear. Lorelai and Miller still drag their newest additions everywhere we go.

Chase and "Chase."

Miller and "Lucky." Miller and Chase chose the same puppy. Looks like great minds think alike.

Lorelai and "Lucy Jane Marley Lorelai."

Sierra and "Rose."

St. Mary's Newest Duck

Lorelai started St. Mary's Catholic School today. She will be in K4 this year and she is so excited about. She has to wear a uniform everyday, except on special occasions. Their mascot is a duck, hence the title of this post.

Full view of the uniform.


While she may be dressed like everyone else in her class, and everyone else in the school for that matter, make no mistake that Lorelai's personality will still come shining through.

Impersonating "The Fonz" by giving two thumbs up.


Model behavior.

Let's hope this little angel shows her face around St. Mary's every now and then.

Chase's Build-A-Bear Birthday

This year Chase celebrated his 3rd birthday at Build-A-Bear Workshop. Everyone had a wonderful time, and a bonus each child got to leave with their very own stuffed animal.

The first thing the party guests did after they chose their animals was prepare a special heart to put inside Chase's puppy.



Miller wasn't as interactive as the other kids, but he did pay close attention the whole time.

Celebrating with Bearemy

Chase is lucky enough to share a birthday with Build-A-Bear's mascot, Bearemy. He was on-site to pose for pictures and greet customers.

Chase and Lorelai couldn't wait to get their pictures made with Bearemy.


Chase's yummy cookie cake.

Nice Shootin' Tex!

One of the biggest hits at the pool in Florida were the hydro-guns. Sadly there were only two so one of the hardest parts was taking turns.

Bella getting the first few rounds off.

Perfect pinwheels.


Direct hit!

The Agitator!

Finally getting his turn.

The Piece(s) de Resistance

The personalized water bottles that my mom made for each child. Gymnastics can make you work up quite a thirst!!

The beautiful Belle cake we ordered from Gretchen's bakery in Mauldin. It was every bit as delicious as it looked.

Flips and Fun

Just like her invitation promised, she "flipped" for her 4th birthday party!

Finally enjoying all of the festivities the party had to offer.
