Brookwood Forest Boosterthon

Instead of selling wrapping paper or candy, Rodney's school does a fun run. Each child runs between 25-35 laps and gets friends and family to sponsor them per lap. Rodney ran all 35 laps, and then Popsicles for all.

Lake Life Labor Day

This past weekend Labor Day we visited Amanda and Ben on Lake Lanier. The weather was perfect and the lake the beautiful. Amanda has a pontoon boat, which the kids loved. We found a great little beach on a small island, it was perfect for swimming, grilling and watching the boat go by!

Jeff became the Grill Master

Kids loving the boat rides!

Robert and Liz came up from Atlanta and joined us for Saturday night and Sunday, Mr. Robert and Rodney were on a mission to catch a BIG fish. They never got the big one, but caught several very entertaining brim.

Lizzy loved the boat and even had a nice long nap in the shade.

All the neighborhood boys came over for cupcakes and sang to Lizzy on her actual birthday.

New Bike for Birthday

Lizzy's Tinkerbell Tea Party

The girls all played dress-up with lots of jewelery, boas and fake hair from the dollar store, we took each girls picture and she decorated a picture frame. After Tinkerbell cupcakes, the girls just ran wild! They had a great time.

Kindergarten

Rodney started Brookwood Forrest kindergarten this morning, the same school where his dad and Uncle Wade when to elementary school. In fact Uncle Wade's first grade teacher is now the principal. Rodney has a great teacher and several of his friends on in his class. He loved the first day and came home very excited about the library. He was very excited about his "tie" shoes.

Wyatt's 1st Birthday- Shark Attack!!!!

In my family it's a tradition for the mom to makes the kid's birthday cake. I made Rodney a Fire Truck, and recently bowling pins. Lizzy had Butterflies for her first. So with my nephew's first birthday Carrie and I decided to tackle sharks. The body of the shark is a Twinkie, glued to the cupcake with icing. The fin half an Oreo, then the whole thing gets dipped in icing.

Bouy's, for the sharks to swim around.

Life Preservers for saving lives.......

Lastly our completed shark, it took most of the day Saturday for Carrie, Jeremy and I make all of this. Jeremy did a great job on the gills, my hands shake to bad for small detail work.

Our own Gulf Of Mexico. Everyone love it and Wyatt enjoyed eating some of the cake and the lighthouse.
