Madelyn's First Bama Game

This past Saturday, my sister, niece, and my good college friend, Kelly, took Madelyn to her first Bama game.  I was a little scared at how she would do but she did GREAT!  I think the game being at 11:30 helped out (dont think I would dare take her to a night game).  She had a ball!  Her favorite part was the big band.  Her little eyes lit up when they came out on the field.  She asked me yesterday and today, "Mommy, maybe this weekend we can go to Bana (as she calls it) and see the Band?"

Hill Family Mountain Trip

At the end of July, my whole family went to the Mountains to my brother's in-laws lake place.  Every year we have a great time and get a lot of R and R.  The lake house is on a non-motorized lake, so it is very quiet and peaceful.
All the cousins at the top of Chimney Rock in North Carolina!
What a beautiful view!!

Summer Fun

We went to Splash Pad this morning with friends and the kids all had a ball!
Caroline, Meredith, and Madelyn lying on the concrete!  Those crazy girls!
This picture is funny to me because it looks like Madelyn is in mid air!
Brooks did not care to much for the sprinklers!

Last weekend, I went on a girls beach trip to Fort Walton.  It was a fun and relaxing trip.  It is amazing our much less you need at the beach when it is just you and not two kids.  :)

Say Cheese!
Fun times at Jump Zone!

Patrick and I went to New Orleans for three nights a couple of weeks ago.  We had fun hanging out together and walking all around the French Quarter.  Thanks so much to both grandparents for keeping our children.  Patrick's parents had Madelyn and my parents had Brooks.
Yum, Yum!  Love the beignets!!!

We went to the Pump-it-up in Montgomery with some friends while we were down their visiting.  As you can see, Brooks had fun!
Madelyn is doing the obstacle course for the first time.  I was pretty impressed she could do it.

The Fourth of July

We spent the fourth of July at the lake and had a ball.  It was great to see Andrew and Elizabeth (they had been in Africa for 6 to 8 weeks).
Madelyn loves to jump in.  This is way different than she was last year.  Wow, what a difference a year makes!
Uncle Andrew doing a cannonball!!
Aunt E and Madelyn are marching up the stairs for the 100th time after jumping!

The kids love to ride on Baba's paddleboat!
"Yummy!  I have been missing out, why have I not had ribs before," this is what Brooks was probably thinking.
