Happy Birthday Dad and Josh!

I feel like all I do is post about birthdays! Today is my dad's birthday and Josh's birthday!
My dad is now working second shift so I didn't get to see him, but I did give him a call during lunch! I told Brian to tell Josh happy birthday from me, I hope he got the message after church!
Happy Birthday Dad and Josh!!

Believe it or not we are still not done with the February birthdays so stay tuned...

Happy BIRTH Day!!

Welcome Baby Colin, he was born Thursday February 19th. He weighed 8lbs. 12oz. and was 20 3/4 inches. He is PERFECT!!
This is the 8th nephew/niece for Chris and I! We are now at 5 boys and 3 girls.
This picture (above) almost looks like he is smiling :)
Chris and I went to see him for the first time on Thursday afternoon and I made sure to take my camera of course! What I forgot though was the memory card!! Darn!! So I had to wait a few more days and go see him again.
All of these pictures are from Sunday afternoon, Colin has had his days and nights mixed up a little so Stephanie and Brian have been trying everything they can to keep him awake. I thought taking pictures might do the trick, but as you can see it didn't phase him a bit!
Everyone is in love with him, especially his big brother Alexander. He just doesn't know how to contain himself around Colin, it is quite funny to see. I will try to get video or pictures of it.

Congratulations Stephanie, Brian, and big brothers Josh and Alexander!

SURPRISE!!

Saturday we had a surprise birthday party for my Grandmother!

By this point it was about five after four and we were beginning to wonder where she was, she was supposed to get there at 4:00 and she is never late.
Mom was just about to get on the phone when she pulled up...
Surprise! We don't get to see our family as much as we would like, especially our family in Georgia: My Uncle Bob, Aunt Lona, and cousins Steve, Tracy, Julia and Nicholas. Uncle Bob and Julia above, Aunt Lona and Nicholas below.
We enjoyed some good food and yummy cake! Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you...The kids definitely enjoyed the cake!
Allison watching as Nicholas got in and out of the chair over and over and over again, so cute!
Jade and Ethan trying to avoid the paparazzi as always...
Father (Steve) and son.
My grandmother, my mother, and my three uncles Tim, David, and Bob.
Look at all that red hair (or what used to be red in some of the cases)!

It was great to spend time with the 30 or so family members at the party!

Happy Birthday to You!

My sister had a Birthday February 1st. She is the first of many February birthdays!
You can read about her redneck style birthday on her blog (hint: it starts with the recurrence of the lighter in the picture)!
