Ring Bearer...

About a year ago, our friends Brandon and Brittany asked Grady to be the ringbearer for their July wedding. Grady was in my brother's wedding last October and I thought for sure his tux would still fit. ha! I was wrong. I ordered him a 3T and it came in with plenty of time to spare!

Here he is trying it on:

The wedding was this past Saturday at 3:00.

Here he is with the groom, Brandon:

He LOVED getting his picture made.

Brittany and Grady

He had more fun playing on the steps!

He did great walking down the aisle. We had him walk over to an exit door to meet Asten so he wouldn't have to stand still throughout the ceremony.

I didn't get a picture of him walking down because I was so nervous he would back out and make a scene. I'll order the professional ones.

At the reception he had a good time running around and stealing cheese cubes off the food tables!

...and eating THREE pieces of wedding cake!!! They were small slices, though! ha!

He loves Scott! Especially when he gives him whatever he wants!

On the way home after the wedding he passed out with his new Buzz Lightyear book (he got as a ringbearer gift) covering his face!

A couple of other things...

Guess What???

We are starting to potty train.

He is doing really good!

Look at his cute little Elmo undies!

Sara-Kate and Eli came over last week so we could exercise. The boys stayed and played with Asten.

Eli got to meet McCoy Kate for the first time.

Of course, Grady was all over her with kisses!

Last weekend we celebrated my Friend, Myra's birthday! I love both of these girls!

Me, Lisa, and Myra

4th of July...

We left for Asten's parents lake house (in Alabama) Thursday when Asten got off work. We arrived around 8:00 and the first thing Grady wanted to do was this: He LOVES "Papaws four-nenner"
He let Daddy ride him around when Papaw finished and they saw some fox and two deer running around!

Friday morning Asten and I got to sleep in until 10:00! Once we got up Ann made us homemade french toast. It was so yummy! We headed to Rome for a full day of shopping.

There were some really neat boutiques in dowtown Rome.

We found the cutest little bakery. It's name was "Honeymoon".

I think we had one of everything! It was so yummy!

Grady liked the icing the best! ha!

He loves his Nana and Papaw

When we got home Grady wanted to get in his alligator swimming pool.

We just stripped him down!

On Saturday morning, our BEST friends arrived!

Lee, Amy, & McCoy Kate came to visit along with Bryan, Brittney, & Myles.

Lee wasted no time getting the boys (Grady and Myles) on the jet-ski.
It was Grady's first time swimming in the lake. He's been down plenty of times and always rides the jet-skis, but we try to keep the lake water out of his ears (He's had enough ear infections!). He did good keeping his head above water.

McCoy's first time on a jet-ski, I think! =)

Lee's brother, Jason got to come and bring his sweet boys down to play.

Sweet Cousins

Uncle Bobo

Nana (Asten's mom) took care of McCoy Kate...

...and Grady while we enjoyed some fun and sun!

This precious baby is so good!

She was just happy to be here!

Amy and I had so much fun tubing...

..until we collided on our last go around. =)

We still had so much fun.

We could not stop laughing!

This is what a 1, 2, 3, and 5 year old look like in a blow up pool.

They had trouble staying out of trouble. =)

We watched Asten and Bryan shoot fireworks from the dock before heading home.

We had a great 4th of July weekend!

Hope all of your families did too!!!

Summer...

Did you know that...I LOVE SUMMER!!!

But I don't love the heat that comes with summer.

I just LOVE the fun things I can do when I'm not working!

Yesterday my girlfriends (Magen, Amy, Regina, & Lisa) came over and we had a pool day!

We went to lunch before hitting the pool.

I wish I had a picture.

Then, last night we met the newlyweds, Magen and Brennan, here: for this:

On Wednesdays at Bonefish they have $5.00 "Bang Bang Shrimp".

If you have never tried this, you are missing out!!! It is so good...but it is spicy.

Asten took off today and tomorrow. This morning we went to the pool and it was so nice to relax by the pool and let daddy swim with Grady.

After his nap we are headed here:

It's too hot to do anything outside besides swim! =)

Hope you're all having a good week!!!

Toy Story 3+Wedding+Father's Day=Busy Weekend...

Friday night we went to see Toy Story 3! As you know, we have been highly anticipating this event and were so excited to go! We met Bryan, Brittney, & Myles at the theatre along with our friends Lisa and Rodney and their kids.

Grady wore this cute little shirt. =) The Rave had these booster seats for little kids. It was perfect!

Grady is drinking coke and eating popcorn since it was such a special occasion!

He was too busy eating his popcorn to smile for the camera! ha! His buddy, Myles

Myles always holds his little head. =)

We had the BEST time and can't wait for it to come out on DVD!!!

Saturday my good friend, Magen, got married. She and I work together and have become such good friends!

The wedding was absolutely beautiful and so much fun!

For Father's Day on Sunday we first met Asten's parents for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. I didn't get a picture. =(

Then, we came home and grilled out with my dad and grandfather.

Here is Grady helping Poppy with his "prizes".

All the "Father's"

Pop, Poppy, Daddy, Uncle Will (Avery Rose will arrive in Sept.)
We had a great Father's Day celebration!
