All Growed Up

Can't believe how big the boy is getting!  These were pictures taken last month at his school.  He SO has me wrapped around his little [big] finger! 

My New Ride

Should arrive Monday.  Super excited to drive to Disney in style!  Woohoo!

M-I-C See ya real soon... K-E-Y Why? Because we can't wait!!!

Disney or Bust!

The Boys Belong in the Zoo

Over the weekend, Aunt Marisa asked us to babysit Miller while she and Uncle Todd headed just down the street to the Braves game. What to do with two boys? Go to the Zoo, of course!

Enjoyed every moment with our cousin, Miller - all the way down to our dessert!

Impromptu Trip to Lex, KY

We went to Lexington, somewhat last minute, but enjoyed our time thoroughly.  Not too many pictures were taken, but I did manage to get one with the kids doing Asa's favorite thing - eating frozen yogurt with all the fixins!

Also caught a vid of Asa jamming at Bob Evans, our staple breakfast send-off joint.  It was a bit chilly outside, so Asa decided to dance the cold away.

That's Camping!

To our surprise, we had a great time camping this past weekend. There were some lessons learned, dare I say, for future camping trips - i.e. don't pitch our tent right next to the "living room" (campfire for the all-nighters) and invest in some river shoes. But mostly, there were just good times had and great memories made - that's camping! Dad's proudest moment: Asa catching his first fish! Mama's proudest moments: Asa peeing in the woods and pooping on the potty! Yes, we camp where there are bathrooms and showers, people! More pics can be found here.

Late, but Great

Yes, it's been almost a week since we celebrated with Daddy Drew on his birthday, but Mama's worked real hard this week and is only now finding the time to post these great pics. Enjoy a few more here!

And just a little bit of LIVE action with the kids...

Mama's Got a Brand New Bag

I decided to take on a new venture (in addition to all my old ones, of course). I have become a Sales Consultant for a company called Thirty-One. Thirty-One is a faith based company founded on the principles of Proverbs 31 with a mission to celebrate, encourage, and reward women.

So, how did I get myself into this? Well, about a month ago, my good friend, Sloane, invited me to her house for a shopping party. If there are two words I love - it's "shopping" and "party," so of course, I didn't pass up the opportunity. When I got there, I was overwhelmed with awesomeness! If you know me, you know I'm a bag freak... but even more so, I am an organizational freak! I fell in love immediately with the Thirty-One products. I spent plenty of money that night... and I've since used my products on a DAILY basis!

Ever since that night, I've thought that Thirty-One would be a company I could really get behind. Selling 101 will tell you that to be successful, you must sell what you love. Well, I love Thirty-One! So, I decided (with Drew's support) to just go for it - this week, I became a Thirty-One Sales Consultant.

I know this is out of left field for me - and, honestly, a bit out of my comfort zone. But with a passion for the products, I am excited about this new venture. You'll be hearing more very soon. Until then, check out my web site and peruse the catalog and if you have any interest in hosting a Thirty-One party (see all the potential rewards below - click on the image for a better view), please let me know. Think friend gatherings, work parties, baby showers (or sprinkles), housewarmings, etc. Have a party in August and EVERYTHING is 15% OFF! I'm ready to get started ASAP!

We had visited Cagle's Family Farm over the weekend. Mom scored a good deal on tickets for the tour and we just happened upon some really cool bonuses for the day, including a tractor show, farmer's market, and herding dog demos. All around - a great day! For more pics, click here.

Summer Fun

The summer is flying by... this month, Asa got a balance bike - to teach him balance first, then go straight to peddling (no training wheels) - so goes the theory that we will be testing out! We met a new friend, Taylor Grace, the 8-week-old of Andrew's high school friend, Andrea Eifrid. We played in the water fountain at Piedmont Park's all new Legacy Fountain... now a staple in our weekend plans. And had another hang out session with cuz Miller. Enjoy all of the pics!

As promised, pics of our trip to Elijay and down the Coosawattee River! We had a wonderful time with the Larkin-Kirby fam. It was a nice getaway and made us desperately want to do it more often! For more pics of our mountain adventure, click here.
