Thankful Thursday!!!

I am thankful for the gifts God had granted our family.

I just LOVE his messy face!!!

For Chatham's birthday we collected food to stuff backpacks for hungry families within the school system where I work. We were able to donate 2 shopping carts FULL of food to the 'Stuff the Back Pack Program'!!!!!!

Birthday presents!!! (A post from Chatham)

I got this cool slide for my birthday... I can go REALLY fast and I laugh SO hard when I hit the bottom.

Although, I can't always figure out how to get back up it.

It has a basketball goal and a place to throw a football through- Daddy seems really excited to teach me to do that. Although I am developing an allergy to grass and break out in a rash if I play in it for too long. So Mama is working on getting a different area to put my slide.

Gram and Poppy got me this cool Anywhere Chair from Pottery Barn- and I LOVE IT. Now I don't have to wait to go play with Harrison's or Cara's.... I have my VERY OWN!!!

My favorite thing to do is walk across the living room then turn around at the last minute and run and dive into the chair- it is SO fun!!!

I got lots of other really cool toys for my friends and family and thank every single one of you for making my birthday SO SO special- I think I'm REALLY going to like being 1!!!

Love,

Chatham

ANOTHER birthday party

This weekend we went to Winston-Salem to celebrate Cousin T's first birthday- and Chatham's...AGAIN! It was A LOT of fun, but as you can tell Chatham was WORN OUT! This was after lunch and presents- just before cupcakes and a MAJOR nap!!!!

Thankful Thursday

I am SO thankful for a wonderful, amazing, adoring son!!!!!

Easter Weekend

As promised Chatham got a hair cut on Saturday morning before going to Nana's for Easter dinner. Amby got Chatham some stuffed animals for his birthday and Nana got him a mega block fill and dump truck....which is a HUGE hit!!

Here are a few more attempts of Easter/Church pictures from Sunday. We picked the sunniest spot there was to make the kids sit still.

I learned a lot about patience and parenting while trying to get five kids to sit still and smile all together....you see who won that battle.

We have been going to First United Methodist the past few weeks and are really liking it. The Cadwallader's invited us one Sunday and we just keep showing back up!! And now we've met the Wade's-that's the littlest Wade, Lauren, sitting next to Cara.

This is Chatham's first Easter Basket. (Stuffed Duck, bubbles, golf socks, a chocolate peanut butter egg with 'Chatham' on it (for Daddy of course), animal eggs filled with fruit snacks, Reese's pieces (again for Daddy) and marshmallows, and bubbles)
