Cecilia's Birthday Weekend

We traveled to Alabama this weekend for Cecilia's 2nd birthday! Anytime you get three children under the age of 4 together, you have your hands full!

Picture time is almost impossible, but we managed a couple that were passable.


Reilly's 2nd carousel ride. The first one wasn't captured because I was without my personal photographer.


Hannah and BB.

BB sure does spoil her grandchildren (and children)!


Jillian & Cecilia

At Cracker Barrel trying to get a photo of all the kids in matching outfits. I would give the photo shoot a D+


Um, lady, we would rather not have our picture taken right now. We're ready to E-A-T!


Ok, this is the best you can have if you're not going to feed us yet.
Reilly, "Did you say we were going to eat. I'll give you a smile!"



Yay! My first Auburn HAT!



Here, I'll pose for you!



Passed out cold after a super fun weekend! Thanks Jillian & Charles!

SummerTime!

Hannah "floating" in 4 inches of water!


Reilly L-O-V-E-S the pool. I think he'd stay in all day if I let him!


I gotta surprise in my pants for you!


"Hey, Whatchu Lookin' At, Lady? I know my belly's hangin' out.
You gotta problem wit dat?"

Check out my crabby pants and my rat tail.

More PhotoShoot pics

I just realized I had some more pictures from the photoshoot of Reilly! Enjoy!

Ridin' Forward

Reilly absolutely LOVES ridin' forward in the car. It's nice to see where you're going instead of where you've been!

Only Picture

Sadly, this is the only picture taken on our trip to the beach last week. We were 2 hours into our trip stopped at Ruby Tuesday. Hannah jumped in BB's lap and said, "Hey Mom, Take our Picture. Cuz we're cute!". We should have taken a picture at the end of our 8 our trip (that is supposed to take 5!). We weren't looking so cute then.

I LOVE my Papa! Can't wait to see you again!! Go ahead and start stocking up on groceries! now!

True Colors

Here is Hannah showing her true colors during the ballet recital...



So I did the next best thing and got a picture with her twin!

More cake...

...And his face. Daddy even got in on that action.

Let's eat some cake...

...With both hands...

I teased with the pictures of Reilly being very mad, but after he actually tasted the cake, he forgot about the party hat bugging him, and started to chow down on that cake.

The kid just loves balloons.

G and pop got a big kick out of Reilly and his fascination with balloons. G and Pop were intent on Reilly holding Orange and Blue balloons (Auburn colors for those of you who do not know), and getting a picture.

Red Balloon (and a chair)

Thanks to Aunt Debbie for the rocking chair, but this red balloon is intoxicating.

Reilly's personal cake

Bebe also made the cake for Reilly to eat for himself. And he did, but not until after he had a good cry, as you could see in the previous posts.

Reilly's loot

Before Reilly's party, and before his first nap of the day, Reilly opened some presents from his family. G made this monkey quilt and Aunt Danielle gave Reilly the pretty silver cup that he loves.

Birthday cake

Bebe made Reilly's birthday cake this year, and Stephanie decorated it.

Growing up is hard to do...

It is my party, and I will cry if I want to...

Reilly is really close to being 1 year old...

Reilly is one day closer and one day away from being 1 year old. OK, it is an old picture from Easter, but one that was never posted! Reilly is here with his God-Mother.

The End.

Hannah's band of merry dancers finished the recital with a band, and a massive fireworks display. I missed the fireworks with the camera, but here is the band of merry dancers at the end.

Floating...

Hannah had her first dance recital last weekend. Daddy would normally be up taking all kinds of pictures, but Daddy can't really do that with one hand tied around Reilly. Anyway, we did get one good picture out of the recital. Here she is floating, however the little girl in the back might be doing her business.
