they may kick me out!

I promise I'm a southern girl. I play putt putt (not mini golf) and I drink Coke even when it is a Dr. Pepper. I've lived in the same state my whole entire life. So what's up with this?


You Are 50% Yankee, 50% Dixie



You're a pretty even split of Yankee and Dixie. You've probably traveled around a lot in your life.

Margaritaville. He blew out a flip flop.
Stone Mountain. So did I.
Definitely not the best part of the night!

The boys enjoyed the Laser Show, although I have no pictures to prove that. We were so crowded in that I couldn't get a picture. I had visions of really cute pictures of them sprawled out on a blanket on the lawn, waiting for fireworks. No room, no blanket, no lawn. Just squished on a walkway behind some people and in front of some people. Even so, it was their first experience at the "big rock." There will have to be more, and we'll have to get there earlier and I will NOT wear flip flops!

happy 4th!

We spent the 4th with good friends, having good times.


A hometown parade...






with lots of candy...





lots of cute boys posing for pictures...





and fireworks to finish off the day...


he's six!

{p}'s sixth birthday was on Sunday. It is so hard for me to believe that six years have passed since I became a mother. {p} joined the world to choruses of the OR staff yelling out estimates of his size... 10 lbs. 2 oz. He's always said, thought and done things that surprise us - things way beyond his years. Sometimes I can't believe that he's six already, and other times it seems like he is a whole lot older.


He had a great campout party with some wonderful, special friends. Happy Birthday, my little sweet {p}!
