What we've been up to...

Taylor has been getting the garden started again this year! We went to a friend of his grandmothers in Canton to get some good soil. We knew that he was going to use a front end loader (yes...I know all of the different trucks now!!) so we took Banks. While we were there, the cows started mooing! Banks loved it!! We had a great time.

Yes, Leigh is eating rice cereal already! Where has the time gone. She is 4 months already! We are a little worried...as you can see she does not like plastic spoons....but you put her cereal on a SILVER spoon...and she eats it all! I think we have a little princess who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth LITERALLY!!!

Taylor gave Leigh her first bite of REAL food!! Someone already has her daddy wrapped around his little finger!!

My mom and I took Banks to see the REAL Thomas the Train in Birmingham Friday morning. Here he is when he spotted Thomas!!

ZZ, Julie, and Wyatt met us in Birmingham. The boys loved seeing Thomas! As you can see, we hopped aboard and rode the REAL Thomas!! It was great!!

THOMAS!!!

Inside one of the tents, the boys could play with all the different trains.

This was a man dressed up as Sir Topham Hat. Banks and Wyatt were not to fond of this..so we had to get in the picture with them!!

Hopping aboardThomas and giving our ticket to the train conductor!

Look...we are riding Thomas!!!!! (me, Banks, and my mom)

One of the train conductors came and talked to us while we were riding. Banks thought this was really cool!!

Spring break '09

My mom and I took Banks and Leigh to Orange Beach for spring break. Mimi & Papa, Diana, Salli & her two children, Hadley, and Aunt Debby also were there. We had a GREAT time. Having 5 children under the age of 3 1/2...there was never a dull moment. Banks had a great time playing with his cousins. Taylor was in New York competing against other law schools in a "debabte" type thing. We missed him so much but talked to him the whole time we were gone!

Banks has gotten so big! He loved the ocean and the sand (which is an improvement from last year!!)

We actually took Leigh to the beach one morning. Mimi held her the whole time No we did not get her in the water!! Here are Mimi, Banks, and Leigh!

3 of the 5 taking a time out from playing to have a snack!

Banks loved helping Salli build a sand castle!

I'm jazzy.

Wait...I think I see something. It might be a bottle.

I love my daddy--double chin and all!

Banks loves swimming with Ms. Lisa at Maley's. It's good

exercise for a two year old!
