Happy 14th Birthday Shay

It is hard to believe that I am wishing my baby girl a happy 14th
Birthday!  Where or where does the time go????

We took Shaelyn out Saturday night for her birthday dinner.  She
had decided that she wanted to go to "Sticky Fingers".
It just so happened that her Uncle Michael and Aunt Heidi, cousin
Travis and his girlfriend Sterling (from Ohio)
were in town on a quick visit and joined us for the bithday dinner.
The only picture I took was of horrible quality but I'm posting it
anyway.  The food was yummy and fellowship was great and
Shaelyn was all smiles.  After the dinner we went back to our
house and ate Shaelyn's Birthday cake for desert.  A "cheesecake
named desire" from Coldstone Creamery.  We've had this yummy
cake before but it was a first for Uncle Michael and Aunt Heidi
and they concluded that it was the yummiest cake they had eaten
in a long time! 

Sunday morning Shaelyn awoke to her birthday presents and
cards from Mommy, Daddy and Aiden.  She was thrilled!

It's hard to convey into words just how much of a difference
this baby girl has made in my life. She has brought me so much
joy and happiness!  I will forever be grateful to the women who
gave life to my little girl!  Happy Birthday Shaelyn - you are
cherished! :-)


4th of July 2012

We took the kids to a Kannapolis Intimidator's minor leage baseball game
for the 4th of July.  It was a first for Aiden and he was very excited!  It was
horribly hot but we managed to stay cool with our spritz bottles, little
fans and umbrellas. Aiden got a little bored after about an hour but
he was a trooper and stuck it out.  There was a beautiful fireworks display
after the game and the kids ooohed and awwwed with almost every one!
It was a fun, HOT, but enjoyable 4th of July!




Father's Day - 2012

I've been a really bad blogger here lately!  It has been a couple of
months since I  have posted anything and boy do I have a lot to
catch up on!  Starting with Father's Day.

Here is a picture taken on Father's Day 2012 and I just love it! 
Shaelyn and Aiden with their wonderful Daddy!!!  Of course
Lilly and Sophie had to be included as well!  :-)  I am so
thankful that my kiddos have such a terrific Dad!

                                    They are truly blessed!
