Birthday parties!!

Davis had almost 2 weeks of celebrating his birthday!!!! But of course...our first born and first grandson on both sides...what else do you expect??


His actual birthday was on a friday and we grilled out with my parents and celebrated his big day and his "Big Daddy's" (aka my dad) birthday which was the next day! He had his first taste of frosting and I think he is a fan:) We got up the next morning and headed to Tuscaloosa for his second celebration...a bama tailgate birthday:) Then the next weekend he had an animal party with all his buddies. All the kiddos came dressed as animals and it was too cute!

It's somebody's birthday!!!

Happy First Brithday Davis!!! Your mommy and Daddy love you more than we knew was possible! I don't know what I did or thought about before you were born but you bring us so much joy each and every day. I cannot believe an entire year has gone by since I first held you in my arms...people warned me you would grow up way to fast and I am starting to believe them! We have 2 fun-filled birthday celebration weekends ahead!

Happy Birthday little man! This picture was this morning before breakfast:) All the birthday pictures to come!!!!!

Sassafras Rose Sharpe

One year ago today God got back one of his furry little angels. Sassy was my 16th birthday present but she stole the heart of our whole family. She was our baby for 12 wonderful years! Sassy was such a sweet dog and just loved to be with her family! She was a great snuggler, snacker, and had fabulous attitude! We still miss her every day and wonder what she would have thought about Davis being around:) I trully hope the poem below is true...

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

First Halloween!

My first Halloween was so much fun! It started on Wednesday night when I went to halloween night at Wynlakes and ate dinner with my pals Gunner and Anne Riley. I was not real sure about the costume that night...


Then on Friday we had a halloween party at school...

Then by Sunday I was ready to go in my costume...

We went to a party at the Sanders house...look at all those kiddos!

Hope your halloween was as cute as ours:)
