This is Reese on her first day of school. We are so lucky that she gets to attend the Pre-K at the high school that Drew and I both work at. She loves the high school!!!

When we visited Ole Man and Grammy in July, we took Reese and Davis to The Children's Discovery Museum. They both had so much fun there. Unfortunately, the air conditioner at the museum was broken and it was SO hot! We dripped with sweat the whole time--I am not sure if Reese and Davis even noticed. As a result of the air being out, we got tickets for next summer!

Davis coming out of a tunnel at the museum...

...and Reese playing on the dinosaur rocks.

Davis wanted to sit in the chair and pull his body weight like the big kids were doing!

Davis and Reese both liked going in the tower.

We also took the trolley across the river to a neat little park. They rode the carousel and played in the water fountains. Reese loved the carousel, and Davis loved the fountains. Afterwards, we got snowcones, but Davis was asleep during that. It was a very fun day!

The trolley ride is always the best part...

Davis wasted no time in the fountains, and wanted to play in the biggest ones!

Old Man & Grammy's

Davis loved the cows behind Ole Man and Grammy's house (this is where he learned how to say "MOOOOOOO"). One day Drew and Davis went outside making "MOOOO" sounds, and all the cows came up and stood in a line in front of them. When I saw what was happening I took my camera outside to take a picture. As soon as I got outside, they started running away as fast as they could. It was the funniest site!

We did get them to come back by making more "MOOOOO" sounds. But, not all of them came back.

Reese and Davis loved playing in Ole Man and Grammy's yard. They had lots of grass to run around in!

At Ole Man and Grammy's house we went to the parade on July 4th. Davis would have rather played with the grass.

A Day at the ZOO
Aunt Meme and I took Jack, Reese and Davis to the Birmingham Zoo when we were visiting my family in Alabama.

Meme and I were very excited to take the kids to the zoo (I guess we were more excited than they were! The kids had a lot of fun, but the animals got kind of boring after awhile. After awhile, Jack and Reese became only interested in riding things. Davis enjoyed his stroller ride.

Reese's favorite animals were the flamingos.

We went to a sea lion show...

...the sea lions were Davis's favorite!

Reese and Jack liked the carousel better than any animal!

The kids had fun at the zoo, but as soon as we got in the car, they all fell asleep!

Grandma and Pop's House

During our visit to Grandma's and Pop's house we had a surprise party for Reese and Cameron at Meme's house. We finally got to get some family pics.

This is one of the very few pictures that we have of Grandma--and we were very fortunate to get one of BOTH Grandma and Pops!

We attempted to take about 10 pictures with all of the kids in the family, but we have not been successful yet...maybe when they are all a little older everyone will be cooperative at the same time!!!
