Cora's First Birthday

Getting cupcakes ready for the party! 

After trying to have Cora's party at the school playground, and it raining, we ended up celebrating at our house, in the carport. It was a great party! Cora had a blast eating her cake and opening presents.


Everyone WAS wearing pink...I was so frantic with trying to set up so fast, that I didn't notice the boys were wearing their costumes. In the end, it turned out better because the boys were enjoying having everyone over, and being the superheroes that they are. :)

Cora needed a little help blowing out her candle. Who better to help than Iron Man and Mr. Incredible?! 

She loved her cake! (I made Nana Fagan's homemade icing. I missed her so much not being there. She would have given Cora a run for her money with that cake!)


Sweet sweet girl. So glad God has allowed her to be our princess. 

She loved trying to give everybody some cake! 

All of the grandkids! 

Anders had to be in the picture with Cousin Rhett! They're big buddies! 

Today is Ava's birthday too! I hate I didn't get their picture made together.

After like 15 takes, we finally got a good picture with Boop Boop! ;)

DDaddy wanted some cake! 

The talented Weezie Crow made this adorable sign for Cora! 

The sugar is kicking in!! 


Sweet Aunt Margaret

I could not have made it through this party without my parents and Brad's parents. They brought tables, chairs, balloons, chips... pretty much everything! It's great to have so much family close by!

Pops got a little TOO close!

Sneaky sneaky Uncle Scott... 

I love the sight of a yard full of kids having fun and playing together. Makes my heart smile. 

Memaw was so sweet to let us borrow tables and chairs and a cupcake pan or two for this party. 
We love living close! 

There's no telling what Pops is telling her...

Cora AND the highchair got a bath after that smashcake! 

Opening presents!! 
I think she's genuinely excited about having her own girly toys! No more racecars and action figures! 


After her party! We went to watch Jaden play baseball, and then to Ava's birthday party. These babies were whooped. 


We thank God every day for our kids. He has given us the ability to care for our three gifts and we try always, to be the best leaders we can be. 
Cora was our best present in 2014. 
Happy Birthday Cora! 
We love you!
-Daddy, Mommy, Brother and Baby A

April

You never know what they'll end up with, when they visit Pops at his store! Sassy had her first Oreo! 

Mickey Mouse turkey sandwich and Brussels sprouts! They love it. Weird kids! 

Mrs. Liz brought us some fresh from the farm chicken eggs! 
The first one we cracked had a double yolk! 

Cora petting Crimmer through the hammock and Anders relaxing. Love days like this! 
Anders loves to feel like one of the big kids. I'm so glad Jaden likes to include his brother! 

My pretty baby girl

I found this green bookshelf in the cellar! Wow what a difference it makes! 
They actually want to look at these books now! 

Circus Day at school! Jaden was the "Strong Man"

We love being outside! Today we planted a little tiny baby garden. 

Fun at Bryson's birthday party! 

Cora has weened herself. Bittersweet day for mommy. This is her first cup of milk! 

Eating real food, like a big girl and cleaning her plate! 

Makeover! Still have to make the wooden shutters.

Another makeover! 

Happy 30th Anniversary to Northport Auto Supply! 

11 months... Where has the time gone. She's the best girl ever! 

First Publix cookie! 

Water gun war!

I cleaned up the church pew that was in the carport, and moved it in. It's like it belongs there. 
In memory of Mr. Tunnell. 

DDaddy is giving Cora a lesson in baseball...

Bath time fun! 

Her face says it all! 

Another makeover! 
I bought this off of a garage sale online, and painted it for Cora's room.
