Lucy's Party!

We had a fabulous time at Lucy Neal's second birthday party. Lucy Neal and Mollie actually share a birthday. They were born at the same hospital two hours apart so we call them our "twins"! You'll see in these pictures that they look just alike! haha.

This is Lucy talking herself into blowing out her candles.

Mollie and Lucy Neal were hugging before we left and they fell down in a big tackle and were tickled. They're so sweet at this age.

This is Louisa, Mary Logan, and Mollie. The birthday girl was sliding!

Look at how cute Lucy Neal is sliding! This was great!

My little Mollie preferred the baby slide!

She got kind of mad that I made her try the big girl slide! haha.

This is her in action. She looks kind of scared. I felt bad when I saw these pictures. Poor Mollie. She and her Aunt Kelli don't "do tricks"!

It was a great party with lots of really nice people and cute little ones running around. Thanks for inviting us Phoebe and Lucy Neal!

Tripp and his daddy hung out at home watching basketball while the girls "partied". We are looking forward to Tripp's first birthday party at the end of the month. It's hard to believe the little guy is turning one already.

She's two!

Mollie turned two years old! What a big girl! We decided to have a LAST minute party so we were so excited that some of our cousins were able to come celebrate with us! Thanks everybody for joining us. As we were driving up to the party, Molle was in the back seat saying, "We're going to my butday pahty and I'm so cited"! Pictured below from left are: Jack, Camille, Curt, Tripp, Carson, Mollie, William, Drew, John, and Nick. Baby Walter was sound asleep.

We had an unexpected guest.....an alligator that crept around in the water by the shoreline during the party. Can you believe he showed up without a gift!

This is Mollie and her GrandJoe. (She called him Banjo Buchanan today and we were hysterical!) She thinks everybody's name is Buchanan since her name is!

Mollie loves her cousin Camille! She follows her around and tries to act "big" like her. Camille has really good manners and is really sweet so that's just fine with us!

Here we are celebrating her big day! We are so proud of our sweet little girl!

"Tippa" just sat back and relaxed at the party!

William and Carson are SO sweet to Mollie and Tripp! Here they are about to sing Happy Birthday!

All the early risers went outside to swing the next morning so the others could sleep in peace. Thanks Carson for pushing them for us!

Birthday Eve!

Quick! Grab the camera! He's standing up by himself! Yeah Tripp!

(Look how short his legs look! So cute!)

It's actually Mollie's birthday eve today but we had trouble getting her to stand still long enough to take her picture this morning. But Tripp did lots of tricks though!

Oooohhh, it's hhhhheeeeaaaaavvvvvyyyyy......lift it up high Tripp.....lift it up over your head.....what a big little man!

Tripp took a break from all his standing and lifting heavy weights to just clap his hands a little while. Those are the sweetest little boy hands we've ever seen!

He decided to do a little posing now. He's such a little hunk!

Here's Mollie on her birthday eve. She's "wunnin weal fas"! She heard a dog bark and ran like lightning back to the garage. haha.

Mollie has some big news! She is working on living without the "nanny" (pacifier). She slept without it (many of them) for the first time last night! She is holding her elephant lovey instead. She's not real happy about it but her speech and teeth are being affected by those pacifiers. We'll keep you posted on how this new development is progressing!
