Happy Halloween

For Halloween Davis was a BEAR.  I would have to say he was the cutest bear in the forest :)  He had a great time at the Fall Festival at a local church and of course carving a pumpkin was interesting.  Check out a few pictures of our Halloween Fun!!

Happy Fall

Josh and I started October off with a bang. We flew out to California to be part of a beautiful wedding ceremony for my close friend Sammi. Sammi and I cheered together for 2 summers.Stephanie was also in the wedding. She cheered with us as well and lives in Texas. That was over 9 years ago and we are still just as close, if not closer, even though we are across the country from each other. It was an amazing wedding, and a wonderful time for Josh and I to get away and have some 'us' time.

Josh & I at a Cafe on the Beach for breakfast. It was amazing to eat as the waves are crashing :)

Henry is the son of one of my closest friends. He turned 1 this month and we were honored to be invited to his party. I can't believe he is already 1 yr old. Wow, our boys are growing up so fast. Here is Kasi, Henry and Davis hanging out.

The first pretty weekend we had in October we took Davis to Dream Field farms. It is a pumpkin patch, petting zoo, and overall fun place to go. He loved it and so did we!

Davis loved the tractors. Of course his love for tractors could come from MaMoo, our John Deere expert :)

Every pumpkin was a ball that he loved to throw.....

Davis thought this was Bailey, and he loved the goats...poor goats, we tried to tell him to be easy!

Our sweet little man waving at anything that moved. :) He loves to say "hey & bye"

Happy Birthday Little Man

July 14th my sweet Little Man turned 1 year old. I can't believe he is already 1....they say time flies when your having fun, and boy oh boy are they right!! This past year Josh and I have experienced love and life like we never expected. Davis has been such a blessing to our family and we thank God daily for our sweet Little Man! :)

Davis' smash cake- which I'm very proud to say I made :)

Davis' Birthday Cupcake Cake :) Thanks to our neighbor, Rebecca, for decorating.

Gran and Grandaddy were great host for the party.

Grandpa Terry flew down to visit for the party and got to spend Sunday with us as well.

Davis enjoyed spending time with his Mimi and Aunt Erin....Aunt Holly came too but she seemed to miss the camera some how.

Everyone enjoyed the water......

it was extremely hot so it was nice to have the water at our finger tips!!

Happy 4th of July

Davis was worn out after a long 4th of July weekend. It was a wonderful weekend and most importantly we want to thank all of our service men and women. We have several friends who are currently serving and the sacrifices they make for our country and their families make a huge sacrifice too. We not only thank the service men and women, we thank the spouses and their families who also make a huge sacrifice...Thank you!!!

Davis loved his little flag that Gran gave him.....He loved waving it. Josh and I knew we were fixing to lose an eye.

Special Women

During the month of June two very important women in our life celebrate their birthday. Cathy's birthday is June 27th and my mom, Diane's is June 29th. Without these two very important women in our life we would not be the same people we are. Both of these women are strong willed, hard working, loving women....THANK YOU MIMI and GRAN for all you have done and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Blessed Beyond Measures....

As I look back on my childhood I can't think of a single memory without my 4 best friends. I know some people may have 1 or 2 friends from their childhood, but I have 4 that have been there for me since we were in preschool/elementary school. It is rare these days that you can say you have 4 friends who knew you as a child or pre-adult. I pray that Davis will have friends like mine. I know that I can count on them through thick and thin. We have been through heartaches,teenage years, High School years, loses of loved ones, moves around the world or states away, weddings, births and we will endure so much more together. Many people are shocked that our friendship has lasted through High School let alone College, but when you have TRUE friends like this you can make it through ANYTHING!! To this day we get together at least 2 times a year, more if we can and hang out. It is usually at Christmas and fall, but we have had 2 babies born and a wedding so we have rearranged our events a little bit. The last weekend in June we got together at mom and dad's lake house. It was perfect weather!! Danny and Day flew in from New York, Kacee & Rodney drove down from Chattanooga, TN, Kasi & Hank from Atlanta, and Cheryl from Birmingham. We were determined to get together if you can't tell. We have had a little saying since middle school and I beleive it fits us to a T-

Forget me not, Forget me never, I wish to be your friend FOREVER!!!

The boys enjoying the lake....Hank, Danny, Davis and Josh floating around.

My sweet boy and me in down town Alex City

We had to visit a local favorite while everyone was in town. JR's wings and Things...it is nothing to write home about, but it has so many memories.

Dayoung and Danny Oh- the newly weds of the bunch. I can remember the day Dayoung moved to Alex City and started school. We were in kindergarten and I can remember like it was yesterday. Mrs. Thompson said "there is a new girl that just moved here from South Korea...lets make sure we all welcome her kindly". Who would have known that sweet Korean girl would be one of my closest friends. Dayoung has a missionaries heart. She has moved to China, Japan, South Korea, and over the BIG POND (can't say the name online) to spread the wonderful news of our Heavenly Father. I am so proud of the leap of faith she has and the joy she has...we call her spunky Monkey, and if you were around her for a short minute you would completely know why. Danny is a newbie to the group too. In fact, I did not meet Danny until their wedding day. This is rare for our group of friends, but Cheryl, Kasi, and Hank okayed him to Kacee and I and we knew he was in. He is supportive of Day 110% and that is why we love him. He fit right in with the other guys, girls and the boys loved him.

Cheryl is the fun loving one of the bunch. Cheryl and I didn't know each really well until elementary school. We started this "club" so to say. It started off with about 10 girls in "the club" but as you can see only 5 of us STUCK together like glue. Cheryl has such a caring heart and giving heart and the mother hen. The funniest stories include Cheryl and sunscreen....or lack of :)

Kacee & Rodney (along with Davis and Henry). Kacee and I have known each since before preschool. Kacee's mother and my mom grew up together as close friends, and the tradition continues. Kacee and I were in daycare together, kindergarten, and spent many Sundays together at my grandmothers. We spent 2 years in Tuscaloosa together starting our college life... the stories I have with Kacee make me laugh till I cry and the support she has given me through out the years brings tears to my eyes. Rodney is new to the bunch, but he fit right in and you wouldn't know he wasn't part of the clan to begin with.

The Lamberth Family- Kasi, Hank and Henry. Kasi and Hank were High School sweethearts. Kasi and I grew up across the street from each other almost our entire lives, we lived together during the summer and then on into college. Kasi and I knew each other in preschool, were in the same kindergarten class and were inseparable a lot of the time. Kasi and I could write a book of all the things we have done throughout the years. Lots of them are too funny for anyone to believe if we didn't have pictures to prove it. Kasi and I cheered together, played softball together, laughed together and cried together....but most importantly, she is always there.

First Haircut

Davis before his first haircut....his 11 month picture. 1st I can't believe my baby is 11 months old but I also can't believe he is already getting a haircut. Cindy Jones has cut my hair since I moved to Montgomery and she was so kind to offer to cut Davis' hair. After the way he acted, she can appreciate adults actions a little more.

Davis during the haircut....Josh is stronger so he got to hold Davis....but I would have said "ok, that is enough, we are done....I can't stand him crying"
