Butterfly Center at Callaway

The kids LOVED the Butterfly Center. A quick shower came up making it the perfect time to come inside and watch the butterflies.

Of course, they also had tons of gorgeous flowers to attract the butterflies

Callaway Gardens 2010

We spent a fantastic weekend away to Callaway Gardens. It was so nice to get away and enjoy some family time!

B in one of the many creeks through out the trails

We got a GREAT, GREAT, GREAT deal. We paid to stay at the Mountain Creek Inn and got to spend two full days at Callaway at no extra charge including all the fun activities they offered through out the park.

S at the Bike Ferry dock

We went boating, hiking, biking and even did some geocaching!

I have lots to share with you and will do so over the next few days!

My Favorite 4 year old

I love how this picture turned out. I love editing pictures!

Paint Can Gift

For M's birthday, my mom gave her an "M" can full of cookies. The best part is that when the cookies have all been eaten, we can use the can to store things in it.

Such a simple, cute gift!

M's 4th Birthday

Today my sweet M is turning 4! We keep asking her if she would please stop growing, but she just won't listen!

She is saying the funniest things right now. I think I could write a book, seriously! She loves her big sisters and brother. She wants to do anything and everything that they do. She is a mommies girl, although she loves and adores her daddy too.

M, you bring SO much joy to our lives....your beautiful smile, your contagious laugh, your sweet spirit! You are so loving and kind. You are always kissing and hugging us and saying, " I just love you!"

You, my little squirt, make our family complete! I am so thankful the Lord blessed our family with YOU!

Outhouse Story

M got up out of bed, came into the living room and announced, "I have to go to the OUTHOUSE!"

I just died laughing.....I think someone has watched too much Little House on the Prairie :)

M with her "Laura Braids" as her brother calls them
