What to do in Atlanta in June....

Hit the Pool!!!

Thanks to our buddies Miss Chrissy, Jake and Conner - we hit the pool in their neighborhood on Wednesday and had a great time!!! It is soooo hot here!!!







Mimi and Chase had a BLAST as you can tell from the photos - there was only one lifeguard rescue of Chase so that was good :) He thought he was sooo cool in his shades!!

Family Reunion - Lake Lure, NC

The grandparents (Nanny and Bubba) with all the Grandchildren!!















Chase is not all together into this "family photo" idea!! The other children were instructed - "just sit, don't move and keep smiling!!!"














Chase in his fancy new CROCS!!!

This was the best shot I got...Chase finally cooperated a little!!

The Birthday Boys Day!!!

FIRST I attended Mom's Morning Out at Mimi's gymnastics gym...wow what a FUN time!!













SECOND I got my haircut!!! It wasn't supposed to be this short, but when you have the biggest FIT in the world...they have to just BUZZ your whole head...thanks goodness it will grow back!!

Saturday Lunch...

Cute and silly photo of the two kiddos Saturday afternoon. 

Yellow River Game Ranch

Excuse these AWFUL photos - had to get a throw away camera and it was awful. We went to the Yellow River Game Ranch last Sunday and had a blast!!! Tons of neat animals to feed - very cool!!

Siblings?

During one of my usual periods of insomnia this evening...I am organizing photos...here are photos of Chase and Amelia both at 6 months of age....SCARY how much they look alike!! I wish I had a photo of each of them in neutral clothing...might be hard to tell which is which...thanks for indulging me...  

Well...at least Grant is making friends on his trip!!!

Grant gets up and personal with some of the local residents.... 

And....This is where Grant is spending his week....JERK!!!

hee hee! Grant is on a business trip (can't quite figure out how he secures these locations) to Ecuador and the Galapogos Islands! He sent us an email with a few shots...this one is outside of his hotel room...I am just so so jealous...he is going to OWE ME BIG for this one...hee hee!!!! 

The Girls Opted for the Sand....

Amelia and Lauren chose to play in the sand...although they had to parade in their cute swimsuits first!! Silly girls!! 

Water Boy!

Chase enjoying some pool time at Carolan and Lauren's house last week!! He stayed in the poll for over an hour -just happy as can be!! 

Amelia's Spring Ballet Recital

Today was Amelia's ballet recital...the theme for her tap and ballet routine was winter/christmas. She did great and had a blast!! Here are some photos taken on the way to the show in the front yard and afterwards with her flowers.
