Laura's College Graduation

Saturday, I went with my parents to the University of Montevallo to watch my little sister graduate from college. I just can't believe she's old enough to be a college graduate. I'm so proud of her.

Laura in line ready to get her diploma.

AJ's injury

AJ got his first really bad boo boo yesterday. He was playing on the furniture and slipped and fell, smashing his lip and nose on the table. There was so much blood, I really thought he had broken his nose. But he perked up after a couple hours and was playing. This is what he looks like today. I've been calling him Rudolph.

Snow Day 09

The best snow we've had in two years.

AJ and Chewie

AJ loves Chewie (he calls him Ruff Ruff). You can tell that Chewie just tolerates him. I love it.

AJ's first dentist appt

You can tell just how excited AJ is about seeing the dentist!!






























Not real sure about opening his mouth. He did really well though.















The only thing he didn't like was laying back in the chair.















His favorite thing to do was spit out the water and then refill the cup.















Over all he did very well. He wouldn't let the dental assistant floss his teeth, but she said that was pretty normal and he did better than most children his age.

A.J.'s first day of school

Ok, I know I've been a dilinquent blogger on the family blog. I promise to update everyone on our summer happenings, but for now I wanted to tell you about AJ's first day of school. So its not really school, its a mother's day out program at Southeast Baptist Church, but to AJ, its school. We've been asking him if he wanted to go to school the past week and everytime we do he asks for Keith. Keith started college at Belmont a couple weeks ago so when we visit his Grammy and Papa we have to tell him that Keith is at school. We are only assuming that he thinks Keith will be at his school.

He was so excited this morning to take his backpack and lunch with him. He got out of the car and went straight to the door opening it himself and going inside.






















Here he is in his room. It is the 3 year old class called monkeys, so he is the youngest, but he walked right in and sat down. He didn't like that they had put pink playdo at his spot, so he got up and got the green playdo from a empty spot. Trey was so proud.















I'm trying to be strong, but I got a little teared up leaving him, especially since he didn't seem to care if we left or not. I keep watching the clock, just waiting for 2:00 when I will go pick him up. And we'll see how much fun he had.

First park visit of the year

The first really warm day we had a few weeks ago, Trey and I took some time to take AJ to a little park close to the church. We had it all to ourselves for about an hour and AJ had a ball. He was a bit timid at first and afraid to slide by himself, but eventually he was climbing all by himself and sliding and when it was time to leave he didn't want to. I'm sure there will be many more days like that this summer.

Prom Night

The Friday before Easter was my brother, Keith's, prom night. His adorable girlfriend, Whitney, lives in Lawrenceburg, so she got ready at my parent's house. That was great for me, cause you know how I love to take pictures. I headed to Unionville and was able to document a little of the pre-prom action.

Grease

I had the pleasure of doing the promotional posters for Community School's current drama production for this spring - Grease. They combined with the Drama and Music Dept at Eagleville and it is a HUGE success. We went to see it Saturday night and as much of a Grease movie fan I am, how could I not love the play. But it was even better than I thought it would be. Of course, I am a bit biased because my brother was Danny Zuko, but they ALL did a great job.

Naturally, I took my camera, so click here or on the picture to view the highlights of the play.

Camino Real

AJ loves all food, but we think he's particularly partial to mexican. Last Sunday we ate at Camino Real on Broad Street (a family favorite). Someone at another table was having a birthday which mean they get to wear the sombraro. Well, AJ just kept eyeing it, so the waiter put it on him. You really had to be there to see his eyes. I think it was so heavy he was afraid to move but he kept darting his eyes back and forth. Thanks to Nina for saving the day with her camera phone!

The Crucible

I had the opportunity to create the poster's again this year for my brother's play which was this weekend. Friday night, I was able to go and take some pictures during the play. Keith played John Proctor in The Crucible. Very dramatic play. And everyone did a great job. Take a look at the slideshow.
