A Ninja and A Pirate

We had to dress up a little early this year since Charlie and I will be attending a swanky Delta wedding during the weekend of Halloween. Since PHS had a fall carnival, we took advantage of getting our candy and riding the hay ride early. Tripp wanted to be a ninja and he was a very good one at that. My little Vaiden didn't really have a choice - his mama is a little partial to pirates.

Tripp is 7!

Wow! Seven years has passed so quickly and my baby is growing up! Continuing our yearly tradition, we had grandparents lunch at Fox's Pizza in Richland. Uncle Lanky got to be there this year, but Papa Sid didn't get to come as he was cruising in the Caribbean. Gavin spent the entire weekend with us and he and Tripp had a great time. We had Tripp's birthday party at Mac & Bones golf course in Pearl. Everyone loved getting to play putt-putt.

First Grade!

Tripp started first grade this year. He absolutely loves his teacher and has made a lot of new friends. He is doing great and making his parents very proud. I told him that he has to start making excellent grades now so that we can get accepted to Duke Medical School on a full scholarship!

Slugger

Tripp played baseball again this year and had a great season. He is such a hard worker and waits at the door for his dad to get home so they can practice. They had a really good season and hopefully next year their uniforms will not be white!

Vaiden turns 1

Vaiden turned 1 on June 10, 2010. He is growing into my big boy and has the cutest personality. Continuing the tradition that we started on Tripp's first birthday, we eat with all of the grandparents on their actual birthday. This year, we ate at Corner Bakery and had ocean cupcakes for dessert. For his party, we braved the heat and had a "small" family party. Some of us had to take a break in the air conditioning! Mrs. Teresa made a wonderful cake and Manner Jackson made some of her famous tea cakes.

Easter 2010

This Easter was so special because it was Vaiden's very first Easter. We dyed and hunted eggs, made resurrection cookies, took some family pictures, and ate lots of good food. We also got to spend some time with our families and friends. Vaiden was very unsure about the eggs, but loved tearing apart his Easter basket.

First Sippy!

Vaiden is now drinking juice out of a sippy cup. He holds it all by himself, but he will drink nothing but juice in there. Don't dare put any milk or formula or you will be sorry!
