Birthday Celebrations

So I have been waiting now for over 2 years for him to turn 30.  I hit my 30's a few years ago, and I have been the center of many jokes about my age.  He cannot say anything for awhile (until the 40's get closer).

Rodney's birthday was on a Monday this year, but we celebrated we my mom, dad and aunt Carolyn for Sunday lunch.  He chose Logan's for lunch!  Then for dinner that night, Rodney's mom, dad, brother and sister-in-law drove down.  They were able to come to church with us and to hear Rodney teach class that night (which he did a wonderful job on).  He got to choose the dinner spot as well, so we went to Ricatoni's!  Great choice!  Following dinner, we all came back to our house for dessert which is always chocolate cake on Rodney's birthday, made by his mom.

On his actual birthday, we went to Rodney's favorite place on earth - SIX FLAGS!

As for the next Saturday, we had a big birthday celebration for Rodney with all of our family in Moulton!

This is what a set-up looks like at the Bowerman house.  There is always a feast regardless of how many people are there.  The fish fryer was going, french fries and hush puppies!  Delicious!

And to top the weekend off, Marah lost her 2nd tooth on the bottom.  Wow!  My kids are growing up too fast.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!  I love you and wish you many more!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

He is finally 30! 

More birthday pics to come...

A little bit of this and a little bit of that

Summertime is going fast, but we are trying to make the most of it. 

Football season is on its way...

Could this be...

Macy's 1st Haircut

Marah never got her first haircut until she was 3, but I decided Macy needed hers trimmed up.  She had some really long pieces and some short pieces, so we had it evened up.  Mom went with me and held her while I was able to snap some pictures. 

  

All done

Camping

We love the outdoors!  Every summer we are able to head down to the lake where Mimi and Pappy park their camper for weeks at a time.  This was our first time to go this summer and the kids were definitely missing it.

The kids load up their bikes to ride around the campsite circle and Mimi and Pappy always have great food on the grill or in the smoker.  Macy rode on the inner tube for the first time (with Rodney of course) and she loved it.  The kids fished a little bit with Pappy and we all just sat around enjoying each other's company.

Love this picture!

Mimi is always prepared with colors/coloring books, stickers and bubbles for the little one.

And this would be one of my most favorite parts -the SMORES!  The kids love to make them, but they don't care much for eating them.  So somehow mommy ends up eating a bunch:)

We are so thankful for Mimi and Pappy and their camper for all the fun memories we make every year!
