Rainy Day Fun!

It has rained for 2 days straight! I have to admit that I have enjoyed every single minute of being cooped up with my two favorite people. Today I let Jane Baird put on her rain coat to play in the rain. She had so much fun! This was her first time to play in the rain and of course she was not happy when it was time to go in.

Happy Birthday to my sweet, sweet husband! He is my best friend and I feel so blessed to spend my life with him. For his birthday, I surprised him with tickets to the Bama game. We used to always go to at least the first game of the season before JB was born because it always fell on his birthday weekend. After our sweet daughter was born we just stopped going and settled for watching the games at home. Alan was very surprised and happy when he found out we were going to the game today and we had such a fun day! (Thanks, Lauren!)

While Alan and I were in T-Town, Jane Baird got to spend the day with Jack, Hayes, and Grandma & Pops! She was so excited to get over there this morning. She told me on the way over that she wanted to take a nap over at Grandma and Pop's house...what she meant was "leave me over there for a long time!"

After the game we had dinner at my parents house. Today is also Jack's birthday so mom made a special birthday dinner for Jack and Alan. She also made them both a delicious chocolate cake. It was one of the best cakes I've even eaten!

I'm looking forward to relaxing for the next couple of days with my sweet family. Happy Labor Day!!!

A couple of weekends ago we took Hayes and JB to the McWane Science Center. We had a blast! Too bad my camera battery died at the first exhibit :( Anyway at least I got a pic of each of them on the bed of nails.

JB made a new friend at the Chick Fil A playground!

Showing off her new Elmo pjs that she picked out as a reward for going potty Eating Cake! She thought she was going to get to eat that whole plate of cake... These were taken on her first official day of school.

One night we were watching TV and we saw a Zebra. JB thought it was a horse and she wanted to ride it. I tried to explain to her that people don't ride zebras and besides it was on TV. Well she had a melt down and threw a little tantrum. I found her zebra print dress and threw it over Daddy's knee and told her to ride. She was satisfied!

This cracks me up! On Saturday (after 3 months of nagging her about the potty) she finally decides to go potty. She got to put on her Dora panties and this is a pic of her modeling them! I love my silly girl!!! She went potty all day Saturday and Sunday and tonight she even pooped in the potty! We are so proud and relieved! And no accidents YET.
