A Birthday Celebration

This week was a very special week. Busyness prevented me from posting on the day- but it was Hayden’s 6th birthday! It is rather unbelievable that six years ago God gave us an incredibly special delivery and Hayden came into the world, fast and furious.

He’s no longer a little boy. Not a single trace of those babyish features remains. He absolutely amazes me with his mind and imagination. I live him to pieces, this six year old of mine.
He loves animals and learning all about them, and wants to be a wildlife biologist when he grows up. He is also very into superheros. Very. Which led us to this Superhero birthday party.
We took loads of pictures, and here are some that capture the big day…







 
To kick of the party (and kill time before the pizza arrived) we had a silly string war.



 
Then we ate, had cake and opened presents.



Our superheroes were amazing and we're so glad they celebrated with us!

 
We had so much fun!
 
Happy (late) 6th birthday Hayden! We love you.

Summer 2014- The Beach Part 1

It may be September and school might’ve started and Pumpkin Spice Lattes might just be being served at Starbucks, but we’re still in the midst of heat and sun here in Georgia. And, somewhat amazingly, I’m not bothered by it. I do believe that I’ve acclimated to the south ya’ll! This Michigan transplant is not bemoaning that fact that autumn has yet to grace us with her presence. Typically mid-September hits and I’m suddenly expecting to be able to don my favorite comfy sweatshirt and sip hot apple cider or a chocolaty cocoa, never mind the fact that last week it was still 90+ degrees out. Never mind that at all.

However, this year I’m embracing the last vestiges of summer. At least I hope the last of it. Uh-oh. Well, I suppose that I’ll always yearn a bit for fall; it is my favorite season after all. But… back  embracing the last of summer!
I thought it’d be fun to put up some pictures of our trip to Tybee Island, and a teeny visit to Savannah (filled with impatient boys) as a tribute to our summer fun.
My in-laws met us there all the way from Michigan. The boys just love the ocean and only left it to head to the pool.
Our second day there we headed off on a boat tour to see if we could spot some dolphins. There's something very majestic about those beautiful animals. They love to frolic and follow the shrimp boats around catching leftovers.






 
We spent some time everyday at the beach. Hayden (much to this mama's anxiousness) went without a floatie. And Mason- oh my. That boy has no fear. He loved to ride the boogie board and swim. Even Sawyer enjoyed his first time in the ocean.


 



 
Needless to say we had a blast. I think I'll save the sunrise and Savannah pictures for later in the week so that I don't overwhelm this post with pictures. Is fall upon you already? Or are your still enjoying (or not) the summer heat?
