1st day of school!!

1st day of school today!!!  Hard to believe that our babies that were 5, 2, and 1 years old just a little while ago are now 5th, 2nd, and 1st graders!!  You all woke up this morning excited to go to school...I wonder how long that's going to last??  All three of you had on your Atlanta Braves gear for "opening day"....and you looked cool!!  We are very proud of you boys!

Falcons Training Camp

Jay and Riley with Freddie the Falcon

Falcons owner, Arthur Blank

Took Jay and Riley to the Atlanta Falcons Training Camp today at their complex in Flowery Branch.  I have been wanting to go for a couple of years now, but it just hadn't worked out where we could go.  It was so much fun!!  There were tons of people there, too.  It is so nice to have something like this so close to the house.  We watched them practice for a long time...we saw all the players close up...Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez, Michael Jenkins, Curtis Lofton, Sean Weatherspoon.  We waited after the practice and got autographs from some of the players, too.  The boys really liked this part.  We got Roddy's autograph.  Jay saw Arthur Blank, the owner of the Falcons, signing autographs, so we went over and got his autograph also.  GREAT MORNING!!  I wish Cody would have went with us, though! He decided to hang out with Mama and go to work at the church with her.

Tooth # 2

Well, after waiting 6 years and 3 months to lose his first tooth, Riley only had to wait 9 more days to lose his 2nd one.  Now he loves to stick his tongue in the gap that his teeth have left.  He is so funny!

Riley lost a tooth!!!

Finally, after waiting "so long", Riley lost his first tooth.  He had been wiggling and wiggling it for weeks, and it finally came out!  He was a big boy when I pulled it.  He didn't even cry!  The tooth fairy left him $2 under his pillow here and $5 at Yaya's house!

Tossing Watermelons

  Boys, whenever we buy a watermelon from the store, one of our favorite pastimes is to take the watermelon rind and go throw it somewhere.  Across the road from our house were some lots that just had the basements poured....perfect for watermelon tossing!!!
