Bella Turns 3!

Davis' friend Bella had her 3rd Birthday party at Pump It Up. The kids (and adults) played very hard! It was a ton of fun.
Happy Birthday, Bella!

Concert Night

Keith and I were married 8 years ago in July. "Our dance" was to the song "True Companion" by Marc Cohn. If this doesn't sound familiar to you, he is well know for the song "Walking in Memphis". Anyway...our local Hoover library has an awesome theatre and they bring fantastic acts during the year. And to my surprise, Marc Cohn was on the list this time! I marked my calendar for the tickets to go on sale and casually sent Keith and Davis to go and "pick them up". Well...Keith called an hour later and said the line was wrapped around the building and it would be at least another hour! I was shocked. I mean, it's the Hoover library for goodness sake! But- they were selling tickets for the entire Fall Season. Anyway, Keith so graciously stood in line (and Davis too) and brought home the tickets. The concert was last Thursday and was FABULOUS! Oh, and did I mention we ended up getting front row tickets!!! Oh Yeah! Then afterwards, we got to meet him and get his autograph. It was very cool. If you are interested, he has a really cool song on his new album about New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina. If you like music, you should check it out.

Play Dough on a Rainy Day!

It was kinda dreary...so we dug out the play dough! There's nothing better than making pretend food or snakes with a little dough every once in a while. The only problem, Davis has these Play Dough guys that when they "eat" they grow hair. The hair looks pretty cool, but it still kinda creeps me out!

Fall Ball 2008

Yes, that right...we signed up for Fall Ball. Which is basically T-ball, without teams....more like a T-ball camp. This season they are practicing from 1-3 on Sunday afternoons. (not the best time plus it's HOT!) They practice doing drills for an hour and then play a "game" for the last hour. It's really too much for 4 year olds. Their attention spans and even energy are gone after about 30 minutes. So far, it's been a trying season. Needless to say, I'm not so sure Fall Ball is in our future!
