This little piggy....

was so proud of herself in her new piggie dress. Virginia, you LOVE your new dress and think that you are so cute in it.....of course I concur. I could eat you alive these days. You are in one of my most favorite stages of all. Where you speak in two or maybe three word increments and start to get a little sass but have just enough baby in you that everything you do cracks me up. Your phrase of the day is, "No, No Bibby!" You say it before she even gets to you while sticking out your lips and cutting your eyes. You also love to say that everyone is either silly or crazy..you walk around saying, "Mommy siddy, Daddy siddy, MoMo siddy."Please don't get any bigger....OK??

Tavie's house

Girls,
I forgot to post these but we couldn't forget our trip to Tavie's house. This is your dad's great aunt's house where dad spent a lot of time growing up. We had such a ball playing with our french cousins that were in from Paris and seeing the cow. I know it is fun for John to see you here because he has such great memories....I hope you all do to.

Callaway Gardens

Girls,
Grandad decided to take the whole fam on a trip to Callaway Gardens. Let me tell you it was a production. It tooks weeks of logistical planning to figure out how we were all going to get there and room. At one point there was even a 15 passenger van rented. Well, after driving only back roads (gdad won't do interstates) we made it!!! When we pulled up, Katie said, "Wow, this looks just like Quail Creek, look around Bibby, there is nature everywhere!!" That kid is a mess. We had a great time......exhausting, but great. Your favorite day was swimming at the "beach" it was really a man-made beach on a little lake but there was a hotair balloon festival so there were all kinds of festivities and the balloons were flying all around us. I know I will never forget us all being there.

RTR!!!!!!!

Bibby,
Daddy took you to your first Alabama football game Saturday. You were soooo excited and I was pretty jealous that I didn't get to see those huge brown eyes checking out the stadium, cheerleaders and Big Al. You two had a ball. Dad let you have Dip-n-dots, popcorn and cotton candy for dinner. He said you could not have been a bigger trouper. I know it is something he will never forget and I hope you don't either.

Sally and Mahayla

Bibby,
You were so excited today when I told you that Gray was coming to play when she got out of school. You get out at noon and she gets out at three and for those three hours you asked me at least a million times if she was coming and you also "straightened up a bit" which even included making your bed. You two had a ball. You set up your princess tent and your teepee and said the tent was your house and the teepee was your pantry. You then dressed up and you wanted to be named Sally (shocker) and Gray wanted to be Mahayla. She even asked me if I would please call her that from now on....you betcha. You did a "fashion parade" through the yard and then a photo shoot. These are some of the best shots....too cute. Oh, by the way, we just ate dinner with Gigi and Brucie and you asked the waitress for the "molded chocolate cake" (molten). love it. You also informed your dad and me that you could "do the robot" and when we got home we got a full demonstration....where was the video camera when I needed it. I can't believe how you two are changing. Virgninia, you are putting two words together now and can pretty much understand anything we are saying. You have developed such a personality. Whenever you poop now you immediately point to Caroline and blaim it on her. You can also point out different landmarks around town. You wanted to get in on the fashion shoot so badly you went and posed against the tree as well. I love you jokers.
