Upwards Awards Ceremony 2010

It was SO good to get our boy back HOME!!! and fun that we got to celebrate that night at the Upwards Awards Ceremony!



can you get over that hair??? I sure can't! the more humid it is, the curlier it gets. I love it though. I imagine she won't one day but I'm gonna love it while it lasts and she's not trying to straighten it. :)




love my boys!

back to a family of 5!

we LOVE YOU SO MUCH Harrison and we loved that you were able to go for your big trip...but, we were even happier to have you come back home!

a full birthday morning

On Saturday, Harrison's Birthday, we had a full day ahead of us. I ran in the morning and then took Jackson to his T-Ball practice. Harrison, Anthony, Mimi & Papa went to Harrison's Basketball game and then took Harrison to open his first savings account. That was his present from Mimi & Papa and he was very excited to start by saving his birthday money! :) After we all got home and changed we had a little time before the party. Addison took a short nap that was interrupted by a sympathetic birthday boy who decided her whimpering meant he should go in an get her up. I was not thrilled. I knew it would make for a cranky girl at the party. Oh well.

Harrison opened his present from us and then we loaded up the cake to get on our way for some birthday fun!

Addison wore her "party" clothes



love seeing this little boy finally have the chance to play t-ball. he's been a patient and faithful observer while his brother has played the last 3 years! he is SO excited it is finally his turn!

Here are the cheerleaders! We had a few extra this game so that was special. Chris and Joe were already and the GA Tech Game so they weren't with us but Cody and Jackson had fun hanging out at the game.

The proud brother...this little guy loves his big brother Harrison SO much! You may be wondering why he is still in his coat? I do believe this picture was taken towards the end of the game. He didn't want to. He loves to have his coat on and will leave it on for a very long time if you'll let him. We went over to a his friend Jack's house last week and he took of inside. About 10 minutes later, he comes running downstairs with Jack and I realized he still had on his shoes and his coat. He was fine to leave it on. I convinced him he'd be more comfortable without it. He keeps me laughing. :)

Donovan

My big boy! Doesn't he look handsome in his uniform! :)

This year Anthony is helping coach Harrison's basketball team with Harrison's friend Donovan's dad Mr. Deon. We're having a lot of fun going to the games and cheering for our boy! Jackson has grown up a lot this year concerning the games. He actually likes to sit and watch. Last year Anthony and I took turns walking him around because he couldn't sit still and threatened to run out on the court during the games. :) We LOVE the Upward Basketball program and are so glad we get to participate in it again this year! GO HARRISON!!! WOO HOO!!!
