Getting Wet at Old Fourth Ward Park!

We adventured to a new park today and it turned out to be more awesome than we imagined.  I mean, they had a splash pad and the coolest swings we've ever sat our little buns on.  As soon as we left, we asked to go again!

On a quest to find the playground!

Bingo!

Stripped down to our shorts and straight for the water:

Being super ridiculous under the water bucket:

Now to dry off in these stinking awesome swings:

Happy Birthday to Cooper!

Today is my little brother's 4th birthday, and we decided to surprise him with cupcakes at school, and then take him out for a special dinner of his choosing.  It was a great afternoon for everyone!  Cooper, you're my best friend and favorite playmate, and even though we're at each other's throats sometimes, there is still no one I'd rather spend my days with.  You're the best little brother I could ever ask for and I love you!  Happy birthday!

Helping put Star Wars rings on top of the cupcakes:

Happily chowing down on cupcakes with my friends!

Big surprise here - I chose Waffle House for my birthday dinner!  I also got a new Storm Trooper from my big brother - he's the best!

After stuffing our bellies with Waffle House deliciousness, we headed to Bruster's for some ice cream:

Dinosaur Birthday Party!

I have been looking forward to this for weeks and my party day is finally here!  And my birthday party was everything I had hoped it would be - dinosaurs, my favorite foods, presents and most importantly, my sweet family!  Happy 4th Birthday to Me!

Bebe does it again - another delicious, super-cool cake!

I wasn't really feeling family pictures today, but turns out I didn't have a whole lot of a choice!

Showing my best side for the camera:

Enjoying some delicious watermelon with Grandpa Tommy and Aunt Sara:

I love chocolate!

Woo-hoo!  Finally time to dig into my dinosaur cake!

And here I go:

Me and my Bebe!

Holy moly - a Storm Trooper helmet that talks!

Yes!  Hulk hands so I can finally put my giant muscles to use!

Watch out world!

And a new blaster - that I immediately pointed at Mama:

Molly and Papa supervising my pirate ship assembly:

Bailey coming over to check things out:

I even shared my new stuff with my big brother:

And the Hulk hands continued to be a hit with everyone.  Aunt Lucy looks fierce!

Big brother and Papa having a boxing match:

And of course our silly Aunt Sara had to try them on:

Checking out all of my new toys with Harrison:

After all the craziness, I sat down to take a look at one of the new books Cooper got:

Mother's Day at the Wild Animal Safari

We asked Mama what she wanted to do on her special day, and of course she wanted to go back down to the Wild Animal Safari!  So we spent the morning there feeding all of the crazy animals and laughing our heads off at their crazy mouths and huge heads coming into the van.  After we had gotten rid of all of our food, we had a big picnic - it was perfect!

Braves Game with Kindergartners!

Today we met a bunch of friends from my Kindergarten class at Turner Stadium to watch a Braves game.  We got to ride Marta down there, which honestly was more exciting for Cooper than the game itself!  We had a great time and can't wait to go and see another game - Go Braves!
