Dallas Jr. is 7!!!

Dallas had a great birthday on August 8th! We celebrated with a trip to a local arcarde to play games and ride go-karts. He picked out a Hot Wheels theme birthday cake which we presented to him at his favorite restaurant, Nick's Airport Inn. He ordered calamari and sashimi tuna. How sophisticated! While we were at the arcade they each got a Spiderman popsicle/ice cream treat and while he was eating it his already loose tooth became really loose. I have a serious tooth phobia and really could not look at the tooth moving all the way forward and all the way backward! Uugghh, I thought I was going to be sick. I am not sure how I can endure this 39 more times between the two of them. Thank goodness, Dallas Sr. was in town and could help him through this. After we returned home from dinner, he got a wet wash cloth and pulled his own tooth. I never pulled a tooth, I just waited till they fell out! I was really impressed that he did it by himself. When PawPaw asked him the going rate for a tooth, he replied, "Maybe $50 or $100!" The tooth fairy left him $5. I think that is pretty good for a first tooth. The next morning he said "I don't think there really is a tooth fairy, I think it was you, Mom." He also pointed out that he thought the Easter Bunny was his Dad. Guess Santa is up next. Hopefully he won't ruin it for Sterling and the younger cousins. Go Karts, his favorite meal at his favorite restaurant, cake, presents, and losing his first tooth all made for a perfect and memorable 7th birthday for my precious angel face who is growing up way too fast!

Beach Week Litchfield

We had a great week at Litchfield with my parents and Uncle Whit. The kids loved the beach and playing in ocean. They did all the usual stuff jumping in the waves, boogie boarding, playing in the sand, and swimming in the pool. We had some great meals and enjoyed spending time with everyone. Can't wait to do it again next year!

Thank You!

Thank you to all our family who helped with the kids and furbabies(now baby)during our move and travels. We really appreciate it!!!

So much has been going on I am way behind on posting on here. Dallas finished flag football and t-ball at the end of June and graduated kindergarten. We moved from Asheville, NC to Chambersburg, PA. We have been busy getting settled in our new home. The kids are really enjoying swimming in our pool and playing with the neighbors. Dallas has done a sports camp and is currently in tennis camp. Sterling is doing great and is a mini me of Dallas Jr. She copies everything he does, and he is quite annoyed with that! They have both handled the move better than we expected and Dallas and I are so relieved with that. Sterling moved right into her big girl bed in her new room and became potty trained all within the first few weeks of being here. We really are enjoying our new home, we just wish it was closer to SC!

MudFish

Last weekend we headed to Doodle Hill Farm in St. Matthews, SC to watch Whit and his band, Mudfish. It was a great setting on a horse farm and they played in an open barn. It was a really good opportunity for the kids to see him play in an outdoor setting instead of a bar! Also the start time worked much better for them at 6:30pm

as opposed to 11:00 pm! Anyway, the music was awesome and we all really enjoyed the whole event. The kids think it is so cool to have a rock star Uncle.
