Happy Birthday Charlie!

Six years ago today, Charles Anderson Flynn arrived--and our lives have never been the same! He was so excited when he woke up this morning to find a cowboy hat and "hunter gun" like Travis's on Old Yeller. Of course the "hunter gun" sounds and looks real, but harmless. He also got a new BB gun that will also hopefully be harmless with adult supervision!

We had a fun day today. He had a pizza and cupcake party at school today. His friend and neighbor Taylor has the same birthday, so the whole class was ready to celebrate! Taylor's parents and I also got married on the same day, same time...quite a coincidence

Molly thought she was mighty big in the kindergarten classroom! Thanks for helping Ms. Alicia and Ms. Nicole!

Daddy wouldn't have missed this party for the world. Daddy doesn't miss anything!

So if you see someone running around our neighborhood throwing rocks at dogs and telling them to get out of our drinking water, or shooting at wolves and wild hogs...don't be alarmed...it's just a sweet little boy with a wild imagination!

It Snowed!!!!

I could hardly believe my eyes this morning when I looked outside to see snow covering the ground. We had heard the predictions, but I had to see it to believe it. We have gotten our hopes up way too many times. The kids were so excited. . We were dressed and outside by 8:15! It's a good thing we went out early because most of it was gone by lunch. I tried to get Gray dressed up for a cute picture, but his eyes were too heavy. He slept the entire time we played. He may be in middle school before it happens again. Until last year, it had been seven years since we had had anything more than a dusting. After coming in to my warm house, I was thankful for living in the South. I don't think I could handle that kind of wind and cold every day. We enjoyed a mug of hot chocolate and played the rest of the day INSIDE!

Molly tried the snow and told me later it tasted like sour cream. Not sure where that came from!

Charlie didn't mind the cold too much. He kept lying down in the snow to make snow angels.Turns out, he's not much of an angel. Molly never saw it coming! Guess I should have warned her instead of taking pictures!Molly especially enjoyed her hot chocolate!My niece Erin Ruth joined us in the snowball fighting and hot chocolate drinking. What a fun day!

Snaggle Tooth

Friday night in the middle of chowing down on burger buddies, Charlie FINALLY lost his top tooth. It's been hanging by a thread and driving me crazy for at least a week. He wouldn't let me or anyone else touch it. He was very excited, but wanted it to stop bleeding quickly so he could get back to his burger!

Introducing...Miss Molly Ann Mobley

This week is Mississippi history week at Molly's preschool. Her teacher sent home a list of famous Mississippians to choose to be. I was thrilled that Mary Ann Mobley was on the list. For those of you who don't know, she was Mississippi's first Miss America. Molly has no idea who she is or who Miss America is for that matter, but she was so excited to get to dress up and wear "real" make-up. She didn't even fuss when I fixed her hair in an up-do! We had a great time. Thanks Ms. Brea for such a fun idea! There she is...Miss America...complete with white gloves and roses!

Notice the "real" make-up. She applied the lipstick herself, can you tell?
There were several Eli Mannings in a room full of boys!

Charlie wasn't sure what all the fuss was about. He kept asking, "Is Molly going to have to wear that dress ALL day?"

Six Months Old!

I can't believe Gray turned six months old on Thursday. Where did time go? I feel like he just got here. He is such a sweet baby. He pretty much wakes up happy and goes to bed happy. Being number three, he has learned to go with the flow! I'm so thankful for an easy baby!

. Happy Baby!
