Father's Day Outtakes

For this years Father's Day I got creative (thanks to Pinterest) and made some great photo gifts for David and the Grandfather's (Poppi and Granddaddy). Each deserving father received a customized picture like this:

A personalized Father's Day card complete with Maddy's answers...

 And a personalized can of mixed nuts with the following label..

Pretty nice selection of gifts, if I do say so myself... But the outtakes from my photo session with the girls produced some priceless facial expressions that I just had to share with everyone.... Enjoy!

Kate: "I don't understand why she keeps taking pictures, surely there is 1 out of the 400 she took that will work"

Maddy: "I don't know Kate, just trust me, keep smiling and look at Mommy and it will be over soon" 

 "Oh, man! Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Enough with the pictures Mom"

"Do what?!?!"

May 2012

So you know you are way behind in blogging when Nana emails and asks for an update. And I am waaayyy behind on the blog but I am also thinking Nana and Grandaddy need to jump on the Facebook bandwagon. (Hint Hint) You don't have to be friends with the whole world, just me! Ha....

To catch you up to date on what's going on in the Bury World I have put together a pictorial review of May.

First up in May we attended the Junior League of Macon's 2nd Annual Touch a Truck. The girls had a blast getting up close to all kinds of trucks and vehicles. One of their favorites was this funny little race car.

Then on the Friday before Mother's Day Maddy's preschool hosted a lovely tea party for all the Mommies. It was adorable. The children sang songs, made cute gifts, and the teachers treated us to yummy tea sandwiches and cookies. The Mother's Day tea is an event I will miss as Maddy moves onto big school. :-(

 A week later Maddy completed 4K (preK). She had a great year with two of the best teachers you could ask for. It's amazing to look back and see how much Maddy has learned this past year. Thank you Ms. Vicki and Miss Brooke for everything!

Summer fun began quickly after school let out. Maddy hosted her first slumber party with her best bud Tate. They enjoyed swimming, movies, pizza, popcorn, and staying up late. :-) This was also the week we had to say goodbye to Tate and her family. They moved to Texas Memorial Day weekend. We miss them so much but know we'll see them again one day.

But what's the best way to get rid of the blues? Go visit good friends at their lake house and spend 3 days swimming, boating, and relaxing. So that's exactly what we did. We headed to Lake Martin, AL to visit our good friends the Bedford family. We have decided to make this an annual trip. 

The kids (and adults) loved riding the big tube around. Kate was too small this year but next year she'll be right there in the mix with the big kids. But don't feel too bad for Kate, she found a way to occupy herself.....

Maddy and Reif have been friends since they were 6 months old.
And if you ask them, they say they are going to get married. :-)
