Forever Friends
Michael and I with my mentor Kareen Pickett at the Lowry Park Zoo. We were able to coerce Kareen into joining us with our kiddos while we walked the zoo. We met early for breakfast at the Lake Wales Family Resturant...Whoo hoo! Headed to Tampa to meet up with the Fink family and Jenny and her daughter Marion.
Kareen with the Fink Family...Ben, Amanda, Sydney and Benjamin(was supposed to be Addison Grace)
Jenny and Me --friends since 6th grade!
Amanda, Kareen and I
After the zoo...(and after we dropped off Jordan back to his dad) we headed to the Fink's house for a meal and some relaxation. The last time the three of us were together was right before Amanda had Sydney....maybe I should post those photos.......
I love you forever friends.
Ahhhhh, the Birthday cake
Brooklynne was very hesitant about her cake.....
her mommy encourages her to try a bite and reluctantly she does.
Riley Jack's only concern..........."where is my piece of cake...and I want ice cream too"
As most one year olds do.....Brooklynne made a fabulous mess of her cake. She fed some to her mommy and some to her daddy and did a pretty good job of feeding her a good portion of it. Happy Birthday Brooklynne Kennedy
Brooklynne's Party Guests
Of course Grandma and Grandpa were there.....
My good friend Jennifer drove Jordan over (thank you Jenny) to enjoy in the festivities...She brought her family with her too.
Aunt Stephie and MollyClaire joined in the celebration
How cool can a 13 year old cousin be at a one year olds birthday party.
More presents for Brooklynne
Brooklynne enjoyed each of her cards just as much as her presents
Of course there is story behind the rocking horse.......Missy works at Dillards and was waiting till after Christmas to purchase the horse....there were several left, b/c it is against policy to save any item for a Dillards employee, Missy did not have that option. Missy thought her chances were good of getting one of the several rocking horses left....but alas, it was not to be. One day there were several....the next none. Missy as you can imagine...was disappointed. However, right before Brooklynne's birthday, a Dillards customer returned one and Missy got her rocking horse for Brooklynne.
I love my rocking horse mommy!~
Brooklynne's 1st Birthday
Doesn't that cake look gorgeous! Missy ordered it from a place in Winter Haven....fancy smancy..

This toy phone was Brooklynne's favorite present, after opening it, she would not let it go. Riley Jack in the background helping his cousin open her gifts.

The girl can eat
MollyClaire has surpased her brothers in weight, height....and now food. There has not been a food she won't gobble down. In fact, I've limited how much she eats.....even though she would eat whatever I put in front of her. Her favorite foods are sweet potatoes and bananas. We started her out just eating oatmeal at night, then we added sweet potatoes with a little oatmeal at night. Over MLK weekend, we added breakfast to her dinner. Finally, last week we added all three meals.....so our MollyClaire gets 3 bottles and 3 yummy meals a day. She has adjusted well to her food and has not had any negative reaction. Yeah!

Visit with James and Diane
We finally caught up with the Coughlins and enjoyed dinner up in Rome with them. Autumn and Riley Jack played together great and Autumn introduced Riley Jack to Connect Four. I also set up a blog for the Coughlins...hopefully. James will keep it up. Peer Pressure is great isn't it?
Fun Fun on News Year Day!
On New Years day...the boys (Michael, Buddy, and DJ) chopped down the two cypresses that were blocking the sidewalk. We still have to grind the stumps and replant two cypresses further back from the road.
Christmas 2008
Riley Jack enjoying the dinasaurs Santa brought him. Riley Jack had to be coerced into going down stairs to see if Santa had come. I think this might be the last year of sleeping in on Christmas morning. Riley Jack really enjoyed the tradition of Christmas and got into opening the packages. He noticed all the presents with an R on them and he wanted to opened them.
Jordan was a great big brother and helped to pass out gifts....or playing Santa Clause. The sad part was he didn't have much time to enjoy his gifts, because he flew home to his dad's the next day.
MollyClaire enjoyed every single piece of tissue paper. It did not really matter what was inside. Look at that adorabe smile.
