The Georgia Aquarium

The first day Grams and Pa were here we went to the Georgia Aquarium. In all the excitment to get out the door to go see all the fish Brenner had climbed into the car without his shoes. No one realized until we were at the parking deck in downtown Atlanta. We all packed up back in the car and were off to find some shoes for Brenner. Luckily, we stumbled across a payless. The rest of the day was stress free and full of fun and BIG Sights. There is lots to see at the biggest Aquarium in the world!

Great Gifts from Grams and Pa!

Grams and Pa never come empty handed. They had lots of fun stuff for the kidos. Cayden got a cool pingu blankie and Brenner got a very cool soccer blankie. And Mia got a very awesome quiet book homemade from Grams. Wow!! Thanks Grams and PA.

Mia's homemade quietbook from Grams

Love at first sight. Mia loved her new quiet book that Grams made especially for her. Her favorite page is hands down the baby page. I am sure she will get lots of use out of this book. Thank you so much Grams!!

Grams, Pa, and Justin's first visit

2008 started out great. Grams, Pa, and Justin came to visit us in the middle of January. We had so much fun with them. The first morning they were here Grams made her pup pancakes. The kids loved them and wanted them every morning they were here. You know how Brenner is with his breakfast time.

We Love You!

November 2007

Brenner turns 7 in 2007. 

 For some reason Brenner has had some of the most amazing Birthday Parties and I am not sure why?  Maybe first born or something, but his Harry Potter Party was truly "Magical"!

There were magic wands for each child, the sorting hat placed the kids into houses, a magic show put on by Mommy and Daddy, potion mixing, a game of Quidich and even a Book of spells Cake- It will go down as one of the "unreal" parties that we have thrown!

Brenner- We love you and no mater how big you get- you will always be that special little boy to us!

Happy 7th birthday Buddy!

October 2007

May the Force be with You!

This year everyone went trick or treating as Star Wars Characters- Too Cute!

Brenner as Anikin, Cayden as C3PO and our little Mia was none other than Princess Leah, although not very happy to be wearing the Bun hat!

September 2007

The first visit from the Utah Family to Georgia- Tara, Darren and baby Breanne.

We had lots of fun showing them all the sights of Georgia- many of them for the first time for ourselves.  A Braves game, the Georgia Aquarium, the Varsity and many others.  We really had a great week!

Thanks Guys for coming to visit!

July 2007

The first "Spectacular 4th" on the lawn at the front gates of Tara!

And are the shows here ever "Spectacular"!

A local church and the city of Loganville put on the best display that we have ever seen.  Fallout from the fire works fall right beside you you are so close.

Our Little Mia turns One and loves every minute of it!  

Mia has truly made our family complete and we all love her sweet (and some times sour) personality.  

Happy 1st Birthday Squirt!

May 2007

Fun in the sun with Mimi and Granddaddy in Panama City Beach!

And if we are eating seafood in Panama City it must be...  MONTEGO BAY!

We have had so much fun over the years (from just dating to the current) in the Douglas family traditional vacation spot- Panama City!

Shrimp Pita anyone?

April 2007

-Easter Morning-

Just look at Mia- so squeezy, huggy and kissy!

The traditional over sized baskets and the little something extra- The Easter Bunny has always been very good to our kids!

March 2007

Cayden turns 4 and everyone has Happy Feet!

February 2007

We really started to get into the "swing of things" in February and Cayden started T-ball.  

Swing Batter Batter!  

Nikki was called into the relief society and I was in the Elders Presidency.  The kids were making lots of friends in the church and at school- Life is good!

Brenner also started Soccer at Blue Springs and would play here for many seasons to come.
