Lego Road Show

The Lego Road show came to Birmingham last August.  We had a great time seeing Lego replicas of historic government buildings.  Seeing it with good friends made it even more fun!    

Nan's Flowers

Cora's Birthday Party

We celebrated Cora's first birthday with family on Saturday, August 15th.  We had a mid-morning brunch so Cora would be fresh and happy and able to enjoy the party.

Nate decided to help decorate by putting the rocks around the flowers.  Sweet. :)

A local lady made Cora's cakes.  We chose strawberry for the big cake and vanilla for the smash cake. They were both beautiful and delicious.  I wish I had a piece of the strawberry cake right now. ;)

She wasn't too interested in the cake.  

But, she loved the vanilla ice cream.  Granna shared several bites with her and she loved every single one.

We love Aunt Lynn and Aunt Bill.  

Aunt Bill is so sweet to come by and visit us every week or so.

My daddy (Pops) loves this girl so much!

We love Aunt Jill too!

I love this picture of Darren and Cora.  

After the party and a good nap, we went outside for better lighting and more cake.

Look at those sweet fingers. 

Look at those teeth.

Happy 1st Birthday, Cora!

These were taken on Cora's first birthday, August 12th 2015.

This girl loves the cats and being outside!  She loves to swing and ride the four-wheeler with Darren.  She loves Nate (Bubs or Bubba).  When he is near her, she lights up.  She loves getting into everything!  She's not interested in toys.  She would rather open all of the cabinets and drawers.  She has a lot more sass and attitude than I remember Nate having at this age.  If she has something she shouldn't, she grips it so tightly and is so determined to hold on to it!  She is strong too! She is also sweet and loving.  We are so blessed to have her. We all love her so. :)
