Cole's Birthday party

We went to the Callum's pasture in Flora and had the best time celebrating Cole's 2nd Birthday!
They have gorgeous land with a lake with ATV's to ride, horses! It was perfect weather!
The only problem is that i broke a flip flop while i was there. losing your shoes in a cow pasture is not ideal - but whatcha gonna do!
I was having to much fun with friends! By the way-- my 2nd flip flop to break in a week. Jenny Wadford says that I must be walking wrong! :)
















The breeze was too strong to light the candles so we just faked it!
Look at Beau's tongue hanging out of his mouth in both of these pictures!

There were 4 wheelers and Rhino's on the go at all times!
This land is beautiful! perfect weather with great friends!


















Barnes, Samuel, Jay, Anna Claire and Mary Bratton

Mary Bratton really wanted to ride a horse so Martin let her sit on one for a little while!























That's right... watch out for us!

Beagle Bagel - now open in Madison

Some of our very best friends in the world have opened a Beagle Bagel in Madison!
This has been in the works for such a long time and the time has finally come!
Tal and I went for a special little taste test for lunch today and it was SO AWESOME!!! As Beagle Bagel always is!!!
And i will just have to say......The decor is also just so pretty! Great for a family meal, a ladies lunch, a business meeting - or whatever!
they can accomodate!

Here are a few sneak peeks from today -- !
Make plans to go... but don't eat all of the sundried tomato bagel with chicken salad --- save that for me!
And save the Beagle panini for Tal! See you there... we will be there a few time a week for sure!

















these colors make me happy!!!

Guess who had their first day of school today!!??????























wouldn't wear his shoes ... had to wear his 'BOOPS'

























We got two super sweet teachers!
Mrs. Leora ( who was Mary Bratton's teacher her first year at Pinelake mother's morning out)
and Mrs. Stephanie who knows Beau b/c her little girl was in his class last year!
So thankful for these teachers who will be loving on Beau this year!

Ready to go! He is fine... talking about 'Beauy going to school"
and he says it's going to be "soooooooo fun"
( pretty sure he gets to sooooooooo much fun thing from me)























climbed in the front with me for carpool line.
you can tell by his face that he is watching and seeing what is going on!
I kept telling him how proud I was of him and he would tell me how proud
he was of ME too!!!























passing the time in carpool line! He was liking the pictures!
he was saying "more cheese mommy"














and here he goes~!! He hates going in but he has so much fun 5 minutes after i leave!
they said he had a great day! He is still adjusting to the drop off! :)
Sweet Tracy finally just had to pick him up and take him in!
