Pool Party

Jonathan and Amy have bought a new house that has a pool, and they closed last night, so we all went over to enjoy it, and we celebrated Phillip's birthday in the process. We hate to see them move, but we're all so glad that they chose a house with a pool.

VIPs...

Well, not so much, but we had the passes. Phillip got us tickets and VIP passes to the Jeff Fisher Charity softball game, so we went on Saturday. When I was preparing to leave, Lofton insisted on wearing his Titans shirt and Landon wanted to wear a baseball shirt, and Landon also thought he was going to play baseball not watch it.

It was a lot of fun, and Lofton got to get his picture made with several players. I tried to get his picture made with a cheerleader, but he had no desire to have his picture made with a girl. Both boys tried desperately to get T-Rac's attention, but they didn't succeed. I asked Landon if he would've let me take his picture with T-Rac, but he said, "No, I scared." Landon wouldn't even get his picture made with any of the guys, so I got in one with him.

It was a fun night, and we did feel very important.

Happy Birthday, Lofton

Lofton turned five on Friday, June 19th, and we celebrated by having him an Indiana Jones themed party at our neighborhood clubhouse. Lofton was very vocal in the planning of the party by insisting that it was an all boys' party. I told him that I would also invite family, and that his cousins, aunts, grandmothers, and myself are girls. He was ok with it, so we proceeded with a family and boyfriends party. The kids had a great time. Pop Pop made them each an Indiana Jones bag in which they put the treasures that they found on their scavenger hunt. Before going on their hunt, they had to complete an obstacle course.

Although the obstacle course and scavenger hunt was a lot of fun, Lofton couldn't wait to open his presents. He got a lot of great things which included Transformers, Wii games, an Indiana Jones action set, money, a water slide, a light saber, books, his own tackle box full of fishing stuff, a fishing pole, and two frogs. Yeah, you read it right; Lofton received two frogs compliments of the Griffins. And, he loves them. They have taken up residence in our new frog themed bathroom. Hopefully, the frogs are both boys or both girls because two frogs are enough.

It was a great day! I can't believe our little boy is five years old.

Lofton is 5!

Wow! It is hard to believe that Lofton is five years old. He is such a wonderful "little" boy. He has the sweetest personality, and he is so caring. Every since he was one year old or so, he'd give me hugs and tell me he loved me. He still does it all the time, and there is no better feeling in the world than when he does it. He is so smart, and he doesn't forget a thing. He keeps us on our toes. Lofton is a wonderful big brother, and Landon adores him. I love to watch them play together and to hear Landon giggle constantly when they're together. I can't wait to watch them grow up together, but I just don't want them to grow up too quickly.
