Thomas & Aiden's bday

We had a blast at the Roper's house for their boys' birthday party. They always know how to through a kids' party. Everyone had a great time and ate LOTS of cake. Here you go...

Tommy aka "the chef"

May the force be with you

and also with you... :)

CAKE!!!

Thomas, officially 6 years old

Aiden, officially 4 years old

Spence was pumped because Thomas wanted her to hand him his presents to open.

Completely complete today!!!

...and Tim is SO happy--we all are. He did such a great job. We can't get Spencer to come inside, though. He finished adding the rocks today. It looks awesome and she loves it. No more home improvements for us for a while. Tim and friends were also finishing the screened in porch and deck at the same time he worked on this project. Thanks sweetie (and Scotty, Philip, Tommy, Jack and GrandDaddy!)--you're the best. Here you go...

Scotty Booth (very close landscape business guru/friend) helped us SO much-thanks Scotty!!

Enjoying the finishing touch-water in the sand/water table

I'm convinced she's found her new favorite spot at home.

Playground COMPLETE!!!

After MANY hours of hard labor, Tim has completed Spencer's playset. We are waiting on the mulch company to call back and schedule a time, but the most important feature is done!! Spence is beside herself!! Great job Babe!! It's looks awesome!! 

Tim admiring his work...

So is she!!

She is squealing right now!!

Have fun sweetie!!

Spencer's 1st Dance recital June 2010

We were SO impressed with the organization of this recital. Teaching Little Children (TLC) has been doing this for almost 20 years and you can certainly tell. All the little girls looked beautiful and did SO well. They all truly had a blast. Spencer was really excited! She had quite the fan club. There were 12 of us  and amazingly, we all found seats next to each other, once Tim told the Ropers what side we were really sitting on!! The place was packed!! She had her GrandMama & GrandDaddy, Uncle Tommy, Aunt Amy, Thomas & Aiden, Aunt Traci, Courtney & Michael and of course Mommy & Daddy there to cheer her on. Afterward we went to eat at the Marietta Diner. We were very impressed there too. There were tons of folks lined up outside the building, but they got us all seated in about 20 minutes. Great food! We love that place. Enjoy the pics:
