Babies and Celebrations

Blessing seem to be plentiful these days in the baby department!!! This is a fruitful season for families expecting little ones! We got to do a lot of celebrating this week!!!

We got to help host a couples baby shower for Liz & Grant Huffaker. It was at the home of Kim & Dale Hicks. Here is the food table and pretty hydrangeas.

The parents in waiting....Liz and Grant!
They have decided on a name "Lily Jean Huffaker"
...estimated due date is Oct. 6th

Lana and I are excited about our babies on the way too!!!
Our baby girl is due Aug 23rd, Lana's baby girl is due Oct. 4th

We didn't let Grant and Liz off easy at the shower....we all wanted to see their parenting skills...so, they had to play some games...

here they are in a race to change a dirty diaper and then redress the baby. They are gloved and goggled up!

Kim and Dale had such a pretty house. I came home wanting to paint because she had so many fun and different colors throughout her house. I took a picture of this just because it was so pretty. In their living room they had the mantle and the wainscoting painted a cool turquoise color that looked SO GOOD!!! Neat Idea!

Congrats Lauren & Matt (and sibs...Davis & Haley)!

Amazing! She was ready!

Got to hold the precious little lady!

Milla had fun swimming and eating watermelon with her two little stud boyfriends in their matching Hurley board shorts!! So cute!!! *Asher, Milla & Will*

Asher climbed up in Milla's chair to give her a sweet send-off kiss when we were leaving!!

We celebrated a late Father's Day with Brandon's family at J. Alexanders on Friday.
Here is a picture with Aunt Kelli and Uncle Brian!

Fun In the Sun

MILLA
Milla's friend Haley just turning 2 and at her party they got to play in pools and on a slip and slide. They took a quick break for some birthday cake and ice cream. Milla is allergic to eggs...so, no cake for her-but thank goodness she likes ice cream so much--she doesn't even notice the cake is missing!

Pool day with friends
Harrison, Milla, and Hudson

It was great to beat the heat in the pool. Jill invited us over to her parents pool for swimming and lunch! We are thankful we got to spend the morning together because we just found out that Chanler, Ander, Marshall, and Harrison are moving to Charlotte this summer!!!
We will miss them!
*Chan&Harrison, Me&Milla, Jill&Hudson*

Hank is SUCH a sweet pup and is SO patient with Milla!!! She likes to make him meals and cook for him!!

The birthday girl
How can Bree already be 1 year old?

Kriya and Beau hosted an awesome party for Bree at the Atlanta Country Club pool. The only thing that didn't cooperate was the weather!! They had everything set up so cute and had so many adorable little details...pictures and decorations. But, as soon as the party began, so did the thunder...so, by the lifeguard's orders no one was allowed in the pool! It was hard for the kids to stay out of the inviting pool---but, after it down-poured there were plenty of puddles that the kids got to splish and splash in and make their own fun....so, despite the weather--a good time was had by all!!!

Milla getting to enjoy a juice box treat with some buddies close to her age...

The Benich Family
Bree didn't let the thunder and lightning get in the way of getting to taste cake for the first time!!

Kriya made these REALLY GOOD treats....cake on a stick!

* Milla and Grandpa Dunnington reading*
There is a sweet book written by Billy Crystal for his granddaugther called "I Already Know I Love You"--my Dad sent it to me before Milla was born and even recorded himself reading it on a CD---so, she listens to it ALL the time--but an even better treat is getting to have him read it to her in person!!!

Milla likes to show her great grandma (Granny Girl) all the photo albums every time she comes to visit!

Salads,Ice Cream & Relaxing

We went to spend the afternoon with my Mom in College Park and she made us a delicious lunch. She makes a spinach salad that I LOVE!!!! Here is the recipe....
Spinach, chopped up boiled egg, crumbled crispy bacon, toasted almonds, and the dressing is:
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup oil
3 Tbs. sugar
3 Tbs. Ketchup
2 Tbs. vinegar
1 small chopped onion (optional)
Thanks to the tip from my friend Lauren we learned about the free ice cream at Brusters! If you have a little one under 40 inches tall...they can get a free mini cone!!! Milla enjoyed taking advantage of that deal. She loves ice cream-- she is constantly asking for "cream".

Dad and Daughter

We got to see some old friends (Casey & Ann Marie) that we hadn't seen in a while and although it was their first time to meet, Milla and Macy had FUN playing together!

Milla gets really cuddly after bath time at night-just before bed. Here is a picture of her and Brandon kicking back and relaxing!!! Cozy!
