FUNday Saturday

As I mentioned it is festival season here in Atlanta!  One of the most popular festivals was also this weekend, the Candler Park 420 Festival, which is a great festival with great music and all the usual festival-ness……but the beer lines are atrocious.  So, our friends decided to give the finger to the festival and make their own 420 festival at their house!  Yay!  But, long ago, Uncle Buzz had set the wheels in motion for the guys to go to Roller Derby that day.  So we split up.  Me and grandma and the boys went to the Lutz 420 Festival and Todd and Papa went to Roller Derby!  A good time was had by all!

No Beer Lines at the Lutz 420 Festival!  Holla!

How cute are my big boys sharing a snack together?

 

ALL the kiddos (minus Kellen)!

And the children play….

 

Cute little Lila Bean

Miller Lite versus PBR

Todd and Papa would make awesome roller derby girls!

Kellen: Weeks 2 and 3

We’ve been up to nothing.  No really.  But here are a few things….

2 weeks

3 weeks

Kellen had his first date!  Baby Lila is 12 days younger!  He was so nervous for his first date, he woke up with three pimples that morning!  As soon as we laid them down next to each other, Kellen made his first move!

And then he tried the classic “stretch to put his arm around the girl” move!

 

He’s got his own blankie now just like his big brothers!  Thanks Lukac Family!

He is sleeping in his own bed now!  Kills me he won’t be this little for very long!  :(

We took him to his first cultural event!  Our babysitter/nanny/family friend had a photo “gallery” viewing at our local coffee shop!  Check out her site!  http://www.mobileuploada.com/

 

And there has been LOTS of snuggle time!  I’m enjoying as much snuggle time as I can get now while grandma is here helping with the older boys, since I know it’ll be hard to get the time when she leaves.

 

 

And the big brothers?

Finn had FUN with the box that the blankie came in…

Story time!

Riley tried out the baby bjorn with his baby doll!

Dogwood Festival 2011

Its festival season in Atlanta, our favorite time of year!  This weekend is the Dogwood Festival (and the Candler Park 420 Festival) and Todd took the day off since Papa was in town for his birthday!  So we decided to head to the festival after nap time.  Sever storms are rolling through Atlanta and even though they didn’t start until later that night, the ominous clouds and scary wind kept the crowds away (and the weather cool!)!  So we headed down for Kellen’s First Festival!!!  It was a huge success!

Funnel Cake!

The Ferris Wheel!

I can’t believe he is tall enough!

Sliding out of the sharks mouth!

  

 

 

The Giving Tree

The boys got some new books as gifts this week from my Aunt Patty, one of the books was “The Giving Tree”.  Ever since the book came, Finn has been talking about building a boat.  Next thing I know, he comes home from playing at the park and a long walk with grandma and a bundle of sticks.  I was a bit worried, I didn’t quite know how this was all going to play out.  But evidently Todd had a plan.  I missed the building of the raft and the maiden voyage, but here are the pics daddy took!

Yes, Finn is in his Iron Man costume and Riley is in his pajamas!  They also took along a rubber duckie and a toy Ernie on an inner tube….perfect for floating down the “river”.
