WOW…these three are keeping me busy!

Seriously, I can’t believe JUNE was my last post! Half of a year has simply flown by! I recall a conversation I had when Courtney was born. It was between me and Grandmomma Janet (Courtney and JT’s birth grandmother). She was trying to convince me that it would be a bit more challenging to keep up (with pictures on Facebook and on our blog) once we brought Courtney home. My reaction was typical “me”…thinking I could “do it all”…a lot has changed since then…I realize now I don’t HAVE to do it all! With the help of those that love me most…I’ve learned to let some things go and I truly believe I’m a better mommy b/c of it! With that being said…we’ve been super busy keeping up with these three kiddos! It’s been exciting…exhausting…and FUN! I have tried to keep my camera close by and have soooo many pictures! At this point I’m not even going to attempt a “catch up” post…I’ll just try and hit some highlights! Today I'll start with Luke's 1st birthday...
Luke’s FIRST birthday ROCKED!
We celebrated our little rocker with a garage band concert! The day was HOT and HUMID!!! It rained for most of the party making it a little crowded inside the garage but we all had so much fun! Jeremy went along with my crazy ideas and built a stage, a microphone stand, and a guitar stand…I know, I’m one blessed girl to have a hubby so sweet!! Jeremy’s mom and dad (Mimi and Pawpaw Tommy) bought Luke his very first drum set! The big kids had a great time playing in “the mosh pit” (aka the trampoline) and playing Wii dance games. We all loved watching Little Luke smash his cake, but he seemed to enjoy the chocolate guitars most of all!
