Today, we will be taking a trip down Memory Lane for a bit because today is my Dad's Birthday. He would have been only 54 today! Here are some pics from over the years with him...
Our Wedding Day
Paw Paw Mike with Autumn
For Autumn's third Birthday, he came and took her for her first Limo Ride to Chili's for lunch. She told him she wanted a Limo for her Birthday. It was a lot of fun and I will never forget that day. She had the best time just going to lunch. I was pregnant with Austin in this picture.
Paw Paw Mike spent the night at our house so he could be there when Autumn woke up on her Birthday. He gave her a Playhouse that we still have to this day outside.
I have always loved this picture of Paw Paw Howell and Paw Paw Mike with Austin at Bible School. I miss them both...
This picture was taken at his Pawn Shop. Aren't they cool?
He loved to have fun! I believe he squeezed every bit of fun he could have out of his short life. He loved to go places with Autumn and Austin. Here is a picture of us at the fair when it came to Conyers. He won the kids Mr. Potato Heads. They were so excited. I am not sure actually if he won them or just paid for them. He was determined to get them!
Happy Birthday Paw Paw Mike! We miss you..
On a lighter note, here are some random pictures of our week...

On a lighter note, here are some random pictures of our week...
Derek let Alex and Avery put his Cowboy Hat on. It is a real Cowboy hat that came from Mexico via one of our Subcontractors, Angel. They were so excited to put it on.
Then, they had to get the boots out...

At dinner (and many other times they just get too loud), we often play the quiet game! The little girls will say one, two, three, go and when they say something, usually right away, they just start the game over again. There is usually not a winner since we restart so many times. Here is the only way Avery can last in the quiet game.

Alex and Avery love to pretend that they have earrings, from small hair bows around their ears to stick on and clip on earrings to this... a bracelet! Alex loved this earring and had to have her picture made.
Then Avery went and got her crown out!
...and put it on Austin!
I ordered the kids new shoes this week and had no idea how excited they would be! They ran around the house for a long time before stopping for a picture!
...and a treat!
...and a pic with Austin!
No pictures of Autumn this week. She has started practicing with the school Softball Team every day until 7 so she is really busy when she gets home..and really dirty! Her first game is on Wednesday of next week and we can't wait. She has been told she will be the starting pitcher! I will certainly be there with my camera!

Greaat blog! Pictures are adorable!! Those girls love to pose for a picture!! Happy Birthday Paw Paw Mike!!! He was a special guy!!! Love you and have a great week!!!
Happy Birthday to my old sweetheart! He will always hold a special place in my heart! Love you and love ALL the pictures! Especially cowboy hats, boots and crowns even on my grandson:) I know from dinners at my house, they do chatter quite a bit. Sometimes you don't know if you ate or not:) and this past week, I finished eating and forgot the pasta salad. Everyone else ate it but not me. I have started letting Avery sit on a stepstool to eat and of course this week Alex wanted one too. So... I get one for her out of the garage while everyone else is eating and wouldn't you know it was too dirty for Miss Priss? So... off I go to clean it and put a cover on it:) Happy at last and eating until we were about finished eating and Avery was cold and then Alex had the towel and Avery wanted the towel, So... off I go to find the exact same towel. Oh woe is me, huh did I eat? Oh well who cares. If the grandkids are happy, Ganky is happy:) Love you all! Funny... this was my Word Verification to post this blog:) Not spelled exactly right but PawPaw Mike never could spell too good! comara
Coincidence? I think NOT! ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!! R.I.P. I MISS HIM TOO. I REMEMBER I LOVED TO HEAR HIM TALK, I LIKED THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE. MOST OF ALL I HEARD THE FUNNIEST AND CRAZIEST STORIES OF YOUR DAD FROM MY DADDY.THAT IS WHAT I MISS THE MOST. GOD REST HIS SOUL. THEY ARE PROBABLY UP THERE REMINISCING ALL THE GOOD TIMES. THAT ALEX AND AVERY MIGHT GROW UP TO BE MODELS. THEY SURE DO GOOD DRESSING UP AND TAKING PICTURES.IF YOU CAN LET ME KNOW ABOUT AUTUMN'S GAMES. I WOULD LIKE TO COME WATCH HER IF THEY ARE NOT FAR AWAY.HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
I look forward to those cute little pictures of you and your family every weekend! What a pretty bride your were. I always remember my Dad talking about "Spike". He said he was a super good painter! And you know that is the ultimate comment coming from my DAD. It's a very sweet, touching little post about your dad.
Well, I made it through week one of kindergarten!!
Hope you have a super week, and let me know how p90 is going. Jason moved up to the next phase. I haven't made it there yet.
Toodles!
