bellingrath gardens

our friend kelly went with us to take some pictures at bellingrath and just to see it one last time before we move. we were taking some pictures to put on johnny's desk at work.

my very favorite

i can't believe i actually took a good picture without smiling at the camera...i cannot take a good candid picture to save my life!

we walked around auburn with jack and pete again on the way to columbus since we had time before my mom and dad got off work. this is where we ate dinner before johnny asked me to marry him. we have great memories in auburn!

we went to columbus to take jack's 6 month pictures. i didn't get any pictures at my parents house though :( jack did fine at his pictures, but he was of course a crazy man! he wanted to crawl off of the table they put him on. the photographers wife (who is in charge of setting up the babies and making them smile) told jack to act like a baby because he wasn't doing what most 6 month olds do at the photoshoots. again that is why we call him the crazy man!!

jack is really sitting up well these days...he still has crashes with no warning, but other than that i would say he is doing pretty good :)

grandmol feeding jack

swings!!

swinging for the first time. he loved looking down at the ground. he loved them!

we met andrea, clara, katie, kate, and sawyer at spain park. we had a great time! it was so nice to see our friends and play at the park. i guess there will plenty more playing at the park when we move :)

kate had to show off her fancy glasses since jack was wearing his cool shades!

jack couldn't take his eyes off of clara...they are going to be best friends!

welcome to moes!

we met at moe's to give clara her birthday present since we couldn't be there for her first birthday. it's so weird to see clara eat...she ate asparagus, chicken, noodles, and blueberries. it will be weird when jack can eat big boy food like that!

we gave clara a tutu and a sheep for her birthday. doesn't she look so cute in her tutu?

our house!
well it is official...we are homeowners!! we were waiting to post until we closed on our house. it was a long process and we are so glad that it is done and that we can say it is ours!! so here it is...

our kitchen...we are going to open it up to the den which is behind the sink

the den

the fancy pink bathroom...we were going to change it but now we are just going to embrace it. the pink, green, and blue bathrooms are popular in the houses in our neighborhood.

our bathroom

our backyard...we love the yard! pete and jack are going to have so much fun :)

the living room (this is going to be our living room/johnny's office)
