Birthdays and Bicycles

Travis turned 31 this week and we celebrated with cupcakes that Tate helped to make. Miller had a great time making a big mess with his icing!




The other excitement of the week has been Tate's first bicycle! It is a Hot Wheels bike, of course, and he is doing a great job learning to ride.

Adios to Al

My brother Alex is heading west this coming weekend and we were all able to spend some time together in Birmingham last Friday. He and his wife Ashley are moving to Denver at the end of the month. We will miss seeing him but look forward to having a fun place to visit!

Birthday Time!

Tate and Miller's cousin Neely turned one on July 7th and we went to Tuscaloosa to help her celebrate. The theme was Strawberry Shortcake, since Miss Neely is such a cute redhead. We had a great time seeing the fam!

Summer Fun

Last week we had a fun visit from our friend Melissa and her son Lance. Tate kept both Lance and Miller very entertained. On a rare rainy day we set up a tent inside for the boys to play in. They thought is was quite hilarious!




We also went down to B'ham to have a tour of the SU campus and met up with our friend Travis. The boys loved him and he was right at home having everyone crawl up in his lap:)



At the end of the week, Travis and I met up in Philadelphia to see the sights...we had a great time and the weather was beautiful.



Trav with Rocky!

Zoo Date

This past Friday Tate and Miller had a date to the Birmingham Zoo with our friends Ayers and Addie Grace. We had a great day despite a few raindrops. Here are a few highlights...




Tate played in the water fountains, but Miller had more fun walking around the water and watching Tate.



Feeding the lorikeets..



Hooray for a fun day at the zoo! And, Miller and Addie Grace all worn out.

Beach Week

We have just returned from Seagrove Beach for Memorial Day and the week following which my dad has dubbed "McCoys in the Sun". Tate and Miller had a blast will all of their cousins and Tate got braver and braver actually getting knee-deep in the ocean by the end of the week. Miller was not too sure of the sand, but did a great job navigating with beach with his newly acquired walking skills.




We also celebrated my 31st birthday by going to 331 on Sunday and having a cookout and cake on my actual birthday which was Monday. Tate had a great time helping me blow out the candles but was quite disapointed that I did not have Spiderman on my cake:)

The final highlight was getting to see our college friends Amy and Brad Pimpson, I mean Simpson. Tate and their daughter Lolly had a blast dancing to the live music at the Baytowne Wharf.

Put Me in Coach

We play a lot of t-ball in the yard these days and now that Miller is walking he can't wait to get in on the action. I just couldn't resist posting these pictures. I hope we don't burn our boys out on baseball before it is even time for Little League:)
